How To Use Marketing Mindset To Manage Information Overload

Will You Fail If You Don’t Have One?

There is a big problem with trying to learn different online marketing strategies as part of your overall marketing plan. The problem is there is just flat out too much information for any reasonable human being to try to digest. This is a huge web marketing trap which most marketers fall into (I fell into it for several years).

You do not have to repeat the mistake of so many marketers. Too much online marketing information, even if it is all good information, will cause you to freeze in confusion and not take any marketing action. It is the equivalent of a deer starring at the lights of an oncoming car. If you stare too long you may not get hit by a car but you will definitely get hit by your bills which keep coming and will kill you financially.

This is a problem you need to seriously address and overcome right here and now. This has caused many a marketer to fail and give up. I used to buy every e-book and system on Internet marketing and read for sometimes 6 or more hours a day. I have an ocean of theoretical business marketing knowledge and can actually remember some of it.

I would read so much but felt worse than before I started reading. Is that strange or what? How could you feel bad after learning a new system for money making? It was quite simple really … everyone had a different approach to making money on the Internet and all prescribed to do it in different ways.

The reason for feeling bad after reading all these theories is simple. You can make money many ways on the Internet, but you need to find a way to make it that is appropriate for you and the market you are trying to approach. You need to do what I like to call make your own system out of a system. In other words take the things from other marketers which you feel comfortable using and scrap the rest. This does not work however for some principles which are always true.

You don’t have to create a totally new and original path in an Internet market, but you need to adapt and choose the strategies which work for you. You must Choose which path to follow. Once you force yourself to choose you can begin to ignore all other information and free your mind to work instead of learn. You need to learn which information to use and which to leave alone.

This leads to the next important thing which is self realization. This means you need to thine own self be true and don’t attempt a facet of marketing you are not comfortable with or can’t see yourself doing. An example is Adsense content site building. If you can’t see yourself learning how to build a site and use Adsense and content to make money then why pursue it? Take the information which appeals to you most and be very selective. You can learn everything, but you can’t implement it because you need to have a desire to do it to make it a success.

The next thing you need to do is follow the system or methods you have chosen. You need to learn that system and you need to implement it or take action on it. You need to stop reading 6 hours a day and reduce your information intake and start developing it by working on it. Ah yes that dreadful word work. This will be fun work though because you have what? Chosen something you have a desire to know and build.

The next thing that happens is you will try something and have a setback or problem. I won’t say a failure because a failure means you give up completely and here is how your path will look.

• Try system … have a setback
• Fix your setback and adjust your plan
• Have a second (and maybe third/fourth, etc) setback
• Finally have a working system

You need to have the persistence of a child and determination to keep on going until you have a success. If a child stopped trying to walk after falling down many many times (which they all do) we would all be on scooters.

Here is where one of the greatest men ever comes into play …

Thomas Edison once said: “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. Accordingly, a ‘genius’ is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework. Here is something to keep in mind; Thomas Edison had some 10,000 tests fail while inventing and on this subject he wrote:

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”.

Please don’t worry you won’t need to have 10,000 setbacks. I will help you to only have a couple, but you get the idea. You need to work and also to know yourself and choose something you are passionate about, but it has to have a level of profitability because we all need money to survive.
