I.D.K.H.T.S. Syndrome In Internet Marketing. You Must Avoid It
Make money online, home business, work from home, and more phrases you may hear before, it sound easy to get freedom by doing this kind of business. You just need a laptop, internet connection (and cup of coffee perhaps) it sound easy to get income from home.
Finally I found something interesting from my experience in internet marketing. I.D.K.H.T.S syndrome or “I Don’t Know How To Start” syndrome. It’s sound funny right? Many people interesting to involve in internet business and still not success, in different words, they not get any dollars from their website.
Why? Here I story what happen.
- Have tried many types of internet business or make money online techniques, but no one of the techniques works.
- Until now still don’t have any sales from website or affiliates marketing, while many strategies applied but still doesn’t works.
- Spending money with paid marketing like CPA, Facebook Ads, Banner Ads and many more.
The syndrome is cause by these two factors:-
1) Lack Of Knowledge – they want to success fast but don’t have initiative to learn how to get success in internet marketing. The main reason is want to save money from spending for knowledge. Thinking that they know everything and don’t need to buy some knowledge.
2) Information Overloaded – the fact is opposite from before. It is because reading or get information from many types of make money online either from freebies source or paid product. But in the end you do not know which one to start.
Actually, there are many other factors that can lead to problems, but if it is reviewed again to two main factors above, the Lack of Knowledge and Information Overloaded.
So, how about you? Are you already in Lack of Knowledge or Information Overloaded? If you stuck in either two situation, you are already in I.D.K.H.T.S syndrome.
You really do not need to worry, because this is a natural thing that happens, like when I was first involved with affiliates around the end of 2010, are a little blur. More, when I was still new to this internet business.
So what should you do? Here some simple tips :-
1) Knowing what your most interest in Internet Marketing.
There’s many kind of make money online or internet marketing in market. But you can’t run all the internet marketing. So, what you should do? Choose only one kind of internet marketing you most passion about it. I’m know affiliate marketing can make money. I’m know E-bay can make money too. But the important things. You must focus in one kind of business
2) Write your own goal.
This is the basic before you start everything before business. Set your own goal and write it on paper. Use S-M-A-R-T goal in writing. A S.M.A.R.T. goal is defined as one that is specific, measurable, achievable, results-focused, and time bound.
For conclusion, change the mindset of making money. Be simple and systematic. If you start with these two basic things, I very sure you know how to avoid “I Don’t Know How To Start” syndrome.
