The Truth About Internet Marketing

 

Believe it or not I get emails like this all the time. People are broke, hurt, need money yesterday, don’t know scratch about internet marketing. Here is the truth. Internet marketing is a skill, a new trade. You have to learn the basics. There is no such thing as easy money. You have to learn this new profession and it takes time. I believe it is a profession that is well worth the time and effort.

The first thing you need to do is learn how to make a basic website. Nothing complicated just a simple web page. It can be white background with blue links. Ironically this is what usually sells best, simple. Check out the web design on Google.com or Paypal. Very simple.

Next you need to learn how to use an ftp program and how to reserve your own domain name and get your own web hosting account for YOUR own website.

If is very hard to make money with all these generic self replicated websites. I CAN but you can’t. Do you know why? Because I already have my own sites and lists that I have built up over years or hard work. The point is that my websites drive traffic to the affiliate offers.

Once you have your website you need to have an autoresponder system like Getresponse or Aweber. You need to build your own list. This is critical.

I am not going to explain all of this because you can do searches on Google for “how to….” anything and find tons of info. If you are not willing to do this much research on your new profession then you will never make it anyway. Nobody every showed me anything. I learned it all by screwing up. However, I am trying to point you in the right direction.

The most important characteristic for an internet marketer is persistence. I have had so many failures that is has almost become normal to fail. I just keep going and going. You have to be hard headed. If you get frustrated easily and give up you will not make it.

Here is a tip on how to beat the big guys. Put your phone number on your website and answer the phone yourself. The one thing the big guys cannot provide is personal service. Whatever you decide to sell make sure people can actually talk to you about it on the phone and give them top notch personal service. You will whip guru butt big time with this!

You might consider selling larger ticket items and services on the phone. I just got this Magicjack phone and it works perfectly. It plugs into your usb port with a $19. Radio Shack phone and costs next to nothing per year for unlimited Canada and US calls. Hey, if you are broke think of something to sell and start calling people. I used to work in a telemarketing room and we made 300 calls per day. You are bound to sell something.

I know this is kind of hardcore but I think you should know the truth. Everyone else is telling you that internet marketing is easy, just plug in and it is all automatic, make money 15 minutes from now etc. Yes, it is true if you are like me with established websites and traffic but if you are just starting you need to start where we did and build up. The good news is that if you are willing to work hard and learn there are unlimited opportunities in this field. It is very exciting.

Good luck,

After a career as a professional musician and band leader in the Miami South Florida Area I decided to see if I could make some money with this new internet thing. After years of trial and error I started to get the hang of it and now I am completely financially independent because of my various online businesses. The goal of this blog is to chronicle my continued marketing experiences. I focus on real examples of what works and what does not work. Google does not give us a recipe for getting our sites ranked. We have to use our own experiences to see what actually works rather than theory. I hope you enjoy the blog. Please let us know what you think in the comments area. We appreciate your feedback.
