If you are planning to start your own internet marketing business and for the sake of future income and sanity, please read carefully and make a wise and pondered decision about your actions. Either way, it's on your action decisions that your business will rely on and there is no way to avoid it.

You might have read hundreds of reports and bought a hundred more internet marketing related ebooks, implemented some of the strategies outlined, advertised your business in Adwords and created several blogs for search engine sake, but no income as ever come to you, right? "I must be doing something wrong...", you think, and you continue to search for the next big-time, never before seen guru promise of millions overnight.

Well, to be honest, you are doing something wrong! But it's not due to lack of information, or even bad information, it's due to a missing link - a proper, well defined and goal oriented strategy.

Let me give you a short example. You have read and know about the affiliate marketing business and you want to give it a shot to make some money with other people products. You get an affiliate link at Clickbank, post it in your site or blog, write a few reviews about it, an article to submit to several directories and create a pay-per-click campaign. You wait a few days and surprise... nothing happens, no money rolling in. At best a couple of sales... Why?

Let's see:

a. Do you have a constant flow of traffic to your offer? If not, you should put in place a system to drive traffic to it.

b. Assuming you are promoting an in demand product, have you made the necessary steps that allow you to contact the people who saw your offer? This is a vital step in affiliate marketing and it should be one of your main concerns.

c. Do you outsource some of your tasks or do it all by yourself? Remember, you can only make as much as time allows it, if you outsource some tasks, you will have more of it to improve your business.

d. Are you trying to learn everything there is about internet marketing opposed to focusing on creating income systems? Probably, what you already know is more than enough to make two fortunes and again, there are some tasks you can outsource and you will never be able to do it all by yourself in time.

e. Are you targeting the right customers? If you have a computer related site and you put up an offer on a golf clubs discount, you will hardly see any sales.

My main point is to make you see that you might already have the right information to start your own home based business but just do not know how to make it work. And it really is not that difficult to make some good money. You just have to know the right steps to implement in your business.

There is a lot more to make an internet marketing business function properly and it's impossible to give you a detailed strategy and plan in this article, this is just to give you an heads up in order for you to make the right decisions when starting out and not to waste time, and money, in actions that will not give you any return, only frustration.
