In this post I am going to share what I think is one of the biggest reasons why internet marketing beginners/newbies have a hard time starting out and making their first few dollars online.

I remember when I first started out online all of the new shiny tools, tactics, and online marketing ideas being thrown at me, I wanted to jump right in and start doing it and make some money. But this is the exact reason why it can take people so long to start seeing success.

The problem: You have to learn the basics before jumping in.

It doesn’t matter what niche or field you are trying to work in, if you do not understand how the basics work, then it will take you a lot longer to get going. Sure you can buy all the new tools and possibly get something going… but sooner or later it will all catch up and you will have no idea what you are really doing and how it all works together.

I see it happen a lot, when beginner internet marketers hear about a new technique or money making method and they try it out. But they are soon stuck because they are not sure about what each of the pieces of the puzzle do and they can often get very frustrated.

Now some people may say that it’s the product’s fault because it didn’t explain very well about how to use it or set it up. I can understand that this can happen, however what I see is that it’s most always a lack of understanding the basics that cause the problems. I don’t think there can ever be an internet marketing product which covers every single thing there is to learn, simply because of how the internet is constantly changing and every person’s situation is different (different web hosting, different autoresponders, different… etc).

But this is where a basic knowledge of internet marketing can help solve a lot of issues. It’s at this point I would recommend you purchase my new “Introduction To Internet Marketing” ebook which I just released with private label rights… but all of the PLR licenses are sold out, so I can’t do that. However if you want a copy of the ebook for personal use, leave a comment on this post and I will tell you how you can get it.

If you learn the basics of it all, that is where you can really start to boost your online business because you will then be able to see how it all works together and what type of overall strategy you should implement.

*** If all of the above sounds familiar to you, maybe you are currently stuck not knowing where to go next, then you have an amazing opportunity a head of you.

You see, my friend and marketing expert Doug Champigny has re-opened his “Professional Internet Marketing Coaching 4-Week High-Intensity PowerStart Class“  for this coming Monday, May 3rd. In fact, the class starts on Monday but you can get your access pass today.

Over the past few months, Doug has been running this class with some VERY HAPPY students coming out of it. You can watch some of the video testimonials here to see what they have to say, and below is my own video I sent to Doug to thank him for what he’s offering that will help so many internet marketing beginners.

Since 2010 is still only just about a week old, there is still A LOT of time to get your online marketing efforts into full swing to start the year off with a BANG!

I discussed in an earlier blog post about how important it is to learn from people who are taking action and are where you want to be. I just wanted to touch on that again in this post, as I think many people skip past it without realizing just how important a teacher/mentor/coach can be.

One big trap that a lot of beginner marketers fall into is the feeling that they can do and learn everything themselves and still be successful within a few months. For the most part that can not be done, simply because there is so much to learn and so many distractions that will pop up.

I remember when I was starting out online I thought that way too, I wanted to do everything myself, and so I did. Since then I have learned to do just about anything that I could ever need to get done… but has it cost me a lot of time and money in the process? It probably has.

I spent probably days on end in the beginning to learn how to make a web site and figure out all of the hosting issues, but I did eventually get it done. I also learned over the years how to make some cool web graphics, how to use an autoresponder, 100+ ways to drive traffic to my sites, how to build an email list, how to write an ebook, and so many more things which I could never mention them all.

Note: As a beginner there are certain things that you really should learn how to do, but there are also many things which you don’t necessarily need to learn. They might be nice to learn, but it might be worth a lot more to get someone else to do it for you.

What I am getting at is that when you have a good mentor or coach who is helping you along and pointing you towards success, your job as a beginner becomes A LOT easier. If the coach is giving you step-by-step actions to take, you no longer have to worry about what your doing or if it will be successful, because your knowledgeable coach already knows it will be.

All you have to do is follow what they teach!

My good friend and “big dog guru” Doug Champigny is one of those mentors who knows exactly what needs to be done and can tell you how to do it, how to make 2010 your best year yet online.

Doug has set up a 4-week high-intensity PowerStart coaching program where he will walk you through the steps to get your own online business set up and ready to go. If you can follow instructions and want to get an internet business started up, then I strongly recommend this coaching. Don’t worry, this is not one of those thousands of dollars outsourced coaching programs. No, Doug will be there with you every step of the way.
