Internet Marketing: You Can’t Charge for Everything

One of the biggest mistakes that early Internet Marketers encounter is when they attempt to charge for everything. With so much free information out there, until you have established your credentials as an expert, there isn’t too much money to be made out there if all you have is a website that is just asking people to buy, buy, buy. This is the information age, and people are looking for information. Be a source of information that people know that they can come to and find what they are looking for. I am not suggesting that you give away everything that you know nor am I advocating selling everything. Give them a taste of what you know. Give them free information that they can use. On down the road, you might put together an ebook that they will want to purchase.  The exact mix for you is something that you will have to work out for yourself.

Sometimes people read the online emails that they get telling you that you can earn $100,000 a month using Internet Marketing. Can you? Of course you can. But there is a learning curve that has to be encountered that will help you to get to  whatever your goals are for making money on the Internet. Don’t get your hopes all tied up in dreams of making vast fortunes without realizing that it will take hours upon hours of hard, dedicated work. Even the most successful Internet Marketers had to start somewhere. Just be sure to keep you dreams more on the realistic side.

There is nothing wrong about having big dreams, in fact, when you have a big dream, you are programming yourself for success. All too often, people don’t get their $1,000 a day in the first seven days and hang it up, often on the cusp of entering into a zone of success.

More later, stay tuned! Have a GREAT day!

The Key To Success In Making Money On The Internet: Belief

Somebody told me that it should be listed as a secret ingredient to success, but it doesn’t need to be a secret anylonger. It is true what is said when it is said “whether you believe you can, or you believe you can’t, you are right.” This is especially true with making money on the Internet. There is an unlimited supply of money out there waiting to align itself with you, but you have to believe.

There is strenth in the power of belief. First you have to transition from “like” to “belief”. What is that? Simple. Look at the difference in intensity of these two statements: “I would like to make a million dollars on the Internet” and “I believe I will make a million dollars on the Internet.” The first statement has a light, almost airy feeling about it. There is no conviction. If ou say that to somebody else they will just smile and dismiss you and not think that you are well on your way to have a million dollars in your banking account.

The second statement, however, carries a certain amount of conviction with it. There is a definite-ness to that. People will be more apt to take you seriously if you utter that statement. Subconsciously, you start to attact things that will draw you closer to that goal and make it more of a reality.

This is not just about making money on the Internet, but it can have applications to any area of your life. Stay tuned for further details as there is so much to say and so little space in which to say it!

Have a GREAT day!

It’s Not Called The Information “Super”Highway For No Reason

That’s because there is a lot of traffic to be had out there.  Some estimates put the estimate that there are 250 million people out there every day.  That’s MILLION.  Many people use it to find information about different topics.  Twenty-five years ago, you would have to go to the library, use the card catalog, search up and down shelve, and, if you were lucky, find the answer to a pressing question.  Thank God times have changed.  Usually the answer (with the help of an Internet-connected computer) can be found in a matter of seconds. People will often be willing to pay for the information, especially if looking for a song, a book, an image.

That’s where you would come in.  Often people use Google to find what they need, but sometimes will just use the phrase with a www. in front and a .com at the end.  For example, if you were looking for sneakers, you could go to Google and put it into the search box, or you might open a browser and type in www.sneakers.com. You will find results both ways.  The key to having high traffic (and high $) is to have a good name.  You can find availability of names at GoDaddy and it might even produce a few tips for names.  Premium names may cost more, but there are plenty of names available for around $10 a year. 

Here are some ideas for creating traffic to your website (once a great name has been chosen and a hosting company selected)

• Create a blog – there are some great free tools available at WordPress. Blogging and posting on a regular basis helps also to have you ranked higher in the Google search engine.  Because so many use Google, it is important to be ranked high.
• PPC, or pay-per-click -  many of the search engines have the service available to advertise (you have seen them, the “ads by Google” or sponsored ads).  It works like this: You have an advertisement and you only pay when that ad is clicked.  The key is to create traffic.
• Let others know about it – This could be as easy as mentioning to your friends that you have a website.  Viral marketing is an exciting way to advertise and create traffic for very little investment.
• Read – there is a plethora of examples to be found on the Web, it just takes some investment of time.  The great thing is that you can do it on your time, you don’t have to go when the library is open. 

The library now is always open!  More traffic ideas to come in a few days!

A Bit of a Preview

To get ahead financially you essentially have to make more than you spend.  One of the ways is by saving money.  You can get ahead by making what salary you happen to be on (unless it is just minimum wage cleaning bathrooms in a call center, and yes I have done that).  You can get ahead by bettering yourself through conscious effort, going back to school, working toward a promotion, etc. 

One thing that has exploded in popularity is internet marketing, finding a niche and coming up with a solution to meet that niche’s particular desires.  I know you have seen the emails saying that you can make $1,000 a day using Internet Marketing and Sales.  Can you?  Of course.  Will you?  Not without a lot of hard work.  And there is nothing wrong with hard work.  I have been there and I have explored some of the hype andd found that some of it is true, but there is also a lot of untruth out there.  A lot of it boils down to desire. 

There is a difference in stating that you’d like to have more money and stating that you will have more money.  Feel the difference?  One has a whimsical feeling to it while the second has a air of definitiveness of purpose.  I will be sharing with you in the soon-to-be-here future what has worked for me and what may work for you.  I will keep it real.  Those who knew me a generation ago will recall that I was a teacher, but there was more to life than the subject which I taught.  I knew that, and they knew that I knew that as well.  I am still a teacher, just allow me to open your eyes and teach you as well.
