If you are in or wanting to be involved in Inbound Marketing*, here are some of the habits you want to acquire or develop in your system to be a successful Inbound Marketer.
1. Ego-check/Humility
Arrogance is not going to get you anywhere in this industry. It will only lead to a decrease in productivity and collaboration. To become an effective Inbound Marketer, you have to be humble and always ready to admit that you need help and advices from your co-workers and peers.
2. Focus
Set your goals one at a time and focus on it. This is a bit hard especially in Inbound Marketing where you will find yourself amidst a chaos of emails, blogs, offers, social media, targets etc. Planning & Strategy are critical, so stay focused and fix each goal specifically.
3. Agility
Monitor your goals and progress daily and always be ready to think on your feet if it doesn't seem to lead to the planned results.
4. Be okay with "Done"
Nobody is perfect and perfection doesn't necessarily always mean good performance. If a blog is done today, it's as good enough as the perfect blog yesterday.
5. Embrace Failure
Be willing to think and experiment new ways and different approaches constantly. Don't be afraid of failure as long as you're learning from it, whether it worked or it didn't.
* Inbound marketing is a form of digital marketing that involves SEO, Social Media, blog and landing pages to generate sales leads.
