How to overcome your Fear in Internet Marketing

   Fear is a built-in defense mechanism we all have, it is designed to protect us form harm,. We fear the unknown, What is this happen and on and on. But if you are going to tackle the internet marketing world; and dream about making it BIG, that fear is the first and most important feeling you have to conquer!

• Learn to use fear as a motive:

   Look at it this way: If you are afraid of changing your web site design and have no idea what HTML stands for, That should give you the motive to learn about web design, not to be an expert by a long shot but if you know about it, you will not be afraid of it anymore. And as an added bonus you will be able to understand what your web designer is talking about (if you have one).

• Turn your fear into caution:

Easier said than done, I know; you really want to enter a joint venture with someone, you have your doubts (i.e Fears)

How you convert those fears into caution?

   By researching that joint venture first: How does it compare to others, how many people are in it already…etc, if you get into the habit of researching and learning first and jumping second; you are training your logic into seeing any red flags that might pop up. It is a tedious process and takes time to master but you are developing a new habit that comes handy when the next JV comes around!

• Set your Goals ABOVE your fears:

   And you will be forced to face and overcome them first, those goals will be a walk in the park afterwards. Aim high if you want to be a fighter jet pilot (your goal) but get rid of Fear of heights ( your actual fear) and you are there. You are afraid of talking in public (your fear) and you want to be the one everybody asks for help and advice (your goal), you guessed it; you are not going to be that big shot unless you get over that fear.

• Write your fears down:

Sounds a little silly; Do you remember the monster under your bed when you were a kid?

   You tell everybody about it, it is still there; but the minute you write (or draw it): I have a monster under my bed, it transforms into definition, now your fear is known, you are pulling it right in the open. Now you can jot it down as a nonsense preventing you from sleeping. The same goes for any fear you have: Define it, Face it and move on to the next one.

• The good and bad list:

   You see them all over the net reviews; what is good and bad about this marketing product or that. You can use your own Bad/Good list to help you against your fears; here is an example: You are afraid of starting your own business online, write down the good things you are going to get out it like Being your own boss, having more time to yourself and your family…; AND the bad things you will encounter when you are there. You know what? those bad things are your fears in person! It is another way of defining your fears: you wrote them down!

• Look for support:

” No man is an Island ” … How true!

   Online Socializing is so successful those days due to this fact; you can tap into it almost immediately, find and go to your marketing niche forums, ask questions and post what you know. In no time, you will have your own support group that you can turn to if you need advice (or give one) and most of all; you have someone to talk to about your fears.

   Remember that you are you own worst enemy, and that only you can change your own self to get past any obstacles in your way, whether you fear them or not!
