Why 95% Fail as an Internet Marketing Writer and Why I Will Succeed
Posted by KristiAug 27
I am a proud member of an incredible community of internet marketers at the Wealthy Affiliate and it always amaze me when one of the successful Wealthy Affiliate members posts some advice to other members to motivate and inspire them to achieve greatness too. Today, I read such a post and it really changed my mindset and gave me hope for the future. This post discussed the fact that over 95% of internet marketers will fail at internet marketing. It isn’t because they don’t have the education or knowledge to succeed in this business – it is simply because they allow their self –inflicting negative thinking to permeate their minds and they give up too soon. According to this Wealthy Affiliate member, we must be grateful for all achievements (no matter how small) and must continue to take actions that will increase those successes.
I totally agree with this member. Here’s why – for the longest time, I was stuck at $2000 a month and although this is not entirely chump change, it was not what I had hoped for. Instead of being grateful for this amount and doing more to increase this amount, I simply gave up and allowed my negative and self-limiting behavior to kick in and I totally stopped working at internet marketing for a while. I started freelancing more and put my internet marketing dreams aside. Luckily, the passion to succeed in internet marketing was too great and I honestly couldn’t give up.
Now, I realize that in order to succeed, I must be grateful for the success that I previously experienced and know the facts. My past success (be it $2,000 a month or merely $.20 a month) is PROOF that internet marketing works and that I have the knowledge and skills to make internet marketing work for me. What about you? Will you join me as one of the 95% that succeed or the 5% that don’t?

It all comes down to confidence, the most determined mindset will prevail. I use an approach that sees me taking great joy and inspiration from the smallest increase in my Alexa rank. I will continue to strive to increase my Alexa rank on each site a little at a time. I recently installed a Firefox plug-in called “SEO Quake” essentially to monitor the blogs I visit and only post comments on the sites that will help my ranking. Once installed I realized it has a secondary purpose that I really take a lot of inspiration from – the ability to instantly display my Alexa rank, PR, number of backlinks and heaps more. I recommend this free plug-in to help with your inspiration if you are struggling with the motivation to continue with internet marketing.
