Unfortunately, like a great deal of things in life, it’s way too easy to get overwhelmed with all of the stuff you’ll need to learn to become successful marketing online. In the event that you are not careful you shall find yourself jumping from the-latest “you beaut” product to the next and ultimately find yourself burnt out with information overload and nothing other than a full hard drive of digital products to show for your efforts.

Here are my five online marketing tips for a beginner.

Find a marketing product or system that interests you and stick with it. Do not worry most systems will produce some results. Cancel all your email subscriptions whenever they distract you from your work or perhaps worse tempt you into trying something else.

Take your period to learn your chosen marketing product or system as it will be a great grounding for your future marketing ventures. Stick with it and don’t go from one system to the next because you are not much of a millionaire in 7 days or whatever the system promised within the sales letter. Short of a big lottery win this rarely happens especially to beginners.

Do not just read the manual or watch the videos but take action. Stop reading the manual or stop the video and do those steps you read about or watched before you go on to the next step. OK you website looks ugly or your new eBook has lots of blank pages but remember you are not going to be a success overnight, so do not anticipate to be.

Write down what you need to do in order that you determine what you did when something works in which case you can simply do it again. Your notes may also help work out where you went wrong and how you can fix it. Aside from that your notes are original content so can make up the beginnings of a future ebook, articles or video. OK back to reality that dream can wait.

Create value in everything do by adding your ideas and original content. Step back and ask yourself will you read it or buy it. When someone buys a product they will not like it if it is just has a new title and shiny new digital cover and they have read it a dozen times before. This may to be acceptable for giveaway products but it creates more value if you have something unique to giveaway as well.
