Mind Set of an Internet Marketer

If you want to get into the internet marketing game you need to develop a certain mindset, here are a couple of things I see important for you to remember. 

• Making money online is NOT a get rich quick scheme. You don’t just ‘dump money’ into some marketing scheme hoping to get money in return.  

 

• You must invest time into your education. Depending on your aptitude,

you don’t just read an E-book or two and expect to become an Internet

marketing expert. After all, how long does it take for someone to graduate from college with the knowledge they need to go into business?

  

• You must invest time for trial and error. No one gets it ‘right’ on the first

try. You must be prepared for failures and mistakes. Learn from them and make sure you get up and fight again!  Remember Thomas Edison’s famous quote, “I have not failed.  I have just found 10,000 ways that will not work.”

 

Live by that motto.

 

 • You must be prepared to put up with negative people, many of them may be your own family members. There are others in the world out there who do not believe that it is possible to make money online. When you put your plans into action, you will face resistance from your beer-drinking buddies, your family members or even your BOSS! If you don’t have the endurance, you will succumb to the pressure.

 

• You must be prepared to go all the way. An Internet marketing business

is just like any other business in the ‘offline’ world. If you are not prepared to go all the way, you will give up halfway because you have put in a half-hearted attitude into your business.

 

Another great quote from an Anonymous author says, Life’s real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.” Don’t give up just feet from the finish line.

Action Breeds Success

Only Through Action will Anything Happen for You!

That may sound obvious, but many people never get anywhere because they don’t decide to act.

Some will over analyze every problem. They will over think it. Spending way to much time trying to find the RIGHT solution and never actually acting on the problem.

Sometimes the solutions aren’t even that far apart from the problem. They are all similar and that makes it even more difficult. What do you base the decision on?

Don’t FREEZE. Don’t become paralyzed. Inaction will not get you anywhere…

A couple examples…

Recently I was emailed by someone that wanted to know if I might be a good fit to work with their online business. Wonderful woman, great business opportunity but, I was literally paralyzed for a week because I hadn’t expected this offer and I really wasn’t sure what to do about it.

But all I needed to do was check out her company, e-mail her and tell her if I thought I would fit in with their company (she thought I would) and she would be ready to work something out with me. I was instead blown away that someone with such a huge organization would even take a second look at me, a nobody on the internet. I am still sporting some of the freezer burn from this event.

Well I froze. I put off contacting her for a week. I finally came out of my deep freeze and realized that even though her offer was a wonderful opportunity it was not part of my five year plan. It would not help me accomplish what it was I wanted to accomplish personally.

Once I realized this and unthawed my head, I knew exactly what I needed to do. I need to contact this wonderful woman and tell her thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity and for the faith in me, but, I had to follow my own dreams and stick to my own five year plan that I worked out very carefully and knew that it was part of my core and my true desires.

What I wish I had done?

I wish I had looked inside and acted on my true feelings.

Instead I froze and literally got no work done for a week because I kept going back and forth wondering what I should do and how I should talk to this woman. In the back of my mind I always knew what the answer was, but, somehow we as humans always have to analyze things, sometimes to the death.

I see a lot of people doing basically the same thing when they are trying to decide what to do with their business. They read and read, buy new books and video tapes but they never actually get to the heart of the problem, why they aren’t making money on the internet. You can ask questions forever. You should gather enough information to know all your options. But once you do, don’t just look at what you’ve gathered. Pick something and Act!

You have to decide to Just do it! You may fail sometimes. The action may not produce good results… But it will provide results. Even if you just learn from the experience, you sit in a better situation than you were yesterday…

Again, this doesn’t mean don’t analyze anything. You have to know you’re making the right decision. You have to know all your options, but once you do, make the move. Start the ball rolling. Remember to listen to your heart too, it will tell you what you need to do.

Motivation doesn’t come first. You can’t sit and wait to be motivated… Action comes first! Act and the motivation will follow…

So look at your problem, gather enough information to make a choice about the solution, and then Act on it…

Action breeds Success…

Bloggers Unite For World AIDS Day

Nearly half of all AIDS cases in the U.S. involve people 13 to 24 years of age, placing many of Blog members or their children in the highest risk age groups. More than 250,000 are estimated to be HIV positive and not know it. And more than 1 million are estimated to have AIDS.

Of course, AIDS is not limited to the U.S. There are an estimated 33 million people with AIDS worldwide. It affects every country, city, and town in the world. And, the most frightening thing about it is that is going largely unchecked. In fact, that is one of the reason that worldaidscampaign.org is continuing its “leadership” theme, which it developed after learning that many leaders who promised to support AIDS were not keeping their promises.

As always, what you choose to write about is up to you. However, you might consider checking the NIDA and AIDS.gov research and prevention resources on the Bloggers Unite resource page. Or, for a more global view, check out http://www.worldaidscampaign.org

Unlike most campaigns where we hope awareness led to action, this is one campaign where awareness is action! If even just 10 percent of our members get involved, we can reach an estimated 4 million blog readers. And if half of our members participate, we can reach 20 million. And if all bloggers participate, we can reach the entire world. But more importantly than all that. If your post just touches even one person and convinces them to get tested or helps someone learn about AIDS prevention, won’t that will be worth it?

Your words, voices, videos, and actions can all help people become more aware about AIDS and how to prevent it. And by doing that, you might not only save someone, but save someone close to you.
