Some people have high hopes of leaving their regular job and starting a home based Internet business. They buy a lot of books promising a substantial income within days or at least a month after implementing the system in the book. Nothing can stop them now. They have several projects up and running soon.
Here are five mistakes that they have or will make. Make sure you don't make the same mistakes.
First Mistake
Rushing into a home-based business program that you know little or nothing about. Many marketers on the Internet want to make money by selling you the perfect home based business. In many cases they haven't even tested the program themselves. They may have bought it from someone else and are just passing it on down the line. Check programs out first through forums or reviews.
Second Mistake
Don't think you can go from zero to a successful Internet business in 30 days or less. I am not saying it is impossible, but most beginning marketers end up with a giant information overload and no money in their pockets. You must plan for a modest income the first 3-5 months or more. Ninety five percent (95%) of internet marketers make less than USD $500 a month.
Let's be realistic here. You have to have some of the key skills needed if you are going to succeed. So produce a list of alternative plans and try to identify the factors and skills that will be needed.
Third Mistake
Don't quit before you get started. Don't stop a program too soon. What you should not think is that something is wrong with the program when the money doesn't start pouring in. Often it is a question of making minor changes, measuring the effects of the changes, and waiting for things to start to happen. You need perseverance.
Fourth Mistake
Don't start cheating the systems when you get desperate for cash and low on self-esteem. There are a lot of communities that exchange clicks for Google AdSense or set up false links to and from their websites. Do they really think they can get away with it? They will end up getting banned from the program or service and excluded from Internet businesses that they find. Again be patient and you will succeed if you really try. There are a lot of scrupulous people out there making money from people like you who have been knocked down in the first round.
Fifth Mistake
Not learning the basic stuff is a big mistake. The basic skills for succeeding with a home-based business is to create content, attract visitors, and then make money from you visitors. You can buy some product and services that help you on the way to success, but you must understand and be able to handle the basic stuff if you want to establish and succeed at your home business and survive.
Starting a home based Internet business is like a tennis match. Be patient, get the ball over the net, play smart, and you will become a champion in home-based Internet marketing.
