And ... In the arena internet marketing, unfortunately, especially newbies to internet marketing, think that everything is for free and also think that everything needs to be for free !!!
I understand that they may be newbies to internet marketing, however, even such a newbie needs to understand that not everything comes for free.
The above explained newbiews, are the ones who never end up making money in internet marketing.
Why ? MINDSET. If one does not value other's time, then such a person will have no value for his or her own time.
Now, what has time got to do with things being free or not free ? Many of us are able to do what we do just because we have spent months, infact years in our respective internet marketing hustles and these months and years, is TIME. So, the value for any skill(s) / any talent(s), etc is directly related to all the TIME that goes into it and it is that TIME that needs to be perceived as somthing quite valuable.
It is sad to often see newbies expect EVERTHING for free. Yes, I do agree that certain things DO come for free. However, not everything comes for free.
If anyone is a newbie to internet marketing, then the FIRST STEP you need to take towards success, is to realize that not everything comes for free.
Next : When you expect something for free and you keep encountering only instances where that thing is not given for free, then you need to introspect and examine & analyze as to why that thing is not free. If you do that, then you would see some value in things. And when you see the beauty of value in things that do have value, you will have a proper mindset to proceed further.
If anyone is a newbie to internet marketing, then remember 1 thing. Success in internet marketing, mainly depends on one's MINDSET. If you do not have the proper MINDSET, then no matter even if you get the best possible resources that you require, you will not see success. And, this is a fact. Especially for freelance internet marketer, MINDSET is what matters the most.
And, for newbies to internet marketing, the first step you need to take, is to realize, understand and appreciate that not everyhting comes for free.
And, if you do not have even US$100 as a starting budget for internet marketing, then first look for a job in the brick & mortar world, work for a few months or even for a year, save as much money as you can and after that think of anything to do with internet marketing.
