Make Money Online: the Internet’s Biggest Scam July 28, 2010

Only 3% of aspiring internet marketers ever make money online,
and only a small percentage of that 3% get to give up their day-.job
We just don’t realize, when we start out trying to drive traffic to
affiliate offers, the depth and breadth of the knowledge needed to
successfully make a full time living sitting in front of our PC’s in
our underwear, [at least, that’s the image the people who sell
‘systems” try to convey], so we go shopping for the right e-book
or video series that will teach us all the ins-and-outs in a few hours,
not aware that most of which are recycled stuff that has been
around for years, and contain information that can be gleaned from
the web for free.
The so-called “gurus” who sell this stuff know that the information
is incomplete, and sometimes worthless, and they know that even
if we study hard and implement the knowledge we’ve bought, [which
the vast majority WON’T do] we’ll be back for more, because there
are a million more things to learn, so they always have a “new”
course of study waiting for us and our credit cards.
So it is no accident that the Make Money Online or Home
Business niche is the biggest, most competitive category of info
products. The ones who sell the information keep us in the dark
so that we are always a prime, easy target for more sales.
There are, of course, really good, comprehensive systems for sale
online that WILL teach us what we need to know, and some of these
products have been around for a long time and have sold many
thousands of copies to people who later became successful. The
real trick we need to master is picking the right product to learn
from, so that we are not continuously going “back to the well” for
more of the knowledge we are lacking. The problem with that being,
the “gurus” want us to believe that the book or video series they are
selling RIGHT NOW is the one we need, and are very good, indeed,
at convincing us of it.
So, in order to avoid making additional purchases of info products
for every aspect of marketing, we need to select just ONE that will
get our business up and running and profiting.
No marketing system is the end-all, be-all of marketing systems,
but a few are at least complete enough to guide us to making a
profit, and it is SO much easier to justify spending more on info-
products to fine tune your skills if you are already making money
and don’t have to raid your savings account.

heartedly recommend, go here:http://tinyurl.com/profitz

Sheep or Wolf? Learn to Make the Best Money Online June 7, 2010

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.

Product Launches Pay Huge Dividends for Affiliate Marketers June 4, 2010

Ever wonder why, when you finally hear about a hot, new product that is flying off the virtual shelves, it’s already being promoted by
the big-name guru’s?
If you are like me, you’ve bought into these “sure fire money-makers” only to find the market thoroughly saturated, with “Big Dawg”
marketers raking in all the gravy and leaving the rest of us to lick the bowl.
But the truth is, if you can manage to get in at the outset of a product launch by a well-known marketer, the gravy, and the profits,
can be yours, as well.
These insiders, who usually are recruited by the product creator, always get the product free of charge to peruse, use, and write reviews of, as well as promote to their lists, and that’s when the rest of us finally learn about it. By then, it’s too late to get
in on the heavy profit making, and we usually have a hard time even
recouping the investment we made to buy the product in the first place.
If you are a known entity, meaning someone who has promoted a product successfully and has a responsive list, then you already
are aware of how it works, but if you are among the majority of
marketers, who have yet to break into the upper echelon of online
earners, getting that first invitation to a ground-floor launch is only a daydream. It’s just another example of the old axiom, “the rich
get richer” and leaves us wannabes  more than a little frustrated while we gaze at websites that feature the smiling faces of “the rich”.
But there is a way to beat everyone except the guru’s to the punch, and maybe even make YOU one of the elite few who start promoting new
products before everyone else even knows of their existence.

Here’s how: (secret video)

Read This Before Trying to Make Money Online March 5, 2010

Hard times are upon us and more and more desperate people are flooding onto the internet in search of money to pay their bills, buy food, send their children to school, and all the myriad other reasons we all are slaves to the economy.

Most should look elsewhere for an income, for the hard truth of the matter is, the learning curve for successful internet marketers is long and precipitous, and almost all will give up the dream before ever making a profit.

The time and money required in order to learn all the average successful marketer needs to know is daunting.

Almost every neophyte marketer will start this learning curve by buying a “system” that some self-proclaimed “guru” swears is the end-all, be-all of the deepest secrets of how to make endless torrents of cash while working maybe an hour a day. The budding millionaire pays his money, downloads a lot of text, or video, or audio, or all three, and quickly realizes the material is totally incomprehensible gibberish because he or she does not know how to implement the strategies being taught, does not know the terminology, has only a bare-essentials kind of computer expertise, and just did not realize how complicated it all was. The smart ones quit right there.

Unfortunately, the dream is so compelling that most keep plugging away, doing their best to learn all they can, and after awhile, buying more “systems” they can’t afford, can’t understand, and usually don’t implement.

By now the average newbie has learned how to set up e-mail accounts, PayPal and ClickBank accounts, and has started advertising on the easiest avenue to exposure, traffic exchanges. He joins every “free” money making site that is presented to him, drives thousands [and thousands] of hits to a variety of offers, and still has not made his first dollar online. “Hey, maybe this isn’t as easy as they said it was”. A lot swallow the dream and quit there.

A sizable number, however, will continue chasing the internet rainbow, convinced that they are smart enough and strong enough to fight through all the obstacles and finally come out on top.

It’s at this stage of the game that the remaining few, that twenty or so percent that REALLY WANT IT will hunker down and go on a learning binge, studying relentlessly how to write articles, do social networking, drive traffic from forums, sell PLR products, write ad copy, make videos, build websites, make squeeze pages, learn HTML, build Squidoo lenses, learn Twitter tactics, and the list is endless, and they spend more and more money, and finally, one morning they wake up and realize that they STILL haven’t made a profit.

Never fear, the “gurus” will tell them, all they need is another “system”, the ULTIMATE SYSTEM, the one they have been dreaming of, the step-by-step solution to all their problems, the REAL GURU SECRETS! Never mind that it costs a couple thousand, put it on the credit card, and before the wife or husband even knows you spent the money, you’ll be swimming in green!

A few weeks or months later, the realization that they just are not going to make the dream come true finally sets in on the vast majority of wanna-be millionaires. We have now pared the pack down to the one or two percent who will actually make money at internet marketing.

I said “make money”, not “get rich”. There is a world of difference.

The average “profitable” internet marketer will make a living. Maybe a good living. That’s all.

But what of the “internet millionaires” you’ve heard so much about? Well, the truth is, the percentage of people who actually get rich in internet marketing is about the same percentage as in the rest of the world.

There are very few people who possess the ruthless drive to make themselves wealthy, and the overwhelming odds are, you’re not one of them.

Am I telling you to give up, not even try? No. What I am trying to demonstrate to the readers of this article is that to just make a living at internet marketing is a daunting task. To get rich is almost impossible.

If you are determined to try, just try to keep things in perspective. Learn all you can from free sources, of which there is a huge supply on the web. Remember that most of the systems that are offered for sale are re-hashed, re-mixed information that has been around forever, and is available from public domain websites all over the web.

Google “public domain” for free stuff, or the thing you want to learn followed by “tutorial” and you will discover vast amounts of knowledge for free.

Don’t spend every free minute on the web, your relationships will suffer for it.

Do not harbor unrealistic expectations from internet marketing, or it will consume you.

I am an internet marketer who has lived this article, and I am not trying to sell you anything with this article, although you could visit my blog and read more of my articles if you are so inclined.

Good Luck and God Bless,
