Top 10 Mistakes Made by Internet Marketers

I’d like to tell you about some of the horrible mistakes I made when

I first started marketing my business on the internet.

1.  SPENDING TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE MONEY:

When you’re new, you want to make sure you
set a marketing and training budget that is
within your financial resources. Do everything

within your power to stay inside your budget.

Allow yourself room in your budget to invest

in your education.
2.  TRYING TO DO IT ALL by yourself:

Get a mentor or a coach… Or find a group
or community online that you can connect
with, mastermind with, and learn from.  This
will save you an immense amount of time and
energy from having to figure everything out
on your own.  Partner up with people whom
you can learn from. Surround yourself
with motivated, positive, and successful
people.

3.  SPAMMING THE SOCIAL NETWORKS:

Do not spam… It is literally ‘business suicide’
if you do.  Spamming means posting your
biz opp link or website all over other people’s
facebook, myspace, or twitter profiles… And
doing so without providing any content or
value will throw you into a hole so deep, it
will literally take a miracle to get you out.

4.  NOT BEING GENUINE:

People can inherently sense your inner
motivations.  If you are only concerned with
your pocketbook and see others online as
only ‘commodities’… You will seriously
repel people rather than attract them.
Make sure you are authentic and genuine
when you network or meet others online.

In network marketing, it is better to

give than to receive.
5.  TOO MUCH TOO SOON:

Beginners often learn so much about Internet

Marketing they become overloaded. Their answer

to this is to start a lot of different projects in different areas.

This spreads the marketer’s efforts

so thin that none of the areas are given adequate

time and thought to be successful. It is vital to

focus your efforts on only a few areas at a time!

6.  STAYING TRAPPED IN THE WORKER-BEE STATE OF MIND:

In order to become a successful entrepreneur,
you have to let go of the conditioned employee
mindset that society has forced upon us.  As
an entrepreneur, you no longer have anyone
telling you what to do, when to do it, or how…
So you have to take accountability for your
achievement, set goals, build self-discipline, and
grasp that success does not happen overnight.

7.  NOT TAKING ENOUGH ACTION:

Unless you work hard and apply an enormous

amount of get-up-and-go, you’ll never achieve

the momentum to truly get to the peak.

But the good news is…

Once you make it to the top, it’s all downhill from
there.
9.  NOT GIVING ANY SUFFICIENT VALUE:

The person who offer’s a large amount genuine VALUE
will be the one of top, period. Value means
sharing content, knowledge, training, inspiration,
or anything else that will actually help better
someone else’s life.

10.  NOT EXPANDING YOUR KNOWLEDGE BASE:

Triumphant entrepreneur’s make self
growth a priority.  They actually seek out situations
and experiences that will CHALLENGE them and
help them grow.  They do not avoid hardship
or new terrain, they do not put their focus solely
on their bank accts, and they do not see themselves
as failures when things don’t go as expected.

They do not quit after a setback or challenge,
but persevere and stay committed to themselves.
A highly evolved person will not see success
as making a ton of money, but only in how
much they actually GROW in the process…

What Can You Expect From A Home-Based Business

Don’t expect to replace your day job’s income for 365 days or so.   The good news about the home based business industry, as long as you are willing to put in the hours to learn the ropes, you can start your business with extremely little money, generally speaking. Remember that some businesses take more to start than others. I’ve probably directly invested less than $100 getting this blog up and running, and now revenue is increasing at about a 125-140% every month after being in business for 14 months.

But if you have a good idea and motivation to work and learn, a home based business can be extremely rewarding and a great joy.

I’d like to personally applaud you on your choice to look for information about starting your own home-based business. You’ve just made the decision that can, and will change your current life, as you know it.

I’d like to talk about a day in the life of a home-based business owner. What can you expect your day to be like? How many hours should you be working each day? What equipment do you need to use every day? Most significantly, how long will it take until you turn a profit?

The day in the life of a home-based business owner can be as flexible as you are, however, it’s important to remember not to get too selfish for personal time. The most vital part of working from home is when you are “on the clock,” be productive.  Try to work as diligently for yourself as you would for a boss in an outside job.

When you have chosen the business you wish to start, allow yourself roughly one month to get fully set up. After that, you should be focusing 90% of your efforts on marketing – and the remaining 10% on record keeping.

If you have been in business 60 or more days, and have not reached the break-even point, it’s time to analyze the way you are running your operation, and make some modification’s at once.

Your aim is to earn money. Remember, owning a home-based business can be demanding, but the benefits far offset the risks.

NEW Network Marketing Techniques

Are you tired of the old school network marketing techniques? You know the 3 foot rule, bugging your family and friends, hanging fliers.

When I first joined my first network marketing company, I was told to use these same techniques. I was told to make a list of 100 people that I knew and basically call every one of them to ask and see if they would be interested in making some money.

I was only faced with nothing but rejection.

When I was officially shunned by everyone that I knew, all my upline told me to do was to go out and buy some opportunity leads.

This only led me to some more rejection and spending a bunch of money, that I didn’t have.

Then just as I was going to give up, I found what I consider to be a miracle for my online business.

This miracle I speak of was Mike Dillard’s 7 Day Free Video Boot Camp.

In these 7 free videos Mike explained how I could attract an endless stream of prospects to me ready to join and actually get paid to prospect.

These videos have really changed the way I do my business. They also changed my life. I think they can help you too.
There is a whole world of other marketers out there who use this very system. The proof is in the pudding.

MLM Questions Answerd

Hey Guys; I just got the following email from a friend of mine I went to High School with. She found me on Facebook and sent me the following message about MLM.

“Clint, I’m thinking of trying to supplement my income. Do you work solely from home? What exactly do you do? I want to know what I need to do to get started & if I need to invest money. I don’t want to fall for one of those schemes.”

This got me to thinking… I bet a lot of people have the same questions and concerns about exactly what it means to work from home. This was my reply…

“I ABSOLUTELY love being able to not only supplement…but actually earn a very nice living working from home. I did a ton of research before I got started because I was so skeptical of the whole “work from home” idea. This is what I found. 1. There is NOT a get rich quick program!! As with any legitimate business, it takes time to build. The most important thing is to build trust with your clients/customers. 2. Educate yourself continuously by studying and learning EVERYTHING you can about your industry. That way you can present yourself as a leader and that will “attract” potential customers to YOU! 3. Diversify! You can have your primary business, which could range from promoting health vitamins and juices to any other thing you wish to sell on the internet. Then, do affiliate marketing which is promoting other peoples products and services and making a percentage of their profits. Also, you make money off of residual Income, which is long term customers paying you a monthly fee for your product or services. Lastly, as with any legitimate business, for instance, if you wanted to open a McDonald’s franchise, there are obvious start-up cost involved. The actual building, equipment, inventory, employees and so on. The thing you must remember is that you are starting a business…and yes, there are cost involved. You will obviously need a web-site, blog, training and any fees or dues. I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact me with any other concerns you may have. Have a blessed day!  Clint”

clint profile pic Wow, what a ride this has been.
