Internet Marketing has really came a long way over the years. The price tag of these products have reached levels that made it necessary to include payment schedules so a larger percentage can make the purchase. Over priced? I love internet marketing and I subscribe to the old business adage that it’s worth every penny that you can get for it. Did I buy any of them? Not in a long while. That includes Traffic Fusion. It seems like a great piece of software but I’m not ready to throw fifteen hundred dollars at yet another distraction.

I spent years following the leaders, buying up and re-selling what they said to buy and sell. I joined paid memberships sites, promoted the products as an affiliate and even made money along the way. I didn’t begin to see true success until I realized I needed real direction.

Know Your Direction

If you are not very careful, you will find yourself being jerked around from every direction without any success from your efforts. You need to know your direction and you need to know your destination. Put everything down in writing. Set your goals and create a map to follow. Yes, the same advice we have heard for years. You MUST know you niche, know exactly what you want to achieve and have a solid path to get there. If the latest mega launch or JV offer is within your niche and falls within your plan of action then by all means go for it.

Stay Focused

Follow your plan. Your written plan of action is work in progress. Changes are necessary as you build your business but be sure it doesn’t stray off in the wrong direction. The problem with following every successful marketer online is they are following their plan not yours. A mentor is great but jumping on every marketing bandwagon can set you back many weeks and thousands of dollars.

Cut The Cord

Don’t be afraid to eliminate those distractions by cutting the virtual ties to them. Yes, I mean unsubscribe. This week alone I have unsubscribed to at least a dozen of well know marketers. I’m not going to list them but if I did you would recognize every name if you’ve been in this for a while. I didn’t unsubscribe because I dislike them or I because I think they are doing something wrong. I simply unsubscribe when it becomes a distraction to my main objective. I admire most of those marketers but that’s not the right reason to buy a product, join a list or follow everything they do. If they are on the same path then you would be crazy not to follow if they’re ahead of the game – and you.
