Make Money Working Online

How many of us have always wanted to lead a lifestyle of our choice? - The dream of being our own boss, the flexibility of working with our underpants, sipping margarita at a beach, traveling world wide and spending more time with our family and friends.

But the reality is that more than 90% of Internet Marketers never take a vacation. In fact, they live a miserable life than people working on their full time jobs. At least the folks who have a day job don't worry about their work, once they come out of their desks, while we as Internet Marketers are constantly obsessed with our work with a million ideas popping out of our head.

These ideas however lack any value because they don't allow you to focus and rather act as distracters and second you just don't have enough time to test your ideas. If you are in a similar situation, know that you are not alone as there are millions of Internet Marketers and small business owners struggling with this problem- 'The Internet Marketing Crapmire Syndrome'.

I am a newbie in Internet Marketing on the lookout for the next biggest product that will make me both rich and famous. So I join forums, read blogs, look at what other fellow Internet Marketers are saying, to eventually find a well respected IM Guru who is "genuinely interested" in making me rich.

Now you see, I am not so dumb, I am not convinced yet. But let me check out his free report. So I opt-in to his list and boom, I have a link for an instant download for his free report.

You know what? This guy has blown my mind on how easily I can make money. I mean where was I all these days? How can I not see all that was going around me?

*****************************************************************
Did you know, you can make thousands of dollars every month via Adsense? And what's more this is so easy that even an 11 year old can do it. All you need to do is throw up a blog and put out some content and within weeks if not days, you will have Google sending you paychecks right to your doorstep.

Now this Genius Guru is so kind enough to reveal his killer tactic called "Google Arbitrage" where he shows how to hoodwink Google to extract money from them in his free report. Can you believe that? Honestly, How many Gurus would truly deliver such value to their customers? This is his way of telling me that he cares about me and wants me to succeed.

Now my genius brain starts thinking, 'Now if he has delivered so much quality content in his free report, how much more valuable his actual product would be?'

And I go around to check the buzz and the entire Internet Community is raving about the latest free report of this Guru.

Now, I will be a real fool to miss out on this product with so much buzz and positive word of mouth from the IM Community.

So let me buy this product,

*****************************************************************
But hey hold on,

Now that I have decided to buy the product, wouldn't it be nice to buy the product from the guy who offers the greatest bonuses?

Fantastic idea! So I join the lists of all the other IM Gurus to check out their cool bonuses.

Now there is a Guru X (remember he is different from the Genius Guru) who seems to be the clear winner in terms of offering bonuses,

Guru X is offering

1. Adwords Crusher that will crush your competitor's to pulp that they wouldn't know what hit them- Value $99
2. Blogger Dogger that will create automatic blog posts left, right and center that you will have hordes of traffic to your website- Beware of Server Crashes- Value $199
3. Craigslist Master Blaster that will post ads on Craigslist with our affiliate links in it- Value $299
4. Google Choker that will spill Google's guts out that they would be begging to give you cash endlessly- Value Priceless

*****************************************************************
Wait a minute, there seems to be a one time offer that Guru X is offering.

Let me check out his video.......

'My name is Guru X. Pay strict attention to what I say, because I choose my words carefully, and I never repeat myself.

I have told you my name. That's the 'who' The where could most readily be described as a prison cell. But there is a difference between being stuck in a tiny cell and being in prison. And I am not in prison. The 'what' is easy. Recently, I planned and set in motion events to execute the perfect cash robbery. That's also the 'when.' As for the 'why' beyond the obvious financial motivation, it's exceedingly simple. Because I can......

*****************************************************************
Wow, I think, this guy must be a genius.

The crux of the video is that Guru X has this "one time" offer of his product that would do wonders to my business and you know what I will not find this offer the next time, I visit his page and even if I do, there is no guarantee the price will be the same. In fact, the membership fee will be raised so high that we will be slapping my head, why I did not buy the product when it was so cheap before.

I end up buying his product when all I wanted to do was to grab his free bonus. Now I feel proud and happy that I made the right decision. And as soon as I download his e-book, I start reading it and wonder how brilliant this "Guru X" is.

