How to become an Online Internet Marketer?
Many people dream about making money Online. They want to learn how to become an Online Internet Marketer. I was one too.
However, there are a lot of myths in the Online Internet Marketing World. The myths make people believe that becoming an Online Internet Marketer is easy and can make money fast!
Based on my own experience, they are not true!
In this post, I am going to share with you the truth about Online Internet Marketing Myths. I apologize to you if some of the truths may disappoint you and destroy your dreams of making money Online.
BUT, I challenge you to face the truth and create a REAL and achievable DREAMS!
Once you break the myths and follow the simple steps I am going to share with you later in this post, you are on your way to becoming a Successful Online Internet Marketer!
Myths and Truths
Myth #1: You can make money fast and quick from Online Internet Marketing
The truth is that you can make money but not fast! For a new Online Internet Marketer, building a website from scratch to seeing their first income may take about 6 months to a year!
Usually, the first income is minimal and then it will grow gradually and exponentially! But remember, not overnight but months of effort and hard work!
Myth #2: You have to be technically savvy to be an Online Internet Marketer
The truth is that you need not be! Anyone can start building a website within 30sec. (Watch Video below.)
The technical part is easy, the difficult part is what follows. Creating captivating contents and building relations with your visitors need effort and patience.
Myth #3: People will visit your website instantaneously after you set it up
The truth is that Online Internet Marketing Business is not the same as you are opening a physical bag store somewhere in the shopping district.
It is not like when you open the store for the first day of business, the first customer will walk in automatically!
Online Internet Marketing Business requires you to create captivating contents with few competitions. This allows the major search engines to rank your websites on their first page of search result.
In this way, you will attract traffic to your Websites and potentially become your customers.
This need effort and time!
You need to perform keywords and competition research.
I am using my #1 Keyword research tool, Jaaxy, for this purpose.
I use Jaaxy because it will provide me the information I needed. Without the fanciful graphs and diagram that make my head spins. I want to reserve my energy to create meaningful contents for my visitors.

Myth #4: Your website visitors will buy from you at the very first time they read your post
The truth is No! Not everyone will ever buy things you recommend or sell the very first time they come to your shiny and beautifully designed website.
Do not care about selling things or earn money! Care about creating values to your visitors!
Can you solve their problems? In what ways are you trying to help them through your recommendations?
If you can create values, even if they did not buy anything the first time, they remember your website.
They will come back again for more information while they research on others.
One fine day, when they really need to buy the product, they will remember the site that creates the most value for them. They will buy from you.
This is part and parcel of building a trusting relation with your visitors.
Myth #5: All products that teach you how to make money Online are scams
The truth is No again! There are many genuine products/courses online that provide good methods and techniques on how to make money online.
Again, a big BUT, they are numbered at only around 10% of all the products available in the Online World.
90% of all products are SCAM! You must do your due diligence to research the products before you take a plunge in.

Thanks so much for your comment Diondre!
There are so many people out there thinking that making money online is easy and fast due to the false impression given by many scam “Gurus”.
I hope that this article will reach out to the many Online Entrepreneur wannabe and hopefully provide them with the right mindset before they take on this long journey to Success!
Wishing you Success!
Loving your top 8 myths of Online Marketing Edmund, i particularly agree with the reputation part. Not many people can pull off a website because you need to regularly update it so when they see someone with a website of his own, they will instantly have the perception that you are worth checking out. I get that a lot, and I guess this should further encourage people to take up Online Marketing instead of being scared of it. Bookmarked your page Edmund, keep on writing!
Thank so much for sharing your experience too Riaz! Together we could create values for everyone who wishes to start an Online Business in this Online World.
Wishing you the best and see you back soon!
Success is really earned not given. As for online business, It takes effort and patient. However, with the power of internet, it is much more efficient and affordable. Becoming an online marketer should be the best opportunity one can have. It can give more freedom in the future as it grows day by day 🙂
Hi Edy, I agree with you totally that Success is earned, not given. Many did not know that every Successful Person has an untold story of hard works and hard knocks before reaching their Goals.
It is true that Online Business is much more efficient and affordable with the invention of Internet.
However, the Internet is also plague with many Scams of any forms. One must be very careful and do their due diligence to do research first.
Wishing you Success!
I think you have given great insights about myths and truths. I underline that any businesses, offline or online can not build in overnight, but need time to nurture with firm foundations, engage with your customers / audience, gain trust before making money and become a successful online internet marketer.
You are absolutely right that any business need time to nurture with firm foundations.
Most importantly, the owners must have the right mindset and determination to become successful too.
