Right now, I can think of lots of folks
who could use an extra three or four thousand bucks every week.
Maybe youre one of them. Or perhaps youd be happy making
even an extra $1000 bucks a month? Whatever your goals
are, I'd like to help you reach them.
But I must caution you before we continue...
I will not guarantee that everyone reading this right now will have
the same success I've had. Different people have different ambitions.
But I can promise one thing
I will reveal each key step Ive
taken to get here. If you're interested in trading your job for
"making a living online," you just got started on that
path. And all you have to do is read on, discover the
steps I've taken, and copy them!
Now before I reveal those steps to
you, I'd like you to listen to just a few details about my own story.
Only then will you realize that I really am just an average, ordinary
guy. Actually, years ago I never even dreamed I'd ever have my own
business. I never sold a thing in my life and had no desire to.
I was pretty content working 40-50 hours a week for the same company
for 10 years. I had even made it up to service manager, just before
my contentment was shaken by an ugly word -- perhaps you've heard
it before...
Downsize
The mid-1990s was not a good time to
be a new manager in an old company that had too many employees.
As downsizing reared its ugly head, I began to wonder when my number
would be up. What would I do without my $400 salary every week?
I had zero money in the bank and all my credit cards had somehow
gotten close to their limits. I didnt realize it, but I truly
was living from paycheck to paycheck.
If I was next to get that famous pink
slip, I was in trouble. I had no "plan B" to go to. Moving
back in with my parents at 30 was not something I was prepared to
do. (I doubt they would have embraced the idea either!) I figured
it was time to find another way to make money.
Money
Does Not Always Come From Money
Now for some odd reason, I had always
believed that people who had money were born into it. Although this
is true in some cases, these days it is becoming less true all the
time. Im living proof that you can also make your
own fortunes in this world.
In early 1996 I took my modest tax
refund ($300) and bought my first computer. It was an old beat up
386 - slow as molasses. I fired it up every night when I got home
from my job, and started researching ways to make money online.
I bought dozens of books and read everything I could get my hands
on. And I failed miserably for three months...
That's
right, I failed big time before hitting pay dirt.
The fact is, many now successful entrepreneurs,
have failed repeatedly before hitting on something that works. So
if you've been trying without success, you're in good company!
My first failure?
I figured I
would make my fortunes at mail-order. Unfortunately, I had no idea
what I was doing. I made exactly $50 in sales during the first two
months and my expenses enormously outweighed my income. A total
flop, right?
Well
not completely. I experienced
some very valuable lessons during that short "discovery
period" as I like to call it. And within the
next few months of this "awakening" I started my rapid
ascent. The biggest lessons I learned:
How you market something is what makes or breaks
your business.
Sure, you need a solid product or service, but you can locate
those anywhere. (I'll explain that later.) It's the actual marketing
that makes or breaks small businesses and I had no idea of the
importance of that when I got started. Once I learned the techniques
that really work, I was on my way.
The real world is no place for a small or home-based business.
At least not if you want to double or triple your income every
year. There is only one place that this type of rapid income growth
can perpetuate in cyberspace. Only online can
a "tiny-budget business" experience rapid growth in
income. There are lots of reasons for this. Among them are
the tiny operating costs, a global customer base, and more. Take
my word for it. I am a living, breathing example of just how powerful
a force the Internet is for small and home-based businesses.
So
how did you get to where you are today, Jim?
Well, as I mentioned above, it was
not an overnight process. If you're looking for overnight riches,
even online, you can look elsewhere. And you'll find plenty
of marketers offering just that. Unfortunately, they won't
be able to deliver on it. Folks looking for overnight riches had
better stick to playing the lottery. Because your odds of hitting
the lottery are better than overnight success in any business.
But that's not to say you can't grow an income source online, and
do it much faster than you can anywhere else...
