Some tricks for Newbies

Hi,
I just wanted to share some tricks and hope that some Newbies might benefit from these.

Am I a Newbie? I don't know, I have been bitten by the internet marketing bug since a lot of years, I have accomplished some sales, and have failed some too.

When I started with Internet Marketing, it was like a new world of information laid out for me...of course more than I could digest. Its so difficult to focus on actions when there is so much information all around! And I did get hit with information overload...maybe I still am.

I check the WSO sections everyday, I click on links in my emails. That does not mean I don't focus...after going through all the information overload...one day I decided that I need to stop and focus on one program, and I am doing that now. But checking WSOs has kind of become like a habit...which I am sure I will come out of, sooner or later. Ok focusing back on the tricks...I have a few..

1.You are a Newbie till you think you are. The moment you stop thinking that, you are no more a newbie. If you want to be taken seriously, stop thinking you are a Newbie.

2.When you go on forums or check your mails, allot a time for that. I tell myself that I will check the forums and mails for 20 minutes...and when those 20 minutes are over I exit the sites.

3.Information is everywhere, but how you use it is important, taking action is important, sticking to one program, one method till you consider yourself an expert is what is important.

4.If you feel you are not an expert yet, try talking to someone who doesn't know anything about internet marketing, tell him about SEO, or wordpress or any newly found knowledge that you may have. You will instantly feel you know a lot.

5.And lastly, whenever you are extremely tempted to buy that new shiny program promising you tons of money, go to goggle and type in "program name forums". So if the name of the shiny program is "make money now" type in make money now forums in Google.

What a person would normally do is type in make money now review or scam. What comes up after that is just affiliates promoting the products. So you will only see the good side, but if you want to see the good and the bad sides type in make money now forums and then real people's real experiences will come forward.

I can't tell you how much money I must have saved with this kind of search.Many times when I was hypnotized by the sales page, a search like that opened my eyes to the reality of the program.

Making money online is possible, but only when we think of it as a business and not a dream.

    This is all good advice - and not just for newbies.

    I particularly like number 3, sticking with one program. I find it easy to get distracted.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences.

        My number one for ANYONE coming into the industry is to be consistent. That to me is by far the most important thing that any marketer can do. When you really change your mindset and really put what you do into something consistently, you will see change in yourself and your business.

        Hope That Helps,

    Some excellent tips here. I agree that the temptation to buy the latest course on how to make money is very strong and a good idea to focus on just one thing at a time.

    Agree. I am currently experiencing info overload and data overload. Especially after i sign up to access the War Room and one PLR membership site. Actually this forum also has so much information that gave me a lot of ideas.

    Right now I am trying to focus step by step on how to build the idea that i came up with. It helps if i write those ideas and concentrate on each steps until i reach the final step.

    WF, War room and the PLR site helped me with ideas and materials that i can use on a present project. But i still can't stop thinking of a lot of ideas popping up every time I am on those 3 pages.

    So taking action is really really important whether you fail or succeed, you won't find out if you wont take action.

    Very true. You have to be prepared to put in more efforts than you'd at a 9-5 job. The reason being in a 9-5 job you won't be held solely responsible for profit/loss. In your own business, YOU have to answer YOURSELF.

    I guess number three and five are the most important ones. People start in this industry and jump from one product to the next one. After the failed two weeks later (sometimes one week or less) they blame the product or the marketer but never themselves that they failed and you know what they jumping right back in the circle like nothing happens. So sticking to one product, program or method and make it work would be the most important advice for newbies!

      Thank you! This is sound advice against ADHS like behavior many are tempted to develop when they are online. Including marketers.

    The KEY to making money online is to stick with one strategy or one program and then follow through to make it work until you reach what ever income goal you are seeking. The worst thing you can do is to jump from one program to the other looking for the magic pill that will make you a ton of money.

    Love your content but I would also say that picking a program that has a great mentor that comes along with it. If it weren't for my mentor I wouldn't have stopped program hoping and getting down to some real action!

    I have access to him 24/7 and he answers me within 6 hours of me asking him anything I need help with

    Good advice - another good piece of advice is that you should do a "money making move" everyday (Mark Hoverson said this I think, may be mistaken). it's very easy to get set in the mindset of out out content, set up funnels etc. but never actually make that final push to make some money.

    i usually search term like name of the program "instant riches warrior forum review " i get results and real opinion from real people. many time i believed sales pages that promise to make me millionaire and honestly i fell for it but before signing up i searched on Google warrior forum reviews. which actually save me from falling into these scam. I would sincerely like to thank all the warrior who are contributing here with real opinions and reviews. Awesome. saved me from fake promises and scams. Many sites they are just affiliates of that program with no honest input. Hats off to warrior forums
