Just look at the newspaper, the statistics are rising for unemployment. If you are the unfortunate one or you are looking foe ways to bring extra income to the family, why not turn your attention to the internet?

In fact, since you are reading this blog, it shows that you are interested to learn about internet or affiliate marketing already. Congratulation to you and I hope that I can help you. :-)

First up, some of you might ask,

"Who is going to buy my products in this tough time? Even I am watching my money."

That is true still that doesn't mean that people stop buying. They are just careful about their money and searching for products with higher value and worth their money.

So, does your product possess high value? Can it stretch your customers' money?

One of the ways you get this kind of products is to try it out yourself. Remember to look for the product that offer money back guarantee. You want your money back when the product doesn't perform accordingly.

And to let you know, you need to have a responding list when you want to make money with internet or affiliate marketing. I know this can be a difficult task for those of you who are just starting out with the business.

Is ok and let me tell you a secret. You can start marketing at forums. There are forums literally about almost anything you are interested. Just Google for "your topic forum" and join the one you feel like it. Of course you can always join more than one.

You can then leverage on the huge database of the forum and start getting traffic to your website or blog. All you need to do is to answer the thread you know and to ask question about the things you don't know.

By the way, you can earn your ranking in forums. So, the more you post in the forum, the more famous you will be in the forum. Now, please don't get me wrong. I am not telling you to simply post on the forums. What you do in the forums MUST be beneficial to other forum members.

I see a lot of postings like "good job, that is right, I agree with you, thank you..." and they are from the same members over and over again. Now, I am not sure about the purpose of these members but I hope that they are not doing that for the ranking.

Personally, I want to be respected when I earn the ranking. It means that I have been able to help others and showing them the right way to do something. I hope you will do the same when you are building your internet or affiliate marketing business. :-)

Now that you have the product and traffic, how can you make your traffic to stay at your website or blog?

Simple. It is your content.

Always post quality content that can help your readers and you can get your readers to believe in you. Once you have established that trust, it is easy for you to persuade your readers to either buy your product or enroll to your list.

To some of you, it might sound difficult and frightening to execute the tips I just shared with you.

Then, let me ask you something.

"Do you want to stay in your current financial situation? Isn't that more frightening that you have no security to your job?"

If you fear to fail in the internet or affiliate marketing business, why don't you be afraid in having no money and you can no longer enjoy the luxury you can now. You need to have a back up plan for your financial condition.

It is your choice...

Create your success,

Complacent or Not?

From the first glance of the title, you probably already answer "No" and that is right. And looking at the comparison between poor and rich internet marketer, you will understand why I said that. :-)

1. Clear goal

Poor internet marketer: Charge into the internet marketing business and clueless about what to do. Running here and there without making any money just for the fun of trial and error.

Rich internet marketer: You have a firm determination that internet marketing is for you and you will do nothing else beside internet marketing. You are clear if your goal and you have a plan to do it. Even though the plan might not be perfect, you are still willing to refine it.

2. Leisure

Poor internet marketer: Is suppose to go online to look for information but got sidetracked and watch video for hours instead. The videos were entertaining and fun to watch. It was so relaxing...

Rich internet marketer: The only leisure you have is to search for inspiration online. There is nothing more fun and satisfying then to get what you want. It just seems to brighten your day.

3. Friends

Poor internet marketer: Hang out with friends who thought that it is impossible to build a profitable internet marketing business. Not a million years for ordinary people. Mingle with friends who laugh at the dream of being a rich internet marketer. Mix with friends who say that the only way to make money with internet marketing is to con people into it.

Rich internet marketer: You hang out with friends who influence you to be innovative, proactive and believe that it is very possible to be financially free with internet marketing. Mingle with friends who are interested to joint venture with you and look into the possibilities to build a profitable online business together. Mix with friends who challenge you to be independent and solve your own problem.

4. Education

Poor internet marketer: Learn internet marketing.

Rich internet marketer: Learn how to be successful in internet marketing.

5. Time

Poor internet marketer: Complain that time is not enough but procrastinate to finish the project. There is some guilt in the heart but delaying the work somehow seems to be light on the shoulders too. And whenever the it was asked about the reason for not making money with internet marketing, not having enough time again became the easy target.

Rich internet marketer: You are sincerely not having enough time. You woke up at 6am and sleep at 2am. You start to swallow your food and you take as small meal as possible (eating too full somehow affect your brain activity). You are constantly thinking about your internet marketing business and how you can make more money with it. Even toilet break has never been so rushing for you.

6. The Business Concept

Poor internet marketer: Making a few thousand a month with internet marketing is enough and this extra money is good to pay for mortgage and clear out loans. Also, it is perfectly normal to work hard for internet marketing because everyone is doing that.

Rich internet marketer: You don't want to follow what everyone else is doing. You want to be a trend setter. You want to break out of the old and boring box and making a few thousand a month is just a starter. You want to earn more and you want to see yourself living in that huge mansion with an Olympic size swimming pool, driving that supercar, feeling happy to wake up in the morning in your cozy bed knowing that there are more zeroes added to your bank account and more. You are hungry for that.

7. Investment

Poor internet marketer: A lot of people are suffering from retrenchment and it is lucky to be able to earn an extra $3k a month with internet marketing. These extras should be kept in saving. Who knows what will happen tomorrow.

Rich internet marketer: The more insecure you feel about tomorrow, the more you want to earn within your power. You understand that you can't "put all the eggs into 1 basket". It is so dangerous. So, you explore more income sources and you are prepare to diversify into the niches you believe to be profitable.


So, what category do you belong to? And where do you want to go ?


Create your success,
