    Hey everyone, share your biggest frustration that you have with internet marketing. Whether it is technical related, or not.

    EX: My biggest frustration is just having information overload and feeling like there are so many things to do, and so I never just get started on one thing.

    Personally I'm having a hard time deciding which route is actually worth my time. I realize that there's a lot of legwork no matter which avenue you pick, but in the end what people want is the most stable income with the least amount of time wasted.

    I agree, there is only so much time in the day...and I really want to spend my time doing what will get me the best results. I think that is one reason I continue to learn and research all of the different strategies for internet marketing. I feel like I want to know EVERYTHING so that I can choose what is the best idea to do...

    I just have to make sure not to get stuck with never taking any action!

    Relying on other people to finish your work promptly.

    Outsourcing can suck some times.

    Information overload (sometimes) but I found out you just gotta get started. Stick to one method until your good at it (article marketing, PPC Video ect...)and then move on to the next..

    My biggest frustration was when my site was dropped due to malware on my site
    It was removed from its original place and it was really hard to get it back
    Thanks

    My biggest frustration is trying to choose if I want to go with the make fast money but it's only short term income,

    Or go for the long term income but I probably won't see much money in the first month...

    And also the fact that I can sometimes get Info Overload and Analysis of Paralysis at times also.

    I'm growing to share this same resentment with you as well :p. As much as the net has a large amount of people willing to do the work, its hard to find someone who's actually reliable

    As a technical person my biggest frustration is how it seems every guru wants to sell you their "automation" tool for big bucks when in reality the concept is so very simple. But I guess that's the name of the game... make it "seem" complicated so it has a higher perceived value.

    I hate seeing people being taken advantage of.

    Lol, unfortunately the number 1 reason why people get stuck/frustrated is information overload. There's an abundance of things to do as an internet marketer, but only a few things that people should be doing.

    ditto for information overload; so easy to get distracted & end up filling your inbox with "useful" information.

    you should get a cord together and set up a review site with unbiased reviews on all these tools - charge a membership! I hate reading through all that stuff hoping to find a decent product that can help with some of the more tedious tasks only to be disappointed

    A better question I think would be, what would you want to change if you could about internet marketing

    My biggest frustration is trying to market in forums and blogs and not come across as spam.

    my biggest problem and many people in my country with internet marketing is we dont have a debit/credit card that we can use to buy a traffic through adwords, since credit card is only available for worker not for a free people with no jobs like me!

    My frustration is to get over with all the bookmarking sites in time. Everyday I do these bookmarking manually and visit the same sites atleast once everyday, which is quite frustrating.

    My biggest frustration would probably have to be forum spam.

    Information overload and distilling all that I could do, down to what I should do---It's a fun frustration though.

    marketing is really fun. only thing annoying is having a website with all unique content and not having it a good pr or even serp rank. however there are always smarter ways that can overcome that.
