Don’t Lose Heart!

by Charlie Page

This really might be the most important article I’ve ever written.

I know you hear that a lot from online marketers, and then get slammed with a pitch for their latest product.

This article is not that.

Read on and you will see.

There is a major problem online today and that problem is discouragement. You might be suffering from it right now.

At first, it seems easy to succeed online. After all, the websites we visit say it will be easy. And they have plenty of pictures of people living “the good life” to prove it.

Why they even show pictures or videos of their bank accounts to show how much they earn!

But then we look deeper, and listen to those with more experience, and learn that it’s not as simple as they make it look.

It’s all too easy to see why people would become discouraged about doing business online.

If I were to list the top four reasons for this discouragement it would be thus…

ONE, people are tired of getting ripped off by sites that promise to “build their business” or “do all the work for them” only to discover they need to pay and pay and pay again to get any help.

TWO, people are tired of sales letters that make the product involved seem like the Holy Grail only to discover, after they buy of course, that they have bought a terrible product that in no way does what the sales letter claims.

Or that they lack the core skills that the course requires, but were not told they need such skills.

THREE, people are sick and tired of begging the people they buy from for customer support. Emails that go unanswered for weeks at a time, phone calls unreturned, support center tickets not answered and more top the list. And if you need help understanding what you have bought … forget about it!

FOURTH and last, people are shocked to discover how much they need to learn in order to work online effectively.

They hoped they could build their own website but discovered they must learn an entirely new language (yes, just like learning a foreign speaking language) without regard to all the hype about “what you see is what you get” or how “it’s just like a word processor”. It’s not, really.

And then there are the terms like “autoresponder” or “ad tracker” or “ezine” that just don’t exist offline. And then there is the need to learn how to advertise and the seemingly endless lists of thing like “pay per click” to learn about.

You have to learn about those too.

It can honestly be overwhelming

If any of this sounds familiar I want you to take heart.

Do NOT be discouraged. Listen carefully to what I am going to say next, because it is true, and it’s something you do NOT hear often enough.

*** You CAN do this! ***

And I’m going to help, as much as an article can, right now.

In fact, the next several articles I’m going to write are going to be about this topic and I’m going to provide some very specific steps you can take to go from where you are now to where you want to be, in a very sane and logical manner.

No hype. No bull. Nothing held back.

My goal is to move you from hype to hope. You see, I KNOW that almost anyone of average intelligence with a true desire to make a living online CAN do that.

But I also know, from firsthand experience many years ago and from the thousands of emails I receive every month that most people don’t know they can do it.

But I repeat — YOU CAN DO THIS!

The first step is to realistically evaluate where you are right now. I do not like labels but in this case they work. So, label yourself this way.

NOTE: Bear in mind that these definitions are inadequate to describe any person, but please try to see you fitting into one or another if at all possible.

BEGINNING MARKETER – You know how to send email and surf to websites but not much more. You could not build a website if your life depended on it and creating your own product or recruiting affiliates are things foreign to you.

You would love to make money working at home but have no real idea how to do that. You want to make money online but have not made any yet, and are skeptical of the hype you see with most “businesses” online today.

INTERMEDIATE MARKETER – You have made a few bucks as an affiliate marketer but know there must be a way to make more. You know something about things like pay per click or ezine advertising or banners, but don’t really know how to use them to your advantage.

You would like to take the next step but are unsure of what exactly to do next and what the future looks like.

ADVANCED MARKETER – You make a full time living online. You are in a program that is working, have a product of your own, or both. You use advanced techniques like article marketing, ezine advertising, might publish you own ezine, do joint ventures and more.

You would like to leverage your success into even more income for yourself and your family.

I know there are those reading this who are “gurus”. You make a half million per year online (profit, not sales!) and your names are very well known online. I like you guys and gals, but these messages are not
directed to you specifically.

But do feel free to forward them on to the people you serve, because many of them will need to hear this.

Now, if you read the information above and took a moment to think about it, you have put yourself in one of the categories. And that is a great first step to moving forward.

So what’s the next step?

Keep an eye out for the next issue of the Real World Tactics ezine.

In it I will discuss what the beginning marketer can do to make sense of how to move forward online, along with a few very specific suggestions of the next action steps.

No matter where you are in your online experience – beginner, intermediate, advanced or even if you have “guru” status – it is all too easy to lose heart when facing the challenges in your life.

Let me encourage you again to not lose heart.

Help, real help, is available and you CAN succeed online once you have a rock solid plan, know what to do next and have

And succeeding online is a beautiful thing indeed!
