Learn Internet Marketing: The Two-Step Process To Success - By Jack Silver
If you are a complete newcomer to internet marketing - a “newbie” - then you will be faced with a steep learning curve. However, do not be disheartened or intimidated. This is an inevitable part of the process. It’s like a hazing ritual. If you can climb the steep, then you will have earned your spurs and will no doubt be on the way to collecting a fortune from your online work.
It is important that you accept the significance of this upfront. Don’t buy into the myth that you can become a millionaire overnight. Yes, it is easy to make money online and yes, you can make money fast. But first you have to know HOW to do that, and that’s what the learning curve represents. Once you have ascended the curve though, you will be a fully-qualified human ATM machine.
The first and most important step to learn internet marketing is to put up a force-field between yourself and all the hyperbole that exists out there. Entering the internet marketing arena is a bit like entering Las Vegas - your head is turned constantly, seduced by the glitzy lights and promises coming from all sides. Do not be that individual who purchases every piece of software going. Do not purchase a hundred eBooks. Do not allow yourself to get dazzled. If you wish to learn internet marketing, then you should start with free internet marketing methods.
I could give you a set of golf clubs and three years of golf lessons. In that time, you would most likely become a very good golfer, probably playing off a single figure handicap. At this point, the only way you can improve your game is with tiny refinements and alterations. Maybe that would mean using a training aid to get you to improve your posture. Maybe it would mean experimenting with a new club to get more distance. Perhaps it would mean working on your psychology to strengthen your shaky moments.
No doubt you’re now asking yourself why I am talking about golf. Well, it is an analogy to internet marketing. You see, the bulk of your game is established through basic training. That means listening to advice, practicing, testing and tracking your results. The refinement to your game comes through strongly focused - and often expensive - techniques. However, you cannot refine your game if you have not mastered the basics. If you wish to learn internet marketing, you need to master the basics.
Every piece of software you see for sale, every pricey course you see promoted…they are pretty much aimed at the internet marketer who has completed basic training. If you ever look at a piece of software and find yourself questioning what certain terms mean, then you know you’re not ready. A grizzled internet marketer will know exactly what impact the software will have on their business efficiency and bottom line. So please, ignore it.
Of course, just like golf, the best part of your game is established through basic training. In the case of internet marketing, basic training means developing an understanding of general income stream methods and technical jargon, and then learning to make money through free methods. If you can make money online without spending any money, then you have the Midas’ Touch.
The fact is, you can replace your full-time job income just by using free methods. I didn’t spend a dime, but earned enough to quit my job and work from home. That is what mastery is all about. Once you have nailed that, then you can look at refining your game and moving on to the next wealth level. Learn internet marketing from the bottom upwards.
There are really two methods of free internet marketing you should research and master. The first is blogging. Blogging has a ridiculous amount of potential. You can create free websites with blogs, learn to attract visitors to it, and stick up affiliate links and Adsense banners to make cash. There is no better basic training in the world than learning to make cash with blogs. The second method is to make money from internet forums. Simply pick affiliate products to promote, go to relevant forums, put a link to your affiliate product in your signature, and make sales whenever somebody buys from your link. These sound easy in principle, and they are. But despite a simple concept, you will find it takes a lot of tracking, testing and tweaking in order to get maximum profits.
Ultimately you are looking to get to the day when you can wake up, set up a free profit stream, and check back the next day to see that you have made money. If you can make a measly $1 a day from a free method, then all you have to do is repeat it 200 times to earn $200 a day. Do you see the potential of all this? So do not get suckered in by expensive courses. You don’t need them at all. If you wish to learn internet marketing, learn from the bottom up. Free internet marketing will provide your bread and butter in the years to come, and if you haven’t mastered that, then you’ll never stand a chance. If you have mastered it however, you can set up many profitable streams of income each and every day.
