4 Don’ts For New Internet Marketers
Having been an internet marketer for about four years I know the frustration new entrepreneurs can have.
I’m going to tell you about the four things not to do that will save you time and money. You may have fallen trap to some of them already. And, that’s okay if you learned a lesson. It’s better to find out about them before you wander blindly into the traps. You can save yourself $100s, perhaps $1000s of dollars.

#1. Don’t buy a website. You might be thinking it could get you over the pain of learning the technical issues of creating your own site. I’m talking specifically about the “Get Everything You Need To Start Making Money from Your Own Website” offers. Failure rate = 99%. Everybody that buys into it gets the same set of websites and there are duplicates running all over the internet. You’ll need to spend a lot of time customizing it so it stands apart from the herd. If it can be customized. If these sites are such cash sucking machines why isn’t the seller/designer using them?
There are website creation software packages that are very easy to use and you’ll end up with a site that is you and not 10,000 others. XSitePro II is by far the best and easiest to use for standard websites. It also has a lot of built-in features such as SEO, starting templates with graphics. You can get a look at all the features on the XSP II website. If you want a copy of the complete XSP II story in PDF format, leave a comment on this post with your email and I’ll send it to you.
#2. Don’t Over Monetize. If your site looks like the automobile section of the Sunday newspaper you’ll lose you visitors attention and that means you have lost your visitor. That, and Google might look at your site as pay-to-play or a link farm and ban it from the search engine results.
#3. Don’t Ignore The Content. Set the site up for one niche and one niche only. If you sell ebooks and plumbing fixtures get seperate site for each. The exception would be an ebook on plumbing fixtures and how to install or repair them. That ebook could be on both sites. However, no plumbing fixtures on the ebook site and no ebooks about love on the plumbing site.
#4. Set Some Goals. This is not about personal development for changing your life. You can find that on this blog. It’s not really my thing, but what the hell, it might be yours. I’m talking about setting goals based on your motivation to have a marketing website. Do you want to make $50 a month, or $5000? Get a goal and get a plan to reach the goal. Here are some questions to help you get going.
- Do I know what I want to sell and is it popular?
- Do I have a lot to sell or do I have to create my own income stream?
- How engaged in the process am I?
- Do I want to spend 1 hour a week or 1 hour a day or more on this project?
- How much money do I want to spend?
- Do I want to spend $0 a week on this or $100 a week?
- Can I or do I want to take this project further?
- Do I have a natural expansion opportunity or can I create the expansion myself?
