The Next Best Thing" Won't Solve Your Internet Marketing Woes

By: SuccessvilleNews.com

At some point in your business building process, you have to QUIT BUYING EVERYTHING. True, you will always be looking for ways to improve your business and your bottom line, but buying everything you see is not the way to build a business. It won't solve your problem of not making money on the Internet.

There are two main reasons why 95% of the people who start an Internet business fail to make any money at all. The first is that they don't actually work at it. If you really want this to be true, you can convince yourself that there are ways to get into a business for less than $10, do absolutely nothing, and make over $10k the first month. All you have to do is start searching for opportunities, and the promises of easy, fast, riches will soon fill your screen. For those who think this way, I have no real solution. Time and money will eventually teach you that it doesn't work this way. Until you learn that lesson, you will almost certainly fail.

The second reason why people fail to make any money, and the subject of this article, is that they get onto the slippery slope of thinking that somewhere out there is the magic bullet, the single product or company that will put it all together and start the dough rolling in. The problem with this is that it takes your attention and efforts off actually building your business, and puts it toward something else. In an experiment to see where this could lead, I played a hypothetical game. I decided that I had joined "TheGreatOpportunity," and was going to make it work. This opportunity promised "22 streams of income," and offered a start up of zero cost. Sounds good, right?

Wait a minute. The 22 streams of income are affiliate programs of one kind or another. You make money with each of them by referring others into the company. Each one was actually a business of its own, requiring its own kinds of efforts. However, in order to make any money with any of them, I would have to pay something. Not a single one offered to pay me if I personally didn't bring in some cash. I could have spent around $350 to $400 just getting myself signed up to make some money. So much for free.

I then went to another opportunity. There all I had to do was sign up, and I got my own free replicated website ("just like this one!"). All I would need to do is get a few thousand people to visit it. No problem. Just get people to visit my site. How do I do that?

So, that left me where so many new Internet marketers find themselves. Free doesn't mean free, and finding visitors isn't as easy as it sounds. Maybe I just need some tools-- software, autoresponders, ebooks, anything. Just help me get some visitors to my site. It seems hundreds of people have "The Secret They Don't Want You To Know," or "The Shocking Truth About Something." In thirty minutes, I read most of eight sales pages, each promising me the moon for the Incredible Price That Won't Last Long. I could have spent $790 to have all my problems solved. I already had purchased one of the products a year or so ago, and I went to it to check out the numbers. I had paid $176 for it, and inside the materials, there were "recommendations" for at least four other programs I should get to make it all work as it was designed to work.

Has this happened to you? You start a new business with great intentions, but when the money doesn't start coming as fast as you had hoped, you start spending your money on another tool, which turns out to be another business in itself. Soon, you are spending all of your time in activities that don't produce revenue. If you had spent as much time working your business as you had spent looking for ways to build it, you would be much farther ahead. Here's my advice: "dance with the one that brung you." Once you start a business, stick to it. Don't get distracted. Spend your time and money trying to build that one business. Working on a single product or a single business will always produce more results than "The Next Great Thing.
