The main thing I hear from most people just starting out online is that they are overwhelmed. Yes -- you will see TONS of ezines, membership sites, product packages, product launches, forums, blogs, and anything to do with internet marketing. It's a fact -- there's a lot out there!
The main thing I hear from most people just starting out online is that they are overwhelmed. Yes -- you will see TONS of ezines, membership sites, product packages, product launches, forums, blogs, and anything to do with internet marketing. It's a fact -- there's a lot out there!So how do you stay focused and organized?
1. KEEP EZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS TO A MINIMUM
Don't signup for every ezine and mailing list you come across.... and if you have already, sift through them and decide which ones are most important to your success.
Trust me -- I used to think I'd miss something if I didn't subscribe to everyone's list. Eventually I realized that I was overloaded with emails all telling me the same thing! Most internet marketers go to the same people when they're ready to launch a product and if you stay subscribed to a quality ezine, you'll always be in the loop.
2. DON'T JOIN EVERY FORUM YOU COME ACROSS
Forums are VERY valuable and in my opinion, can mean all the difference in how fast you succeed. Name branding and business relationships are built everyday in quality marketing forums. However, you CAN spend TOO MUCH time reading and posting. Joining a few select forums and slotting time out "just for forums" is your best bet.
A few of my favorites...

4. REMEMBER THAT "ADS" ARE GOOD FOR YOU!
When venturing into the internet marketing world, you are going to see lots of ads, marketing, and launches. It always tickles me when someone is trying to "break" into the internet marketing niche yet they get irritated because there are so many ads and launches. You're in the wrong business, buddy!Change your attitude about ads. Use them as free education materials! Even if you're not interested in what the ad is advertising, learn from their ad copy and website. In my opinion, this is an uptapped secret and can directly affect your "marketing attitude" and success.
5. ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE
I have separate folders on my PC for Resale Rights, Private Label Rights, eBooks, etc. I admit, I'm an internet marketing junkie so I HAVE to organize everything. If you come across a good deal, DON'T PASS IT UP! Buy it and organize it for safe-keeping.
6. FINALLY -- RELAX AND TAKE IT SLOW
Success is not going to come overnight... no matter what you might hear. It takes patience, diligence, faith, education (free marketing ezines & forums), and even a little money every now and then. Don't expect huge returns or results without huge efforts!
