Had I Known What I Know Now

Hindsight, we all know only too well, is a splendid
thing. Forinstance, if we had only known that the
ceiling on membership at a popular site was going
to be subscribed so quickly - we would have joined
up the minute we heard about it.

If we had only known that niche marketing was going
to be so wildly popular we would have concentrated on
that instead of MLM.

If we had only known that Google was going to change
its algorithm and the rules of AdWords were going to
change we would have...

Stop.
Stop, stop, stop.

In the world of Internet marketing, you can safely bet
that the only steadfast thing is the rate of change!
There's always news of the latest product dropping into
your email inbox. There's always another promise of
quick and easy money. Google will keep changing its
algorithm, and new search engines are quite likely to
pop up to challenge Google.

What can you do about this' Four main things:

(1) Continue To Educate Yourself.

Understand that those who rise to the top of any
range - whether it's internet marketing or
something else - are good at what they do. This
means that they never cease learning. There
are always new materials, new techniques and
doubtless new 'experts' showing the way.

Most of us learn in three main ways:

(a) from experts who specialize in a certain niche related
to our range;
(b) from others who are following the same path as we are
(c) by trial and error, from our own results.

You will find that the more you immerse yourself in
the world of internet marketing, the more you will be
able to analyze which products, services and opportunities
are right for you.

(2) Focus.

Pick One System And Give It A Fair Go.
Countless people who start out on the internet with
high hopes follow the same pattern. They get excited
about a new product or system. They throw themselves
into it and invest long hours (and potentially quite
a bit of money) in getting it up and running.

It might be e-books sold from mini-sites; it might be
setting up an eBay business; it might be directory-type
sites with text manipulators; it might be AdWords or
content sites optimized for AdSense.

Then one day they get wind of another new system
(doubtless one created by someone who claims
"the gurus are angry with me for giving away
all their secrets..."). Dispirited by the lack of
results with the first "opportunity", they decide
to let it rest for a while and try the new one. Back
they go into the cycle of try-the-new-product,
get-despondent, discard-it-and-try-the-next-thing.

And so it goes on. Months pass. Perhaps years pass.
They struggle to pay the credit card bills
mounting from buying into every new system that
comes along... with very little money coming
in to offset their 'investment'. As they look back,
they start muttering "If I had only known then what
I know now..."

If you can recognize yourself in this scenario, the
good news is this: Now you DO know better.
You don't know what the next new product will
be that's going to set the internet world abuzz, but
you do know enough to identify a system that's right
for you and stick to it.

(3) Take The Time to Plan.

Give yourself from two to four weeks to regroup. Go
through all the products you have on your shelves or
on your computer.

Make a list. Decide which products you now know
(so wise with hindsight!) to be worth keeping.
Then analyze the 'keepers' and pick on the best
system for YOU to use at this time. (This will
depend upon your level of knowledge and which one you
would enjoy most. Work with your strengths.)

Taking this all into consideration, devise a game plan.
You are going to focus on this ONE method and devise a
practical time-line to achieve results.

Don't be in a rush. Make sure you give yourself enough time
to see it'take hold' so the money starts flowing in. That
will give you the stimulus to continue.

Clear the decks, physically as well as mentally. Put all
the products that don't fit in with your plan in boxes
or on disk for safekeeping. You may return to them one day,
but if you've selected the system that's right for you,
you probably won't.

4. Don't Get Distracted by New Products.

Resolve to buy ONLY products or services that will save
you time or money in implementing the system you have
selected.

Never buy anything on impulse. Print out the sales letter,
read it through, then put it aside. Read it through again
the next day. Does it still seem so appealing' Check out a
few forums to listen to the buzz. If a product doesn't
deliver, you'll soon hear about it. If it is exceptional
value, you'll hear about that, too.

Some questions to ask: "Will this help me to streamline
the business I have chosen' Is it worth the money' Will
it make a significant difference'" And above all,
"Do I need this, or is it just another distraction'"

Resolve to make this the year you will succeed. No
more pocket change. No more "If I had only known..."

You DO know.

So make it work.
