Many people get started with Internet Marketing and soon find that there is a whole World of “must have” programs in order to make money online. What many Beginners fail to realize is that everything you need to make money online can be found for free on the Internet. But the Internet is full of people trying to get Newbies money and many are taken advantage of. Let the Buyer beware when getting into Internet Marketing!
Knowing this, I made up a list of 5 things that Beginners should avoid when getting into Internet Marketing. This list will keep you from making expensive mistakes if you follow the advice given. What many Beginners don’t realize is that you can make money online without having to pay for it. There is free software, blogs, website building software, keyword research tools and affiliate programs, all for free. So before starting, make sure you avoid these 5 pitfalls.
SiteSell.com, aka Site Build It. I won’t go as far as saying Site Build It is a scam, but many people believe it is. Site Build It is supposedly a “one stop shop” for Beginners. What they don’t tell you is that you can get everything they’re offering for free off the Internet. I’ve also looked at the so called Site Build It reviews on Google and I have yet to see a real one. The ones on the first two pages were fake reviews. It cost $300 per year. You could do a lot better things starting out with $300 than buying into Sitesell.com or Site Build It.
Pay Per Click Advertising. Sure. You can make a lot of money in a short amount of time with Pay Per Click, aka PPC, but you can loose everything in a blink of an eye if you don’t know what you’re doing. PPC is really for those who have an anal personality. It requires constant attention and lots of knowledge to be successful. The people who I know that do well are always running test to see which ad is effective and they spend loads of money. They’ll be the first to tell you don’t get into it unless your willing to lose a lot of money…kinda like the Stock Market! Once you’ve got some extra money to blow, then go ahead and play with it. But just be prepared to kiss that money goodbye.
MMO blogs. Or better known as Make Money Online blogs. The problem is that most people writing these blogs don’t know how to make money online either. They just recycle stuff already on the Internet and fill their pages full of affiliate links hoping Newbies will click on it. Bloggers like John Chow do a good job of convincing Noobs they need the crap they peddle in order to make money online. Instead, two bloggers you could follow and learn for free are Courtney Tuttle and Griz at Make Money Online For Beginners.
Affiliate marketing ebooks. Most are junk and never really tell you how to make money online. Probably because most people who are writing these ebooks are not making money their self, except for the ebooks they’re selling Noobs.
Software that promises to make you money. All the tools you need to make money on the Internet can be found for free. Keyword research tools like Keyword Elite, Word Tracker and others are pretty good, but I can find just as good information using Google for free. I make my living off of the Internet and there are only a few pieces of software I’ve bought and it isn’t any of the ones listed above!
You can be the Newbie that continues to feed the Internet machine or the one who ignores all the hype and learn the real way about making money online. Just follow the above advice and you’ll be on your way in no time. It doesn’t take a lot of money to get started and most of what is being sold online today is nothing more than a tool to get the Noobs money.
