Affiliate marketing, network marketing, SEO, and direct sales are all exciting and
growing businesses online. Product launches that generate huge income and promise
to reach you to do the same are all over the internet. From Frank Kern, Mike
Dillard, Keith Wellman, Eben Pagan and many more gurus that are out there showing
everyone how to live the good life, there is one serious problem that seems to be
conveniently ignored. Obviously there is opportunity on the internet like never
before. There is an amazing amount of free information if you know who to listen
to. I watched a video earlier today that actually cleared up a question about
links on a website. In 3 minutes I understood how to create much better traffic
and a higher google rank than before. I also finally had proof in front of my eyes
as to how vital this really is. More important than content on a site, which blew
me away. Guess how much it cost me. Zero, zilch, nada. Invaluable and free. I
guarantee that I will be reading and talking more with that particular person. Ok.
back to my point that you must become a master of. My guess is that every person
that reads this will understand exactly what I am talking about. Many of you will
think that you already know this but my question is, do you put it into action?
Vision without action is daydreaming. And although this may be fun sometimes and
you may actually have a creative thought as well, it’s generally a waist of
productive time. So what am I referring to? Having IADD. Internet Attention
Deficit Disorder. IADD is insidious and pernicious at the same time. Once you have
it the first step is to become aware that you fit the criteria. The second step is
to admit it and the third step is to correct it or at least manage the symptoms.
Some of the symptoms include; being on multiple lists for e-mails from auto
responders, reading everything you can on websites and search engine optimization,
learning about affiliate marketing and always looking for another product or
service to launch. Joining network marketing companies and calling yourself an
internet marketer are dead givaways. The worst is always looking to buy from or
learn how to duplicate what the latest guru is doing. PLI possibly. Product
Launchitis. Launch mania at it’s worst.
So what can you do?
FOCUS! Decide what is the most exciting to you. Does it fit your personality type.
Write down a plan of action. Then you can decide to learn about and possibly even
spend money on a worthwhile venture. It’s the same as going to college, you have
to pick a major. Do not be foolish and end up with frustration and being the
master of nothing. You can have a minor but focusing your efforts on your major
discipline can make you wealthy online. It is also more enjoyable and you can
become an expert in an area. I know it’s a challenge for the IADD generation but
the most successful business people have done it this way since the beginning of
time. Same with great athletes as well as artists, etc. If you like product
launches then by all means study Frank Kern or Mike Dillard. If you want to
understand google adwords then read Perry Marshall’s work. If you want to create
relationship marketing campaigns online, then aweber is the place to go. You may
combine these ideas but stay focused in an area. I hope this helps you manage your
challenges and I look forward to your feedback if you can stay focused long enough
to reply.
