Many internet forums have sad stories of internet marketers cashing in their chips early. If only they would have hung on a bit longer, success may have been around the next corner.

On the other hand you will read stories of how an internet marketer finally broke through and made it. Having gone through the fire they now emerge so much stronger and wiser for the experience.

Are you the internet marketer whose spouse is slamming around pots and pans mumbling out loud that it is time for a real job? Are your credit cards gone well over the limit? Is frustration a constant companion? The more you work the more it seems you are paddling upstream?

Do you keep trying or give up? And if you do keep trying, how can you know what will work best for you? What is the best use of the hours you have available to you, without your health suffering?

Here are a few tips to help you find your way through the maze.

Find Easiest Tasks And Outsource the Rest.

There are many ways to make money on the Internet, but most of them require you to know how to work with words and websites. When you are a beginner focus on working to your strengths.

For example, if you are a confident writer but a dud with the technical stuff, spend your time and money wisely. Use sites like Elance.com or Workaholics4Hire.com to find someone to do the things you find difficult.

Do not fall into the trap of spending a whole day trying to master something an expert could do in twenty minutes. Let the professionals work on the geeky stuff while you write your own sales copy and tweak articles to make them unique.

If you are not so hot with either words or the technical aspects you have a choice:

(a) you can pay others to do most of the work, while you come up with the ideas.

(b) you can invest time to teach yourself necessary skills.

The quickest road to burnout is trying to master everything at once. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself whatever training period you need.

Do Not Work Against Yourself

Once you have chosen the type of business that seems right for you (for example: creating niche products, or building content sites that will bring in money from AdSense and affiliate sales) your first step should be to create a checklist of necessary tasks.

What is the very first thing you need to do? What is the second? What is the third? Write them all down. Decide which tasks you will handle yourself, and which tasks you will hand over to others. Arrange these tasks in two separate lists.

If you are outsourcing certain tasks, find the professional who will be handling them and get things underway before you begin on your own list. This will give you a mental boost, because things are already happening.

Look back at your past experiences with approaching projects or new tasks, and decide which of the two following work patterns sounds most like you:

(a). You work best with a 'to do' list that challenges you, ticking off each task as it is completed.

(b). You become overwhelmed if you have too much on your list. You work best if you have just one task in front of you at a time.

Far too many new internet marketers panic at the sight of a long list of tasks. At the end of a day, if they have checked only three boxes out of twenty-seven, they panic. It all seems too much and paralysis begins to set in. Then comes disillusionment and another failed business.

If you know that this will be your reaction put your list away. Write out the very first task on a piece of paper and put that in front of you. That is all you have to accomplish, that one task.

For example, do not write down build a website as Item 1 on your to Do List. Break large tasks down into smaller jobs and focus on that. If your first task in building a website is to download the necessary software and install it on your computer write that down as one thing on your to do list.

Tackle one thing at a time. When it is completed to the best of your ability, lavish heaping doses of praise upon yourself. Act as if you are a new employee. You are in the probationary stage of getting to know how things operate in your work environment. Go easy on yourself. You would not overwhelm a brand new employee with work would you? Then do not do it to yourself.
