Now I know what you are thinking. Jesus hasn't physically walked the earth since the first century A.D. and the internet wasn't invented until the 20th century, let alone internet marketing, so how could Jesus have been a master internet marketer? Ok, ok, I am speculating a little bit. But if Jesus was physically here now He would have been a master internet marketer! Consider:

Jesus had a mission's statement or a goal

Jesus was focused

Jesus used freebies

Jesus had an affiliate program

Jesus used viral marketing

Jesus used awesome sale's copy

1 Jesus had a mission's statement or goal

We read in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of man (Jesus) is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Is that a mission's statement or what? Jesus knew exactly what His purpose on this earth was for. He

spent His entire adult life working to achieve that goal. It is imperative for an internet marketer to know exactly what he hopes to accomplish. Having a mission or a goal compels you to establish a direction or a plan to follow. Jesus did this. It was His plan to go to the cross to die for the sins of mankind. That was the purpose of His miracles, His teachings, and His presentation to the Jewish people as their Messiah.

Now your goal certainly won't be as lofty as that; nevertheless, you must still have a plan. For example, what if your goal was to have more free time with your family? How would you accomplish this? You certainly could not work for some other employer because they don't care about your wife and kids. They are concerned about what you can do for them. So you have to become self-employed! Now you must calculate how much money do you need to replace your income to ensure that your bills are being paid. Then you must decide what

is the best way to do that. Do I sell ebooks online, software, start a membership site, and etc. There are many different options that you can choose.

2. Jesus was focused

Everything that Jesus said and did was for the above stated mission-to redeem mankind. He did not allow Himself to become distracted. In Luke 9:51 it is recorded, "And it came to pass, when the time was come that He (Jesus) should be received up, He steadfastly set His face to Jerusalem." Remember, Christ was going to the cross to die a horrible death for you and me, and even though it wasn't something that you or I might look forward to, He was focused! Why, because He saw past the death, pain, and agony, He saw our redemption. When Christ sat in the company of sinners, He didn't see them as sinners, but as saints!

It is easy to get distracted! A friend calls, unexpected guests come over for a visit, and before you know it, the time that you set aside for internet marketing is already gone! You must remain focused. Look past the agonizing hours of reading and writing emails. Look past the tedious task of building your web site. Look past the exhausting hours of locating link partners. And look forward to the time that you will have with your family and the freedom to do whatever you desire to do!

3. Jesus used freebies

The freebies that Jesus used were His miracles. He did not use them boastfully, but for the purpose of confirming who He was and that His message and work was of His Father. These miracles were not some cheap hocus-pocus act, but were very valuable. He fed crowds of 5,000 plus when no one had any food, but a young lad who brought his lunch to hear Jesus teach. He gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, made the lame to walk again, and even raised the dead. No, these were not cheap giveme's, but valuable and many times necessary gifts!

Likewise, a master internet marketer will offer his subscribers and potential customers quality gifts that they can use. Ebooks, software, reports, and etc. I even have a friend who offers a free professional autoresponder service. The freebies offered should not be cheap out-of-date material, but valuable wealth-earning items. Remember, the quality of the freebie represent and confirms the quality of your message and product!

4. Jesus had an affiliate program

What do you mean Jesus had an affiliate program? What I mean is that Christ didn't do all the work. He didn't do all the teaching and all the preaching, nor all the miracles. At first He had ordained twelve men to spread His word and then seventy more. Jesus provided His affiliates with tools. He empowered

them to do miracles and to cast out demons in His name. He also offered in-

centives or rewards to them for faithfulness. Looking through the New Testament

there are five(5) crowns that can be won by His followers.

The same is true with exceptional Internet Marketers today. They realize that they can accomplish more and earn more money by having an affiliate program. The exceptional affiliate programs offer banners, text links, sample emails, and etc. to aid the affiliate. The exceptional netrepreneurs will offer incentives or rewards to their top performing affiliates!

5. Jesus used viral marketing.

After Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection He gave a commission to His disciples that they were to go throughout the world teaching, preaching, and baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Not only were they to win the unbeliever, but they were to teach them to do just the same!

The most effective way to reach a great number of people is to tell a first group and to have them pass the message on down the line, and so on, and so on. You may not be able to reach 1 million on your own, but you can reach 100, and they can reach 10,000, and then they can reach 1 million.

6. Jesus used awesome sale's copy

Jesus used awesome sale's copy when He taught. He frequently used parables which are nothing more than simple earthly stories with heavenly meanings. The stories were so simple that even a child could understand them. Not everyone accepted Jesus' teachings, but all understood to some degree what He was saying. Jesus always brought His hearers to a decision. Jesus gave His hearers quality content and not fluff. What the hearer decided about what he had heard determined the destiny of his eternal soul.

The master internet marketer will use stories and testimonies in his sale's copy. He will illustrate how the product or service that he is promoting will benefit the customer and he will bring them to a decision whether to buy or not to buy. He doesn't leave them hanging wondering what to do next. He offers them quality so that he will have repeat business.

Summary

Jesus had the attributes of a master internet marketer even though He did not own a computer, nor have access to the internet. Have you incorporated these 6 qualities into your online business? If not, do so today and watch your subscriber lists grow and your sales increase.
