TOP 5 “KILLER” REASONS WHY INTERNET MARKETERS FAIL ONLINE! ( Part 4 of 5 )

To me, the excessive amount of “Knowledge” one has to pick up in the beginning stages, not to mention the subsequent truck load of “Work” that comes with implementing the acquired knowledge is the fourth “Killer” reason why most aspiring internet marketers fail online.

Continual learning is an important and integral part of any internet marketer and the failure to put into practice what you learned often leads to one’s downfall.

“Information Overload” is what is keeping so many internet marketers from achieving their online goals and dreams.

There are so many things to learn and do when you are first starting out in internet marketing and this sheer burst of knowledge & work is already enough to put many newbies dead in their tracks.

Of course you can always outsource everything to web designers and programmers if you happen to have a whole load of cash stashed away somewhere.

But mind you, you don’t learn anything if you don’t get your hands dirty.

Allow me better illustrate by going through some of the processes an internet newbie goes through in the initial stages.

Most of us generally begin by surfing the internet looking for a profitable niche market or program to join.

Sounds easy enough? Unfortunately, this simple task is the most tedious exercise an internet newbie has to go through as it ultimately determines their future success.

Collecting, analyzing & hopefully matching their hobbies or areas of expertise with a profitable niche market requires heaps of time and effort.

Some simply hop from one “Good” opportunity to another “Better” one and never seem to start on any at all. Sound familiar?

Sometimes, in their pursuit of making a fortune online, internet newbies would sign up for every single newsletter, e-books&  report giveaways and e-courses they come across in an attempt to try to get as much information as possible.

Most end up with inboxes jammed packed with so much new information that they have barely enough time to read and comprehend.

Believe it or not, but most internet marketers never managed to completely finish reading any of these info-products, even the ones they fork out hard earned money to buy.

This is because the information contained in these info-products often contain links that lead to even more information on other websites.

And this continual linking of information is a never ending cycle.

Even if the information contained in these info-products are worth its value in gold, most won’t realize it if they don’t read it right?

Furthermore, acquiring information doesn’t equate to attaining knowledge and knowledge doesn’t equate to success if you don’t put what you learned into practice right?

Unfortunately, these “Killer” traits are very common among most internet marketers today and must be rectified if one is to achieve any form of success online.

TOP 5 “KILLER” REASONS WHY INTERNET MARKETERS FAIL ONLINE! ( Part 3 of 5 )

In my humble opinion, the third reason why so many internet marketers fail online is the apparent Lack of “Focus” & “Direction”.

We all know that the internet community is one the most dynamic entities today with thousands of new websites and blogs sprouting up every minute.

Every time you log on the internet, there’s something new, everywhere you surf, you will be will be “Bombarded” with new money making programs that have sprouted up like weeds on grass fields.

And if you are a beginner internet marketer, chances are you will probably be easily distracted by these external influences.

I’ll illustrate by a simple scenario that most internet newbies go through including me when I first started out.

Just imagine that you have decided to start your internet marketing venture after hearing all about the “Hype” stating that internet marketing is the easiest opportunity to become an online “Millionaire”.

Most people begin their internet marketing journey by surfing the internet looking for a “Profitable” business opportunity that can possibly bring them “Instant Riches”.

Perhaps after scourging through the internet, they decided that Opportunity A seems to more viable and should be the best choice for them.

After a bit of “Brainstorming”, they soon run out of ideas on how to continue and return to surfing the internet for more ideas and leads.

While surfing, they “Accidentally” came across another opportunity, let’s call it Opportunity B that seems more “Profitable” or takes up less time and effort with better returns.

Most have the tendency to abandon their original opportunity and choose the newer one without giving it a second thought and this cycle will most probably continue indefinitely because of the apparent lack of focus and direction.

This vicious cycle of looking for a better and easier way to succeed online is one of the most dangerous traits of all beginner internet marketers.

Some internet marketers called this the “Bright Shining Object” Syndrome.

Recall the good old camping trips where you were attracted to those bright shining fireflies glowing in the dark, attracting us towards them, but never seemingly able to catch them no matter how hard we try.

It’s analogous to internet newbies being drawn to bright shining money making programs in the vast internet sea of darkness.

In the beginning stages, the level of commitment towards their new found niche opportunity may not be very high as results are not apparent yet.

 

It is best in my opinion, to get “Mentorship” from established internet marketing Gurus or start a “Mastermind Group” among peers where internet newbies can share ideas and push each along in their pursuit of internet marketing success.

This will greatly reduce the risk of sidetracking where most end up doing a lot of unnecessary stuff that are not useful to their internet marketing agenda.
