When you just get started online, it’s tough…you have a lot to learn and you don’t even know the questions to ask.  I know, I’ve been there.  I was willing to just ask a lot of questions (some were really, really dumb) and I usually asked the smartest people I could find.

Here’s a few of the most common mistakes so you can avoid them and get started right:

Do NOT use FREE email addresses…no hotmail, no yahoo, no gmail.  It doesn’t give you any credibility and if you want to make money online…You don’t want to look like your broke!  Free email addresses don’t cut it!  Even aol usernames keep you anonymous.  Unless it is really descriptive of you and part of who you are online, change the aol username!

Here are five things you should be aware of in 2008 to capitalize on as much MLM profit as you can:

• The internet market is huge. But YOUR market is actually very small. In general, all niche markets on the internet are very competitive. New marketers are popping out like mushrooms with amazing products to be offered and they’ll win the game.  You’ll need to brand yourself in your market because it will be the same JV partners, forums, search engine rankings, etc that your competitor will go after.
