Online marketing is one of those gigs that is kind of mysterious. It seems pretty straight forward from one angle, and then..from another angle…it is steeped in layers of complexity. So which one is it? Well..that all depends on who you ask.
People who are relatively new to online marketing, commonly make a host of the same mistakes….so much so that it bears greater discussion here. Actually, there are three main mistakes that newbies usually make, that will end up being quite costly, in the end. In addition, those mistakes tend to make things very complicated and confusing, for no good reason. Not good.
In the spirit of simplifying online marketing and removing unnecessary complexity, I’m going to highlight those three mistakes, in hopes of making it easier to avoid them. Here we go…

THREE COSTLY MISTAKES PEOPLE USUALLY MAKE WHEN THEY ARE NEW TO ONLINE MARKETING – EPISODE 16
ONLINE MARKETING MISTAKE #1: TRYING TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT ON YOUR OWN
I know it’s tempting for many to try to learn to master online marketing, on their own. It is often tough to know how to cut through all the noise in the marketplace to find the leaders one can trust. Having said that, you are far more likely to get lost down a giant rabbit hole on your search to learn the online marketing game…than you are to even come close to mastering it.
I know this all too well, from personal experience. I languished for a year and half down that danged rabbit hole and ultimately, I ended up having to seek mentorship anyway. Best thing I ever did and I wish I had done it MUCH sooner. So many talented folks in online marketing have paved the way for us. Doesn’t it make much more sense to follow in their footsteps than to try to reinvent the wheel? Instead of just throwing everything at the wall to see what will stick, simply do as the successful online marketers do… and you’ll have what they have.
ONLINE MARKETING MISTAKE #2: TRYING TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS WITH ONLY FREE STUFF
I have to admit, freebie-seekers make me a bit nuts. I mean…I’m all for some great free content and I do consume plenty of it, but know that leaders don’t throw down all of their good stuff…for free. The real gold…the stuff that only the top people in online marketing know…the ‘HOW’ of the whole thing…you ARE going to have to pay for. Ultimately, you’ll be able to find the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ but ‘the HOW’..you’ll have to buy. I learned this valuable lesson from me friend and mentor, Tanya Aliza. Look her up:)
Truthfully, there is no way to build ANY business without making some kind of investments, so it baffles me that in online marketing, so many people just don’t get that. The sooner you get comfortable with investing in yourself, the faster you’ll see success in your business. For me, I’ve found that every time I plunk down some dough for training, events, workshops, courses…whatever…my business improves and so does my income. There is a direct correlation. So get over that hump and start investing in you. You ARE worth it!
ONLINE MARKETING MISTAKE #3: NOT LEVERAGING THE ‘RIGHT’ TOOLS AND TRAINING
Listen…I get it. There are so many shiny, sparkly things out there that promise to make online marketing, easier and more fun. However, at the end of the day…a good percentage of those things are simply distractions.. You do NOT need distractions. Trust me when I tell you, that you’ll have enough reasons to avoid doing the income producing activities, without collecting tools and toys you don’t need.
The key here, is to invest and implement the RIGHT things for you and your business. Choose tools and trainings that will push you toward your goals and will create simplicity and leverage in your business. Great examples of worthwhile and recommended tools are, an autoresponder, a CRM, a funnel builder, and a WordPress blog..to name some key ones. You don’t need a bunch of stuff to automate your whole life..for example. Ideally, spend your time, energy and money on the things that work even if they are less sexy. Once you are a master at online marketing, then by all means…buy as many toys as you like.
There they are..the three main mistakes that people are likely to make when they are new to online marketing.
DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP…
If you’re guilty of any of these mistakes, don’t beat yourself up. Now that you know..you can change it. If you are struggling to master online marketing, whether you are new or have been around a while…I’ve got some help for you.

CAN I BE REAL WITH YOU, FOR A MINUTE HERE…?

Did you come online because you don’t have any one in your warm market left to talk to? Are you finding it tough to get good prospects in front of your stuff and when you do..they just give a bunch of excuses not to join or purchase your products?Maybe, you feel like you just don’t know where to start. Perhaps, you are frustrated when you see so many other people having success in online marketing when you’re always stuck. Am I close?
Do you want to know how to change all that AND FINALLY STICK IT TO ALL THE HATERS, FOR SAYING YOU’RE CRAZY TO DO THIS THING?!!?
How would you like a steady stream of prospects reaching out to you, every day..eager to talk to you about what you’re doing? How awesome would it be to chat with people who are already pre-sold on you, before you even speak to them? Pretty freakin’ cool, right?
It’s totally doable and I’m living proof of that.
‘GET YOUR ONLINE ACT TOGETHER’ CHALLENGE

Not a single day has gone by in the past year or so, that I haven’t woken up to leads in my inbox and messages waiting for me on social media. When I call prospects now..they often say things like “OMG..is this really Staci…from the videos I watched? I can’t believe you called me!” How much easier do you think it is to talk business with someone like THAT?
It’s 10 X easier, at least. You’re business can be like that too..you just have to learn to master the right strategies and leverage the right tools.
