Deadly Internet Marketing Pitfall #1:

Information Overload

This is a real problem. When you're starting, you obviously need to learn. You need to educate yourself. So, you start learning… You buy a few ebooks… You start going to forums and learning. You might even pony up a thousand dollars or more for a serious course.

And at first, it's exciting. You feel like, “Wow, this is cool stuff.” But, after a while excitement shifts to frustration. That's a normal reaction when you are overwhelmed. And here's where it gets really nasty – information starts to contradict each other.

Each course promotes itself as the “missing link” or the “missing piece of the puzzle”, yet the truth is it just makes you aware that you're missing other pieces. So your quest continues and you keep getting more courses, which lead to more information overload.

It's not uncommon for a newbie or intermediate marketer to waste YEARS in the“information overload zone”. I personally spent a couple of years spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. One of the secrets to getting out of information overload is to balance the learning with action. In the beginning you should spend 50% of your time learning and 50% of your time taking action.

As you progress, your learning time should drop gradually – and you should take more action. The other solution to information overload is to learn from 1 source in a step-by-step systematic process.

Deadly Internet Marketing Pitfall #2:

The Inability To Know What Works

This is basically an extension of the first pitfall. A very wise man once thought me, “It takes near genius to recognize genius.” In other words, you have to be good to know what's good.

And the problem is when you're starting out how can you know what's good? How can you know what works? The answer is: YOU CAN'T.

And there begins the expensive, painful process of trial and error. Here's how it usually goes… You buy 5 courses and 1 is good. Let's say you spent $2500. So, you wasted $2000 in “bogus information”. But, here's the real “cost”… Let's you spent 25 hours on each course to learn the information. That means you've wasted 100 hours of your time.

That's 100 valuable business building hours that are gone forever. And another issue is, you have a lot of “useless junk” floating around in your brain.And here's the point… Until you get GOOD, your brain can't tell the difference between the “junk” and the “good stuff”. Do you see how this is a vicious cycle that leads to confusion and frustration?

The solution is to hook up with an Internet marketer that you can trust and follow his no B.S. recommendations and advice.
