You Can DO This!
Does making money on the web sound good to you? If you are a true beginner with little knowledge of the internet markets you have quite a bit to learn. But it’s interesting and if you follow a good plan it can be VERY lucrative.
Here’s what I see when I look at internet marketing and I’ll bet it’s similar to what you see.
First - there is no boss. You are the boss! You get to set your own hours and work when you want. This is commonly worked at right in the home and you can dress any way you want.
Sometimes I work down at the coffee shop a few blocks from home just because it’s kind of fun. I see other people, rushing around, and I see the business meetings with real estate people or insurance types and I am SO thankful I don’t have to meet a schedule.
Second - it also costs very little to do this. It will cost $100 to $200 dollars to get a good start…BUT…if you follow the right plan, and you don’t allow distractions, you can make that back in the first month.
Third - it’s easy to learn internet marketing if you have the basics ready.
The basics are a computer with a good internet connection. You do have to be able to write and read, and do basic arithmetic. That describes a lot of us.
Wouldn’t it be great if you had a little web site set up that spun off some income on a daily, weekly and monthly basis? That is just how most affiliate marketers make their money.
Affiliate marketing is the segment of internet marketing in which “affiliates” (that would be you) sell products for the people who produce them and get a commission for doing so.
Unlike offline commission endeavors the commissions are lots higher in percentage terms than they typically are offline, like at cars sales or real estate sales.
There’s a bundle of money to be made and it runs 24/7 year around.
Get Ranked!
This business should be approached in three stages. The first stage will be getting acclimated to the new world you’ll be in.
First – In this stage, don’t buy anything. It would probably be a mistake.
I strongly recommend that you spend a few weeks just getting used to the terms and expressions and some of the more technical aspects of online marketing, such as setting up your first website. In spite of what you hear, it is necessary to have your first site. the web site is where you put your offer!
At first just put anything you want on your site. Get used to putting words and pictures on it. Don’t be shy. No one will see it. In this stage you’ll learn a LOT.
You can go to Squidoo and have your first, rudimentary site set up that day. For free! That also includes the domain name for free.
Second - This is when you want to start familiarizing yourself with the different types of offers that are out there available for you to sell. The whole world is your market and you should see this as fun. If it doesn’t seem interesting and fun to you, this may not be for you.
There are all kinds of offers to sell on the web, but the highest popularity offers are the ones that solve a genuine problem for the prospective buyer. Here’s some examples…
A good acne cure for a person who wants to get rid of acne is a great example.
An ebook with a golfing “slice” remedy for the golfer who hates his troublesome slice.
A program showing how to make money online for people who want to earn money and work at home.
Third - After getting used to the jargon and the “lay-of-the-land” and becoming used to the various offers available, we move to the third stage of learning.
And that stage is “How To Drive Traffic To Your Offer.” This is the real work and what causes it all to happen.
This is the reason you don’t start out getting rich. You start out slowly, learning how to do it, and sending traffic to your offers. In the beginning, the traffic you get may not be good enough, but then it gets better and you’re on your way.
The ways of generating traffic are as varied as the offers themselves.
Just as you are first showing your offers to your traffic, a sale will occur and the way you see this thing will change, and change permanently.
Because, up until the first sale, this is all a study in methodology and not the practical harvesting of cash that you want it to be.
But you CAN get there as long as you want to. As LONG as you do it in these three stages AND you keep this timeless formula in mind. Offer + Traffic = Sales.
Thank you!
