Internet Marketing - Fear of Failure Or Fear of Success?

So, you want to try your hand at Internet Marketing,

  1. But, you don't have any experience.
  2. But, you don't know where to start.
  3. But, you don't have a product to sell.
  4. But, you don't have a web site.

OK, I am going to start kicking your butts.

  1. Of course you don't have any experience. You are new at this. Will you make mistakes? Sure you will. Will they be fatal? No. This is the Internet. It is like a big video game. If you fail, you get to go back and start over. If you do it right the next time it has only cost you a little time and the experience will teach you something.
  2. You don't know where to start. There are literally thousands of people online who are willing to give you advice. Most of them want something in return. What do they want? Most of them want your name and e-mail address. Then, they want your money. The smart ones offer you something free, to gain your confidence and to make you feel obligated to them. Then, they want your money! Go ahead, sign up for their free gifts. They are usually a little shopworn, a little out of date, but you will learn something from them. These people will e-mail you, frequently. You will soon learn who you may want to buy from. I get between 50 and 100 e-mail offers every day. I do this just to spot new products and trends.
  3. You don't know what to sell. Learn about niche marketing. You probably have information in your own head that people will be willing to pay for. There are countless millions of information hungry people online. I just did a GOOGLE search on "how to crochet one handed.". Believe it, or not, 188,000 people were looking for that obscure information, today. If you don't know anything about a subject you can become an expert very quickly by doing A LOT of research, organizing the information and publishing it in a readable manner. Voila! Your very first e-book! Remember - If the teacher is just one day ahead of the brightest pupil, he/she looks like a genius. If you don't want to sell your own product, set up a free ClickBank account and try affiliate marketing. There are literally thousands of products available for you to sell, all paying good commissions.
  4. You don't have a web site. Depending on the niche you choose, you may never need one. Blogging, social networking, freelance writing and many other niches don't require you to have a web site, but in my opinion you won't feel like you really belong without one. Using a free program like Nvu, or Kompozer, you can create a perfectly acceptable, money making web site, without knowing HTML and without spending a cent.

OK, have we kicked all your buts? What's stopping you now? General George Patton is credited with saying, "A good plan, violently executed today, is better than a perfect plan, executed next week". So, when should you start? Right now. Get off your buts and get to work.
