Internet marketing creates a whole new and exciting platform for young, enthusiastic and daring aspiring internet entrepreneurs. It is an interactive and unlimited virtual space for millions to learn, share and play. There are also golden opportunities for people to make a living working from home using their computers.
And you? Do you want to work from home using your computer too?
There are different reactions from people when they are introduced to the idea of internet marketing, especially if they are new.
Here are some common myths about internet marketing online.
A.
Nah, that’s just a huge exaggeration. Back then, during the dot com bubble burst, people realized that internet marketing was here, but they never knew that it needs time to grow. Greedy investors poured money as long as the company did Internet marketing without discussing business plans. When the euphoria died down, people lost everything, they were so traumatized that until now they still cling to the belief that Internet business is impossible.
Well just look at eBay, Google, Amazon, these internet giants are here today making millions off the internet. They raise millions a year. And you doubt it? The fact that you are reading this internet article proves that the internet is here to change our lives whether you like it or not.
Two.
Online business has no challenge, even I can do it. Some think it’s simple to run an online business, open a website, put up some products and wait for visitors to shop on the website. So why do people have to do all this SEO, keyword analysis, blogging, etc.? It just shows the limit of knowledge they possess when they made that statement. Online businesses on the Internet need time to grow. Just like a tree, you need to water it every day.
Three.
You make money very fast, right? There are people who think that earning thousands a few months without making much effort is possible. If that’s really the truth, we’ll all be millionaires now. You need discipline, commitment, and an unwavering passion for what you do for your online business. The concept is simple, but you will still have to put in the effort. Some experts have pulled it off, earning thousands in a few months, but that usually comes after years of struggling. Only a few managed to crack the code in a few months and began to receive income.
Oven.
Free of charge? I really hope so too. You need to invest some money to get things started. Advertising, website creation, design, expert education, etc. You can’t be flying at first without knowing how to walk. There is a process to go through, you will need to learn from the experts who have done it, and they don’t give you information for free, even if they do, they will keep the essence of their niche to themselves.
Five.
There are so many competitors, how am I going to be successful? Thinking that Internet marketing is already saturated and that there is no more cake to share, this is another common myth. The Internet allows people to create ideas and turn them into reality without having the physical form of it. Who would have thought of selling physical books online? Amazon does it right. Who would have thought of earning money through social networks? I bet you know Facebook. All that is needed is an idea, one that is not yet available on the Internet. Use it to make it your own golden ticket to success.
Six.
I do not have time for that. Some think that they will have to quit their jobs to start their internet marketing career. The truth is that there are so many programs available that allow you to initially start on a part-time basis. You learn during your free time and slowly apply it to your business. When the income starts flowing in, you can begin to consider whether or not to make it a full-time career. You can also choose to earn from both. But personally I think a business is different from a job. A job has limited or no control. A business requires one hundred percent commitment and responsibility. It is gratifying to see your own fruits grow, as well as helping other people grow theirs.
Seven.
I do not know anything about anything. Knowledge is readily available on the Internet, as they always said, ‘Wisdom is the application of knowledge’. Since the Internet is here to promote more interaction between people, why waste it? Yes, it will take some time to learn before you win. With consistency and discipline, working from home using your computer is no longer a fairy tale.
The internet is the ultimate direct response medium right now. People want to get information now, they no longer have to wait for the radio or television program. They can go online. A person wants things fast, he wants them instantly. The Internet is the best medium ever created for another group, called Internet Service Providers, Sellers, or Marketers. Where are you? Are you the person seeking the information or the person providing it?
