As you might guess, my next few posts will be such that I point you to my new product, IM Focused. :)   So humor me by reading this article I wrote:

Profile Of A New Internet Marketer… 

So you’re a new internet marketer.  Super!  So… ummm… have you made any money yet?  Have you set up your website or your blog?  Have you added great content to either one?  Are you successfully promoting affiliate products?  Or have you created a product(s) of your own?  Are you becoming known as an expert in your niche?

If you’ve answered yes to some of the above questions, then congratulations! 

If you’ve answered no to all of the questions, then welcome to information overload and analysis paralysis.  This is a common occurrence when you first get online.  There is so much to learn, so much to buy, download and read, and so many different directions to go. 

It’s like you’re lost in the deep forest that is internet marketing and you can’t find your way out because you don’t have one really clear path to follow.   You might find a small trail that looks promising, but soon it splits off into many smaller trails.  You don’t know which way to go and it always seems like the one you pick dwindles off into nothing and you are lost again.  You still haven’t reached your destination.

 

Is this you? 

Somehow you carve out a precious two hours in your day to work on your online stuff.  You start off reading an email which leads you to a sales page for a product they’re promoting.  The sales page is so great it lures you into buying and downloading the product that will finally put you on the path to the BIG money.  You read most of the ebook, watch one of the videos, take some notes, start in on some of the suggestions but hit a snag so you decide to check your email and you see there’s a new giveaway going on.  That leads to registering for the giveaway and double opting in to everything that strikes your fancy and you take mental notes on what the products are called so you can read them some day.  While you’re downloading you decide to check out your favorite marketing forum and become enthralled with a new method you see there.  You stay on the forum longer than you intended because you are learning so much….  Poof.  Your two hours are gone and you haven’t actually accomplished anything.  You have taken no measurable action.

Is this you?

 

It doesn’t have to be that way.

 

Learn how to focus and take action so you can finally start seeing success.    By putting focus and action together, you will learn just how far focused action can take you.  See IM Focused for more info and get started on your path to freedom.

    peggy- well said ! it’s key to remain laser focused on your goals, and avoid the distractions of every new opportunity that you see. Not to say that bloggers shouldn’t keep up to date on new developments, just don’t let it take over your bloglife. re-evaluate your goals periodically and add new tasks then !!!!

    Hi Rob,
    Yes! I agree you do need to keep up to date on new developments, as long as you can reasonably say that your keeping up to date is not another excuse for not taking focused action.

    Have you ever noticed how much easier it is to tune out all the “noise” when you have a clearcut plan for a project and want to get it done? The temptation to stray is not so great; it’s like you have blinders on and can focus on your project. I would say that’s being “in the zone” as an internet marketer.

    Thanks for your comments Rob. :)
