Learn Internet Marketing – The Secret Revealed
|
Yes Virginia, there is a secret to Internet Marketing. Those who understand the secret will eventually make money online, and those who don't will continually spend money (buying the latest 'how to make money' ebooks, videos, and reports)
Which category would you like to be in? Those who make money? Or those who keep spending money? I can't tell you how much money I've spent in buying various products that all but guaranteed me an instant mind-blowing income starting next week... I have a hard-drive filled with them (as, I'm sure, you probably do too!) Indeed, I've gotten quite good at guessing what the ebook will tell me based on what the sales page says... you learn to recognize the various techniques for earning money online... one fact you might not know – is that ALL of these methods work! Pick your poison, whether it's BUM Marketing, Adsense sites, Clickbank Affiliates, Amazon Affiliates, Ebay Affiliates, List creation, product creation, PPC, etc... they ALL work. Some are more difficult than others, some require more highly specialized knowledge (such as PPC), some are tedious (Article writing), but they all make money.
You probably know most of these methods, why aren't you making as much money as you want? Here's the secret – "You have to take action". In fact, I might even change that sentence to "You must fail in order to succeed". But if you aren't taking action – you aren't failing. And if you aren't failing, you aren't learning what DOES work. If you aren't busy creating Internet real estate, and learning how to get eyeballs on your offers (affiliate or otherwise), then how can you expect people to be buying things – and making you a commission?
You'll see it time and time again – 'You must take action' – so when I label it a secret, I'm only doing so because few people seem to read this assertion and actually follow it. Stop buying lottery tickets, and start working. Buying a lottery ticket and buying the latest greatest "Make Thousands Starting Next Week" ebook have much in common – they give you a nice dream. It's great entertainment – but it's not money in your pocket. So stop buying them, and start spending some time every single day towards your goal.
Each night, before you fall asleep, ask yourself – what did I do today to further my goal of making money online? Did I write fresh articles? Did I spend any time backlinking one of my sites? Did I do keyword research for a new website project? If you can't answer affirmatively MOST days to this question – are you really serious about making extra money online?
I'm slowly improving how often I can answer 'Yes' to this question, and the connection between how much money I make every month with my online activities seems strangely tied to how often I can say 'Yes' each night to my question ... What did I do today to further my goal of making money online?
Set aside an hour a day, and make daily goals – each day you'll find X number of backlinks for your site (it doesn't have to be a huge number, I'm happy to find just 5 each day... I document them in an Excel Spreadsheet so I can go back in a few weeks to backlink another site...), you'll write one new article, you'll submit it to 5 article directories... of course, your goals depend on your chosen method of online earnings – but the secret is consistent action – stop jumping around to the next method when you didn't see any money for a few days or weeks – consistent long-term action is the secret that's the key.
Understandably, it's difficult – since we're used to receiving our pay for our work much faster in the offline world. Whatever work I do today – my employer will pay me for no less than 2 weeks from now... The online world is different, you may not see results for weeks, months... even a year away! You may not understand that you're about to learn from a failure, and failures pay off too – because the more failures you have, the more you can learn what doesn't work, the more quickly you can begin spending your daily online activities in ways that WILL pay off.
Once again – TAKE ACTION! That's the number one secret to online success... One more secret for you that took me a long time to learn – always ask the question – how am I going to get eyeballs? How am I going to get traffic? If you could somehow guarantee just .0000000001% of the daily Internet traffic, you can't help but become a millionaire online in your chosen business model. So always examine every method with an eye to answering the question – "How can I get traffic". Whether that traffic is for a list, a website, an affiliate offer, whatever – you must have traffic. But before you have that traffic, you have to take action... |