With my first failure behind me, by
my fourth month in my online business I was up to almost
$750 a week in sales. Then after eight months, I hit $1700 a
week. And by the end of that same year I started, I was making enough
money on my own, part time, to render my once "cherished"
9-5 job unnecessary. Actually, keeping my job was costing
me money by the end of that first year. I knew I could make
far more if I spent more time in my home business!
I
beat my boss to the punch! You should have seen his face.
He probably thought I was coming into
his office that morning to ask if I was next in line for the ax.
What he got instead was my resignation letter. And by dedicating
more time to my home business, my income did continue to
rise.
At the one-year mark it went over $2,000
per week. And in my third full year, the income from my site and
the affiliate programs I had joined surpassed $200,000. And each
year as I work less and less, my income has continued to increase.
(I'd rather not say exactly how much I'm making now.)
In fact, it's really no longer about the
money. Sure, the money is great, but working only when I want and
spending more time with my family is the best part. The beauty of
it is that I now have the freedom to do whatever I want with
my time. Not many people can say that and really mean it.
And the most important thing to remember
from my example is this: There is no way, you or I or anyone else
in the world can attain pay increases like those described above
when you are working for someone else. It is impossible. Unless
you are a professional athlete with skills that match the greatest
players in the world, you just cant do it.
However, in your own business, once
you get started on the right path, your income can grow indefinitely.
Oh sure, youll have to do some work. I never said you
could make six figures a year without putting in some effort.
But hey, if you run your own online business the right way, you
can automate most of the work and still get
richer all the time.
Remember:
Absolutely anyone with a brain can do exactly what I'm doing. All
you have to do is follow the steps I’ve taken.
Now let's
get into part three where you'll discover exactly of how you can
copy my simple, step-by-step
formula and make your
living online...
| What
you are about to read will reveal exactly what you need to know to create a profitable
LONG-TERM business on the Internet. When you understand
and read the below "secrets to success," you won't
be confused with all the hype on the Net. You'll know exactly
what will work, and what won't. |
Now that you realize
that the two most important components are "marketing know-how" and
"the Internet itself," here’s a checklist of three essential
questions you'll need answered. Ill
answer each question for you in detail below.
Now lets answer each question so you
can get started...
First of all, do
not become overwhelmed by that list. The process of building a successful
online business is just that a process. I promise to help you through this learning curve, so
bear with me. Ive helped thousands of folks before you and
I know my system works. Remember -- it is my life, so I know what
Im talking about.
What
is the correct way to start an online business that will bring you
enough income to "phase out" your job?
There are many ways to start and grow
a business online. After all, there are literally millions of people
doing it as you read this. But unfortunately, a huge percentage
of those people will fail for one of two reasons...
They
have no idea how to get started correctly so they give
up without giving themselves the fair shake they deserve.
or...
They try
and try one business opportunity after another without setting up
their own business first -- a proven formula for failure!
Obviously, the first step is the biggest
for everyone - and it is as simple as starting your online business
right away, and the right way. I'll
say that once more...
Right
away. and... The right way.
Right away means... do it today. Far too many people "plan to get serious" about
a business of their own "someday," when the conditions
are just right. The fact is, the conditions are never
just right for nearly everyone. Either there's "not
enough spare time" or "not enough money" or something
else keeps them from getting started. Quite simply, these folks
never get started and stay in less than ideal situations literally
forever.
You
dont need to quit your day job...
As a matter of fact, keeping your day
job will actually help you by removing any pressure of
failing. The beauty of an online business venture is that you can
do it in your spare time. I kept my own day job for almost a
year. Once your online income equals or surpasses your job
income, then you can have that chat with the boss.
But you do
have to get started. The Internet is not waiting around for new
entrepreneurs who are thinking about getting in on the
action. If you decide to "hold off a little while longer"
or just "dabble" with possibilities, youll be letting
the biggest opportunity for the average person ever, go right past
you!
You
already have every single thing you need...
A computer.
You already own one or you wouldnt be reading
this right now. |
Internet access.
