It's not been without success. I've earned thousands of dollars in that time. But its still frustrating, very frustrating. I see what the big boys in internet marketing are earning and want to make the same huge amounts that they do!
So how do they do it? What is their secret? Where are you and I going wrong?
Well it's only recently that I suddenly saw the wood for the trees. The penny has dropped! I now understand what the top gurus are doing differently to the vast majority of "wannabe" internet marketers!
They do two things that most of us don't!
1. They invest more money and less time
2. They leverage the time and skills of others
It really is as simple as that. Most of us "wannabes" invest loads of our time instead of spending any cash, am I right?
For some reason we all believe we can make money online without investing any significant amounts of money. We believe the sales pages of other marketers that tell us that with a bit of search engine optimisation and by submitting a few articles, we'll start to earn money online.
So that's what we do. We spend hours writing articles that pull in hardly any traffic, and we spend hours on keyword density and mega tags and then wonder why the money doesn't simply pour in! In reality you will make some money from these tactics, but I'm telling you now it won't make you rich!
You would never start a business up in the real world and expect it to make you a millionaire without having to invest a lot of money into it. Well the virtual world is no different.
Do what successful entrepreneurs do. Invest your time in planning, researching and tracking results. Spend your money on outsourcing routine tasks such as content creation, link generation and professional copywrtiting services.
Start working in this way and your fortunes will change dramatically!
Why would you:
- Spend hours writing poorly researched articles that pull in little traffic
- Spend hours finding link partners when $50 gets you a PR5 one way link
- Spend hours uploading articles to individual directories when there are services that will submit to hundreds in minutes
- Spend hours writing sales copy when you're not a copywriter
- Spend hours researching keywords when there are automated tools
- Spend hours creating products when there are thousands of PLR and Resale products available
These are just a few examples of where the majority of us work differently from the top online marketers.
I've started to spend a lot more on outsourcing certain time consuming services and its already showing dividends, my traffic stats are climbing dramatically!
If you want to earn serious money online, you need to step back and put a financial plan together just as you would with an offline business. Invest some cash to grow your business and you'll definitely reap the rewards. Stick to the fundamentals of seo and traffic generation, but get someone else to do it for you!
It has been said that if you divide all the wealth in the world equally among all the inhabitants of the earth, the wealth would find its way back to where it originally was in the first place within 1 to 5 years.
This may seem impossible and unfair since you have always figured that if only you could get a head-start in life you would make a total success out of it ? You know, as soon as your ship comes in!
Although people with a background of wealth have a much higher chance of achieving their own financial success in life, the financial backing that is provided early on in life plays only a very small part in the road to early retirement.
So why does money seem to find its way to certain people while others are left to suffer their entire lives to get it. What is the secret to success?
The secret lies not in money as a tool but only as an end goal. Put differently the closely guarded secret to obtaining unimaginable wealth lies in the system used to create wealth rather than in wealth in the first place.
The richest people in the world don't spend every weekday from 8 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon working at an hourly rate. This should be common sense since there are only so many hours in a day and you are only one person, but then again common sense is not always so common. They have built systems that make them money while they are enjoying life on their yacht, playing golf with their friends at $1000 per hole (being cheap since it is only a friendly game!), or while they are off traveling the world with their loved ones and living life to its fullest. Heck, their systems are so good that they even make money while they are sleeping.
Making money online is a trend that has become extremely popular since it is ?easy?, yet it is surprising that a very small amount of people actually succeed with their online adventures to discovering how to get rich. This is because most people only hear half a truth, dive in to get money quickly and fail miserably.
There is a popular saying that says something about not reinventing the wheel. I'm sure if you try really hard to remember you will realize you have heard it a lot, but it would seem you have never quite grasped its significance until right now by reading this article. In plain language the old adage means that you do not have to spend years creating your own systems, when you can use other peoples systems that have been developed over generations. This is absolutely amazing news because it means you can use an idea that someone else has created, you might even improve it a bit, and that one idea that was not even yours can make you millions!
The same holds true for making money online. You take other peoples ideas that have been developed and perfected, implement it and let the dollars dollars roll in.
There are a lot of avenues that can generate you a ton a money on the internet, including but certainly not limited to:
1) Blogging
2) Selling other people products on websites that don't have to cost you anything (known more commonly as affiliate marketing)
3) Using major search engines to create mountains of cash (for example using google adsense or adwords).
4) High Yield Internet Programs (HYIP's)
5) Taking Online Surveys and Participating in Online Focus Groups
6) Making money with the internet giants like google adsense and google adwords
And many!
Most of the information you need to get started is freely available on the internet, givin by people who are experts and have already paved the way for others to follow using their systems. All you need to do to get started is the willingness to make lots of money online and something to buy with all the money you earn.
So what are you waiting for, get at it right now!
