6
Biggest Internet Marketing Myths
by: Paul Penafiel
In every myth there is an element of truth. Read the
sections below to discover the grain of truth in all
of these Internet marketing myths.
Myth #1: Internet Marketing is EASY
This is probably the biggest myth of all, and let
me tell you Internet marketing takes time, effort
not mention money and anyone who suggests otherwise
is trying to sell you a bunch of horse hockey. Granted
that it's comparatively easier to brick and mortar
in that there's no inventory to carry, no shipping
of goods and virtually no overhead, but a lot of work
is still involved.
Affiliate marketing eliminates the cost of production,
construction and employees.
Myth #2: ANYONE Can Make Money Online
Folks, this is simply not true. Unless someone gets
off that lazy boy recliner and download/read everything
they can about internet marketing, and put an action
plan in motion, they will never make a dime on the
internet. DO NOTHING, MAKE NOTHING.
Myth #3: You Can "GET RICH QUICK" On the
Net!
This is the trap that a lot of newbie internet marketers
falls into, why because scammers make it sounds so
easy and let me tell you, chasing "get rich quick
scheme" is a waste of time, money and energy.
It just won't happen overnight, instead do some research
and find out what people really want and need then
give it to them.
Myth #4: It's FREE to Do Business Online
This is one of my favorite myths because I believed
it during my first year of marketing online and it
just wasn't true then, it isn't true today. Compared
to opening your first coffee shop or gift shop in
downtown Los Angeles, internet business start-up cost
and maintenance cost is pretty low. Once you have
your domain set up, you only pay for internet connection,
advertising and ongoing educations, that's it.
Myth #5: It's TOO LATE to Start an Internet Business
Most super affiliate marketers would love to hear
people say "It's too late now, too many competitions,
I should just pack my bags and go home, the internet
is too complicated, etc...". You know why? the
less people they have to compete with the better which
in turn will make them more money.
The fact is, it's never ever too late to start anything
and that includes internet business. I firmly believe
that the internet is not going anywhere and you should
too. Every year the stats will show you the number
of people shopping online are increasing, their spending
dollars are growing also.
Myth #6: The BIG Money Talk is JUST HYPE
Have you heard of the phrase, "it takes money
to make money?" Well it's true, although you
will be hard pressed to find super affiliate to tell
how much they spend on promoting and advertising.
Sometimes, you have to dig a little deeper to find
the truth in every hype you read.
If you are willing to take the necessary action to
make 'big money' happen for you - it will.
Or criticize, be skeptical and sure that 'big money'
can't happen for you - and it won't. If you believe
that you will succeed you're right, if you believe
that it won't work, you're right also.
To summarize, you have heard people's story how they're
making a fortune on the internet and how easy it is
but the reality is some stories are not out of this
world or unrealistic. You just have to apply a bit
of common sense into it, find what you love to do
and you my friend might find the right opportunity
to make all your dreams come true.
