How To Make Money Online
I know you all want to jump right in and learn how to make money right? Well, a lot of what you read on this blog is not going to teach you that per se. Why not just jump into the ‘guts’ of the information needed to make money online? Why not skip the basics and just read the advanced stuff? Well, it’s entirely up to you, but the reason this blog is here is that it’s simply a matter of structure and it’s a solid structure that I’ve noticed 99% of all internet marketing wannabes are missing in their efforts (and why they’re not making any money online).
What I’m aiming to build in this entire blog is a blueprint for you to create an effective money making machine, so let’s take another machine and try to replicate how it’s put together.
The human body is the most magnificent machine ever created. It’s vastly complex and despite all of our advances in knowledge and technology the world over, it is still going to be a long time before we are going to be able to come close at replicating it in a laboratory or factory. In teaching you how to create a successful online business I’m going to use the analogy of the human body to get you started – and this is why I’m starting with the bare bones.
On top of our skeleton all the rest of the vital parts of the body are built and it is no doubt these parts that make the ‘human machine’ so remarkable. But they are just not able to function without the strength and support of the skeleton. Without them they would simply be a blob of dead tissue, blood and chemicals lying in a pool on the ground.
A lot of this blog is not intended to show you how to make money (although without it I highly doubt you will succeed with that goal). It is designed to help you understand how to put sufficient structure into your online marketing machine so that when you start adding the more meaty parts from the more advanced posts on this blog your machine will stand up, walk, talk and function effectively to make you a pile of money, fame, power and/or satisfaction – whatever it is you’re personally in this for.
Of all the people who are trying to make money online the vast majority (over 90%) are doing nothing more than reading and rejecting training materials and it’s not because the training materials aren’t good. It’s because they don’t want to be trained and don’t want to start an online business. These people want to make money online, but they want it a particular way. They want the proverbial Holy Grail – a get rich quick scheme that actually works. Problem is, like the mythical fountain of eternal youth, it exists only in fairytales.
While on their quest, these people will at some time do one of two things: give up their dream of making money online, or start doing something productive towards achieving their dream themselves, through the application of what they’ve learned, some hard work (time), a little money and some good old fashioned commitment.
A word of wisdom if you do want to make money online…
If you are in the group of people I’ve just described (and there’s a 90% chance you are), I hope as you read this blog you will have made one of the choices above – either one, it doesn’t matter – just stop floundering around online looking for instant riches. For those who choose to do something about achieving their dreams, the moment you do so, the moment you put up your first website, start your first blog, register your first domain name or start your first marketing campaign, you will from that moment on forever be out of the 90%. There will be no going back, only onwards and upwards.
I like to think of the various stages of online businesses as four rooms. The first room (the 90%) is the only room you can enter from the street. Once you’re in the room you can either go back outside, or you can go to room 2, which leads to room 3, which leads to room 4. You just have to find the keys to the doors that lead onwards. Room number 2 makes up about 9% of people trying to ‘make money online’. It is a group of part-time income earners and the sad truth is that the majority of these are either making virtually no money at all, or spending more than they make each month. It’s the purpose of this report to help you get through or out of this group FAST. If you are making a profit online each month I applaud you. Perhaps we can work together to get you into room number 3 (full-time income earners – less than 1%) or room number 4 (gurus, or super affiliates – less than 0.01%).
The keys to the doors represent the level of commitment and discipline you are willing to put into your business
If you choose to do something about going after your online business dreams – whether it’s to go from the 90% to the 9%, or from the 1% to the 0.01% – then you’ve started on a journey that can only end in success or failure. I know the result you would rather achieve! If you are ready then I’m extremely excited because I’m about to show you step-by-step how to not just open the doors, but break down the walls that separate the four rooms.
I’ve found in this industry that what has been more exciting for me than anything else is that once you work out how to make money online, even if it is just a consistent $1 per month, you can very quickly scale up and turn that $1 into $10, $100, $1000 and then $10,000 and $100,000 per month. This is why online businesses more often than not either fail or succeed exceptionally well. There are not many who stay in the middle ground.
