I finally found out how to make money with internet marketing!
Yes it has taken me a few years to get to this point; I have tons of shiny objects, gigabytes of info on my harddisk, dozens of high end special tools to use and a portfolio of dead and dying websites. Quite a collection. Cost me a lot of money and a whole lot of my spare time too.
This internet marketing income dream for me is necessity. Like a lot of baby boomers I find myself with few retirement alternatives other than working until I die. Of course the more I work at this internet business the more certainty I add to that last part.
But if you are listening I will give you some advice here, it is free for you but I paid for it (probably more than you would be willing to spend) so that old hack that free advice is worth every penny really doesn’t cut it in this case.
You will hear a lot of people telling you to FOCUS…. of course you have to ask focus on what? I mean there is sooo much to learn. WordPress, site design, graphics, photoshop, copywriting, sales funnels, SEO, cookies, affiliate offers and the list goes on and on! There is online and offline markets, Amazon, Adsense, CPA offers and that goes on and on too. FOCUS? You don’t know where to begin!
Well that is a problem really because you are going to need to know a little about most of what I told you or hire it done for you.
MOST of you will not want to spend the money to hire someone to do it for you thinking it is too expensive. But I am here to tell you it is cheap. Cheaper than spending the next two years of your life learning it and all the money you will invest in doing that. (It is pretty insidious how those little $7.00 WSO eat up your bank account.)
But I will give you a small hint, Fiverr.com is a savior even for the PROs. You can get just about anything you want done there for $5.00. Spend a bit of time researching that and you will be miles ahead of the competition.
The hardest part to the internet is figuring out in what market you will work. You can be an affiliate, a product maker, a service for local businesses, service for other internet marketers (SEO, article writing, etc) or just a blog maker that gets paid for displaying ads. But this is the part that is the hardest and why so many people have such a hard time. They try to do too many things without really concentrating on that ONE THING.
I heard a GURU say this about his bookshelf. He has hundreds of thousands in courses and spends tens of thousands a year to keep up to day. But he said something more significant – he said knowing what he knows now he could take anyone of them and make money today. What is it that he knows now that he didn’t know THEN?
DO ONE THING UNTIL YOU MAKE MONEY AT IT – THEN REFINE IT UNTIL YOU CAN MAKE MORE MONEY AT IT – THEN HIRE PEOPLE TO MAKE EVEN MORE MONEY AT IT! Do this and you will succeed at internet marketing, don’t and well it is learn the hard way.
Well there it is – the answer to the $64,000 question.
I will leave you with one last thought – while you are building this fortune for the future don’t get so fixated on the future that you miss the present, especially if you have a family. Mark Dulisse is an internet marketer that I really respect for his technical ability, and now much more for his honesty, just posted about this on his blog.

All the best to you – Really
