Lessons from the Master

It's easy to get confused about internet marketing.

With all those gooey roos circling overhead trying to snap you up in their beak, it's very easy to get dragged down the wrong path.

Here's a few examples of mistakes I see internet marketers making:

1. Failing to build an email list. List building (and then list marketing) is vital if you are serious about internet marketing.

When I say serious, I'm talking about BIG moolah ... a couple of grand a week BIG!

And the sad thing is, it's so easy to build a list ...

In fact, I reveal one of my methods of list building that adds over 200 names a week to my list (800 per month) simply by writing two lines of text per day within the special user guide that all licence holders receive when you take one of my product licences:

2. Using a badly written and designed website to promote a product.

This is a big no no. It isn't easy creating a decent looking website, so if you are not up for the challenge, then get someone to do it for you on elance.com.

3. Promoting a very poor product that nobody wants. I see this time and again. Someone buys a cheap PLR or resell rights product (usually from ebay) does nothing with it like re-branding it etc and simply tries to sell it as it is.

4. Failing to actively market products. I never understand why people enter the internet marketing industry but are then either afraid to market or think that marketing is a waste of money .... As if orders will simply float on over to them.

I email my many lists everyday, I mail (via Royal Mail) out 5,000 letters per week and advertise in over 40 different local newspapers to drive hundreds of leads to my sites.

In fact, within the special user guide:

I'll show licence holders how you too can advertise in many local newspapers and drive a steady flow of traffic to your website.

5. Waste time on Facebook, Twitter or forums. WHY?

Why would you waste 2 hours+ of your life looking a pictures of someone who's dressed their cat up in a hoodie, or reading about some whining whinger going off on one about being scammed cos they spent $17 and expected to become a billionaire overnight while sitting in front of their computer in their PJ's.

Just stop it.

Spend your time actively working on your business, setting up marketing campaigns, creating or acquiring new products and actually doing something ... like making money.

I know it's hard to get started in this industry ... heck I struggled myself for 6 months ... but what I did learn was that if you stand still there are plenty of others who'll race ahead of you, grab all the customers and retire off into the sunshine while you are still scratching your head considering whether to spend £50 on a press ad.

So, DON'T make any of the above mistakes, keep positive, ignore the doubts and who knows ...

This time next year, you could be a millionaire.