If you follow these proven methods then you can start making money online, literally propel yourself into the top 1% within months and start scratching at the heels of the super-affiliates.
Making money online is the dream of a lot of every-day people. Not that I’m saying you’re ‘ordinary’. I’ve no doubt you’re someone who is going places. To make money online you’re probably going to start with a couple of hours a week, a simple website and a few dollars here and there and gradually build your online empire.
As you learn the ropes and develop your ability to discern what people want to buy and how to promote your offers to them you’re going to be able to ramp-up your ability to turn your ideas into profit and start making money online. This is where the serious money can be earned.
This blog is aimed at giving you some great information that can help you to grow your efforts quickly and start turning a small profit into a large return in no time at all. Making money online is a heck of a lot of fun when you can do it – very frustrating when you can’t.
This blog is particularly aimed at people who are working full-time, or are otherwise unable to commit more than a few hours to their business each week, but it also applies equally to anyone willing to go into it full-time.
One of the defining characteristics of my personality is that I’m ambitious.
If you’re anything like me you probably want to get somewhere impressive and get there as fast as you possibly can. Learning to make money online is one way to achieve this ambition, but be warned. While internet marketing is not rocket science it is demanding of your time and requires discipline and patience.
The problem is there are relatively few short-cuts in this business. You need to follow proven techniques to researching and promoting to your target market. You also need to have sufficient systems in place to sell profitably and track your sales.
As an internet marketer myself I’ve encountered a lot of frustrations as I’ve developed my marketing strategies and put them into practice making money online. The biggest frustration I’ve discovered is that there never seems to be enough time to do what I envision with my campaigns. I also struggle with the huge amount of choice available – niches, methods and even ideas that I come up with.
Particularly in the beginning, when you’ve got limited time, opportunities and money it’s sometimes difficult to make all the progress you’d like.
I used to be the general manager of a small designer furniture business in Australia. The company I worked for turns over approximately $3m a year and employs only five staff which used to include me. My role in the business required me to work about 60 hours a week. Sometimes I managed shorter weeks and I got good holidays, but I was responsible for supervising the work of everyone else in the business – then doing everything they didn’t.
It was while working in this position and with limited time available that I started to take internet marketing seriously part-time. With only limited hours and a tight budget I was able to build up a business that enabled me to quit my job and work on the internet from home full-time.
I started experimenting in online business long before this.
While I was at university I was selling a bunch of stuff on eBay and got hooked. I then started buying and selling a bit of extra stuff and was making a little money, but I also learned that there was a way to make even more money than the margin on the things I was auctioning.
This was my baptism into the world of internet marketing and I’ve enjoyed it since. At the start I was making $100 here and there but then I didn’t understand fully what was required to set up a complete internet marketing system. When I discovered what was really required my income quickly grew. For the next few months (after I stopped mucking around and started taking my system seriously) I actually made no money at all, but then I began to average about $1000 per month, then $2000 and now I earn en excess of $6,000 per month (profit) doing about 30 hours work a week.
I’m the kind of person who likes to ‘look’ at new information visually or imaginatively rather than simply read instructions. For this reason, and because I know there are a lot of you out there who are of the same persuasion, I’ve wanted to write an ebook about internet marketing that is different and does more than just explain a few strategies about the business.
My main ambition in starting this project is actually to inspire more people to reach for the 1%.
See, ‘making it’ in internet marketing is more about drive and ambition than finding the right strategy. If you have the desire and motivation, you’d invent strategies if you had to!
So, this blog is written to both left brain people (who like steps, lists and sequentialisms) while also appealing to right brained people (who like stories, pictures and ideas). This is why it may seem like I’m repeating myself at times. The information may be the same, but the way it is presented isn’t.
I don’t think you will have encountered a learning experience that can help you in your efforts towards making money online like this before.
