Are you Trying to Get Started Online and Don’t Know What to Do

Dear online entreprenuer,

Are you in the midst of trying to make something happen online and you are constantly failing to make anything back, what so ever… Maybe you are one of these people who click on banners for $0.01 and you are happy to recieve $1/week doing so…

Well what you do know in a case like this is how to refer somebody to join your affiliate link! This is a good start, but I assume that your methods are weak. This is a bold statement I know, but let me tell you that over 90% of people who are out there to make money online from clicking ads and things like that are making little or no money at all! Their methods of promoting are simply SPAM! STOP, don’t spam. Learn to market like a normal person for gods sake…

Let me tell you how to market!

Articles, for one is a way of marketing. Like this. This article you are reading right now is a great source for traffiic and affiliate sales. I am not spamming, I am not disturbing anybodies privacy.. I am teaching people how to make money. See, it is not that hard! What I am writing here is just my knowledge of many years in the field. Nothing else… If I can do this kind of marketing you can too. Don’t SPAM.

Another way to market is from Blogs. Do you own one already? Maybe you do. If you do, is it full of links to “click banner” sites or are you taking a shot in the dark and adding an affiliate link to some product that you are somewhere deep down inside hoping will make you money!? It doesn’t work like this! Let me tell you! Marketing is harder than it looks. It is also easy when you know how to do it. Don’t overpost in 100,000 blogs. Provide people with content! I have provided people with content for over 3 years and I have made a lot of money doing it. You should provide people with information that people want to read.

Now that you know what not to do. Let me tell you what to do instead!

Here is what you need to do in order to make money online:

INVEST. Yes that is right! You must put something in, in order to get something out. Well, this is not entirely true, but look at it this way. If you think that spamming a blog is free… Think again! How much time do you spend on this? Your investment is time… not money in this case. Well, what I am trying to say is that, if you spend hours spammin a forum or something similar you could as well spend it to build “your assets”.

What are my assets then!?

Your assets are things like a website, a list of customers a constant stream of multiple sources of income and a steady long term string of customers who trust you and want to know more from you because you can teach them what many other don’t. If you can cover all of these things you are bound for online marketing success! What you will need in order to get started is no doubt to invest. Either money or time. I strongly suggest you invest a little bit of both!

A list of what you will need in order to be successful on the internet:

#1 A group of buyers, or a market
#2 A product that can solve this markets needs
#3 A way to get people to see your offer (traffic)
#4 A way for you to keep and collect the contact information of these people so that you can sell to them again.
#5 Optionally a website that you can host your own website on.
#6 A mentor that can teach you and tell you what you are doing wrong and how to correct the mistakes.
#7 Money, Time and a good mindset!

I hope you understand what you will need in order to make it online these days. It is not as simple as spamming a “get paid to click” affiliate link in 100 forums for 2 hours each day. Spend that time to build your “empire”!