Again, youre all set there. |
The ability to
follow directions. Hey, you got this far didnt you? |
A proven, no-hype
expert to guide you along the way. Thats where I come
in.
|
OK, now that you know you need to get started right away, here's
the right way
to do it...
The right way means... Forget about business opportunities... Forget about
multi-level marketing. Sure, network marketing, MLM and affiliate
programs can be powerful, but not until your business is up
and running first.
If you are serious about achieving long-term, reliable income
online, you must set up your own business first.
Only then, will you be able to
literally "plug in" any other program, opportunity, product, or service you want - and watch it make you money. Serious money.
This is how all successful
web business owners got started. It's how I started and how thousands
of others started. Period. If you have no idea what to
do to set up your business, fear not. I'll be sharing more details
on exactly how to do that.
Now let's move into the
next big question you'll need answered...
Exactly what should you be selling
on the Internet?
Ahh.. the big question.
Exactly what should you be marketing, or selling on the
Internet? Thats right, you need something to market
if you are going to make any money.
What's
that? You don't want to sell?
I've come across lots of people who
want their own high-income business on the web but do not
want to get involved with selling. What do I tell these folks? Simple.
I tell them their other alternative. It's called a JOB.
The simple fact is, when you go into
business for yourself, and you want to make serious money, you have
to be able to market yourself or your products or services. (Don't
worry, I've found that the Internet can make selling completely
"hands-off" so you don't have to peddle a thing. I'll
get into exactly how, later.)
Heres
another secret I seldom tell: I've been "anti-sales"
for as long as I can remember. And still to this day, I've never
sold a single thing in person. Actually, I stink at it. That's why
the web is the only place my business could survive. (And thrive!)
The Internet lets you be a sales "genius" without ever
having to pitch a thing. Online, the actual act of selling
is as simple as setting up a few automated tools and letting
them do the work!
If you're "anti-sales"
like me, here's a tip to put it all in perspective... When you sell
something, you are not taking a persons money. Customers
are making the conscious decision that what you have to offer
is worth a trade for a certain amount of their cash. This is exactly
how and why capitalism works.
Better yet, I like to think of my selling
as helping people make smart, informed decisions. The best
salespeople I've seen online adhere to that same policy, and you
can too. These online sales "experts" aren't at all like
what many people would think they would be like. In most
cases they're just regular folks like me!
So now that you know you have to sell
something to start moving toward a high income, let's get
right to the other part of this question...
What
do you sell?
Once again, Ill level with you
completely... Too many online marketers tell you that you
should be reselling their products! That's not true.
The very best way to make money, either online or off, is to market
your own products or services. Not only does this give
you complete control, it enables you to maximize your profits by
keeping most of the money from every sale.
[Side
note: It is possible to
make serious money online with existing products or services, but
you must be extremely selective. (I'll get to this later too!)]
Now perhaps you already have a product
or service in mind for your business. If you do, great! You're a
step ahead of the pack. But if you have no idea what you
could sell to make money online, here are just a few ideas
During my humble beginnings, I learned
that the number one seller in the world has always been, and always
will be - information. Not just
any information mind you, but specialized information. I made a
decision that I would start my business on this premise. I set out
to come up with the best information about Internet marketing I
could offer at a price far below what others were selling it for.
This has always been my business strategy and it will remain the
same until it stops working. (Most likely never.)
And I've got news for you... creating
your own information products is not hard at all. Everyone
knows something about a particular subject. Whether it is "golfing"
or "model airplane flying," you can easily create your
own information products. Simply take your area of expertise
and start writing down everything you know about it.
Think back to everything you have learned
over the years about it. This is the type of information others
want and need. They will pay good money to save their valuable time
and get the facts that you already know. Once you have your facts
together, putting them into a marketable format is much easier than
you think. The Internet offers tons of cheap software for book printing,
eBook creation and more. Just pick a program and run with it.
Now
let me get back to that side note...
I can already hear lots of you thinking...
"I
don't want to create a product or sell information.
Can't I make money reselling products and services
that other companies have already produced?"
