Do you jump on anything that’s new and hip on the market?

Especially newbies often make the mistake to jump from one make-money-online opportunity to the next without ever taking the time to do anything properly. But that’s just crazy. It’s already tough enough for someone new to Internet marketing to focus only on the very basics.

Trying to do Video, PodCasting, Audio, Google AdSense, SEO, RSS, this special marketing trick and that cool tool… all at once, just won’t get you anywhere. First you need to build a solid fundament for your online business.

I highly recommend to everyone new to the world of IM to master the basics first before trying any of the "fancier" stuff. Pick a strategy, write your plan… and follow through. That’s gonna be responsible for more than 70% of your long-term success:

* Use a few basic strategies to generate traffic
* Build a targeted, profitable list
* Develop a relationship with your subscriber – this makes your list responsive
* Ask them what they want and give it to them

I know, it’s often difficult to resist all these enticing offers hitting your mailbox every day – but you simply have to put them aside and stay focused on your plan.

Take care.

Robert

I agree with you Robert. I think almost everyone does fall into this trap. The successful ones are the people that start focusing and taking action.

Its funny, becuase the people that usually start taking action are the ones that get so frustrated and fed up that they have no choice but to start doing something.

Thats how I was. Sounds like thats how Kieth Wellman was also.

I had this problem for a long time and didn't realize. Now I carry a journal with me to write down any ideas, cool product concepts or business models I see.

Then once I determine pass or fail of my current project I move onto the next.

For me, one project at a time works. It may be slow but I'm getting things done.
