online marketing mistakesWelcome back, hoping you had an amazing Holiday, enjoyed your family and are in the process of re-charging for an awesome 2013!

We had a busy, but fun Holiday with the perfect mix of family, hockey and fun time – while we were able to detach from our business, it’s also true that we love our business and customers so much that coming back is really energizing more than a burden.

So, here we are.

The first post of 2013 is an important one as it profiles a recent example from a recent member of InfoMarketer’sZone (joining us over the Holidays) but applies to many, many, many online entrepreneurs out there.

To be blunt, the vast majority of those who dip their toe into internet marketing or online business end up building “The Internet Marketing Business From Hell!”

Let me walk you through exactly what I mean (only if you swear to NOT follow this same path…)

First, he has spent the last 5-years, an average of 10-hours per week chasing different business opportunities that range from…

– Adsense Make Money Sites
– Ebay Marketing
– 3 Different Multi-Level-Marketing Businesses
– Amazon Affiliate Sites
– Dozens of Auto-Blogs

These are just the ones he told me about…by the way, the math works out to 10’s of thousands of wasted dollars and more than 2500 wasted hours – down the toilet!

I asked him if he was pissed off…he spun it into some diplomatic spittle about it being a learning experience.

A few weeks would be a learning experience, 5-years of wasted time is definitely something to get pissed off at, so that’s where we started.

I got him to admit he has created the Online Marketing Business from Hell.

Then we went through some of the strategies and systems he would immediately put in place to turn things around in a hurry…within days he would start seeing a massive difference.

I was following the exact 6-week Infoprofits Success System inside InfoMarketer’sZone

Here was a quick summary of what he walked away with:

1. A concrete way of finding a hot niche that would serve as the rocket fuel for his online marketing business. He will now be able to quickly identify a niche market and a niche opportunity with built-in demand and that he can enjoy working with

2. A set of methods to test for exact demand AND begin building traffic and profits right away – no more waiting around, he can now get things rolling right away in a way that will let him earn early profits as well as test some early concepts to find the real golden nugget for BIG sales

3. Know exactly how he will monetize the market and opportunity with both front-end and back-end sales all with the same amount of effort but with huge returns

4. Traffic generation methods that start working immediately, cost nothing and will continue to grow over time (and that still work in today’s SEO environment)

5. Knowing exactly how top businesses on the internet do work, how they tap into real demand and how they work leverage into almost every aspect of their business so you avoid creating the Online Business From hell.

Everyone that makes a living marketing their products and services online MUST learn these critical factors one way or another…some figure it out themselves after years of trying while others learn it from those who have mastered it.

If you want to avoid (or get out of) the Online Marketing Business from hell into a highly effective, fun and leveraged online business…I can’t think of a better program to follow than the one inside InfoMarketer’sZone

I don’t believe there is a single, practicing online marketer that shares as much first-hand, valuable content as we do on this blog, our plan is to continue this trend into 2013, but we also want to hear from you…leave us a comment.  If we don’t, we’ll assume you are not reading or not engaged and frankly we can better use our time to help our growing business. Hopefully we’ll hear from you soon.
