My good friend and I were talking the
other day about all of the horrible mistakes
we made when we were just newbies to
internet marketing.

And it dawned on me…

I can save YOU so much time, energy,
and money by sharing this list with you.

So Hans, take my advice and DO NOT
do the following… And if you’re not a newbie
any longer, feel free to share this list with
people in your community who are

Here’s my personal list of the top 10 newbie
mistakes:

—————–

10. SPENDING TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE MONEY:

When you’re new, you want to make sure you
set a marketing and training budget that is
within your financial capabilities. Do not
spend a ton of money on buying leads…
(Big no no!) And also, do not make the
mistake of thinking you can skate by
without investing anything in your own
education.

9. TRYING TO DO IT ALL ALONE:

Get a mentor or a coach… Or find a group
or community online that you can connect
with, mastermind with, and learn from. This
will save you an immense amount of time and
energy from having to figure everything out
on your own. Partner up with people whom
you can learn from and surround yourself
with motivated, positive, and successful
people.

8. SPAMMING THE SOCIAL NETWORKS:

Do not spam… It is literally ‘business suicide’
if you do. Spamming means posting your
biz opp link or website all over other people’s
facebook, myspace, or twitter profiles… And
doing so without providing any content or
value will throw you into a hole so deep, it
will literally take a miracle to get you out.
(No joke!)

7. NOT BEING GENUINE:

People can inherently sense your inner
motivations. If you are only concerned with
your pocketbook and see others online as
only ‘commodities’… You will seriously
repel people rather than attract them.
Make sure you are authentic and genuine
when you network or meet others online,
and instead of thinking about what you
can ‘get’… think about what you can
‘GIVE’.

6. BEING TOO ATTACHED AND NEEDY:

The biggest mistake I see people make when
prospecting is being too overly attached and
needy. Stay detached from the outcome of
whether or not someone joins you or buys
something from you… This means that it’s
great to set goals and intentions, but don’t
be attached to HOW your goals manifest.
Trust that life will provide you the exact
people, challenges, and situations to help
you grow and create success when the
time is right.

5. STAYING STUCK IN THE EMPLOYEE MINDSET:

In order to become a successful entrepreneur,
you have to let go of the conditioned employee
mindset that society has imposed upon us. As
an entrepreneur, you no longer have anyone
telling you what to do, when to do it, or how…
So you have to take responsibility for your
success, set goals, create self-discipline, and
realize that success does not happen overnight.

4. NOT TAKING ENOUGH ACTION:

When are you first getting started in online
marketing, it’s almost like pushing a heavy
boulder up a hill… You have to work hard and
exert a massive amount of energy. If you don’t,
you’ll never gain the momentum to actually
get to the top. But the good news is… Once
you make it to the top, it’s all downhill from
there and your income and success becomes
more and more automated with each passing
day. So make sure you take a MASSIVE amount
of action!

3. UN-TARGETED MARKETING:

If you made golf clubs for example, would
you ever expect to make a ton of sales by
selling to football players? Of course not.
So with online marketing, you’re shooting
yourself in the foot if you don’t target the
‘right’ people for your niche. The more targeted
your marketing, the better conversion rates
you will have, and the more income you will
create.

2. NOT GIVING ENOUGH VALUE:

In the world of business and entrepreneurship,
the person who provides the most real VALUE
will be the one of top, period. I see so many
newbies out there making videos and facebook
messages about their ‘amazing new opportunity’.
(*SIGH*)… When will they ever learn? Value means
sharing content, knowledge, training, inspiration,
or anything else that will actually help better
someone else’s life.

1. NOT MAKING SELF GROWTH A PRIORITY:

This is the #1 biggest mistake you can make as
an entrepreneur… Successful people make self
growth a priority. They actually seek out situations
and experiences that will CHALLENGE them and
help them grow. They do not avoid hardship
or new terrain, they do not put their focus solely
on their bank accts, and they do not see themselves
as failures when things don’t go as expected.

They do not quit after a setback or challenge,
but persevere and stay committed to themselves.
A highly evolved person will not see success
as making a ton of money, but only in how
much they actually GROW in the process…

So there you have it Hans. This is my
personal list of the top 10 biggest mistakes
in online marketing. I hope you took some
value out of this today!

Keep rockin’!
