Internet Marketing For Beginners - The Awful Truth

First, we should define "beginners" or "novices" - I don't really want you to find this after you've spent a month researching Internet Marketing, Work from Home, Online Business, or whatever you want to call it. In a month you'll have managed to make quite a few mistakes, wasted a lot of time, and perhaps spent a lot of unnecessary (and previous) money, probably on your already-stretched credit cards.

If that rings bells for you, don't worry too much - we can still help, and the extensive tips and tricks articles which follow can help cut down on information overload, inertia, and even more wasting of time and money.

Our ideal "novice" falls into the "we hope you've reached us soon enough to save yourself the endless hours, money, and misery of discovering the world of Online Business, Working from Home, and Internet Marketing". Why? Because it's overloaded with hype and hysteria, with a countless number of people just trying to squeeze money from you with spectacular promises of instant riches by selling you something you aren't likely to ever figure out how to use.

There are several vital lessons we can teach you to help you bypass all that waste, and provide you with a real strategy for getting your Internet business off the ground the easiest way possible.

And no, that certainly does not mean we have a secret plan to sell you yet another one of those overnight-millionaire schemes that regularly translate to send-you-into-debt disappointments. We'll tell you how to spot the hype, how to sort the good from the bad, and how to do it without the pain that almost everyone starting out in Internet Marketing suffers.

We'll provide you with a set of rules you likely won't see anywhere else, a set of tricks to cut the agony of information overload, and a set of pointers on the ideal, structured strategy for your initial online business research and eventual move to making extra money on the Internet.

How much extra? You won't see us showing you pictures of million-dollar houses and fancy cars (that's the copywriter's trick of *** you in with emotion rather than a sane business proposition). We believe this is all about building a business - just because it's on the net doesn't make it special (although it can make it a lot cheaper and therefore faster). Our plan involves building incrementally, without having to devote your whole life (and all your credit cards) to it, until you're pocketing a regular, decent income. Once you've reached that level, you'll have the knowledge to accelerate to the "fire the boss" stage, and where you go from there is limited only by your imagination and effort.

We'll provide a step-by-step set of rules on what to do and, much more importantly, what NOT to do. Don't fall for the "silver-bullet", overnight success promises and - with a steady and carefully guided approach - you're sure to succeed.

Plenty of those evil sales pages will point out that a huge percentage of Internet Marketers fail. They fail to point out that believing the hype on the sales page is the foundation of that failure.

We're here to tell you different. We're here to tell you the truth. We're here to tell you what works, what doesn't, and which of the Internet Marketers' tactics are designed to line their pockets at your expense while helping push you over the edge to failure.

In instant-summary form, we're telling you:

1.Three Over-riding Rules From the Beginning (Buy NOTHING! Only join free sites (and be very choosy). Ignore upsells and One-Time Offers (OTOs).
2.Understand YOU are the Enemy by allowing yourself to be slammed by email attack and information overload.
3.Set a Research period, with a Deadline.
4.Learn SMART Research, and avoid Information Overload.
5.Mottos to Live By (including "You'll never see this page again" is rarely true, and easily beaten.)
6.Understand The Tricks of the Trade (like violent attacks on your emotions, probably when you are at your most vulnerable).
7.Free Stuff Now! How "Forced Continuity" sucks your credit card dry.
8.Formulating a Plan (why not to act until, after your self-enforced learning period, you decide exactly what you will be doing)
9.Carrying Out the Plan - The "Do Something", "See Something", and "Keep at it" philosophy.
10.What really counts? The List? Content? Quality? Your plan for success!

Our next article here will expand on those 10 "rules", which we will also publish at the Internet Marketing Exposed blog at http://KnowledgeDelta.Com/InternetMarketingExposed/.

After that, we'll take each rule, one-by-one, and expand it into a detailed guide to success.
