There are a lot of mistakes you can make in your Internet marketing business. You can pick the wrong niche and develop an unprofitable marketing campaign.

You can hire the wrong ghostwriter and end up paying for bad content. You can spend money on pay per click campaigns that don’t turn a profit.

No matter what other mistakes you make in your Internet marketing career, there is one mistake that outranks them all. The biggest mistake you can make in Internet marketing is not getting started. If you’re dragging your feet on a project or are in constant “analysis paralysis”, you need to get over the hurdle and start succeeding in your business.

People don’t get started for a variety of reasons. There is a lot of information out there about how to make money from Internet marketing. Within just a few days you can easily become overwhelmed by the amount of information out there.

If you’ve been at this for a few months, or even a few years, and haven’t taken the time to establish your business, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

Many people put the brakes on their Internet marketing business because they are trying to do the “right thing.” They want to find the perfect business, the perfect niche or the perfect plan in order to make them guaranteed income.

There are a few problems with this line of thinking…

First, there is no such thing as the “right thing.”

Some plans may work better than others, but there is no one way that everyone will be able to make money with. Some people do better with info product creation. Others become experts at affiliate marketing. Some are drawn to contextual advertising.

The point is that there is no “right” for everyone. You won’t know what will be right for you until you try. Until you attempt to work on your business, you will just be wasting time.

In addition, once you choose your method, you may not have success with every single keyword or every single product. It’s not the nature of Internet marketing – it’s the nature of life.

If everything in life were guaranteed we wouldn’t be challenged to grow and change. Even if you fail at an Internet marketing experience, chances are you’ll have learned something important that you can use on the next project.

The key is in taking the right perspective. Understanding that there is no “right” way of doing things, you need to commit yourself to starting and seeing a product through no matter what.

You have to accept that your projects may not always succeed, but they will be guaranteed to not succeed if you never try. Many wannabe marketers spend their time worrying about whether or not something will work before actually trying. They spend so much time trying to find the right thing, they miss out on actually succeeding online.

Don’t be one of the people who wishes they could make money online and then never takes action. Take action and learn from your mistakes. It’s the only way to succeed online.

Every year has its highlight-one thing that makes all other events pale into insignificance-the flavour of the month, or should I say year. Currently Internet Marketing is vying for pole position. The power of the internet is huge; almost unfathomable, and it’s like an alien creature feeding on itself; it’s growing exponentially. You tube now has 71 million visitors a month-more than Google, (although Google very cleverly bought out You tube). The pace of change is “faster than the speed of light.” Just when you’re starting to master one technique you discover its old news, and the herd has moved on. Video is fast replacing the written word, and as soon as we get talking computers, books will probably become antiques.

Back to internet marketing:

Internet marketing “experts” are mushrooming. There are hundreds of guru’s who claim to be able to teach you how to make money online. The recipe is really simple, and as old as time itself. A portion of human greed mixed with a generous portion of desire to get out the rat race, off the hamster wheel, and to be able to earn a living working for oneself and not a boss. All the hard sales pitches leverage these emotions. Of course they parade before us the examples of those that have allegedly made their fortune online with screen shots of the large deposits on their bank statements, and whilst I don’t doubt that the claims have at least a respectable amount of truth to them, we never hear about the thousands that fail.

The truth of the matter is that the internet is becoming very competitive and making money online for most of us is really difficult. I’m sure it can be done and I’m sure there are many opportunities out there, but unless you’re gifted with supernatural creativity it’s tough.

Most of the internet marketers have moved from promoting their own products to a far bigger market- the internet Newbie. Us!- The gullible herd still trying to make our first £1,000. For every £ we make we spend £100, always driven by that elusive dream of making it happen. Google AdWords campaigns, internet training, support, outsourcing, marketing, listing fees-then there is all the software suites you need to get there: web building software, market research software, video software, article creation and distribution software, hosting, and the list goes on. Each software suite has its own learning curve. Some have really good tutorials….but it all takes time-that precious resource that is in short supply.

It is not the aim of this article to put you off internet marketing, but simply to give you a reality check. This is not something you do in your spare time; it’s not a hobby. To succeed you need to treat it as a job, as a career, a project that needs both time and resources. You need to formulate a formal strategic plan, allocate sufficient time, draw up your budget and commit resources. You will initially need to spend less time with your family, less time watching TV, playing sport, and sleeping. If you cannot make this sacrifice-don’t do it.

At times, like with all jobs it will be a real drag, but you have to fight through the pain. The learning curve is vertical. Every new thing you learn gives you the painful reminder of how little you actually do know. It can be downright de-motivating, and without the power of positive thought and self motivation you may as well devote your time to planning a bank robbery.

Once you have carefully considered the commitment needed, accept that your first investment is the most expensive, but the cornerstone upon which your internet marketing career foundation is built. Don’t skimp. Get the best training and support you can. Without it you’re sunk. Believe me! With it you’ve got a fighting chance. You will leave the course thinking you’ve got it all. You get home, turn on your computer and within a few key strokes you already have a dozen queries.

Til next time
