My Internet Marketing Journal
Comments April 28, 2010 / Posted in Beginners, Internet Marketing, TIme ManagementInternet marketing changes like the wind. You can let the wind blow you around in all kinds of directions, like a fallen leaf during Autumn, or, you can harness the wind to take you in one direction, like an experienced kite boarder (cool analogy, huh?).
If you’ve been engaging in IM over the years, you are probably used to the hype and constant bombardment of internet marketing products from all the people whose list you signed up for. It gets mind numbing sometimes.
Listen, I’m here to help inject some sanity. You can say I’m a hardened IM– I’ve reached a point where I can ignore the hype of some re-hashed worthless launch, but can also recognized something with true utility.
Anyways, I am going to be posting a series of my IM Journal entries. Yes, I use my Outlook Journal to write down my thoughts before I forget them, and to add clarity and direction to my efforts. Hope you can learn from these. You can think of them as the filtered, concentrated knowledge from pages and pages of IM info. Here’s the first one.

The path to internet marketing success has two basic pillars:
A. Product/Niche identification and creation (includes niche website creation)
B. Visibility on the Internet: (natural search and paid traffic sources).

Ok, that’s the first entry in my IM journal. I recommend you start one, too, because you will come across some “a-ha” moments that you’ll need to write down (don’t trust yourself to remember it, because you will be distracted by the next big IM launch and all those promo emails. So…. get to work!
