Do You Guru?










If you are like the many thousands of us out here trying to earn a living online, you no doubt have run into someone claiming to be a guru of some type of internet marketing method. The ultimate goal for all of us is to be able to leave the 9-5 rat race and live off of your online income. Truthfully most of us never make it to this lofty goal, many often barely cover the costs of Web Hosting, Web Design, Marketing E-books, PPC and advertising.
So who’s fault is it? is it the fault of the Guru you are presently trying to emulate or is it your fault for not doing exactly what they say to do. For 80% of us it most likely is our fault, we purchase the Guru’s products and hope that by reading the books that by osmosis or something the internet riches will rub off on us. I have been recently guilty of this myself, I get an emotional provoking email promoting some great new E-book that will show me the magic way. I get so wrapped up in the magic that this new product is going to produce for me, that I instantly get it, especially if it’s from one of my favorite Internet Marketing Guru’s. Then what happens, I read it then store it on my hard drive forgetting that it is even there.
There is a lot of great help and advice available to us new comers in the Internet Marketing Industry, that helps people like you and me who are trying to earn a living online. The fact is just do a search for Internet Marketing in Google and you will come up with ton’s of pages of Internet Marketing experts that will profess to be the expert in all the different fields of Internet Marketing such as:
…Product Creation
…List Building
…Pay Per Click
…Adsense
…Affiliate Marketing
…Web 2.0
…Traffic Building Just to name a few.
The Internet Marketing arena is so filled with supposed experts in their field that it becomes confusing for the newbie to know where to go. So you start following one, then another comes along with what sounds like a better idea than the last, then another comes around that promises to make you money while sleeping in the Bahamas and so on, and so on. You start lacking direction and end up all over the place and not focusing on what you are supposed to be focusing on which is to earn a living online.
So what do you do? — S L O W D O W N —-!! Pick one or two people that you can feel comfortable will lead you in the direction you are willing to follow. Preferably someone who is well rounded in all aspects of the internet marketing field or at least very knowledgeable in the areas that your are not. What are the things to look at when trying to find competent help in your new online venture? Do you like the Guru’s writing style, do you understand what they are saying and does it explain in your terms what and how to do what it is they are writing about? Has this Guru done what they are teaching about themselves or are they just promoting someone else’s product for the commission.
