Hello everybody, sorry it took me a while to make a new post. I was confined in the hospital for 3-boring-days. I was suffering from an Acute Gastro-Intritis and my body could not do anything else but sleep and eat. For me, it was a very unproductive 3-days but I had no choice.

Anyway, at least I’m back alive and kicking again, this time I’ll be a little more careful on what to eat.

Today, we will be discussing on a few of the mistakes I made during the start of my ventures as an internet marketer-entrepreneur. Actually, I am writing this article because I want you to learn a very basic principle in business – the Law Of Focus.

Like any newbie, it was not at all pleasant and smooth flowing when I started. I made many mistakes, and have even made the same mistakes again and again until I realized that I had already spent a significant amount of money without earning a single cent. Although through that I was able to realize the application of the law of focus but it still came with a price.

Well here are the mistakes that I made during the start of my internet marketing ventures:

1. I paid for a membership site to take surveys.
I think this is one of the costly mistakes that I did. I actually paid two membership sites that were promising a pool of companies that will pay you (once a member) to take their surveys.

Actually, in my opinion it wasn’t purely a scam. But the problem was that all the surveys were looking for USA residents and mostly in the state of New York and California. So since I am from the Philippines, my investment in that site was really short lived and never realized an ROI.

2. Paid to click sites
I also got confused with this kind of tool to earn money online. The concept is, you go to a site and become a member and usually it’s for free. Once you are a member, you are then given links to click, which leads you to a website that is paying the PTC advertiser. Once the website fully loads, then a few cents will be credited to your account.

Although I believe this not a scam, but it is a waste of time and it robs you of your capacity to be creative in trying to earn money online. Secondly, the money threshold wherein you can withdraw your earnings are designed to be very steep.

3. Getting too much information on many internet gurus
As a person, I like reading many books and theories, so when I started my online business I read all the internet ebooks that I could get. Although I only paid a dollar per ebook, but if I would total it all, it already caused a dent on my wallet.

Friends, My advise to you is this.

If you want to start earning real money online, start by focusing on a single internet marketing strategy. Or better yet start with the basic and free platforms that allows you to earn, like blogging for Google AdSense using blogger.com.

Secondly focus your efforts. Once you’ve decided on which internet marketing strategy you will focus, pursue it until you reach your desired output. When I say output, it doesn’t have to be money but at least it can rank top 5 on that specific niche on major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Now I hope you’ve learned from the mistakes that I committed when I started in internet marketing. Please share your comments and suggestion below.

Dedicated to your success,

There are many ways of using internet marketing to help you gain visibility for the home internet business you have started. Whether you have been in business for years and recently made a site or have went through a life style change or career change and just started your business, there are many ways to help get more customers through the internet.

Many people look to create wealth from home, but up to 64% are unsuccessful because they do not take the proper steps to recruit sales. Using the internet as a means of advertising your business is the least expensive and offers more options than radio, television or paper printed products. With the previously mentioned ads, you simply target those in your general area or city. Using the internet, you are able to recruit more customers and can afford the life you want for your family. Granted you get to spend more time with your family, and take care of important aspects of life. But being able to provide for your family allows for the extra time and having your own business allows for you to make your own schedule and therefore make your own earnings cap.

Internet marketing can be done for free through many services. There are multiple banner exchange programs available for different types of businesses. The key to being successful with banner exchanges is to find a site or multiple sites that offer services that your customers may be interested in that are successful. Average click through rates are fairly low for new businesses, so it pays to pair up with sites that offer your site the chance to be seen by more people. The higher number of visitors a site has the more chances your site has of being seen.

Paying for advertising is another option you have for your site. Paying for visitors is popular through many companies, and allows visitors to see your ads on the side of pages and search engine results. This gives you more visibility and you only pay for those visitors you actually get through specific paid programs.

If you’re a little skeptical about whether or not it’s possible to really make money online free, you’re not alone. While there are many legitimate programs online that you can make money with, there are just as many scams as well.

So your skepticism is well founded and acknowledged. Despite the scams that are lurking on the internet, it really is possible to make money online free but…

There is a catch.

You know the old saying: “There is no such thing as a free ride”. Well that’s true especially when it comes to making money on the internet. While there are a host of free tools and programs that you can use to start earning income from the comfort of your home with your laptop it will take a special ingredient to see results.

That special ingredient is… WORK.

Whatever you choose not to pay for you will have to do manually. This includes learning exactly how to use all the free tools to maximize your effectiveness when it comes to selling your own products or promoting other people’s products for a commission.

You will have to learn how to do keyword research and put the necessary time into finding the right words that will bring in the cash.

You will have to learn how to structure the content on your website so that it will attract the right kind of visitor that would be willing to pay for more information.

Then there is the issue of getting traffic to your website. You can do this for free as well and while there are plenty of methods that can literally jam your website with visitors, it will take…

Time.

It’s important to recognize that while you can make money online free, what you don’t pay for will cost you in terms of time and implementation. The question you have to ask yourself before you get started is: “How much is your time worth to you?”

Internet marketers and others think they’re selling products of some kind. Not true. The product is only the format or means by which you sell other things. Remember that emotions are the strongest motivators of customers.

1 – Hope. Mostly you’re selling hope. Think of all those promises on sales pages. Only secondarily are they about the product. The writer wants the visitor to hope that the promises are true, such as increased traffic to their website. They wouldn’t read one word more if that weren’t the case. What would be the point? They want more traffic and they want to turn their hope into a fact, by using the product.

2 – Experience. You’re also selling an experience. You’re claiming your product is unique or original and can’t be found anywhere else. If they want that experience of increased traffic then they have to buy your, and only your, product. However, you could be selling a membership subscription or an online service. You describe the experience of being a member of these, probably in terms of the ease and effectiveness for their business.

3 – Attitudes. You’re selling a way of life. Here, you might say, is a new start for your business or a new way of understanding and viewing online business. This new way of life could be yours, you might say. If they have traffic flowing automatically to their website, then they can spend time differently, doing other things. No doubt you’d be able to list some of these, maybe in glamorous terms.

4 – You’re selling ideas. You’re doing this together with emotions. You’re offering a new and exciting way of conducting business. This new idea will change forever how you do business on the web. In other words, you’re making the idea sound irresistible, and through that, the product, too.

Without a doubt, the most important aspect of any online marketing opportunity is the mentor-ship program that the opportunity, or an individual within that opportunity, offers to the new online marketer. Many programs have an extensive array of educational video and audio tools that demonstrates the many ways to succeed online, but often lacks the personal touch that is required to help the new student fully grasp an understanding of that material.

While an online business opportunity’s educational program may supply the dots, it is the personal one-on-one support that connects those dots. It is that level of understanding that will help the new internet marketer achieve a level of success early on in his or her online career. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a mentor looking over your shoulder is price-less.

If you are looking for an opportunity build a successful online marketing business, you owe it to yourself to do your due diligence and fully investigate as many online programs as you can, specifically looking for those programs that offer some kind of personal, hands-on support. If the company or individual that you are looking at does not offer you their personal telephone number or email, you might want to keep looking until you find one that does.

There are many online marketing opportunities that offer comprehensive training as a benefit of membership. The cost of membership ranges from less than $100 to well over $5,000. But there are many in the a more affordable range less than $2,500. Almost all membership programs have an additional monthly membership fee that allows regular access to the training & tools that are available to the member. Free access to a coach or mentor should be part of the program. If not, you should look for another program.

There are many online marketing opportunities that offer comprehensive training as a benefit of membership.
