So now you are educated and knowledgeable about the world of internet marketing

There are many systems, methods and techniques that can potentially help you achieve some level of success as an online marketer.

There is a definite wrong way. That is to rush into it without really understanding the business, and what it is going to take to make it work for you. If you don't educate yourself, you will end up in the proverbial 95% category of marketing affiliates that never make a dime online. Think about that number. It is huge.

However, if you approach online marketing as a genuine business that requires planning and effort, then you have a good chance of succeeding. If you are seriously considering online marketing as a way to make more money, then the first logical step is to educate yourself. I cannot emphasise the importance of taking the time to learn everything you can about affiliate and online marketing, before you take the leap. You are going to come up against new acronyms and new business methods and techniques that are associated specifically with starting up, and managing an online business. There are plenty of ways to get educated including, internet research, ebooks, CD and online courses. Internet marketing forums are also another great source of information. If you learn everything you can about internet marketing before you decide to launch into it, you will be miles ahead of most new people who jump into this business and frequently fail. They say ignorance is bliss, but certainly not in this case.

There are three significant words to keep in mind when you decide to enter the business of online marketing.

The first word is patience.

You need to understand that it takes time to make any business work, and there is a learning curve that you need to go through to really understand internet marketing. Steer clear of those marketing ads that promote products with claims of instant wealth with push button products. It's a recipe for failure and quickly racking up your credit card. Research online and marketing thoroughly and sign up for an online marketing course. Find a real mentor that can help you and read forums, ask questions, read articles. Be patient and take the time to learn. That will lead to a solid foundation for you to gradually build your business.

Once you decide that you are going to try your hand at internet marketing and you believe that you understand the process and methods, the next word that will become important to you, is persistence. There are a lot of different ways to make money online and you need to find the one that is right for you. You can promote other people's products, create your own products, join affiliate programs or open an online store. There are literally 100's of ways to make money online. So choose the one or two ways that appeal to you the most, and start experimenting with different methods, campaigns and keywords. Don't give up if you aren't successful in your first try. No one achieves success right off and there is no magic shortcut to instant wealth. Be persistent. It always pays off. Just ask any millionaire.

So now you are educated and knowledgeable about the world of internet marketing. You have looked into various ways to make money online, and have chosen the best systems that personally suit you. You have tested out a few reputable affiliate programs and products and now have some understanding of marketing and some of the methods you want to apply.

If you understand marketing, you know that it means promotion and advertising. Promotion is the third key word that will help pave the way to success for you and your online business. Promotion means getting the word out about you and your website business to everyone you can. There are so many ways to promote your business including; banner ads, email campaigns (you need a list), joining social networking sites, and submitting articles on articles sites like this one. I have only documented a few promotion channels here, but I think you get the picture.

Employ three key words, patience, persistence and promotion into your online marketing business, and it is only a matter of time before you can add two more words, success and money.
