Hi everyone,
From your experience, what’s the most common mistake beginners make when starting in online marketing?
Is it chasing too many methods at once, expecting quick results, or not focusing enough on building real skills first?
I’m curious to hear what experienced members here have seen over the years and what advice you would give to someone just starting out.
Looking forward to your insights.

The "spray and pray" approach is the biggest mistake. You need to know the target audience before starting anything in internet marketing. Another mistake is expecting instant success and then many quit after a few weeks of not seeing results.
60% of global web traffic is now occurring on mobile devices, so neglecting mobile optimization is a blunder.

The biggest mistake is trying too many methods at once. Most beginners jump from SEO to ads to affiliate without mastering one. Pick one traffic source, learn it deeply, test consistently, and results usually come much faster.
