When we looked into internet marketing and its various components one of the hardest things to do was to actually make a start. There is so so so much information out there I can guarantee you that there is not one „newbie“ who hasn’t just become completely overwhelmed.

The harsh truth is most of this information you do not and will not need but unless you formulate a plan and are very ruthless in what you do actually research and read I can bet you will spend all day just reading e-mails and forums. This will not pay the bills.

Your internet business is just as it says a business. You have got to set your goals and tasks for the day ahead. Yes you will need to include some time for personal development and finding out answers to skills you lack but set aside a certain time of the day to do this. Also restrain yourself to only research the information you need for that particular step of your business. Internet marketing is addictive and before you blink you will be skipping from one method etc to another.

You could always try my way of beating research addiction. Develop systems and make sure these include step by step check sheets of what you need to do to reach your goal. You will find if these are written out ( I started off with a simple word document) you will not be so easily led astray by various forums just waiting to snare you in!! You will also get a real sense of satisfaction at the end of the day because you can see exactly what you have achieved.

It is very common for a majority of people to keep on researching and not really make a start on an actual business. Internet marketing or selling products online has got to be one of the worst businesses for information overload. This in turn means that unlike other businesses you will just sit there and do nothing but read. Many people say this is because they are afraid to fail. Well its true there are going to be some projects that don’t work. All internet marketers have had them but they did start. You will learn from those mistakes and your business will grow.
