If you are just starting out in the world of internet marketing you must remain alert and focused at all times. Listed are 10 unspoken rules you should review and use to your advantage.

1. What are the advantages of creating and building your own business online? Firstly your office is open for business twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This makes it possible to work whenever you want for as long as you want! When you get comfortable enough to run your business on auto-pilot you’ll be able to enjoy more leisure activities and spend some quality time with your family. Secondly, the work at home scenario is often less stressful and to a great degree how much you work determines how much you are rewarded. Perish the thought of the “Get Rich Overnight” scams that are everywhere. View your online business as you would an offline business. If you want to be successful be committed and maintain a positive attitude while you slowly build the foundation for your business.

2. While it is important to have your mindset focused on a full-time successful online business, it is useful, especially early in your Internet career, as part of the learning curve, to try out a few programs in your spare time. Get the feel of the Internet marketing arena and at the same time learn a little about HTML, scripts, creating attractive images and even building your first website! This can all be achieved as a ‘spare time’ activity. Don’t sack your boss till you have the confidence in your complete ability to earn regular income. There may be a lot to learn but, trust me, if you’re focused, it will be worth the effort.

3. NEVER…get involved in ‘get paid to read email’ sites–they are scams and you won’t earn a penny. They won’t even answer your emails of complaint! MLM too, or in fact any website telling you that your money will be doubled or tripled in a matter of days, or you will become rich over night, are scams. Avoid them!! It’s not difficult to find bona fide marketers on the Internet. Look for offline contact points. An address or telephone number is a good sign they are genuine. Another good test is to send them an email before you sign up to see how efficiently they reply. Avoid the ‘Get-Rich-Quick’ schemes–they don’t work!

4. This economy has most of us broke and hanging on by a hair! Imagine finding a “secret formula” that made you huge sums of money daily. Then imagine sharing that formula with the world wide web! The internet has really turned me off to the work “secret”. The secret is, there aren’t any secrets, just information you need to learn. Everyone was a beginner at some point, you’re no different. Steer clear of the blaring animated graphics and the word “secrets”. We’ve all seen those websites that look like an evening in Las Vegas. They are psychologically created to make you take that “chance”, just like in the casino. Follow you gut and never go against it.

5. Don’t you find it amazing that an internet marketer millionaire would be writing, marketing and selling ebooks to us for $47-$67 to show us how he did it? I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t go over so good with me. There is often a moment when you get a gut reaction. Your gut will warn you, listen to it! You’ve got to put some honest work into your business to get a great return.

6. Don’t pay too much attention to images of earnings checks or bank statements purportedly demonstrating how much the account holder has earned. It is a simple task to create whatever documents you want with a little creativity. The same goes for letters of recommendation or testimonials. Anyone can write them or get their colleagues to do them a favor! They may con some of the people some of the time, but don’t let it be you!

7. If you study the successful internet marketer you’ll find they share a simple quality. Commitment! They are committed to being successful and they do not give up when presented with an obstacle. They are kind of people who stay focused and keep a positive attitude. When confronted with a learning curve they embrace it until they “get it”! It’s not about the instant income, it’s about the residual income. Auto-pilot does exist, but not until you’ve learned the processes.

8. Let’s talk organization. Organization is not an end to itself, but rather a means to get you where you want to go. Being organized allows you to achieve your goals through skillful management of time, paper and people. Specific organizational methods will largely be tailored to each individual and their needs. Learn the various principles and techniques to better organize your business and life. It will streamline your workload and help you stay on top of your daily activities..

9. “Netiquette” stands for “Internet Etiquette”, and refers to the set of practices created over the years to make the Internet experience pleasant for everyone. Like other forms of etiquette, netiquette is primarily concerned with matters of courtesy in communications. Some basics are, help the newcomer; be brief, always include your email address, etc.

10. Do not leave any large sums of money in any online marketing or promotional website. You should know that the majority of websites have a strict policy on spamming. If you are ever accused of spamming (sending unsolicited emails) you could have your account closed by the website owner and lose your funds as well.

So that’s it! Not a set of rules…more a collection of simple guidelines which, if applied, will serve to make your Internet Marketing experience a safer and more enjoyable journey!
