Anyone who has ever tried to make a living online, even if only part-time, is well aware of the negative pull caused by information overload.
It usually goes something like this: you sign up for free reports, ebooks and the like with the hope of finding the "magic bullet". Next thing you know your inbox is stuffed with all kinds of products and services promising you the golden key to online riches.
Instead of actually helping you, the massive amount of information you're receiving clutters your brain and confuses you even more.
On top of that you have to deal with sites that pry on your eagerness to make money online. Their sole intention is to scam you by stealing your money in exchange for promises that are nothing more than hot air.
So how do you go about figuring out what's real and what's not? How do you protect yourself from information overload and avoid being a victim of unscrupulous sites who are only interested in getting your money?
Here are 4 pointers that should keep you on track and make your quest to make money online a bit easier:
1. Get-Rich-Quick schemes:
I've been in business for over 20 years and I can tell you first hand there are no "get-rich-quick" plans. If there were I would be the richest man in the world right now...! Getting rich takes planning, action and time. Granted, you can get rich quicker with the net than the conventional way. Still, the basic principle is the same.
2. Verify BEFORE you buy:
Did you find something you think is a good opportunity to make money with on the net? Verify it first! Here's how: Send an email asking more detailed information than what the website reveals. If you get a possitive answer back within 24/48 hours, go ahead and purchase the product. At the very least you'll have the guarantee they stand behind their product.
Don't get an answer or get some lame response or worst yet, can't find contact information on the site? FORGET ABOUT IT! Look for another opportunity.
3. Talk to someone:
There are forums on virtually every topic imaginable available to you. Go online and ask questions. Based on the response you're getting from other forum visitors you'll have a good ideal whether or not the product your interested in is worth your time and your money.
To find a forum go to Yahoo, Google or MSN and type in: forum , where is the name of the topic. Example: 'forum mercedes benz' (without the quotes) will give you a list of all forums that deal with mercedes benz.
4. Stay focused:
By far this is the hardest for most online wannabes. Somehow staying focused on what you want to accomplish seems to be impossible. In part because of the information overload and in part because of lack of "know how".
The best thing for you to do is to completely avoid anything that does not deal with your topic of interest. Let's say you are looking to make money online selling novelty ice cream. To improve your chances for success, join forums that deal with this topic, sign up for free information about novelty ice cream, find out who is already selling this and then check out their website. In other words, stay focused on your topic and forget the rest.
Don't sign up for an ebook that tells you how to detail your mag wheels just because it's free. Not only is it distracting, before long you'll have your inbox cluttered with everything and anything that does not relate to your business. How can you possibly stay on track or expect to make money?
So there you have it, a simple, easy routine to improve your chances for success on the web: stay away from "get-rich-quick" schemes, verify before you buy, talk to someone first and stay focused to your business.
Most successful people online will tell you that they noticed a substantial increase in their web business the moment they started to practice these 4 pointers.
