Ten widespread misunderstands about internet marketing
1. You'll get rich quick. Internet marketing requires a lot of work. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It takes a long time to learn and fail before you succeed. Your success is totally up to you. You will reap what you sow.
2. You will not earn money. Again you will reap what you sow. The key to success is consistency and perseverance. If you are willing to learn and accept failures from time to time, learn from your mistakes, and apply that knowledge, the money will come. Do not give up. There are many people who actually make money this way.
3. Anyone can do this. If you tell yourself that there is nothing in this, you will set yourself up for guaranteed failure. A profession like this requires a lot of discipline and above all a desire to learn. It takes a lot of work and an open mind. You have to be willing to accept new ideas as they arise and take this seriously.
4. Not everyone can do this. This is not true either. As long as you free your mind for skepticism like this, you have made the first move. While it takes time to understand this profession, it is not difficult to understand. Remember that the only person stopping you is you!
5. It is too difficult. Look inside yourself. There is an online business in you. What do you know? What do you like? What do you need that hasn't been created yet? The answers to these questions and questions like these are the beginning for you to have the ability to differentiate yourself from the crowd.
6. It will be easy. It will be easier, but you will have to study a lot. Spend many hours brainstorming. You will spend many hours reading, writing, and learning what works and what doesn't. It will become tedious and difficult to follow. Persevere, your reward is coming.
7. It will only require 2 to 3 hours a day. At some point you will be able to automate most of your efforts. At first, long hours are not unheard of. I have spent many 18 hour days in front of my computer.
8. This is not a real job. Yes of course! You will meet many skeptics. Or worse than that, people who do not reveal skepticism but simply look at you strangely. Trust me, this is a real job. You will be as exhausted from working and researching all day as you would be from 50 pound bags of flour all day. When you are mentally exhausted, you will be physically exhausted. You work hard; don't let people who downplay your efforts get to you.
9. The only good reason to do this is money. That couldn't be further from the truth. There is much to gain; money is a plus of course. Learning will always make you a better person. If you are happy with yourself, everyone else will be. You cannot exceed the hours.
10. It takes years to learn to do business online. Is not true. The best suggestion is to study hard. Read their newsletters and the articles they contain. Listen to those who are already successful. They are already telling you what to do and how to do it. Now you just need to listen and learn.
