I discovered Internet Marketing and felt in love with it from day one. (around Feb/2009)

I have visit couple of IM forum's and Warrior by far is the best, with good tips, advised, products and real life experience of people that have been there done that.

The problem and unfortunately the inevitable fate of all the newbies, is the overwhelming amount of information thrown at you on a daily basis. Although making money with Adsense is the first thing that I want to master and 80% of my attention is geared towards that. you can't help but pick at threads like, make $300 a day with CPA, how to make $10k in 4 months with affiliate marketing, why you should be building your email listing and so fort.

I now you have to concentrate in one area and just work your tail off until you see results. But there is also the ones that voice that you should diversified and not have your eggs in one basket.

How did you got over the information overload and what area of Internet Marketing worked better for you?

Cheers,

Lucky

    Hey Lucky,

    For me, two things helped get me out of the "paralysis of analysis". One was I figured out to focus on one thing at a time (a bird in the hand is better then two in a bush) and secondly, I choose an area that fit well with my skills and talents. I had a background in creating leads and it transfered well to the internet, after spending mucho wasted hours on how to's, I finally said "duh...i should stick to what I know". And I created a system to help people generate leads online.

    So step 1: say enough....unsubscribe from everyones mailing list that spam you with offers each day, they will only confuse you.

    step 2: figure out what you could spend hours in a day at and not get tired of it.

    step 3: do the thing in step 2 and don't quit

    Thats what's helped me.

      Articles, sales letters, whatever.

      If you can write, and work hard to find decent clients, you will be well fed.

      Thanks Landing Page Dude....The focus part is definately the one that I have to perfect. And I will definately start focusing more on productive hours rather than following the new best thing.

    The best plan to follow for any newbie, is first of all not to fall in the traps of getting rich overnight. Second, is to concentrate on building FREE campaigns using only free tools. Such as Squidoo, Hubpages, Ezine directories, blogs etc... when you start getting traffic you can build your OWN site. You can get you own Wordpress blog that you own for less then $10 a month.

    Study about keywords and keyword search. Learn how to target market, and look for hot products that people are looking for. A great tool for this is Google Insight.

    Then the next step is to write, write, write. Build sites, links, backlinks, articles, reviews, and eventually your own product.

    Is this all this too confusing right now? Visit my blog down bellow for more day to day tips about affiliate and internet marketing.

    Thanks for the tip Matt, definately if you are good at something already and have a background, helps narrow your goals.

    Cheers,

    Hi Lucky,

    You really need to make a decision about where to start and stick with it until you see some results. If you can't make money in one niche chances are you won't be able to in the next niche either.
    Sure, you can muck around with marketing techniques, but once again stick to three or four instead of twenty at once. This will give you the chance to see what is working best. If you spread yourself too thinly you will find it hard to see what exactly is giving you results.

It may be a good idea to target multiple niches in case one is too competitive, too low converting or just seasonal. I recommend figuring out article marketing. Since you are just learning now, it may be a good idea to go straight to web 2.0 type strategies as that is the latest trend that will likely keep expanding. Most successful online marketers also build e-mail lists. So that is another thing that you should learn early on.
      Mike Hill has recently published a thread on the importance of having your own list. if you have time, take a look, well worth it.

      I have been blessed with the ability to write and to coach others so that is where I spend most of my online activity.

      There is a lot of truth in the argument to diversify. However, in reality many so called newbies will jump from one niche to another or from one method to another without understanding why they may have been less successful than they had hoped.

      This approach will lead to further disappointment. Most of us will make mistakes as we try and grow our online businesses. Those that are successful embrace that reality and learn from them.

      Lots of very good advice here...

      Focus, don't be distracted by the myriad of emails you receive
      Promote, promote, promote
      Test, test, test
      Once you know what is working for you then consider other niches or markets, not before
      It will take time

      Regards
