As I experience more and more of the internet marketing world, focusing on one thing to master is proving to be difficult. But is this actually the problem?
When I started on this journey I subscribed to the idea that I would be building a business, I wasn’t taking the opportunist approach to ‘make a million’ overnight. I knew that it would be a titanic task and it would require a lot of work. The investment required in this case is time. However, I wasn’t aware of perhaps how much time. I am constantly bombarded with mails containing information on how to make $4000 in 24 hours, or grow my list by over 10,000 subscribers in one month. All of which sounds great, as this is of course what I am trying to do after all. I am in it for the long haul though, I will make this a success, and it will happen in the very near future.
I have only been exploring this niche market for a few months now, but I now know enough in terms of the technicalities, strategies and mechanisms to put some in place to start building my business from the ground up, I have my mentor, I have watched many videos from the guru’s, I have bought products and courses and most importantly, I have put what I have been learning into practice!
As I mentioned earlier, there are literally hundreds of ways to make money online. The 2 key points I can highlight to anyone that is looking to get into this way of life, or is dabbling with it as a hobby, with a future hope of doing it full time follow;
· Pick one method! – this I can’t emphasise enough because the problem is that there are so many options for you, it is very easy to be distracted by ‘bright shiny objects’ and before you know it you have tried about 5% of 30 different methods and not really succeeded in any of them. Research the various courses and strategies available, pick 1 that you relate to, get yourself a mentor and then just focus on that one method, whether that is article marketing, affiliate marketing, ebay, Adsense, your own product, outsourcing and the list goes on.
Don’t fall into the trap of paralysis by analysis, pick a subject and implement the learning from it. This can be watching videos, attending seminars, buying courses, acquiring a mentor, attending classroom tutorials, webinars, tele-seminars and the list goes on. Make sure that you avoid the temptation of spending on various methods of learning and then doing nothing with the information you have received.
