Introduction: The Top Ten Mistakes Information Marketers Make
Information marketing is in it's most basic definition “the process of selling informationâ€.
That sounds simple enough, right? But how exactly does that work in an internet-
based business?
Well, first of all, let's figure out what kind of information we're talking about here.
Typically, it's information that serves to educate and, hopefully solve a problem that a
potential customer is having.
For instance -
− Teaching a busy executive how to lose weight.
− Showing a single mom how to make more money.
− Helping a couple to avoid a divorce.
The information is typically delivered electronically (digitally) via eBooks, membership
sites, audio and video downloads. It’s a multi-billion-dollar industry, several times over,
and has generated millionaires such as Dan Kennedy, Yanik Silver, and Frank Kern, to
name just a few.
Why is information marketing appealing?
Entrepreneurs are drawn to the low barriers to entry, high profit margins, hands-off
management, and quick time-to-market. An information marketer can dream up a
product one day and release it overnight, seeing a return on their investment almost
immediately.
While it’s easy to become an information marketer, doing it successfully is another
matter. Many bright-eyed would-be millionaires dive into the market, hoping to
discover the fabled rivers of gold, much like the 49’ers in the Gold Rush of yore.
In this short report, I will share several of the common pitfalls that information
marketers can fall into, as well as provide tips as to how to become one of the lucky –
and hard-working – few who strike it rich.
