Strategies Vs Tactics – Important To Know For 2009 [#19]
As we head into 2009, there is an important concept that you need to know. That is strategies versus tactics.
Tactics are the actions we take, the things we do in our internet business. Whether it be to blog a particular thing, instituting a particular plug-in, promoting a particular product, designing your site – whatever – all of this is tactic.
Strategy is what guides tactics. It is the broad, overhead view of what we’re doing.
Imagine the general in a war. He is sitting up on top of the hill, using his binoculars to survey the entire battlefield. From that view, he can see the broad picture and can make strategic plans to win the war. HE forms strategy. The individual movements he orders are tactics.
As we head into 2009, make sure you have a strategy. Otherwise, all the tactics that I and others can teach you will only result in the wheel spinning but not much forward movement. People like myself can help you with ideas and ways of doing things, but we cannot create your strategy for you.
