Today’s Monday mindset asks the question: could YOU create a whole new life for yourself as an Internet Marketer?
Getting Started as an Internet Marketer
If, like many people, your career hasn’t involved any form of marketing or selling, then getting started in internet marketing could be seen as quite the giant leap.
Going back a (fairly) long time, we were first introduced to internet marketing through emails and adverts. We kept seeing adverts for GoogleAds and had no idea, at the time, what that actually meant. Was Google doing the advertising? Were people placing ads on Google?
Generally, up to that point, we used Google or browsing for information on any subject under the sun. Could it be that it offered us more?
First Steps: Gathering Information
The first GoogleAd we really looked at in detail said that all we needed to do to make money online was to place adverts on Google’s search engine. Then people would buy the products we’d advertised and we would receive generous commissions. Simple, huh? Well, simple it is – until you try to it out as an ‘uneducated marketer’.
Our Early Days as Internet Marketers
Let’s be honest, we lost more money than we made. But you know what? That’s quite normal for beginners. We accepted the fact that the money was gone but promised ourselves we would continue looking for something we could do. Being the curious creatures we were – curious mostly about how to make money online – we decided to investigate further.
Money Making Opportunities that Promise the Earth
Oh, yes, there are many money making opportunities that promise great fortunes for very little effort. We’re sure you’ll have seen many of these yourself. But after a while, we found something that we thought we’d like to try out, to see what happened without (hopefully) losing a fortune.
When venturing into internet marketing for the first time, you’ll find yourself lost in a world of information. There’s just so much to learn and so many ways to learn it.
It takes time to learn what you need to know but at the end of the day, we don’t believe there are any real secrets, just techniques.
Mindset is Your Starting Point as an Internet Marketer
Mindset is definitely important. The are thousands upon thousands of people trying to make money. They’re either making new products themselves or looking for products to help themselves financially. And there are endless programmes, e-books and ideas to help anyone succeed in whatever money making business they are involved in.
We are not promoting anything here, just trying to suggest that if you want to venture into internet marketing, please take your time to read, learn, re-read, and learn again. If you don’t fully understand something, keep asking questions until you either do understand it, or you don’t do it. It’s the only way to protect yourself and your interests.
There are no easy answers for the complete beginner: it’s just a matter of finding what is right for you.
