Unfortunately, like a great deal of things in life, it is way too easy to get overwhelmed with all of the stuff you need to learn to be successful marketing online. In the event you are not careful you will find yourself jumping from the latest “you beaut” product to the next and ultimately 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 beginners.

Locate a marketing product or system that interests you and stick with it. Don’t worry most systems will produce some results. Cancel all your e-mail subscriptions should they distract you from your work and even worse tempt you into trying another thing.

Take your time to learn your chosen marketing product or system as it’s going to be an excellent grounding for your future marketing ventures. Stick with it and don’t go from one system to the next because you are not a millionaire in 7 days or what ever the system promised within the sales letter. Short of a big lottery 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 go on to the next phase. OK you website looks ugly or your new eBook has plenty of blank pages but remember you are not going to be a success overnight, so do not expect to be.

Write down what you need to do in order that you determine what you did when something works then you can simply do it again. Your notes will also help work out where you went wrong and just how you may fix view it. Furthermore 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 is just has a whole 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 as well.