First go to clickbank, look for the niche that has a good market- (remember we want buying customers), pick a product with the highest commission ( hey don't forget to check the "gravity"), do keyword research to target long tailed keywords so that you can be ranked quickly in Google, register a domain name relevant to your niche for SEO purposes, and build a review site making sure the product with the highest commission is ranked first. Now all you need to do is write articles, build Squidoo lens (by the way don't forget to bookmark your Squidoo lens because that brings traffic) and watch your sales go through the rooftop.

Wow awesome ideas- this IM Guru really knows what he is doing. Now I am all set to pick a niche to start dominating Google and before I go to clickbank.com, let me check my email- hey- I deserve a break after all,

*****************************************************************
There is a new mail in my inbox.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

I just read an email from a guy who was broke, a drunkard, a drug addict and a total loser who became an overnight millionaire through his "secret underground tactics" that he can't reveal to anyone because "Google" will be annoyed if they found out how he was tapping into their weaknesses.

Now he wants to be perfectly honest, because he cannot afford everybody in the market to find out about his "killer underground ninja tactics" so he is restricting his product to only 200 customers.

That's right- just 200. After that I will never hear about this product ever again. And the fact is that he expects his product to sell out within minutes if not seconds of him opening his doors to the public.

OMG! How can we afford to miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime.

*****************************************************************
Let me find out more about this product and offer before I can work on what I learned from the product that I just brought.

But you know what; I am not such a fool after all. I am going to do research on whether this guy's product is in fact worth it.

Wow- this guy must be the real deal indeed, he has a testimonial from Guru Tom, Guru Dick and Guru Harry who can vouch their life for this product because they have read it, implemented his strategies and skyrocketed their profits.

Let me do a Google search to confirm the same. Jeezzzzzzzzzz! there is such a buzz around this product that I must have been blind not to notice this one in the first place. Now before I start worrying about the cost of the product, let me get this straight, I know I just got a product, but you know what with this product I can easily make 10 times more. And now since I am getting this product, I want to make sure that I get the best value for it. Let me look at who is offering the best bonuses.

*****************************************************************
Guru Dick is offering his products more than $10,000 of value if I made a purchase through his link. See how clever I am? I am getting all this value for such a ridiculously low cost. I can't help, but feel proud of how I am making most of this special gift that God has blessed me to find the best bang for my buck.

Wait a minute, Guru Dick is no push over, he has a software that can generate automatic content for any given niche that mankind can think about. Now this seems interesting because if this works I need not spend hours and hours of time trying to write articles.

Great! Let me take a look at the price.

Ouchhhhhhhhhhh! It is a 4000$ software and because it is of top quality it cannot be cheap. You know what only 100 copies are going to be sold so before my competition buys it, I need to get my hands on this software.

But how can I afford so much money?

Hmmm, let me develop a plan. I can cancel my Blockbuster account, how about cable television? and maybe I can sell a few items in my garage on ebay.

By the way, didn't I see a great program online that teaches how to become a millionaire selling stuff on ebay?

Let me check that one out.........................

To best explain the commonly faced woes of an Internet Marketer, click on the link below. This could easily be the best video that you can ever hope to watch in your life.



Just to give you an introduction, the speaker is Rich Schefren  popularly known as the "Guru's Guru" in the Internet  Marketing Community. After watching this video, you will  precisely understand why he is called so. After watching this  video, I felt as if Rich was specifically addressing to me. Then I  headed straight to his website and eventually found that he  was offering free reports. After reading these reports, I felt  enlightened and angry.

Enlightened to know that there were so many things that I was plainly doing wrong and angry at the crap that was fed by the IM Guru Community.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO

Though I can blame the Gurus for having fed me with crap, I realized that I was still responsible for my current state of lack of success. After all, most of their products had good value and offered great tips but I did not have the time and the resources to implement it.

As strange as it might sound, I was more than willing to shell out hundreds of dollars on ebooks and thousands of dollars on coaching programs, but I wasn't too excited in even spending a percent of what I spent on membership programs and ebooks on taking action.

So much so that, I was hesitant in hiring article writers who were willing to work for 5 bucks for a 500 word article. In my brain, I was telling myself that it was a waste of money because I could do it- I could write articles, learn HTML to design websites, create graphics for my landing page, make videos etc. and so I would spend most of my time in all these activities which not surprisingly were not only draining but also highly ineffective.

