Do Newbies Make Internet Marketing Too Complicated?
Posted 08-19-2010 at 01:25 PM by davies856
I just thought I would share some opinions on something I have noticed recently when it comes to Internet Marketing, particularly in respect of people who are on email lists looking for opportunities.
Day after day our Inboxes are filled with product after product from all the Gurus out there, all promising that they have the answer to your dream of making it online.
These emails, products and sales pages are designed to catch your attention and draw you into the sales story. Before you know it you have opted in to another list and perhaps purchased another One Time Offer.
It’s easy to see how we can become stuck in information overload and in a constant cycle of learning, ultimately leading to confusion and overwhelm.
The fact is though; that if you want to be successful online there is one very important lesson that you will have to learn and that is to make the transition from constantly learning new things to actually applying what you have learned out there is the market.
It’s just so easy to get caught up in the constant cycle of learning everyday and forget to actually apply the knowledge so you can start to actually build your business. Indeed I have found the best way of learning is actually DOING, making a few mistakes along the way then rectifying.
Using a non Internet off-line example there is a member of my family who shall remain nameless and is now nearing 40 who seems to have been in college all her life.
She is so busy studying and learning it seems she has forgotten that when you study something you need to get out into the world of work and apply what you learned at the end of it – a bit blunt but its a fact.
The end result is no career, loads of debt and no money. How many times have we heard this type of story before?
The key thing to remember is that in our world Internet Marketing is SIMPLE and is about putting together the 3 core building blocks of an online business:
THE OFFER – something that needs to be useful to the target audience
TRAFFIC – there are many ways of doing this, stick with a few methods
and CONVERTING some of that traffic to paying customers,
...thats it.
