If so, this article will explain to you, in detail, why you cannot seem to get to profitability in online money making.
There are 3 pretty hard and fast rules in this game:
1) People usually do not buy the very first time they see an offer
2) Pay per click DOES work
3) Without a mailing list - you are doomed to failure
Let's look at the firs rule first. People usually don't buy something the very first time they see it. While some do, there are not enough that do to risk a pay per click campaign on it.
There are many online products that tell you to buy pay per click ads and send people to their site. You are supposed to send them through your affiliate link so you will get credt and get paid for the sale.
Does this work? Yes. You will get sales.
Will you make money? Usually - No.
The problem is what the rule says: people don't buy the first time they see an offer. They need to see the offer over and over again and then they will buy.
If you are just taking a one shot approach, you are doomed to failure. See rule #3 for insight on this.
With that being said, Pay per click Advertising DOES work. But it only works for what it is actually designed to do - capture leads.
If you try to use it to present an offer to a prospect, they will usually not buy. It's a one time thing. They may click on your ad multiple times and THEN buy - but they almost never buy the first time.
If, on the other hand, you use pay per click to capture a lead by offering the prospect something free in exchange for their name and email address - then - pay per click almost always works. This assumes that you actually have a product that solves a problem that the prospect is having.
So - if you understand the importance of capturing leads and building a list to mail to - you have this online marketing thing figured out.
A list of prospects interested in what you have to offer is what online marketing is all about. You build this list over time by offering free products and free information that the prospect wants and craves.
Later, you can email your offer to the prospect over and over again so that they can see your offer time and time again. This can result in conversions as high as 10%. You WILL make money at this kind of conversion rate.
Give it a shot and prove me wrong - make money online!
There are so many books in the self help section of any bookstore you walk in. With so many resources it makes you wonder why there would be anyone left in this world who can not do what they set out to do.
You do your research and find out all you can about starting an online home business. You have found out so many things that you didn't know before about internet marketing and search engine optimization, your mind is brimming with ideas. And you just sit there. You ponder. You wonder. You plan. You goal set. You... Do you get the picture?
We have all been there haven't we? It reminds me of my grandmom. Grandmom made the most delicious biscuits on earth! One morning we were all anxiously waiting for those delicious biscuits to come out of the oven to eat them hot with butter and jam. The smell alone was making us crazy with anticipation of the delights to come. Oh man, we were slobbering! When the timer went off and they came out of the oven the biscuits looked nothing like Grandmom's usual biscuits. They were flat and firm. Everybody asked, "Grandma, what happened to your biscuits?What she said is burned in my memory. Grandmom answered, "It looks like they squatted to rise and got cooked in the squat!"
How many of us do that with our plans, our lives, our dreams? We have our dreams, we make our plans and then what? And then...they get cooked in the squat! At some point you come to the understanding that they don't look like what we set out to accomplish.
You can learn all there is to know about a particular subject. You can make plans for everything that you want. You can dream the most lofty of dreams and nothing, absolutely nothing will happen until you stand up out of your squat and do something about it. You won't know if your plans will work or not if you don't actually do them.
Even if you have taken the first step and started an online home business, do you find yourself coming up with excuses for not doing the things that you know will drive your business forward another notch? Those excuses you hear is fear talking.
For most people, just the act of dreaming about having something better for themselves and their family is all they need or want to satisfy that longing. For many people that is really all they want, a good feeling. It gives them a target to shoot for, even if they never pull the trigger, they do have that feeling, that hope that things will get brighter because they have the desire and the "plan."
Don't get cooked in the squat. You are capable of accomplishing your vision, your dream.
The solution is very simple. Stand up out of the squat...and Do Something!
