I have a favour to ask of you...first, let me explain:

When I first starting Internet Marketing, I was SO overwhelmed and, to this day, I shake my head as to how I made it this far. As you all know, it's REALLY challenging when starting out.

Learning Internet Marketing lingo such as, Domain Name, url, SEO, upload, download, plugins, links, webhost... need I go on?

Then the real fun began...

Copy and Paste...are you kidding me! How the ____ do I do that. How about adding images to a blog, setting up a plugin, keyword research, blog descriptions, blog categories, facebook...I have to stop because I'm feeling anxious just typing this.

Anyway...

I'm trying to gather some data for a project I'm thinking about and I would love your help.

What I would like to ask of you is, would you list 3 things that stumped you the most when you first starting marketing online? This would be at the very beginning of your journey.

It could be, for example, getting your head around the meaning of webhosting, finding your way around the blog admin area, adding images to a blog...anything at all. Even the smallest of things.

Here are just A FEW of mine:

  • I had NO IDEA what a Domain name was.
  • What the heck is a Web Browsers.
  • How to save something to my cp...let alone finding it once it was saved.

Thanks, guys...I really appreciate your help!!!!

Hi Sandy.

1) What is a niche? Is my love of abc something I can make money from?
2) Why am I not getting signups? I've done 5 pages on my website now!!!
3) Is there anyone here really making an income from this?

I'm not asking these questions now - but they were probably top of my list when I first joined, and started the training.

All the best, Mark

Hi Sandy,

I think, being an Internet Marketer is always a challenge as we need to continuously learn and apply to stay ahead of time.

My three main challenges have always been:

1. How to get traffic
2. How to apply SEO
3. Writing quality and engaging content

No. 3 is still a little struggle for me. It got better, thanks to the trainings, but it's still pretty time consuming and frustrating at times.

I like the idea of your project. Let me know when it's live. :)

Keep up the good work.

Take care,
Nicole

Thanks for responding to my questions, Nicole.

Writing content is one of my challenges too. Writing a post takes a lot out of me. My dream is to write a great post in under an hour...can't see that happening any time soon.

I'm with you, the challenges are always going to there...making our successes all the more sweeter. :)

1- How to even begin to create a webpage, 2- SEO???? I know CEO, and 3- Sitemaps although, to be honest, it's still a little overwhelming. I get information overload everyday. ~Debbi

I hear you Debbi...there isn't a day that goes by without me saying, "now I have to learn this!!!".

Hello Sandy!! I think we all had some challenges and still may be holding on to a few. But to share let me say..
Building a website
Discovering the niche that would work
Generating Traffic

Hope this help you.

It absolutely helps...thanks so much.

I'm serious in love with your style of writing Sandy. You're sooo incredible. Your blogs are DEEP! But, on the topic of hair-pullers. Here are a few things that troubled me when I first got started:

1. Finding my niche - what best fits me...
2. SEO - like seriously what is this stuff?
3. Autoresponders - you got mail...
4. Webhosting - how does this connect to my website?

Yeahhh so those are just a few for me...

All the best Sandy,
Keane:)

Thanks Keane
Great list...that helps me a lot.
I never really thought that I would one day understand the makings of an internet business but...look at me now. lol
Thanks for responding to my question.

Was my pleasure to Sandy:). And yes, look at you now indeed!
Keep shining brightly as always,
Keane:)

3 Never know what affiliate marketing meant.

Me too...all these things are so familiar. Thanks for responding to my question.

I'm going by the most asked by newbies on here:

1 - What theme should I choose?
2 - How do I choose a niche?
3 - Choosing a domain name

Interesting...Thanks!

What is it with me and spelling the word Wealthy? It's the second post where I missed the L. I just type soooo fast. Not!

Not that I'm not still fairly confused about these things, but the 3 I had no idea at all before I joined WA and scared the daylights outta me:
1. keywords....what the...?
2. SEO
3. Niche marketing
Good luck Sandy, we are all here to help if we can :)
Peace
Jo
