Somewhere along the line, one does get
lost if you do not have any internet knowledge of what you are doing
-e.g. terminologies
I think that is a great question. It is so easy to get caught up in
the massive amount of knowledge that is floating around. If you are
like me, you get many emails everyday touting the latest newest best
program for getting rich online.
If you want to learn about getting started online and you go
surfing, you can spend hours, download thousands of pages of
information, read it all, and not be any further along than you were
when you started looking for information. You literally get lost in
the avalanche of information.
I advocate the KISS principle - keep it simple,
stupid.
I believe there are two legitimate
ways to make money online: Create your own product and sell it, or
find someone else's product and sell it.
Either way you have to sell. Period. No way around it.
You might ask about all the multi-level and pyramid and 'just invest
10 dollars and you will get millions in two weeks' programs.
Do you read scam? Move on. Do not pass
go. Spend your money on a dinner out.
To make real money online you must sell. Sell what you create or
sell what someone else creates. But you must sell. I really believe
that anyone that tells you differently is just downright not honest.
If you are just getting started, sell someone else's product.
Your game plan will look like this:
Start with just a squeeze page (web page with just a headline, 3
bullet points and an opt in box to collect names and emails)
Build a list.
Develop a relationship with your list. Teach them what you know,
however little it may be.
Recommend products to your list that you have used.
Once you have been building a list for awhile, and are comfortable
with it, and are regularly corresponding with it, begin to develop
your own product.
Once you have your own product, simply begin to promote it to your
list.
You may have noticed that I recommend starting with a list, rather
than a sales page. Remember, if you are selling something for
someone else, you do not need a sales page.
By the way, never send
traffic
directly to an affiliate site.
Always sign them up to your list first. That way you can send that
same traffic to the site multiple times. If you send them directly
to a web site, and they do not buy, you have lost whatever you spent
on traffic.
Some of you have asked about how to find honest products or programs
online.
If you are just getting started and need a comprehensive program
that doesn't cost $1500 to get started, I recommend Derrick
VanDyke's
Affiliate Cash Secrets.
There is nothing else on the market that I believe compares with the
Affiliate Cash Secrets Membership:
Derrick is one of the sharpest and most honest marketer on the net.
I genuine hope this information helps, and if you still have
questions on this topic, please send them to me.
