Internet marketing is deffinitely not a stroll in the park!!
It takes a lot of hard work, studying, learning, applying to succeed and even then it takes time.
I started my business in October 2007 and am reaping the rewards now, after working day and night for the 1st 6 months.
I use article marketing, seo, blogging, classified ads, directory subs, forum participation, traffic exchanges, blog commenting and more.
Dedication, time and hard work pays off in the end.

You need to remember that we were all new once and yes I really don't think anyone can say they have never felt this before. If they did I would really doubt it to begin with, I think we have all been there before.

I have felt exactly the same frustration at times. There are so many elements to a successful online marketing business, and learning too many things at once can be overwhelming.
One thing that really helps me is to make a list of my short term goals, schedule and prioritize them. I found I was spending hours surfing accomplishing nothing until I did this. Consider making several easy short term goals for yourself over the next month.
When you set many realistic small goals and accomplish them you may feel better about your progress!
Cheers

Yes, Yes, and yes!! I am a newbie also and if it wasn't for my husband, i would have thrown my computer out the window on the first day! I researched for days about Home Based Businesses and i NEVER thought it would be so hard, but honestly, EVERYTHING is hard until you learn it! Then it becomes second nature. I am also a perfectionist, which is even harder because i never think what i'm doing is good enough. So, i feel your pain! The best advice i can give you is try to find a Home Based Business that is geared more for the novice. After days of deliberation, i settled on My Online Income System. I needed something that was actually going to walk me through, day by day, and hold my hand, so to speak. I've been in it a little over a month now, and although i do get frustrated, I'm hanging in there. There is so much information to learn, but i make it a point not to get ahead of myself. I take each day as i personal challenge! When i finally "get" something that had me stumped, i get a real feeling of accomplishment! That makes it all worth it. I never realized there was so much information to learn about internet marketing. Thank God for these forums!! I am going to continue forward until i am successful! FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION. Good luck in your quest, and hang in there!

Finally, I am feeling good about a money making opportunity that I have gotten into. I am now in a business that provides the solution to the problems that I faced all summer. Like I posted earlier, free classified ads didn't work for me, craigslist was a joke, and I don't know a whole lot about pay per click ads. So, I joined into a business in which the leads would contact me. It's great! I voice broadcast my opportunity to a list of leads, and those who are interested contact me back. The best thing, is that the opportunity to earn money begins with the first sale! This is a tool that every internet marketer needs to put into their arsenal. Check out my website and see for yourself. Join a webinar or conference call to learn more. The opportunity is one that shouldn't be passed up!

I think the most important ingredient for success is FOCUS. And it's so hard to have 'focus' in today's world. We have 100 things competing for our attention every hour. If each of us were locked in a room for two hours each day with four white walls, and were allowed to do nothing those two hours other than invest time in our online business, we'd be making a lot more money a lot faster.
The thing is that you know it can work, but you also know that there are TONS of scams out there and there's always that little voice in the back of your mind that make you wonder if you're wasting your time.
It CAN work and indeed has a lot of potential. For most of us it just doesn't come fast enough. Being able to get to the point where you can make a livable income from your online efforts is the most important goal any of us can have. But, all too often we give up too soon or give in to the temptation to sit in front of the TV, etc...
