Why 95% Of People Fail At Internet Marketing

The other day on one of the forums that I frequent someone posted a thread that alluded to the above subject. He suggested that people fail at making money online because "They don't understand what they are doing"  and he emphasized it by underlining the statement.

With the rate of failure suggested to be at ninety-five to ninety-six percent you have to figure that there might be some truth in what he is saying.

The general consensus is that we fail with our Internet Marketing business because we all try to sell something, anything when we first get started.

What I have only recently learned and what I now know that all the gurus and online coaches are shouting in chorus is a resounding  NO! to that idea

I know that must look and sound a bit dramatic but that is exactly what they are all saying. If you want to fail quickly or become very frustrated in Internet Marketing begin by trying to sell something.

To them this is tantamount to shooting yourself in the foot not to mention a complete waste of time, energy and in some cases money.

I know some of you are asking! What then how do I get started? Like me you would be mildly surprised even a bit irritated with the answer.

The answer is really simple and everyone who is anyone in the Internet Marketing arena agrees that you have to Build A List. Yes that's it "build your list!"

What is this "list" you may ask! Well it is a list of the names, email addresses and phone numbers of the people who are or might be interested in what you are marketing.

You could call it a list of prospects but it is commonly know to Internet Marketers as an opt-in list.

Just so we do not go overboard and get stuck in information overload let us allow this to sink in,at least for those who need it to for now.

In another blog I will share some basics of how you can use a one page website to begin building your own opt-in list.
