There are a lot of people in the Internet Marketing world giving out free information.  However, usually the free information is just a teaser or intro to get you to buy their paid product that guarantees to show you how to make your fortune.  If you do end up buying it, then it is usually hit or miss as to whether the information really helps, but one thing is for sure, you helped increase the other person’s bankroll.

There are two forums that I am an active member of and feel they provide great information and friendly folks.  The first one is where I got started and have been an active member for a while.  It is called affearners and highly recommend it.

The second forum that I am an active member of is a relatively new forum and it is run by a guy that I have come to really appreciate and respect.  His name is Ruck and I am amazed by the information he gives away, along with the sheer volume of the work that he produces.  He never tries to sell you anything of his own, but gives away tons of quality information on how you can make money in this business. 

For an example of a quality post he made about CPA offers, keyword research and landing pages, visit this link. 

I highly recommend that you check out both his blog and forum.

The good guys over at affearners have come up with a long list of “why you will fail at Internet Marketing”.  I think that it makes some great points (there are actually 99 total).  But I want to talk about 2 of them in particular, and you can read the rest for yourself here.

- You promote the wrong product to the wrong people  
- You Give Up too Soon

I have spent the last year of my life learning about Internet Marketing, researching and listening to others that are successful in this business, and trying to become successful myself.  After all that time, I have seen common threads among those that are successful.   

Don’t Try to Sell Ice to Eskimos 

You have to know your market, period.  That means that you have to know what your market wants and then sell it to them.  That is a sure way to be successful in this business.  I have heard many successful marketers say that they ride the waves of the trends.  They figure out what is hot, what people are dying to buy and then sell it to them.  That is not a hard sell.  You don’t need to do a lot of convincing on your landing page, just give them the checkout button and make your commission.

It’s Not How Many Times You Get Knocked Down, It’s How Many Times You Get Back Up That Matters

I love that saying and when it comes to success there is nothing more true than that.  Just because you try something and it doesn’t work, doesn’t mean you tuck your tail between your legs and go home.  No, on the contrary, you get up, dust yourself off, figure out what went wrong and try again.  This time, try not to make the same mistake you made before, but it’s ok to make a different mistake.  Until they perfect brain implants, the best way we learn is by our own mistakes or the mistakes of others.  As long as you never give up, then you will eventually succeed.

Death or Success, there are no other options 

When I look at my life, I only see two potential outcomes.  I either die before I succeed or I succeed before I die.  Either way, I don’t give up until one occurs.

Best Wishes,

Benjamin
