All of us, embark on a journey of learning this business,
Internet Marketing. There is indeed, a lot to be learned, blogging,
article marketing, search engine optimization, affiliate marketing,
video marketing, email marketing, how to build websites and how to set
up an autoresponder, the list goes on...
So at what stage do we stop learning and start doing? We feel that we have to know everything there is to know regarding a particular topic. This is partly due to lack of confidence in our ability, and the fear of failure. Somehow, we all feel that if we learn as much as we can about a topic, we are arming ourselves against failure. Obviously, we all need to know the topic at hand, fairly well, but there is a distinct difference between knowing your topic and knowing everything about your topic.
When we embark on our learning journey, we tend to get so involved with everything that we think is required learning, that we actually forget to take action, or worse still, keep procrastinating on taking action. Unlike going to school or college, where a particular course has a start and end date, Internet Marketing does not. As a result, we keep learning and never get to graduate!
It is almost impossible to learn everything there is to know about a chosen topic. If we keep this in mind, we can then, give ourselves permission to take action sooner. We all need to realize, that learning is a process bought about by action. Often, once action has been taken, we realize that, it is this action that propels us forward to bigger and better things.
The learning process needs to therefore, be broken up into smaller sections. Firstly, determine how much we actually need to know to take action, and then implement what has been learned. How we determine how much information we actually need to know, is different for each person, but if we keep in mind to just learn the basics, this will go a long way to stopping this learning cycle, that we often find ourselves in. Implementation will not only, get us moving forward towards our goals, but also give us the confidence that we are desperately seeking.
Fortunately, the Internet Marketing business model, is very low risk. Unlike most 'brick and mortar' businesses where there is a huge financial investment, the internet is the best and cheapest place to fail. Perhaps, it is partly because of this, that we do not put a time limit on ourselves, to start recovering our initial investment.
