If you've been intimately wrapped around the Internet marketing game for more than a few months, it's easy to see that marketing on the Internet is not rocket science. In fact, when a consistent marketing effort is applied, your Internet profits can literally be calculated down to a few dollars each week. All a person needs is a little internet marketing training.
Although it's true there's is a learning curve, once your foundation of knowledge is built it's all about finding new ways to unfold your marketing system with less time, effort and expense. But the vast majority of beginner and novice Internet marketers tend to think the "golden short cut" can be found with automation tools and other highly advanced software.
When an Internet marketing "newbie" get his or her hands on a powerful automation program without proper training, it's like letting a wild bull loose in glass ornament shop... and just like the TARP program we are all paying the price for the damage caused by their lack of knowledge. Take Craigslist's latest requirement for phone verified accounts for example. This was clearly the result of abuse.
Although we should whole-heartily believe in automating our Internet profits as much as possible, it's important to believe there is a certain level of experience one must attain before using these products. When proper knowledge is attained one can discover when to change their IP address, clear their cookies and bite off "small chunks" of information and data instead of ransacking the hen house with a shot gun (if you don't understand this, you are not ready to automate your business yet).
A good strategy for long term Internet marketing success is to learn and implement the basics until you feel comfortable with what you are doing. This is an industry where even the best Internet marketers are still learning every day... and when they struggle, they are not afraid to return to the basics and strengthen their foundation once again.
Although there are a lot of good programs and membership sites that offer great Internet marketing training, always remember that nothing takes the place of good old fashioned experience. Take what you learn and make it a point to implement your new found knowledge each and every day.
Are you interested in creating a business within any niche or interest that you may have? It all starts with a website, a foundation, proper training, and community to support your every step.