What's worse, I found myself constantly in front of the computer working for long tedious hours, neglecting my health and shutting myself from my friends and family. And over a period of time, it only got worse and worse. I became a workaholic that did me more bad than good to my life. And trust me, you shouldn't be a workaholic and if being a workaholic makes you proud and effective, you should seriously reconsider it.

Studies have shown that our bodies need rest to reenergize and recharge our batteries. Having a good sleep, taking healthy foods, exercising regularly, resorting to fun activities and spending time with family and friends are not only good for your mind and body but also highly effective because it helps you focus better and get things done quickly.

So here is an important lesson for you to take home.

- Buying ebooks won't make you money.
- Enrolling in coaching programs won't make you money.
- Watching video tutorials won't make you money
- Learning new tricks and strategies won't make you money

Only taking action will make you money.

And before you spend your next dollar on the next greatest product that you are sucked into, ask yourself, "What ways can I spend that money to get work done"- for example, how many articles can you get written for that money, how much research can you get done with that money and how many action items can be cleared off your desk with that money.

So this should be your new rule- "I am not going to purchase any new products or enroll into any new lists unless, I make sufficient money that will allow me to buy that new product or course."

By having this goal, you will literally force yourself to first earn money to pay off for the new product and second, you will be careful in making sure that the product you buy is in fact worth the investment.

First, assess yourself and ask yourself what you want to do with Internet Marketing.

1. Is Internet Marketing a business for you or do you treat it as a hobby?
2. Do you want to earn a full time income or are you interested in making a side income to supplement your day job earnings?
3. What level of Internet Marketing are you in?- Are you a newbie, or an intermediate or an advanced Internet Marketer.

It is crucial before you take the next step to answer these questions, because these questions will help you make or break your business.

Remember, half assed efforts will always yield half assed results.

In other words, if you treat Internet Marketing as a hobby, expect hobby-like results. But if you treat it like a business, then think like a business man.

So instead of thinking, how can I do these things, ask yourself, how can I get these things done most efficiently and quickly. And that would mean outsourcing most of your tasks while you concentrate on the overall strategies of your business.

I strongly recommend you to listen to Jon Jonas call on "How to replace yourself"

REPLACE YOURSELF CALL

In Internet Marketing, you not only have the luxury of failing, but you also have the comfort of failing without hurting your business much. Pretty much anything that you do online can be tested and tracked, so without spending a lot of money, you can find out if your new strategy is working or failing.

Here is the key, to be quickly successful in Internet Marketing, double your failure rate. So the best things to do are to take lots of action, fail fast and learn from failure. Do more of the things that bring in the revenue and do the opposite of the things that are failing.

Level 1: Newbies- No Budget

Thirty Day Challenge- If you are a newbie and you are just getting started and have no clue about Internet Marketing nor can you afford to spend a penny, I strongly recommend you to join the "Thirty Day Challenge." It is a free online course by Ed Dale and walks you step-by-step on everything that you need to know to get a solid understanding of Internet Marketing and the best part is that without a single dime investment, he shows you how you can make your first dollar online.

Level 1: Very Limited Budget

Wealthy Affiliate or Profit Lance- If you are contemplating on joining a program that is slightly more comprehensive with better mentoring and coaching, consider joining Wealthy Affiliate or Profit Lance. Both these programs are very reasonably priced, offer good value for the money and more importantly you can find a very good support system. And before you hurry on to "Google" to find out which program is better, let me tell you that you will find reviews favorable to both these programs.

Click here for a comprehensive Wealthy Affiliate Review

Now you have to understand that you will find takers and haters for both these programs and probably for any program online. While there have been successful members from both these programs; there have also been members who complained about these programs. So it ultimately boils down to you and what you are capable of doing. Successful members in any program take action, while the failed ones resorted to merely learning and don't take any action for the fear of failure which eventually leads of failure.

At the time of writing, Profit Lance costs a one time fee of $97 with a 8 week money back guarantee, while Wealthy Affiliate is a membership site that costs you $ 39.00 every month. Because I have not purchased Profit Lance, it wouldn't be wise on my part to comment on it, but I have been a member of Wealthy Affiliate and best value I get from the program is the very friendly forum community where you will find helpful shoulders to cry over your frustrations and open arms to rejoice your accomplishments.

