More Common Mistakes | Article #38 : MARKETING BLUNDERS – PART 8

This next marketing blunder is the one that I think affects more new marketers than any other problem. And the reason for it is that this trap is so easy to fall into, and that's what a lot of seasoned marketers pray on. It's called the "Get Rich Quick Syndrome."

You know what I am talking about. You see some site that says, "I Made $4,732.89 In 2 Weeks and YOU Can Too." And then your eyes light up like somebody stuck a 300 watt bulb up your backside. The dollar signs start flashing in your eyes. You're already counting the millions that you're going to make. It's just a matter of time. You call up your wife or whoever and say, "Hey guess what I just found..." And you go into this long big spiel of how you're going to be rich in less than a year, if even that long. And then you...

Okay, just STOP!

There are no get rich quick schemes that work. Not ONE.

If you don't believe me, take a look at the Internet marketing statistics. Over 95% of all active marketers at any one time are failing. I'm not saying they're not making much money. I'm saying they're not making ANY money. So if all these get rich quick schemes actually worked, why aren't all these people millionaires by now?

Making money on the Internet, as I say on my own web site, is the hardest thing you will EVER do in your life. Think I am kidding? Again, look at the statistics.

Personally, I work 14 hour days. I've been doing this for 4 years and I am still not making a 6 figure a year income. I'm close but I'm not there yet. So what makes people think that they can join some get rich program, push a button and have hundred dollar bills fall from the sky? Trust me, it's not going to happen.

So, the biggest blunder these people make is not so much joining this program, though that doesn't help, but not working the program. They don't bother advertising expect maybe to blast some close to worthless FFA ads. Remember, they only work if you set up your own autoresponder. These people wouldn't know an autoresponder if it got up and sang the Star Spangled Banner for them. Anyway, they don't advertise. They don't try to build a list. They don't put any money into needed tools. They just wait for the money to come pouring in because the company they joined promised them spillover. That's the biggest lie on the Internet. But I'll be covering that in another article at a later date.

Bottom line is this. If you want to be successful on the Internet, please don't commit blunder number 8 or you don't have a shot.
