Here’s the problem as I see it. Internet Newbies have no idea what it takes. They may see the potential, but they have no actual idea of the mechanics of the process. Everything from traffic gen., lead capture, website design, seo, web 2.0, PPC etc.

Once they get involved and realize that they’re not going to get rich overnight (or even in a couple of weeks) they bounce. This the 95% failure rate.

Internet Marketing is not a novelty. Successful internet marketing is very much based on sound business practices and modeling.

The difficulty with it all, is finding a good niche and getting traffic to the site, it seems to be easier said than done. There is such a bewildering area of opportunities that it becomes distracting and discouraging Watzzupsport’s last blog post..New Years Resolutions Give up smoking

Doug, Excellent! Because of the economy there will be many people turning to the internet to earn a living or supplement their income. I agree with you that they should do the research. I have seen many that just keep buying products to show them how to make money online, but never do anything about it. My advise? Pick one specific area and jump in with both feet. Don't wait until you learn everything because that won't happen. Learn as you go. Take action! Have a Happy New Year and make 2009 your year to succeed!

Niche is the way to go. I’ve seen more success in my niche sites than all of my other sites combined. Slow and steady makes all the difference.

I would have to agree Doug, I have worked in all three and Affiliate Marketing is probably the easiest and cheapest ways to start online. When it comes to Niche Marketing if you can find a very sought after niche with little competition, you can make some huge profits. But you definitely need to do your keyword research before starting this type of marketing. Not that you don't need to do it for the rest of the types of marketing, but it is even more crucial for niche marketing. Thanks for keeping us informed and up to date Doug!

Great points and working in a niche is probably the best way. Unfortunately, the vast majority will try the most competitive despite advice to the contrary from those of us who have been through it. Wishing you and Teri the best for the New Year and keep up the great content. Mike Paetzold’s last blog post..Free gifts for you
