Do you jump on anything that’s new and hip on the market?

Especially newbies often make the mistake to jump from one make-money-online opportunity to the next without ever taking the time to do anything properly. But that’s just crazy. It’s already tough enough for someone new to Internet marketing to focus only on the very basics.

Trying to do Video, PodCasting, Audio, Google AdSense, SEO, RSS, this special marketing trick and that cool tool… all at once, just won’t get you anywhere. First you need to build a solid fundament for your online business.

I highly recommend to everyone new to the world of IM to master the basics first before trying any of the "fancier" stuff. Pick a strategy, write your plan… and follow through. That’s gonna be responsible for more than 70% of your long-term success:

* Use a few basic strategies to generate traffic
* Build a targeted, profitable list
* Develop a relationship with your subscriber – this makes your list responsive
* Ask them what they want and give it to them

I know, it’s often difficult to resist all these enticing offers hitting your mailbox every day – but you simply have to put them aside and stay focused on your plan.

Take care
