Does internet marketing seem like a deep, dark mystery
to you? Are you like a starving refugee, gazing into a window,
where rich people are eating a perpetual Thanksgiving dinner?
You know that the money is out there, lying around in piles,
and some people are allowed to load their pockets each day,
while the majority can only watch and wait….and wait….
Well, I, for one, and thousands of others, have decided to
join the feast, and if the door is locked, we’ll kick it down! By
“we”, I mean the thousands of Wealthy Affiliate University
members, who together represent a formidable force of
unstoppable momentum, barging into the celebration without
an invitation!
You see, all the self-proclaimed “gurus” tell you that making
money online is “easy” as long as you buy their sure-fire
systems. The only problem with that is, 95% of the marketing
strategies you buy from strangers are either out-dated,
incomplete, or just plain garbage, and most tell you that in
order for you to make the best money online, you need this or
that tool or software that is not included in the package you just
bought, but, “hey, no problem, here’s my affiliate link to that
marvelous product”, and bam! they’ve got you again!
The biggest strategy in online marketing is the upsell, where
most marketers make more money than the original sale, and
the list, where all marketers will continue to bombard you with
offers for as long as you are on it. Don’t blame them, it’s the
way things work. Instead of getting mad, get even.
Learn to be the offerER instead of the offerEE.
I spent thousands of dollars online buying the “next big thing”
only to find that none of them ever worked for me, because,
you see, internet marketing IS NOT EASY! There is a learning
process that is the equivalent to a couple of years of college
[at least] and the “gurus” don’t want you to graduate!
When you get to the level of knowledge that they are at, you
cease being a customer and become the competition, so why
would they actually help you along the way?
My eyes were finally opened by Wealthy Affiliate University,
and now I see the big picture.
You should take the free tour and decide whether it is better
for you to be a sheep or a wolf.

I “played” at trying to make money selling online for years
before finally deciding to get serious about making money on
the web.
It was more a hobby than a serious pursuit, because deep
down inside, I didn’t really believe it could work for me.
Suddenly, the economy landed on my shoulders like a ton
of bricks, and I had to scramble to make money during the
recession as if my very life depended on it, so I dusted off
some of those expensive “get rich on the internet” courses
I had paid for and never implemented, but soon found that the
information contained there was either out of date, incomplete,
or just plain wrong. But then an email arrived.
The email that changed my online life was from Kyle & Carson,
the founders of Wealthy Affiliate University, reminding me that
their membership fees were due to increase on June 7, and
something in that letter inspired me to take the plunge and join.
I logged in for the first time and was greeted by an avalanche
of information, and some reassuring notes that told me,
“If you stick to the plan you WILL make money quickly”.
Being as how I was desperate, I took them up on that challenge.
Here are just a few of the things I found at the Wealthy Affiliate
University website:
>Free hosting.
>Free autoresponder.
>Free website builder with how-to tutorials.
>A forum with thousands of like-minded people who helped me.
>Step-by-step action plan to start earning quickly.
>Lessons via video and text for every aspect of marketing.
>Tools to make all this happen at my own speed.
And much, much more, to name all the resources would take
a book, not an article.
On the negative side, I found the steps and lessons, which
everyone is required to complete, a bit TOO thorough, in that I
have some experience as a marketer and the first baby-steps
toward an online income were redundant for me. Also, the sheer
volume of information I was presented with was daunting, to say
the least, but after a short while I had excelled by leaps and
bounds and had a website up and running, lead capture pages,
autoresponder set up, and was marketing [and making sales] via
the free advertising resources provided.
In a nutshell, Wealthy Affiliate University is all anyone needs to
become an internet marketer.
If you are tired of “playing” at marketing, I strongly suggest that
you stop buying those expensive e-books and get serious about
really making money online.

Build a List, or Kiss Making Money Online Goodbye January 5, 2010

Strong words in the title, and some will think that it`s hype, but in the internet marketing world, no truer words were ever spoken, and you can either believe them or doom yourself to failure as an online marketer. Ever wonder why your inbox is constantly flooded with free stuff? Free e-books, [most outdated], free reports, [all self- serving], free products, software, advice, [most of which sends you to a product] and free newsletters, [all of which want to sell something to you]. I`m not complaining, I`ve downloaded many valuable free assets that I couldn`t have afforded at the time, some of which have made money for me. Besides, this is a solid, legitimate marketing strategy…list building! Now, if you are new, or relatively new, to internet marketing, you are probably curious as to what all the fuss is about concerning building a mailing list. Let me enlighten you: The only way you will ever make money online is to drive the right kind of targeted traffic to offers that the traffic is actually wanting to buy, hence the word “targeted”. If you belong to ad exchanges, safelists, etc., then you are doing what I like to call “shotgun advertising”, which scatters your message to the winds with the hope that some will come to rest in the right spot. Very little of it does. Almost all free advertising fits in this category, and produces very little, or nothing, in the way of sales. Perhaps you can afford pay-per-click ads, and maybe you have made money with them. My guess is you`ve probably LOST money, because ppc is a highly specialized skill that has been mastered only by a few thousand elite marketers, and no matter what they tell you in the ads they run for their latest and greatest products, they will NOT share all you need to know about it for 47, 77, or 97 dollars. Now about list building: Statistics show that every member of a marketer`s mailing list, if treated right, is worth, on average, about a dollar per month to the list owner. A list of ten thousand should pay you, the list owner, an average of somewhere in the neighborhood of ten thousand dollars, and that`s a very good neighborhood, indeed. What do I mean by “treated right”? Well, if I`m on someone`s list, there are certain things I expect, such as the freebies I mentioned at the beginning of this article, and some things I don`t want, which is to be deluged with offers on a daily basis. So, how to build a list, build it quickly, and keep the opt-ins on your list happy? Go to this web address for the best solution: http://budaboy1.autolist.hop.clickbank.net/
