The All Time Number One Secret to Making Money on the Internet Revealed Here! October 17, 2008
Posted by Riley West in : The Making of an Internet Marketer , 1 comment so farHello Folks:
Have you ever wondered why someone will sell you secrets to getting rich for a paltry sum? I have. Then, of course, I dismissed that thought as the demented musings of an out of control ebook buyer.
Yep. That’s me.
I hope it’s you, too, because I have some ebooks I’d like you to see!
You know, it seems to me that if it was a secret they wouldn’t tell you.
We don’t need secrets! We need facts!
We want hard core, tell me exactly how-to-do it, step by step type instruction.
Well, we have that available. There are so many good compilations of Internet Marketing (IM) information out there and that itself is a bit of a problem.
If I were to market it all as an affiliate there is no webpage big enough to put all the links on. Besides, who’d want it?
Still, There are a couple of books I’m going to recommend right in this post. This is in line with my policy of recommending only that which I have read and used or otherwise vetted thoroughly.
But first I want to tell you what I found to be the real key (not secret) to making things work.
Call it implementation. Just do it! Start near the beginning and stay on it till it’s done and tested and working! (note tested and working)
That’s right, work! But not just any kind of work. I do my best when I make a checklist for a project and just work down the list with the determination to get to the end.
Here’s how that’d go for me.
First I’d decide, through using it and testing it, that I want to offer the same thing that worked for me to you guys. Kind of a no brainer. But I can screw it up.
So I have to be methodical. I make my list. Works for any project. The one I’m showing you a bit of here was to make a working ebook sales site.
I get my sales page ready. There is often a hang up or two available right here. And…sure enough…the last time…
I got into a titanic clustercrunch over the paypal button. I just could not get it to work. I’m not exaggerating even a little when I say I tried and tried, got mad and kicked my chair and maybe cussed for at least 4 hours and had to give up!
I was worn out! I drank some beer, watched television and went to bed.
The next morning I came down to the friggin’ mess and sat down to do battle again with that crappy paypal “help” as they call it. I got nowhere.
Now, I know, for a fact that after a customer makes a purchase that you, the merchant, can assign a certain url to the “return to merchant” button. The customer will be whisked right to the download page where he can get his goodies.
(and a little more if you want to give them a pleasant surprise)(tip).
I checked my email and there was two messages from two IM guru types who I had emailed the day before when I was about to go nuts. You gotta love ‘em!
Boom. I had my fix and I could move on.
Now, I’m not going to have to waste a half day or more again on the blippin paypal button. But you can’t do without it! I HAD to fix it. A simple thing, like a hole, can sink a boat!
So now I could move again.
It felt like that time when I was sailing by Friday Harbor and got my keel stuck in sand. If it had been retractable I would have been ok. We were stuck there for quite a while before someone came along and tossed us a line.
We were under weigh again!
And, so will you be on your way again right after you work through your next barrier.
Here is one deal I ran across that solved several things for me AND provided me with something I could sell that everybody needs! 24hr
And, here’s a place I frequent where you can systematically learn that which you need, for the rest of your career, for a small, one time fee.
