My Best Advice To Newbies, And Not So Newbies
People in the outside world offline call me Coach. You see my first love is as a private pitching, and hitting coach for baseball, and fast pitch softball. I love it, and have been doing it for many years. I've been pretty successful at it. I've coached kids who started with me at 7-8 years old who are now in college.
I do Internet Marketing when I'm not coaching because I realize that I won't be able to coach forever. I do Internet Marketing to develop retirement income.
Okay, that dates me a little bit, I'll be 60 in a few months. I've been around the block a few times.
On the other hand, you can use a mop handle, and have a technically poor swing and still hit the ball if you focus on nothing else but watching the ball.
My students get sick of hearing it, but as soon as they really understand it the light goes on, and they get it. They start to HIT the ball.
So here's my point, Internet Marketing is the same way, you need to focus on one thing, not 4, or 5, or 15. I often have students who are on the right track and then get a curve ball from a pitcher. Hitting a curve ball is tough but it's much easier when I tell them if they focus on seeing the seams, or stitches on the ball (super focus) as that tells them which way the ball is going to curve.
Just as hitting a baseball has the curveball Internet Marketing has shiney objects (curveballs) that make hitting the ball much more difficult. (making money).
So in Internet Marketing the best advice I can give you is to focus on the ball, and only the ball which to me is Traffic, and Conversions. Yes that's it boys, and girls that's it traffic, and conversions.
You don't even need a website for gosh sakes. Find an offer that converts, drive traffic, make money. To me paid traffic has the shortest learning curve. You get immediate feedback.
Well, I've rambled on far to long as I tend to do at times. Please, no matter what you do don't fall for all the shiney objects out there. Foucus on one thing, make that work. It will save you lot's of money, and time which is so precious.
Now keep your eye on the ball, before you strike out and are out of the game.
I hope this helps at least one person, and saves them a lot of time and money.
Just Do It!
