Getting Started in Internet Marketing
So you’ve decided you want to start an online business? Perhaps you’re tired of working at a 9 to 5 job, or perhaps you’ve been unemployed for months or years and have given up on finding another cushy job with benefits. Perhaps you’ve got children at home and after taxes, gas bills, and the cost of child-care, you’ve come to the conclusion that you’re not gaining anything, really, by staying in the corporate or off-line workplace.
Or maybe you are still holding onto your day job, and burning the midnight oil, hoping to one day replace your income with your online business. Or maybe you’ve already been doing this for a while and you wanted to see what The Zizish Guide was all about.
Whatever brought you here, I want to welcome you.
This blog is really targeted at the newcomer, as you will find many blogs are. Newcomers are like fresh meat in this industry, providing a constant flow of funds to established gurus, trainers and information providers. There are as many ways to make money in the online world as there are ways to lose money and it’s often difficult to know which path to take, which guru to trust and what strategies to concentrate your time on.
Like most endeavors that attract the multitudes, the majority of people who ‘attempt’ internet marketing and online business will fail. And as with most endeavors again, there will always be a percentage of participants who grasp the requirements necessary, find the right methodologies and manage to become raging successes.
And that’s what we want to discover in this blog. What works, how exactly does it work, and how can you and I get the same results by modeling the success of those who’ve already made money in a specific technique.
That’s why we call this blog, “The Zizish Guide.” We want to guide you through all the crap that’s out there. Hopefully you’ll be able to find one example of a strategy employed by others that fits your personality, interests, and abilities.
The only advice we want to offer straight out is to both dive right in and hold back.
-
Dive right in to learning, using as many free resources as you can find.
Hold back on spending money on the first system that appeals to you.
I know that seems odd for us to say, considering we have banner ads and affiliates that we promote on this site, but we just want you to understand that the average person who attempts internet marketing and then eventually gives up (without making any serious money) usually made the mistake of buying too many systems that promised the moon with great hopes and expectations, only to abandon that strategy in favor of the next shiny bullet when success wasn’t instant.
There are only so many basic strategies and they all can work for you. But nothing that cost $17 is going to make you a millionaire unless you provide the effort. So, we suggest you sign up for our newsletter or RSS feed so you don’t miss any future posts, interviews, product reviews and success case studies. You’ll want to get a general sense of the primary strategies and methods used to make money online, and educate yourself on their basic concepts using free resources (we’ll provide many in our Free Members Only Section – Just Opt-In) and then pick one area to focus on. Once you’ve decided on a method, begin at the beginning, stay focused on your project and let us know when it starts to work out for you. We’d love to write an article about your success someday.

You’re absolutely right. There are a thousand ways to make money online, but trying them all on for size is neither effective nor profitable. Instead, pick one method or mentor and follow it through from beginning to end. Put your blinders on and don’t be distracted by the “next big thing.”
