Internet Marketing for Newbies

Well, that’s a good question.

And the answer is . . .

“I’m not going to tell you.”

It has reached the stage where income claims from internet marketers have as much credibility as Bill Clinton lecturing on marital fidelity.

But, if you really want to know, check out this thread

How Much Do You Make Online

What I  do here on Newbie Checklist is to post a series of questions.

These questions are designed to make you think.

Don’t look at them in terms of right or wrong. Consider the rationale behind each question.

WHY is it being asked?

What can you learn about yourself and internet marketing from your answers?

Internet Marketing Is Confusing!!

There are thousands of sites offering the latest Make Money Online system.

Newbie Checklist is not one of them.

This site is purely and simply a magazine full of things you need to know or be aware of if you want to be an internet marketer.

Sure, if you sign up for my free newsletter I’ll recommend products and even try to get you to buy something (hey, I have a wife and baby to support).

And there’s the first question.

How do you feel about me sending you an email with a sales pitch?

If you don’t like the idea then maybe you should give up all thoughts of being an Internet Marketer right now. You will save yourself a lot of heartache and financial pain because maybe you are not suited to this business.

If you want to learn how to sell to others but don’t want them to do the same to you, it’s going to be a problem.

And that’s OK.

Not everybody is cut out to be an entrepreneur.

In fact, they say that 95% of people who want to become full-time internet marketers never make it.  And that number is probably on the low side

The reason I spent two very expensive years chasing my tail was because my thinking was all wrong.

I ranted against the gurus and “the conspiracy”.

I tried different systems but abandoned them when the next big thing came along.

I regularly told my wife “This is the one!!” until she finally just stopped believing me.

And many other mistakes . . .

So, as I said before, today’s question is

How do you feel about me sending you an email with a sales pitch?

There is no right or wrong answer. Just how you feel.

By the way, if you do sign up for my free newsletter, sales pitches will be few and far in between. Most emails will be purely interesting and helpful content.

Keep thinking,

Martin
