There are a lot of us wanting to make money online, but it seems to take a lot longer than it should. I have a theory why and some of it comes down to keyword tools.

So you might be thinking I’m about to share with you the latest, greatest, beat all your competition hands down keyword tool right? Well sort of but not really. First of all let me get this out of the way; my number one keyword tool of choice is the FREE Google keyword tool. Ok, phew, aren’t you glad you don’t have to buy anything? Aren’t you glad you can just go use it and get started right away? Well I would say yes but would you?

There are so many keyword tools on the market I’ve simply lost count. This one is free in beta, that one is paid for the ‘works’, the other is free but it doesn’t do the job, another says this number, another says the opposite number. The amount of tools available has driven what I see as a ground swell of analysis paralysis. So many people are so busy analyzing all these available tools that nothing much is getting done and when nothing much gets done then there is not much money!

And this is not just limited to keyword tools. Yes there are a mountain of tools that can be of use to your online efforts, I’m not saying they aren’t good or even of great value, but try to keep yourself in check and get on with something rather than getting into analysis paralysis. You have to make a decision at some point about what you invest in, there isn’t a perfect solution, and not all tools suit everybody anyway.

What suits me the most is if it works and it’s free; Google has covered off my keyword tools checklist nicely and I highly recommend it. Many Internet marketers use the free Google keyword tool; remember just because something’s free doesn’t mean it’s not valuable.

Are you getting caught up in analysis paralysis?
