Any tips for newbies in Internet Marketing?

I would like to share a few more quick start tips with you:

1. “Great people talk about ideas, big people talk about things, small people talk about other people.”My high school principal once quoted this to the students. It was said only once, but I remember it to this day.

Once, a country man and marketer asked me about the latest buzz in the Internet Marketing arena to which I replied, “I don’t know. I didn’t follow it.” And he continued, “Do you know who is Guru XYZ?” Again, I said, “I don’t know.” “Oh gosh,” he replied. “How can you not know? He’s so famous!”

I probably have sounded rather ignorant in the above conversation, but it boils down to this: don’t spend too much time minding other people’s business.
While I have top Internet Entrepreneurs I look up to all the time, I do well to draw a line between respecting them and watching them by the sidelines.
This is also perhaps how this famous quote came about: Some people make things happen. Some people watch it happen. Others ask, “What happened?”


2. Asians, USD is rewarding!

If you are living in countries like Malaysia, one intimidating thought is that the US currency is bigger than that of your local currency. And what follows are excuses such as “I cannot afford it – it’s very expensive in US Dollars in my country.”
If you think that way, I strongly urge you see how much Internet Marketing can make for you rather than how much it can cost you. For me, the excitement of earning US Dollars in Malaysia beats my fear of spending in US Dollars.


3. Last but not least, take action!

Sometimes, you need to screw “research” when you are at the boundaries of what you know. Not that I am neglecting the importance of research altogether, but doing something beats doing nothing at all when you already don’t know what to do.
Sure enough, you will be making some mistakes, even financially. But take it from anyone who has made several breakthroughs in personal development: the biggest mistake is not even making a mistake.

What is the biggest mistake (or some of the mistakes) you have learned in the past few years as an Internet Marketer?
Don’t quit your day job yet! Make sure that you have enough income from the Internet before you decide to quit.
What are your plans in future?
At this time of writing, bigger plans are in place. Also, I am about to put my personal boundaries to the test again by converting PrivateLabelRightsGold.com into a full-fledged membership site to serve more people.

It may succeed… or it may fail. But one thing is for sure – I cannot be staying in the comfort zone for too long, and I advise you the same regardless of your current circumstances.
