The Biggest Internet Marketing Mistake Ever. |

It is perhaps the biggest mistake to the newcomer internet
marketer. The tendency to focus on trying to make money from the
big markets online is rampant amongst beginner online
millionaire aspirants. This results in a lot of dismayed
newbies, a lot of frustration and eventually a lot of failure. .
I think it goes without saying but just to clarify: Trying to
generate a profit in these markets when your competition are
EXPERTS at doing what you are still learning how to do is a
recipe for disaster.
What I am about to tell you is by no means new advice but I
never cease to notice the number of IM'ers failing to heed this
advice.
The advice? You have to (if your starting out anyway) focus on a
niche market! You have to concentrate on creating monetized
sites in markets where your pages have a chance to be found by
people through search engines.
Of course there are other ways to get traffic. The other most
common form for newbies is to use pay per click campaigns. The
problem is that the keywords in these enormous markets are so
expensive and hence usually out of reach for the new marketer.
By focusing on a niche market you instantly increase your
chances of success ten fold! You will spend less money, get more
traffic and be able to hone your skills in a more 'friendly'
environment. If you start out this way you may be able to gather
the expertise to properly compete in the super competitive
markets later on down the track!
This principle is effective regardless of the way you plan to
monetize your site. For example you will want to apply this idea
if you are publishing adsense sites, promoting affiliate
programs or creating your own product.
The only question is "how do I find a niche"? The internet is
such an amazing place that new markets are being created every
day so unlike the big impenetrable markets there is an endless
supply of niches.
We will address this subject in the next article of this
