Today I will begin what will be a 13 part series on the top mistakes of new Internet Marketers.  The reality is good marketers also make these mistakes or at least some of them, every day too.  So tune in and for the next 13 work days I will be bringing you one new mistake each day.  Today we begin with

Internet Marketing Mistake Number One - No Cohesive Plan

This is probably the one thing that either keeps any given internet marketer from making money or from making as much money as they possibly can.  You simply must have a full plan before you launch any project or you will most likely cause the following things to occur.

One – You will leave out critical steps, like tracking everything so you can make adjustments, getting your on page factors right and millions of other details.

Two – You may be doomed by the number one thing that plagues countless would be great internet marketers.  This is having 4-5 or more projects going at once each that could be completed in less then a month, but because you are juggling it takes 5 or more months to fully finish any or worse yet none of them ever get fully completed.

Three – Your project ends up needing constant support to keep going even if it works.  Because you are not fully planning in the beginning you only develop a site and a product, not a system.  Done right your projects should result in creating systems that run themselves once complete so you are free to now do another project.  With out planning this will never happen you will always have more to do.

That is really just the beginning!

In reality there are tons more things that not planning out a project create but the three above honestly are the big ones.

In the beginning of my career and even mid way into it this was my biggest mistake.  Fortunately for me I did focus heavily on learning to optimize web pages and just kept building more and more of them.  In time despite my mistakes the traffic alone helped me make a decent income. 

Yet I am telling you this because I want you to understand how important planning really is because not planning in those early years easily has cost me six figures or more of income I can never recover! 

If I had done extensive planning from day one I would have a much bigger contact list today, far more effective tracking and trends to rely on and far more high ranking web pages (I currently personally have more then 500 top ten rankings not to mention what I have done for clients and employers, so imagine how many I never acquired do to poor planning in my early years).

So don’t make this mistake!  I was going to save this article for your last lesson because the other lessons are actually going to help you be able to form your own outline for your projects.  So you can create your own custom plans and set priority based on your own timelines.

Instead I decided to start with this lesson so your mind would be in the right place going forward.  I encourage you to read this lesson at least one more time and commit to yourself that you will begin to fully plan and prioritize any of your online projects from now on.
