Making money on the Internet is hard enough when starting out without a bunch of people out there just waiting to con money away from beginners or those who push canned programs designed to separate the Beginner from his or her money.
Knowing this, I made up a list of 5 things that Beginners should avoid when getting into Internet Marketing. This list will keep you from making expensive mistakes if you follow the advice given. What many Beginners don’t realize is that you can make money online without having to pay for it. There is free software, blogs, website building software, keyword research tools and affiliate programs, all for free. So before starting, make sure you avoid these 5 pitfalls.
Site Build It is a program that promises you everything you need to be successful online. The problem. You can get everything you need to be successful online for free. Of course, they fail to tell you that. The cost? $300 bucks! There is a lot of better places a Beginner can spend $300 rather than Site Build it, also known as SBI or sitesell.com. This program has been taking Newbies money for a long time. It’s not needed to get started making money online, so pass on it and save your money.
PPC advertising. Yeah, I know people who make a lot of money online with PPC advertising (also known as Pay Per Click advertising). This is where you use programs like Google’s AdWords to place ads on the front page of search results. The problem? It can lose a lot of money real fast if you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s better to wait until you have some disposable money that you won’t miss before starting to play around with PPC.
It’s easy for Newbies to get into a rut reading Make Money Blogs or become a cult like follower of a Blogger because he says he makes a lot of money online and you want to be just like him or her. Heck, they may even post pictures of checks for a lot of money. Remember back in the day the Nike commercials where they told us to be “like Mike” (meaning Michael Jordan). They sold a lot of tennis shoes but I don’t know anyone who became like Mike just because they wore Nike tennis shoes! There are only a handful of Bloggers who really make money from the Internet as Internet Marketers. The folks at The Keyword Academy and The Make Money For Beginners blog by Griz are two that I know of that will show you legitimate ways of making money online and do it for free.
Affiliate marketing ebooks. Most are junk and never really tell you how to make money online. Probably because most people who are writing these ebooks are not making money their self, except for the ebooks they’re selling Noobs.
Software that promises to make you money. All the tools you need to make money on the Internet can be found for free. Keyword research tools like Keyword Elite, Word Tracker and others are pretty good, but I can find just as good information using Google for free. I make my living off of the Internet and there are only a few pieces of software I’ve bought and it isn’t any of the ones listed above!
Sadly, many people live to take advantage of Newbies. Don’t you fall into these money traps. Educate yourself about how real Internet Marketers are making money and learn from them
