- Don't be afraid to fail. Sometimes in life things don't work out like we hope they will. But if you never take a risk and try something new you will never have the opportunity to win big. As Wayne Gretzkey once said, "100% of the shots you don't take, don't go in". So instead of worrying about whether something will be a failure, go ahead and jump in with both feet. It just may be the best decision you ever made!

- Don't assume you have to know everything before you can get started. You will never learn everything there is to know about Internet Marketing. It changes so fast that you could keep studying forever and always be learning something new. So don't waste your time trying to know everything before you get started building your business.

Your goal should be to learn something and then take a step forward. Act on the new information and put it to use instead of just filing it away for another day. You're bound to have some failures, but the real world education you'll gain from actually putting the techniques into practice will be invaluable to your success.

- Don't be afraid to use other people's content. Private label rights (PLR) content is a way of purchasing articles, ebooks, special reports and software that you can use as your own.

Because it's sold to multiple people it's much more affordable than having someone create the content just for you. And it's available to start using immediately so you don't spend months trying to do it all yourself. Use PLR as content for your website, blog and newsletter. Give it away to build your list. Or sell it alone or as part of another product you offer. The possibilities are endless!

- Don't do useless internet strategies to make your business and yourself well-known. Spend time in the forums. Forums are a great way to meet people online. Whether it's an Internet Marketing forum where you meet potential partners or a niche focused forum where you are marketing to potential customers, they are a great way to get your name out there. Even though the conversations are usually informal, be sure to always conduct yourself professionally. People are watching and will be forming opinions about you based on the things you say.

- Don't leave your site unmaintained. Spend time working on your conversion rate. The average website has a conversion rate between 1% and 2%. That means that 98% - 99% of everyone who visits your site leaves without taking action.

That's a huge number of potential customers that have walked away and may never be seen again. Spend some time studying what others in your industry are doing and try implementing some of their ideas on your site. Track everything and see what improves your conversion rate. Over time you will gradually increase the percentage of visitors who buy.

Remember, these tips are from the online marketers who have are already seeing success with their businesses. Take advantage of learning about what worked for them and put these tips to good use in your own business.
