If you’re new to the world of Internet Marketing (IM), chances are you’ve joined in order to make you’re life financially better. Most likely you’ve been attracted through an information product offered on the internet and will be very excited at the possibility of making sums of money that will be yours and not paid to your employer. This can be hindered by a problem which makes no sense but happens to so many IM’s – The failure to take action. Taking action is the single biggest step you could take that will increase your chance of success in this business. It’s not money, privilege or intellect that separates the average worker from the Donald Trumps or Bill Gates of this world – it’s taking action. Ask any wealthy person what got them there and in one form or another they will all say they did something about their situation – they took action. History is littered with people who had famous ideas first but did nothing only to have someone else take action and be become famous for the idea. New IM’s There is real money to be made in Internet Marketing but it takes action. So many buy into it, take no action and then complain that it’s a rip off get rich quick scheme. Action is everything. Taking no action is like sitting in your car on the drive, not starting the engine and then complaining that it’s useless junk because it won’t drive you to where you want it to be. It needs a spark, it needs the break releasing and it needs some gas and steering to get there. To increase your chances of success it’s important to understand the reasons that will lie behind the lack of action that affect so many new (and experienced) IM’s. The mistakes tend to lie around your expectations of IM and paralysis. Recognise these common mistakes, deal with them and you’ll be on your way. 1) Repeat Product Buying Too often people buying one product after the other, hoping it will be the one and then complaining that it’s no different from the others. Remember that car on the drive? This is like buying a new car because the other one won’t drive itself to its destination. Subconsciously you’re still looking for a get rich quick scheme. If you’ve got a product you have everything you need. 2) Waiting for the right moment The biggest hindrance to your IM career. This tends to go hand in hand with- 3) Convincing yourself you don’t have everything you need Have you heard yourself saying “I don’t have a website/list/ autoresponder. I don’t understand search engine optimisation. These things create a paralysis that stops even the big guns of IM. Success author Jack Canfield likens this to shooting but instead of ready aim fire, it’s ready, aim, aim, aim & not firing. The best response is to do something no matter how imperfect. My first foray was a blog site because I couldn’t build a website. The first entries were okay but they wandered off the point a bit. But I built it, I pinged the blog and hooked it up to some affiliate products. My second sale was to someone over 8000 miles and I have no idea how he got to it. All because I did something. I’m following Jack Canfield’s advice. Ready, fire, aim, adjust your aim and fire again until you hit it. My addition to that – just start and the momentum will grow from there. 4) Mistaking a slow start for failure Sometimes you first efforts or offering don’t catch on immediately. Remember – fire adjust your aim, fire again. 5) Expert Induced Paralysis Going to the forums such as Warriorforum is a great place for ideas. The topics covered and the rate of new threads is huge. It’s possible however to spend all day on there and decide you need this to be success and never actually get to any action. To counter this, remember you’re looking at the posts of many seasoned IM’s who are refining their operation – but they are taking action. Set aside a specific amount of time to be on there and only look at topics directly related to what you need right now! When your time is up, get out and get building your income stream. Only go deeper as you need to. 6) Opportunity Overload Once your mind starts to recognise opportunity you will start to see money everywhere. You will kick yourself for all those years wasted putting money in your employers pocket. This is why IM is such a lucrative business if you get your product and marketing right. Sometimes however you’ll have so many opportunities in front of you it will be like being a rabbit in a cars headlights. Respond to this by getting an ideas book and writing them down. That way you can come back to them when you have time to evaluate are they really as good as they first seemed. Add to this by creating a framework where you set aside time to promote your existing stream and a separate time to plan your next opportunity. 7) No Goal Successful entrepreneurs are very goal oriented. They know having something specific to aim for improves their chances of success. Not having a goal causes IM’s to drift which in turn becomes in action. Set a specific goal (give it a money value if you want) and set a realistic timeline to achieve it. That’s your main goal. Then chunk it down into mini goals. Your mini goals can even be the things to get done that day. Tick them off. You’ll soon look back and see how far you’ve come. Action is everything when pursuing success. You’re on a path to escape the world of people who complain that life hasn’t been laid out on a plate for them. Don’t fall by the wayside so early on when all that is in your way is recognising what’s wrong and pushing yourself to do something. Do something and reap the rewards. It will be a lot of fun counting your earnings. Andrew Leatherland is the owner of Ordinary Joe, an educational company.
