We have been scammed time after time after time looking for ways to make money online haven't we? We believed in the get rich quick scams, we believed that if we stuffed enough envelopes that we'd get rich in a week didn't we? The reason so many people across the world fall victim to these scams is because there are so many of those scams out there. As a matter of fact, 97% of online opportunities are scams. I was laid off from 3 jobs throughout my career and if you've never been let go from a job before, trust me you don't want that feeling. It's a blow to your self esteem! This 2-Step blueprint will show you how to find the 3% that are legit and how to start in them today if you wanted to:

1.) With the power of the internet we are able to research just about anything out there. Use that to your advantage and research these different opportunities you hear about. Capitalize on other peoples success and learn from the rest of peoples mistakes. For 10 years I blindly jumped from program to program hoping and praying that this was “the” program that finally start making me my money. I didn't start seeing my success making money online until I took out a little bit of time to do some research. Don't go from program to program like I did, learn from my mistakes and follow what is already working for people.

2.) I will tell you right off the bat that the top ways to make money online are affiliate marketing (marketing other peoples products and getting paid) and buying and selling on ebay. Both techniques have a learning curve but once you pass that learning curve you will be set on owning your own online business for life.

I have experienced extreme lows while looking for work online because of the scams that I've come across and the feeling of hopelessness as if there was not a real way to work from home successfully. Now I am experiencing extreme highs as I have finally found that answer I've been looking for, and that answer is to be open to learn from those who are already successful. It feels real good to be able to provide for my family in the fashion that I like, and it also feels good just to have the ability to not have to work for someone else anymore. I make my own decisions, do what I want when I want, and best of all I schedule my own hours so I am on my time! Many programs teach you how to successfully buy and sell on E-bay and how to successfully promote other peoples products. If you take the time to learn from them, I guarantee you will be successful.

Smith's 2 Step Knife Sharpener

We have all heard a lot about web 2.0 and social networking. But this is not for everyone. People who don't have much computer skills, which could be a vast majority of the baby boomer generation, will fail at promoting their business in this manner.

So a good solution for the not so skilled home business owner is 2 step direct marketing. The method I will talk about here is with post cards, but there are many other ways to do this and others have used variations to this method with equally good results.

So what do I mean by 2 step marketing? Simply put, 2 step marketing is based on giving something away for free, or low cost, with the hope of getting something back in return. Marketers who charge a small fee believe this shows true investment and creates a higher level prospect.

In my example with post cards the process looks like this:

1. Create or have someone create a compelling post card giving just enough information about the product to get the prospect to take some sort of action. This is to simply invoke curiosity... not to give too much information about your backend product.

2. You can have the prospect call a phone number for additional information; sent them to a website to get more information or have them send away for a package of additional information. The idea here is to get someone to raise their hand and say I'm interested in what you have by providing you with their personal details. These are great business opportunity prospects and an excellent way to build a list.

3. Once you have provided them with the requested information don't stop there. If you haven't heard this before "the money is in the follow-up" so continually follow up. If you don't have an autoresponder, get one, this is the easiest way to follow up. Send them an email as often as necessary to create a relationship and remind them of your backend product. Don't just do hard selling here....

2 step marketing is a time tested marketing method and used by top guru's on the market today. This marketing strategy will produce targeted prospects for your home based business.
