    Does anyone here have a good Marketing Plan for their online ventures? :)

    Planning is the key to success and many products fail due to lack of planning.


    Do you have a marketing plan that you follow over a course of 12 months?

    Hello

    Yes a plan is the only way to go. Without one you are just spinning your wheels....

    Just my 2 cents!

    Yep, you must have an idea where you are going. I noticed one thing from observation. The successful people are the ones who actually "have fun" doing the job.

    I mean Bill Gates and the Google guys have fun doing what they are doing. It all started as a hobby then they found the economic success.

    Of course. :) Marketing plans are vital to keep yourself from wasting time and resources on marketing efforts that won't work, when basic market research and planning can tell you what likely will. :) As a matter of fact, I'm drafting a new one this weekend or early this week for a project, and soon publishing outlines and samples and such on one of my sites. :)
