Have You Failed At Internet Marketing?

Last Update: January 10, 2011

Do you feel like you have failed at internet marketing? 

Step back and take a look at what you have done.  Have you written articles or even ONE article?  Started a PPC campaign?  Attempted to build a landing page?  Went through the Action Plan here at WA?  Built a Squidoo Lens? 

If you answered yes to ANY of the questions above - then you have NOT failed!

Many people think they have failed because they are not making money yet.  Don't give up! 

The only failure is not moving forward.  

Keep writing, keep building, keep learning.............move forward to success.  

Whatever "success" means to you.  Don't stop until you get there.

Take joy in the small accomplishments, do at least ONE thing everyday to work towards your goals and YOU will achieve them. 

What if everything you look at as a failure is nothing but a "learning experience".  It is only one step closer to your success.

I have taken lots of risk (not monetary risk, just comfort level risk)  in my internet marketing career - I have been laughed at and told NO several times.  Did it stop me?  HELL NO

I figured out what didn't work and tried again.  

Does my first website look pathetic?  ABSOLUTELY

I still am not sure how much better they look.  The important thing is that I DID IT AND I STILL AM DOING IT _ NO MATTER WHAT!!

I will either make sales or I won't.  At least if I TRY - I have the opportunity  to make sales. 

Don't get caught up in earning money..........get caught up in achieving the small steps and the sales will follow. 

It is IMPOSSIBLE to mess this up.  You can just start over and learn from your mistakes as you go....

Hey Lisa,

So true! I have recently adopted this mindset myself. As long as you're consistently learning and taking action everyday then you are not failing at IM.

Great post!

Thank you for writing this. I always need encouragement. It is so easy to feel defeated because of not making money, but I will keep going and keep learning.

Lisaf,

Great post!

You make alot of sense especially when you say that earning money should not be the priority but rather the willingess to persevere while you keep learning.

Thanks again.

Yes, that's right. Stopping to achieve your goal is the real failure. If one way failed, we can take a detour, while keeping focus on our goals. Good luck for you:)

Right on! Focus on the process and stick with it. If something doesn't work, then change it, but keep at it. You have a winning attitude.
