Simple 4 steps to full time income from internet marketing (for newbies)



Great post! I'm just getting started with internet marketing after having written content for a few years, so this is very inspiring for me. And I absolutely relate to people telling you it's a scam, treating you like you aren't working a real job, etc. etc.
 
internet marketing is to be treated seriously nowadays though. if a company isn't on the net then theyre the scam i should say.
 
good post, and i would agree that it is a combination of those 4 key steps that lead you to success in INternet marketing. Hit the nail on the head OP
 
It's simple. After you've made a decision you need to understand the more energy you'll put into your goal the faster it will crystallize. And the less energy you'll put in it, the longer it will take to achieve it.

1. Knowledge

After you've made a decision and understood that the only factor is ENERGY you put in your goals you need to start putting energy into gathering knowledge. Knowledge is the ingredient from which ideas are born. It's the fuel for your motivation. It's the MAP that guides your actions.

Consume as much of it as it's possible. Learn about copywriting, learn about PPC marketing, learn about bum marketing, learn about persuasion, learn about SEO, learn about design but above all...... learn from people who already achieved what you want to achieve. Model them and know that it's not long until you'll achieve as much as they did if not even more.

2. Action

Knowledge is important but it's worthless if you don't inject a good amount of action in the success recipe. In general one should dedicate at least 5 hours of work to internet marketing per day. These are called action hours.
What this means is that you don't learn during these 5 hours. Instead all you do is take action based on what you learned up to now. Do your daily dose of SEO, write that couple of articles, post a few blog posts, outsource whatever you can and take even more action after you've finished with all of those.
It could be said this step is the most important of them all. It is the step that is the most problematic for people. You may think you are a procrastinator. You think you are lazy.
But let me tell you, you're only lazy when you haven't made a strong enough decision that's aligned with your real desires.

3. Persistence

Trust me, you will have weeks and sometimes even months of no apparent success. It will feel as if the success formula isn't working. You will start losing motivation and thinking about trying out other ventures. This is good, let yourself discover other possibilites but at the same time understand you've made a decision and you accepted the fact your path won't be easy.

It is true that sometimes things take time. It is often like that in internet marketing. The only thing that really separates people who fail from people who succeed is persistence. Think about it... internet marketing is a whole new endeavour for you. It's not a simple thing and it takes some time to really internalize hundreds of concepts that are thrown at you.
Just trust me on this one and NEVER ever stop trying. Failure is simply not an option for you.

4. Creativity

Now it's time to get creative. You've learned a lot. You've taken a lot of action. You've been persistent.
You aren't new to this internet marketing anymore. This is the time to innovate and use all the knowledge and experience you've gained up to now. Sure, it's not that you shouldn't be creative up to now, but after you've been into internet marketing long enough and if you still haven't seen the results you want you should probably start being more fearless and trying out things which aren't so conventional.
 
Your post means a lot. It is true that people around you just won't take you seriously, even your close ones, which makes the struggle even harder. Persistence, discipline and daily schedule are the keys to success.
 
Great way in inspiring readers. A really remarkable insight. Informative and Inspiring. Marketing Online is a truly scary path for those who wishes to pursue it. It can be taxing and debilitating. There are No certainty and risks are inevitable.
So thank you for your posts it can really give those who are in doubt a boost and a realization. Knowledge, Action, Persistence, and Creativity can really be a recipe for success
 
Excellent article, sometimes the problem that people don't have the guts to give that first step that will lead your way to success and then they complaint that life sucks.

A good post inspiring me! Many newbies paused at the third point. I believe persistence is key point of going to success no matter what you do. And I think in the affiliate marketing field, you can obtain a lot of knowledge in many good forums like WF. so action is also very important.:music07:
