And when you look at their internet marketing strategy, it's no surprise.

Yet, they all fall into a classic trap that can ruin your chances of online success before you even get off ground.

Have you heard about ultimate short-cut to success?

Ultimate short-cut? That's right.

Many are led to believe that this is holy grail of marketing online.

But, if this is your idea of a perfect internet marketing strategy, think again.

Here's how it works...

It's easy. Create a crappy product and contact every 'sap' who has an opt-in list of 40,000 subscribers or a website that gets a few hundred hits a day. Then ask them all to promote your stuff.

Works like a charm, doesn't it?

If you've ever been on other end of inbox, you know how annoying this can be.

Some person who sends you 12 emails out of blue, asking (begging) you to endorse his/her product.

For example, I recently received a similar email from someone asking me to promote an MLM product to my subscribers and customers.

First off, email was clearly a cut-and-paste job. It might have started with "Dear Jason", but rest was a boiler plate email.

A big no-no when trying to get someone's attention and win them over.

And what about product?

For all I know, product might have been white hot. But, MLM is furthest thing from my subscribers minds. Not all of them, but I'll bet at least 90% of them.

The problem here?

One word: targeting

My subscribers and customers are not ideal target market for this particular product. If I start promoting MLM, I might as well squeeze in a "how to pick a winning stock" mailing as well.

Unfortunately, you will also see this "spray-and-pray" internet marketing strategy in other areas.

Let me give you an example.

Have you ever received an article on a topic that was no where near what you (or your subscribers/customers) are interest in?

Or, have you ever been asked to review a product that was about "snake breeding" or something way off in left field?

Have you ever received an email asking you to buy a drug that you have absolutely no use for?

The same rule applies: targeting

My advise? To really nail down your internet marketing strategy and hit pavement running, here's a shortlist of things to consider.
