New to Internet Marketing world, and was wondering ...

To be honest if your not prepared to put 100% into IM then don't. It's that hard but very rewarding once your get going. Job and IM don't work unless you are using your job as a funding route to get started.

Don't let that put you off but there is a "tough" bit to get going in IM.

It depends. Some people start out "working" 16 hour days, others are able to put in one hour a day and grow their business. It depends on how disciplined you can be.

I will tell you this. If you pick a strategy and can devote a solid hour of focus to it a day, and work on leverageable activities like list building, you'll get farther quicker.

As for what to expect, you get what you expect, so expect a lot. The mindset you need for marketing is 100% different than the mindset you need to be accountant.

Accountants are typically historians. They crunch numbers about what happened in the past. To be marketer you got to focus on how can I best invest my resources today.

IM is not something that you can see results in 24hrs, it takes alot of time and sometimes needs investment.

Only choose IM if you really know what your getting into.

The reason why it takes people so long to get anything going is because there's so many options. It's easy to get distracted from what works and from your goals.

Most marketers add to this confusion, they don't relieve you of it.

Plus, then you have to wrap your head around the mechanics. So here it is. All marketing is driving targeted traffic to an offer and then selling product. That's it.

The problem is really understanding the customer you're appealing to and how to talk to them in their language and get their interest and attention. That's the biggest hurdle.

Then the mindset stuff which screws everyone up (and even people on the Warrior Forum participate in this type of thinking) which is freaking out about selling stuff.

So if you can devote an hour a day this is what I would do.

Every day spend an hour deciding what market you're going to enter until you figure it out. Essentially pick a market that buys information.

"This is an experiment."

That's the mentality you need to succeed.

Then once you've decided, now you put up a squeeze page that captures their email address. You focus on what a good squeeze page looks like and you model it.

A good headline and call to action for example.

Also you offer an item in exchange for their email that the market you picked might be interested in having so they will gladly sign up.

Now you're pretty close to money.

Next you spend your one hour a day focused on driving traffic to that page.

There are a lot of ways. Which is why it's important to get started now.

In the meantime, your job is to 1) try to get the highest opt-in rate possible, 2) write emails to the list of people you are building, 3) make them offers.

This is what you will learn from buying 10,000 e-books.

Is it easier said than done? Yes of course because it involves work. So most of us go off in search of the easy-button. And in our search we run right back into what works.

The cycle is typically this:

1) Total newbie, discovers 2) how to make money online, but 3) wants an easier, simpler, quicker way, so 4) keeps looking for magic bullet, and 5) keeps running into the same info.

Always follow this plan:

Build a website --> Drive traffic --> Build an Email list --> Form a relationship with your list (provide them with great info, interact with them with videos etc...) --> Sell to your list.

It would be best if you sent your list 2 great emails before pitching anything to them, also see if your list still does great when you email them everyday, but try and split test between the 2 if your list performs better when you email them everyday or every other day.

Dont get distracted, pick one thing and move forward with that. I chose finding a mentor.
