Hey guys Just wrote quite an extensive article on... well, I'm sure you can hazard a guess from the title! This is by no means me saying THIS IS WHY EVERYONE FAILS DEFINITELY, it's just a little article exploring into why we struggling marketers sometimes do not see the results we hoped for! Link: Top 5 Reasons for Internet Marketing Failure Snippet: Generally speaking though, the best thing you can do is to have a vision and produce that vision exactly as you have it in your head. Which is why a lot of big marketing teams often produce crap, because it's a mixed bag and constant conflict of opinion. Feel free to comment and subscribe to my feed for more
I don't care what you're selling........if there's no marketing research, you're going nowhere but downhill fast. Also do the marketing yourself, if you don't want to learn how to market you have no one to blame for failure but yourself. Learn to write adds, and understand how to attract customers.And do months of research just to find the one product no one else has that will sell like hot cakes.

This question always appear in my mind, can you success working alone in internet marketing? I mean getting a comfortable income like 5-8K per month.
Of course you can, why not? you cant be expert in everything, but you can find your niche and make money from it.
As you mention in your article, procrastination is a big killer. Poor; planning, research, promotion, mismatch of product/market, to name a few. From a marketing/monetary perspective, it is preferable to find a hungry market first, then find/match the product. Conversely, if your passion is discussing the eating habits of the purple spotted frog, then go for it. If your passion happens to fall within a responsive niche and you can monetize it profitably, then that's great. If you can't make it profitable and it's more $$ that your after, then you will achieve more success with the hungry market/match product approach. Nothing replaces good research in my opinion. Just my 2 cents.
A generally well written article. Make sure you do this several times a week. Also post a thread like this on similar forums.
My money is on the procrastination and lack of focus being the biggest killer in the failure stakes. That plus lack of belief in one's self - I hear too many people saying this product or that product didn't work for them - what they missed realising is the products don't work for you - you have to work for the products...
