6 Biggest Internet Marketing Myths
Every day thousands of people go online to make money but most
of them fail miserably because they either truly believe one of
the 6 Internet Marketing Myths or or all of them. You can read
them below and discover the grain of salt in all of them.
Myth #1: Internet Marketing is EASY
This is probably the biggest myth of all, and let me tell you
Internet marketing is hard, takes time, effort not mention money
and anyone who suggests otherwise is trying to sell you a bunch
of horse hockey. Granted that it's comparatively easier to brick
and mortar in that there's no inventory to carry, no shipping of
goods no sales staff and virtually no overhead, but a lot of
work is still involved.
Myth #2: ANYONE Can Make Money Online
Folks, this is simply not true. Unless someone gets off their
lazy boy recliner and download/read everything they can about
internet marketing, and put an action plan in motion, they will
never make a dime on the internet. DO NOTHING, MAKE NOTHING.
Myth #3: You Can "GET RICH QUICK" On the Net!
This is the trap that a lot of newbie internet marketers falls
into including myself when I first started, why? because
scammers make it sounds so easy and let me tell you, chasing
"get rich quick scheme" is a WASTE OF TIME!, money and energy.
It just won't happen overnight, instead do some research and
find out what people really want and need then give it to them
especially a sense of reality.
Myth #4: It's FREE to Do Business Online
This is one of my favorite myths because I believed it during my
first year of internet marketing and it just wasn't true then,
it isn't true today. Compared to opening your first coffee shop
or gift shop in downtown Los Angeles, internet business start-up
cost and maintenance cost is pretty low. Once you have your
domain set up, you only pay for internet connection, advertising
and ongoing educations, that's it. You can't expect to make
money selling free stuff and ask others to do the same. Folks!
it takes money to make money.
Myth #5: It's TOO LATE to Start an Internet Business
Most super affiliate marketers would love to hear people say
"It's too late now, too many competitions, I should just pack my
bags and go home, the internet is too complicated, etc...". You
know why? the less people they have to compete with the better
which in turn will make them more money.
The fact is, it's never ever too late to start anything and that
includes internet business. I firmly believe that the internet
is not going anywhere and you should too. Every year the stats
will show you the number of people shopping online are
increasing, their spending dollars are growing and the number of
people going online is increasing also.
Myth #6: The BIG Money Talk is JUST HYPE
As I've told you before, "it takes money to make money?" Well
it's true, although you will be hard pressed to find experienced
internet marketers to tell how much they spend on promoting and
advertising. Sometimes, you have to dig a little deeper to find
the truth in every hype you read. It's a fact that the people
that makes alot of money online also spends alot of money on
advertising, tools, resources and know how to get the job done.
If you are willing to take the necessary action to make 'big
money' happen for you - it will. It takes time. You can
criticize, be skeptical and sure that 'big money' can't happen
for you - and it won't. Sit down and write a financial and a
sound business plan. Local Chamber of Commerce can give all the
info you need to get started.
If you believe that you will succeed you're right, if you
believe that it won't work, you're right also.
To summarize, you have heard people's story how they're making a
fortune on the internet and how easy it is but the reality is
some stories are NOT out of this world or unrealistic but it
just doesn't happen overnight. You just have to apply a bit of
common sense into it, find what you love to do, have a game
plan, stay focus and you my friend might find the right
opportunity to make all your dreams come true.
