3 Steps to Internet Marketing Profits

So you want to start an online business? Or maybe you've started on but you just can't seem to make any money. I completely understand that. I felt the same way when I got started

Here are three things you can do (or not do) that will help you get focused and on your way to making an online income.

Step 1) Stop jumping around from internet marketing opportunity to the next one, and stop jumping from one technique to the next before you've given something a chance to work.

This lack of focus is one of the biggest self-made obstacles there is to making money online. Almost everyone gets caugh in this vicious cycle of bouncing around from one money making idea to the next, registering domain names, paying for hosting, buying information product after information product, etc.

Instead, put together an online business marketing plan and stick with it. Do you want to make an income with content sites and Google Adsense? Great! Put a plan together and follow it. Ignore everything that doesn't have to do with making money with Adsense.

Want to create your own information products and sell them? Okay. Then don't by products about making money with Adsense. Got it?

Step 2) Take Action

This complements step one. You probably already have plenty of knowledge and information that you can use to make money online. Now you need to put that knowledge to use by creating a marketing plan and taking action on that plan. In other words, use what you learn.

Most people are so busy bouncing from one thing to the next, they never use the information they already have. Don't let this be you. Stick with purchasing information and tools that you need for your internet marketing plan. Again, you don't need information on making money with Adsense if your plan involves selling on Ebay.

Step 3) Stop Fearing Failure

Failure is a good thing. No, really. Nobody has failed more than the most successful people in the world. You learn by failure. Failure takes you one step closer to success. Most all time home run hitters have also struck out the most times. Every time you fail, you've learned one more way NOT to run your online business. And that brings you one step closer to success.

It's like the sales cliche, every no brings you closer to a yes. And it's true. Embrace failure. Fail fast. Learn from it. Move forward and become a success.

Create your business plan. Take action on your knowledge. Don't fear failure.
