Why You WILL FAIL In Internet Marketing...

yeah me too. but in isolation I finally found it's actually list building that started it all and it's measly cheap! I'm a natural writer and never find problem with copywriting, so writing e-courses just flows naturally. damn how could I be so blind in the past

all the IM trainings just help you going through the learning curve than if we figuring it out ourselves. Too bad too many people focusing on chasing the "latest secret strategy" rather than building the real business from brick and mortar. that's why they actually fail.

the real cost to start up an internet marketing :
domain = $ 10
hosting = $ 5 a month.
alternative to paid domain and hosting : free domain, free hosting, or blogger blog.
autoresponder = $3 a month or free (imnica)

This is a contagious illness we all suffer from...

very true dudes,
when i started searching for online work, i found some weird work like captcha entry and advertisement clicking.
That was so depressing. When i talk to people about online work 90% of them guide me that there is nothing like online work. It is only a fruade.

But after getting my university's degree I suddenly found a job in an SEO company. You i just applied for some computer operator kind of job but when they selected me after taking a bunch of interviews and tests. They told me that they are hiring me for IM. That was pleasant surprise because i was looking for that kind of job for more than 2 years and i suddenly got one. I learned most of the work pretty quickly and then one day i think after two months. I leave that job and now i am doing my own work. But i am still new i this business and there are many many things that i can learn, or i can say every thing.

I think a lack of good mentor who can hold your hand and show you the way.
Instead of buying products after products. If a newbie can pick a good mentor,invest that money with him and focus, he will build a solid foundation.
After years of trying different ways of making money by myself that's the path I took to finally start earning some stable revenue online.

Fact:
Out of 100 new independent small businesses starting on the high street, over 90% will fail in the first 2 years. Another 5-6% will fold within the next year. (UK statistics).

Why did I write that?

1. NEGATIVITY
Because there's too much talk in this industry about failure. If we continue to dwell on the negatives, newcomers will be perpetually bombarded with self replicating defeat. The IM business is not unique.

I believe this is a strong contributory factor, as it's telling aspirational new entrepeneurs that they really don't have a cat in hells chance, right from the start. Some people will consume this information, and give up before they even get going.

Fortunately I've found the WF is a place where the attitude is more, "How can we help", and "Here's my solution/advice/suggestion".

2. INFORMATION OVERLOAD
The most common answer, but is it grammatically accurate. We're in the Marketing business, and so my slant on this expression is HARD SELL OVERLOAD. Yes, we've all been victims of this, and you can't blame people for suffering with it. But they're not getting any information at all.
They (we) can spend countless hours reading the sales pages, watching the videos etc., but it ain't no good unless we buy the goodies. There aren't any 'schools' to attend, and occupational advisors shrug it off as a waste of time. They have 9-5 jobs, and little imagination. How can they advise on something which is totally alien to them?

You have to find out for yourself, from scratch:

a. What is it?
b. How do you start?
c. What do you need?
d. Where do you start?
e. Who can you trust?

There are many tips within this post and eslewhere in WF with some very sound advice. Some of these themes repeat - Mentors - Sparkly Things - Focus - One Thing at a Time etc. All are helpful and correct. It really depends on the reader taking notice of the repeating tips, and using them.

3. ISOLATION
The vast majority of newcomers are going it totally alone. They have no one to use as a sounding board, or to make a plan and split tasks with. They have to be totally self motivated and driven. Even worse if their partner is in opposition to the idea, it can add incredible negative pressure, and can even lead to people buckling under the negativity.

My advice is to make an effort to contact others in the IM business. Maybe find some blogs, READ THE POSTS, leave comments.

4. FINANCIAL
If you have the right advice, starting in IM needn't be expensive, but there are a few basics they'll need, such as:

a. Domain Registration
b. Web Hosting
c. An autoresponder (Own product or affiliate) for list building
d. Maybe some good PLR, again for list building

Beyond the basics, it need not be that expensive.
We all know that buying stuff which will often not even get read, let alone tried, can be financially crippling. Another reason for giving up.

A great deal of the same information can be gained in the WF, and by following good blogs. It takes more time, but an save a fortune in product buying.

5. FALSE HOPE and UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
This industry has a remarkable talent for expounding tales about untold wealth, in little time, with little or no work. When many newcomers start discovering that they need to target one thing, make a little money, then repeat or refine the same, and that it''ll take some time, persistence and effort, they can quickly become disillusioned, and give up.

They need to be guided towards earning their first $10.00, just to prove that there is an income to be made, starting with maybe only a little.
The positive impact of your first sale is quite amazing.

6. BOUNCING
As has been said elsewhere, if they don't give enough time to one method or niche before jumping to another, the likelihood of earning anything gradually dissipates. This becomes an ever self defeating exercise.

SO . . .
If there are any newcomers reading this:

• Don't Give Up
• Be Realistic
• Review what's holding you up
• Don't be too self critical
• Be patient
• Be prepared to learn
• Be prepared to work
• Ask questions ( Google or Forums)
• Clear your email inbox - COMPLETELY
• Open and digest any SINGLE product you may already have (after all, you thought it was good at the time) until you understand it
• Apply yourself. Start with the product/course that you've selected, and take each stage step by step.
• Stick with it, refining it if necessary, until it starts to work for you.

Alternatively find a good membership site or mentoring course, and follow the instructions - to the letter. Research carefully before you sign up though.

I really hope this helps someone, somewhere to realise that they're not alone, and that the mistakes they may have made so far, have been the same mistakes we made.
We are still here. You owe it to yourself to be here in the future, writing helpful posts in the forum for others, who will be just as confused as you are now.

In case you're wondering. Do I make a fortune online?
Not a fortune, not yet, but that doesn't mean I'm going to fail. It's a steep learning curve for all newcomers, with many new things to understand. I know most of the theory, but I also know it takes time and effort to put it all in place.
As long as I've got my eyesight, and a broadband connection, I'll be here for as long as it takes.

I don't intend to fail, and you shouldn't either. Just realise that the overnight wealth is spelt Bul**hit! Treat it as such, and keep a realistic view to how you are going to succeed.


Good luck in your (ad)venture. Prove the cynics wrong.

Cheers

Alan

That's how you do... You brand yourself as the product, and sell your expertise.

When you've got that down, your prospects will join pretty much any company you advise for the opportunity to be mentored by someone who actually knows what they're doing online.