Level 1: Limited Budget

Traffic Secrets - I was seriously contemplating on whether I should include Traffic Secrets in the Level 1 category, but at last I decided to include it in Level 1 because of John Reese's iconic status. Now what John has done here is simply phenomenal because he has offered a very comprehensive home based Internet Marketing coaching program at a very reasonable price of $397.

Now for some, it may be way too highly priced and even I was feeling the pinch when I was contemplating on buying Traffic Secrets. But what compelled me to go for it were the following facts

- John Reese
- Grandfathered for Life which includes Lifetime Course Updates and Lifetime Community Access
- The original Traffic Secrets course.


Traffic Secrets 1.0. was sold for $997 whereas the new Traffic Secrets is sold to less than half of it's original price (plus I would have free access to Traffic Secrets 1.0.)

So I thought what the hell and I order his course. Now I am glad that I did because the content that he offers in this course is very solid and strategic.

Level 1: Products

Domain and Webhosting: Whether you have no budget or a limited budget, there are some products that you just need to have simply because they are so vital to your business. If you are serious about Internet Marketing or building a business online, you definitely should have a website. While it is true you can start out with a blog- Blogger or Wordpress, you also want to realize that you never want your business to rely on a service that you cannot control or claim proprietorship.




You can find cheap domains and the best webhosting services at Hostgator and I strongly recommend Hostgator for their excellent customer service.

Level 2: Products

Opt-in Service: As soon as you understand the nuts and bolts of Internet Marketing, you will realize the importance of building a list. Here again, there are a number of services that you can join, but if you are just starting out I strongly recommend Aweber.

Level 2: Products

Keyword Research Tools: The first keyword tool you should start using is Google's External Keyword Tool. It is a fantastic free tool offered by Google that you should take advantage of and you can find great keywords for brainstorming by making use of this tool.

However for comprehensive keyword research, you should start considering other tools in the market. Some of the keyword tools are

- Wordtracker
- Keyword Discovery
- Keyword Elite
- Market Samurai

Now there are so many other keyword tools available in the market right now, but no one keyword tool will be perfect by itself. You often have to work with different keyword tools on different projects.

However, if you are a newbie or if you are on a very limited budget, go for Wordtracker. Word tracker is considered by many experts, the bread and butter tool for keyword research. It is one keyword tool that is universally recommended by the entire Internet Marketing Guru.

Wordtracker comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. So start using it once you are well versed with keyword research and on you have a steady cash flow you can start considering other keyword tools.

Let me tell you, whether you are a newbie or an intermediate or an advanced Internet Marketer, if there is one course, I would recommend to you, it would be Rich Schefren's coaching program.

What's so special about Rich and his coaching program?



Rich is one Internet Marketing Guru and probably the only one who teaches his students on the importance of thinking like an entrepreneur. Till date, I have not found any other Guru teach that and Rich's coaching program will point out exactly what you are doing wrong and where you are going wrong. Once you seriously make an effort to understand Rich's teachings, you will understand how wrongly you are approaching your business and even life.

Just to illustrate my point, click on any of the links below to read his free reports and leave your comment if you are not truly amazed or blown away by his content. No matter where you stand in the Internet Marketing pyramid structure, Rich will address exactly where you are going wrong.

Having told you this let me warn you, his Business Growth System comes with a cost. Currently, it is priced 97$ for the first month and then 397$ for the subsequent months.

But, if it is something way out of your budget, don't join it, but work towards building a capital to fund you for his program. It is easily the best business building coaching program you will find anywhere in the Internet.

Before I conclude, let me tell you that there are other coaching programs that offer good value for the money. However you have to understand that there is only so much you can do with limited time at your hands. And what will eventually happen to you as you explore other products and programs is that you will keep buying products, learn something new but will never have any time to take action. Now without action, you will not be able to build your business and eventually you will not have the revenue to run your business or pay for the coaching programs.

Understand that you are not gaining anything by merely being an information sponge. So keep that in mind- don't lose focus, don't keep spending money on products unless you find a way of generating money that will pay for these products. It is precisely for this reason that I have outlined the absolute best programs in Internet Marketing.

Success or failure from it is entirely dependent on your efforts. Remember, you can take the horse to the pool, but you cannot make it drink. So your mantra for online success is
