Newbie Internet Marketer - 4 Steps To Staying On Track And Keeping Focus

Here is a simple set of steps that you should make sure you follow when you are starting out. Remember, you can easily get side tracked surfing the net, or even thinking that you need to buy that one more resource that will answer all your questions.

This will help you stay focused and continue to take action.

1. Research. Limit yourself to 2 hours. In that 2 hours, you will find your topic to market. Hit forums and chat rooms to see what people are talking about. Check out news groups. Once you find your market, find an affiliate item that you are going to promote. When you are a newbie internet marketer, it is easy to think you don't have enough information. Get comfortable with moving forward with what you have...as time goes by, you'll get faster and better at what you're doing.
2. Analysis. Limit to 2 hours. You found your product and market. Start looking at other ads and articles to see how people are marketing. Check out the reviews and really get to know your product. You need to be the expert or no one is going to buy it. Once you have a great understanding of the product, start to create your campaign. Write your articles ( at least 2), build your landing page, and create your Pay Per Click ads.
3. Implementation. Limit to 1 hour. You should have all this created from the analysis phase. This is where you submit your articles, set up your ads, and get all your materials live. Make sure you are checking to see that all your links work.
4. Test and tweak. Ongoing. Once you launch your campaign, sit back and watch to see your results. If after a few weeks, you are not getting the results, it is time to tweak. A few questions to think about...Am I targeting the right product to the right people? Is this product any good? Is my ad copy weak? Am I reaching my audience too early in their buy cycle? Newbie internet marketer, don't forget that you want your mindset to be based on the customer needs, not your need for money!

Don't be one of the newbie internet marketers that gets stuck spending hours and hours spinning their wheels and getting nothing done. Create a plan and stick to it. Remember, the winners plan, make goals and then hold themselves accountable. Research, Analyze, Implement, and Test and Tweak.
