Internet Marketing is easy right?

So we’re told by every Tom, Dick and Harry out there on the internet that is trying to sell us something..

Especially when they are the ones saying they will give you all the secrets to the universe if you just buy their course.. or download their free report.

The report is useless unless you what they are selling in the report.

Clever marketing I must admit. As a marketer I know it works. (the report thingy)

However if you have been “learning” internet marketing on your own for any amount of time you know that most of the courses that you buy are useless and someone could probably figure it out with a couple Google searches.

What’s worse is that in some areas of the internet things change so quickly. This is especially true with attempting to rank your sites in the search engines.

Don’t even get me started on that… I digress

The reality is that people tell you that because it increases their conversion rate.

That’s a technical sales term by the way.

It means they make more sales when they promise that things are “dead simple” and they have a “step by step” blueprint that is foolproof.

Honestly? That’s not reality.

People are different, they are not robots.

Everybody learns differently, people react differently to directions.

And people get frustrated when at first they don’t succeed.

Many quit.

I am not here to tell you it will be easy.

It’s not.

However, its worth it.

It takes time, it takes not giving up when you can’t figure something out.

It means you may have to learn a little bit of Technical stuff along the way. No programming or coding though… not to worry.

I’ve been an internet marketer for just over 3 years and I Do SEO as a primary mode of traffic generation and I don’t even know how to code a page to save my life. You just pick up a lot of things along the way that you need to know and that’s it.

But I warn you, the only way that you really learn something is to DO IT. Not by watching the tutorials over and again. You have to learn something and then implement it right away. Not tomorrow, not next week… immediately.

If you don’t then you have to go back and watch something again oftentimes.

The Biggest Challenge Internet Marketers Face

Analysis Paralysis. 

By the time you really get into learning, you have opted into an average of 10 different offers for free information and probably bought 2 or 3 courses.

This means you will be getting 10-15 emails a day from marketers. They will be attempting to distract you to read their blog posts but mostly send you to another sales page to sell you something else.

Everyday – All Day.

I know people that literally spend all of their free time opening emails and watching sales videos because they are afraid they they might “miss something”.

What a crock of shit!

Marketers are always promising “exclusive” content and always telling you to not miss out on this one-time blah blah webinar or product.

I’ve got news for you.

If it was so good then they wouldn’t sell it only “one time”.  They would be selling it all the time. (and in fact they do… yes.. lots of internet marketers LIE)

The important thing to to take away from this blog post today is to NOT LET DISTRACTIONS AND EMAILS KEEP YOU IN A CONSTANT STATE OF BUYING THE NEXT BIG PRODUCT.

If you do, then you will never really take the time to actually learn and implement what you started to learn in the first place. You learn by doing. Not by watching tutorials.

Stay focused, finish one thing then start the next project.

One accomplishment builds upon another.

Start building accomplishments.

Not a collection of training programs.

That’s the nugget for the day.

Be The Change,
