As a New Internet Marketer – Do You Think Focus, Is Just Hocus Pocus?
Apr 10th
By Keith Everett
Catchy title Oui! but what the heck does it mean?
It simply means that when I started in Internet Marketing, my view of the Internet Marketing playground was a lot different than it is today… 1 year on.
I guess back then I was easily seduced by “shiny” things. I had no point of reference as to what was real.. what was a genuine reliable source of information or what was, well to put it politely. CRAP!. This article – I hope, will help you see how the “crowd” is trampling itself to DEATH!
Statistically, 97% of people entering this Online ARENA, are thrown to the lions within a few short months and go back to their former life, bruised, battered and cynical as HELL, believing the Internet Marketing “thing” was NOT for them…
SO.. if I gave you a choice. Jump into the 3% field of Diamonds OR Go down the 97% Black hole… which would you choose? A Simple choice, isn’t it?
Yet,strangely enough. A large percentage of the 97% ALREADY know what they are doing WRONG, yet they still continue to do it. In the vain hope that “If you throw enough darts at a dartboard… you MUST surely hit the bullseye eventually” – RIGHT?… Wrong! – You might NEVER hit the Bullseye..
Doing MORE, doesn’t always mean you are making progress, it simply means you are making a “noise”. Movement is one thing, TRACTION is another, these things are so often confused, especially by new people coming into the online industry.
If you follow the herd and just do what everyone else does – The HERD, don’t always WIN.. the herd are just the herd, and that’s what they DO…FOLLOW!
They go around being the SAME as the next person, the teacher says! X + Y = Z. You do X + Y as instructed, you get to Z but you are still part of the HERD!
You see, when I started out. I had lots of experts telling me what to do. I joined this membership site, that membership site. I was spending more per week on membership sites and products than I had been making per week in my previous job… I even convinced myself that “Oh well, in business – you will have expenses. And indeed you do. However, I was my own worst enemy, because instead of developing myself as an expert in the Internet Marketing arena. I was in fact becoming part of the crowd. And the crowd “hiss and boo” and make lots of noise. But very little MONEY!
So, over to YOU!. check out who the successful people Online really are, and what they do. They SELL products.. yes they now give a TON of stuff away for FREE.. It’s the way forward for us all, but at the end of the day, they either sell a service, or a product. Some do both!
YOU are just part of that process… Marketers tend to sell to Marketers, new or otherwise. However, Social Media is developing at such breakneck speed, opening up more and more opportunities to market your services and products to the OFFLINE world..
These are very EXCITING times, it is very competitive out there. Even more so now, we need to be DIFFERENT. We need to develop brand “YOU”.
More emphasis should be placed on how to be an individual, not a NUMBER in a BIG crowd. This is something not talked about very much, as being a NUMBER means you are easier to market to.
Why do I think 97% FAIL in this game.. ?!? “People adopt a “Business Opportunity” mentality, meaning that they are looking to replace hard work with “shiny objects” and they FAIL to IMPACT people to buy from them in any great quantity due to “following the crowd”
My formula for SUCCESS……. Knowledge + Implementation (Action) + Eye Catching Brand (you) = Success…
I hope you have found this useful, please leave me a comment.
I’ve decided to do some 121 coaching on an hourly basis through Skype soon, if anyone is interested, let me know. My rates are very reasonable, I will help you to stay on track and focus on the core issues.

Welcome To Keith’s Money Making Tips
Hi There. My name is Keith Everett and I am an Internet Marketer & Author.
On my blog you will find a wide range of Money Making Information,Tips & Tricks to really help you to increase your bank balance. And hopefully change your whole life for the better.
This blog was designed to help motivate,empower and inspire you to live life to the fullest, by creating life changing amounts of money, something, most people can only dream about.
So first, here is a little about me..
I live in Broxboune, Hertfordshire, England. I grew up in Enfield, when Enfield was still in the county of Middlesex. It is now a LONDON borough.
I have always been an ambitious person even when I was a scrawny 13 year old. At 13 years of age, I had started up a paid newsletter on the subject of buses, and my dad freaked out one day when a grown man came to our house to meet the Editor in Chief of this popular publication.
I started My first Mail Order Business At 14
I was a great one for buying and selling things through the “Exchange & Mart” a weekly buy & sell magazine, and made my first sales in my own Mail Order Business at 14.
I was never a real hotshot at school, and literally hated every subject exept MATHS… You see, even in those days, the power of NUMBERS was kicking in, as I was preparing to make good, my financial future.
By the time I was 21, I had my first REAL taste of making money…. I bought a Betting Shop in Camberley, Surrey.
A £37,000 Profit
At 21, I was one of the youngest betting office licence holders in the UK, and my first venture into the betting business was a success. I sold this same shop 16 weeks later to a chain of Bookmakers for no less than a £37,000 profit.
Not bad for a kid wet behind the ears eh?
In the last 30 or so years, I have had a driving school, an ice cream business, a horse race tipping business and I even made a good living selling diet pills on eBay.
I hasten to add, I have also had many failures as well.
Penniless, Homeless – Broke
A few years later, the money was gone..
My lowest point ever was in 1987 when my then girlfriend who I adored with all my heart packed me up. In the next 18 months my life fell apart and not only did I become homeless & friendless. At one point I was near enought destitute. I had gone from that happy go lucky chap with all the hope in the world, who made £37,000 in 16 weeks, to someone who couldn’t even afford the price of a good meal.
You Can Do Anything
I spent the next few years rebuilding my life, learning how to cope with setbacks and to realise that the setbacks are just the hurdles we encounter along the way before true successes come. We pretty much get what we pretty much expect in this life..
That is my story. I am telling you this, not to moan about my life, but to let you know that SUCCESS can sometimes mean having plenty of FAILURES… and even though you have failed and things got SO bad that you just plain old wanted to give up… NEVER ever give in and GIVE UP….. Success comes to those who STAY the distance..
Even if the whole world seems against you… YOUR TIME WILL COME…
So, here I am, loving every minute of being an Internet Marketer. I have written many articles on making money and a book entitled “10 Killer Ways To Make Money from Home”
I work from home, and my big ambition is to make it to the TOP in this business and to show other people how to RECLAIM their lives by becoming financially independent.
Hence, this blog. Enjoy…
Keith
