Slow down... take a deep breathe... just take ONE and thoroughly study it till it make sense, implement what you learn from that before you go to anything else.
Experience is the best teacher - and some people study themselves right out of it all, rather than just take a few small steps and learn as they go... It's kinda like riding a bike.
No matter how much you read about riding a bike, once you get on one, you still have to master the art of actually staying on it... .
It is all a huge learning curve as far as internet marketing goes, and NO ONE learned it overnight!

Yes, i agree.
Me too, have this kind of habit of reading a lot of info and tried to apply them at once. but realized that you might not learn the most important point of that kind of marketing methods.
It is best to slowly digest and apply the knowledge.

I think reading ebooks will help you a bit here and there. But you will mature only if you start doing by yourself. You experiment, you succeed sometimes fail and at the end of the day you learn.
This is what happened to me atleast.

Hi Irmy,
1. Define each main category of online marketing.
2. Learn a moderate amount about each component.
3. Put the theory into practice by experimenting with one or two free sites such as Squidoo or Blogger.
4. Monitor and tweak.
5. You'll know from experience what to study next. Study it.
6. Pick a paid hosting service and sign up. Learn everything you can about it and put your recent studies into practice. Monitor, tweak, repeat, learn more, implement, monitor, tweak, etc.

Information overload is one of the top reasons most newbies burn out. Trying to sift through the endless information out there on how to succeed online can be intimidating. Instead of taking a shotgun approach and trying to learn everything at once, try a more rifle approach where you focus on one or two things to learn before moving to something else.

That was an excellent illustration with the guns. Never thought of it like that. But that is what I did when I first started out. I read, read and read non-stop not letting it digest. I ended up confused and not remembering anything. I had to go back over everything and read it again because I missed some of the main points. So when I tried to apply it without the main points it just led to more confusion and frustration. So if you are going to make it then steady yourself and make sure you understand and have applied the information before moving on.
