Unfortunately, like a whole lot of things in life, it really is far too easy to get overwhelmed with all the stuff you may need to learn to become successful marketing online. If you’re not careful you will find yourself jumping from the latest “you beaut” product to the next and eventually find yourself burnt out with information overload and nothing other than a full hard drive of digital products to show for your efforts.

Here are my five online marketing tips for a beginner.

Locate a marketing product or system that interests you and stick with it. Don’t worry most systems will produce some results. Cancel all of your email subscriptions if they distract you through your work as well as worse tempt you into trying something else.

Take your time for you to learn your chosen marketing product or system as it’s going to be a great grounding for your future marketing ventures. Stick with it and don’t go from one system to the next because you are not really a millionaire in 7 days or whatever the system promised within the sales letter. Short of a big lottery online win this rarely happens especially to beginners.

Don’t just read the manual or watch the videos but take action. Stop reading the manual or stop the video and do those steps you read about or watched before you decide to go on to the next phase. OK you website looks ugly or your new eBook has many blank pages but remember you are not going to be a success overnight, so don’t expect to be.

Write down what you do in order that you know what you did when something works in which case you will likely do it again. Your notes can even help work out where you went wrong and the way you can fix it. Not only that your notes are original content so can form the beginnings of a future ebook, articles or video. OK back to reality that dream can wait.

Create value in everything do by adding your ideas and original content. Step back and ask yourself will you read it or buy it. If somebody buys a product they’re going to not like it if it really is just has a new title and shiny new digital cover and they have read it a dozen times before. This may to be acceptable for giveaway products but it creates more value if you have something unique to giveaway also.
