So is 2010 going to be the year you finally crack the Internet Marketing code? Have you figured out enough of it to finally make the leap next year and start earning real money, instead of just pussy footing about with all the ideas you have in your head? Or maybe you think there isn’t even a code to crack and 2010 will be the year you decide to ‘get real’ and just give it all up as a waste of time?
The trouble is if you search for the internet marketing code, there are zillions of results, all of them different. Which one do you choose? Maybe you want to crack the Clickbank code, or the Adsense code, or the affiliate code…? Take your pick.
Or take a word of advice – don’t bother!
There isn’t any code that will help you earn money on the Internet. The only thing that will make you money is ‘work’. And that applies whether you’re looking to make it on the Internet or in a job. Of course, the ‘work’ is different if you do it online. You don’t have to put up with a boss telling you what to do, when to clock in, when to go home, when to take a break…
And that’s the problem. Unfortunately, far too many folks can’t boss themselves! If you can’t make yourself do what you have to do, then no secret code is going to do it for you. I don’t care how much you pay for it, or how successful the guru is that’s giving it to you, or how easy it is to learn, or anything else about it.
If you’re spending time looking for some secret to earning money online, then you’re not actually doing anything to earn that money. And it’s only when you actually get round to ‘doing the doing‘ that you start to see any results.
Do you know what stops you from actually earning money? The fact that you’re constantly looking for a better, easier, quicker way of doing it!
So you heard that ‘Twitter’ was the greatest thing for Internet Marketers. How hard can that be? Sign up, follow lots of people (who will follow you back of course), then tweet about every money making scheme you come across and they will all click your links and you will make a fortune. Maybe we should call that the ‘Twitter Code’?
You can just replace Twitter with whatever you choose. Wont’ make a blind bit of difference because none of them will work.
Here’s the real ‘code’.
Work your damn socks off. Quit searching for a quick fix, stop reading the garbage put out by the so called ‘experts’, learn some real skills that you can put to use, and then put them to use!
People often ask why I have such a high regard for Mike Dillard. And it’s because this is exactly what Mike teaches. He doesn’t have time for folks who want to be rich by next week without doing any work. Magnetic Sponsoring doesn’t make you rich just because you’ve bought it. It doesn’t even make you rich if you read it. Hell, why buy it then?
Because, like every other training course that’s worth studying, it will make you rich if you put it into action!
I’m telling you now those gurus, (Mike Dillard included), work every single day in order to keep the money rolling in. Their work may be different from the work they did when they started, but they work nevertheless. And if you want to be successful at Internet Marketing then you have to work at it as well.
So here’s the ‘Internet Marketing Code’ for you to crack in 2010. Are you ready?
- Decide once and for all which type of Internet business you’re going to get into. It doesn’t matter if it’s network marketing, affiiliate marketing, blogging, PPC…whatever. Just decide.
- Once you’ve decided, then check out what other folks are doing to make money in that area. So if you want to be an affiliate, learn from other affiliates. Notice how the successful affiliates don’t send visitors directly to a sales page. This means you have to learn how to pre-sell, and probably how to set up a website where you can do that pre-selling.
- Research! It might not be glamorous and its definitely not sexy, but its the backbone of any business. Is there a market that is ready to buy what you’re planning on offering? Do you know what keywords that market is using to find the products? Get it right and you’re more than 90% of the way there.
- Put your findings to use. Set up a website, not hard and WordPress is still the easiest and best tool for doing it. Plus its free so why pay for another tool that won’t be as good and will take you a whole lot longer to learn how to use?
- Visitors – the more the merrier, but only if they’re the right ones. Don’t be fooled by the hype that just getting traffic is enough for you to make money. You can send a million visitors a day to your site, but if they’re looking for steak and you’re selling chicken you won’t earn a thing. This is where your research pays off. If you’ve chosen the right keywords to go after, you’ll get the right visitors.
- Relationships – if there really was a secret code, this would be it. Building a relationship with your visitors means you get to know them and they get to know you. Know what they want and give it to them!
No doubt a lot of you will read this and think, “yeah right, what does she know”. But consider this.
Magnetic Sponsoring is the biggest selling training course on the Internet. And of all the folks who’ve bought it, who was the one person who managed to persuade some of the most successful owners of that course to spill their guts and provide ‘insider‘ information that isn’t available anywhere else?
Just as there aren’t any ‘get rich quick secrets‘, there isn’t a secret code to earning money online.
