Mistake #1: Excessive Humility
Being humble is fine if you are a monk or teacher but it is a definite no-no if
you are in sales. At the end of the day Internet Marketing is all about sales,
and great sales people are not humble. Perhaps you are one of those
people who don’t really like to announce to the world that you are the best
or that your product is number one and think that the product will sell on its
own merits. Well, you need to find someone to be your cheerleader.
As someone who owns their own company they need to live and breathe
their product. They need to be their own best advocates or their product
apostles. Marketing is all about self-promotion and promoting yourself is
the heart of internet marketing.

promotion later in this article. The average customer might not even know
about your product so aggressive marketing is all about telling everyone
about yourself.