The answer is yes. Absolutely.
The Internet is spawning all types of new products and services
every day, and you can make money selling them, but you must
be extremely selective. You can make serious money only when selling
products and services that fit a certain criteria.
Whats the criteria? Well,
if the product or service fits the following categories, it should
be considered:
1.
It must have a large demand.
That is, you must be able to identify
a large group of people who would be interested in it.
2.
You must be able to earn a bare minimum of 25% of the profits on
anything you sell.
There are far too many companies paying
5% or 10% commissions or less. The hard fact is, you just cannot
sell enough of something at those commission rates to earn a substantial
income.
3.
You must be able to become a reseller without shelling out a large
amount of cash.
I know of one marketer who charges
thousands of dollars for the privilege of reselling his products.
That's crazy. Unfortunately he's a big name marketer and lots of
unsuspecting people fall into his trap. Nearly all of them never
earn even their initial investment back. If you see a business opportunity
that will require a large outlay of money, or the need for you to
make many sales to earn back your initial investment, pass on it.
But
When Done Correctly, Reselling Can
Be Extremely Profitable...
I know firsthand that you can
make excellent profits promoting products or services that others
have developed. I do this every day. Heres an example of how
simple it is: One of the products I resell is software. People simply
download the program at my website and try it out. If they like
it they order a registration code from me using their credit card.
Product delivery is as simple as emailing their registration code
to them and thats it. I earn fifty bucks every time. You wont
find anything that easy in the real world. No inventory, no shipping, no risk.
And that's just one example.
You can also build serious, residual
monthly checks by reselling. (This is the ultimate reselling experience,
as it generates recurring monthly checks whether you work or not!)
I've managed to do this with a few different web-based service companies,
ranging from web hosting to private site memberships.
Last year alone, companies like that
paid me more than $80,000 combined. I simply "plugged"
their programs into my existing business. The demand is there and
this is not hard to do. It just takes a little know-how and
some time to set the deal up properly and market it effectively.
And I want to make one more thing clear
here. It does not have to be marketing information, software or services you
resell. It can be anything along the lines of your interests.
A friend of mine even built a residual income of more than $5000
a month (and still growing) as a reseller of personal ad sites on
the web. No matter what your interest, there is serious money to
be made in promoting existing products and services online - if
you know what you're doing.
Remember, although the best
way to make lots of money online is to come up with at least one
product or service that you own, you can do quite well even without
that component. As the above examples prove, even if you have
no ideas for an online business, you can still
make a living online. The real key is to get started building
your own business right away.
Now, let's move on to
that third question and answer what specific online marketing
strategies and tools actually work. In this next section I'll reveal a few of my best free and dirt-cheap
online marketing strategies. Strategies I've proven beyond a shadow
of a doubt, that will work for any business...
What
specific online marketing strategies
and tools should you be using
to get website traffic that coverts into buyers?
OK, now the biggest question comes
up... how do you actually get your message out to the cyber-public
so you can start making money. What online marketing methods really
work?
- Search Engine Marketing?
- Bulk email?
- Discussion group participation?
- Opt-in advertising?
The list of possible solutions goes
on and on. And hey, Ive tried them all and then some. And
what most people don't realize is that lots of strategies are hyped-up
wastes of time and money. On the other side of the coin though,
lots of tricks you've probably never heard of work wonders for getting
website visitors and sales.
Here's
one more secret not many people know about me...
I'm a cheapskate when it comes to promoting
my business. Thanks to the Internet and a lot of trial and error,
I don't have to spend much money, even on typically expensive things
like advertising. For example, here's just one method that works
better than any advertising or promotion I've ever paid for, and
this costs me about a buck a day...
Growing
targeted opt-in lists...
This is definitely one
of the
best proven online marketing method I have used since 1996. To put it in the simplest
terms, I grow targeted opt-in email lists and use tools that
automatically email the people on the list -- personally, and on
a regular basis. Now perhaps you're thinking, "How the
heck would I get people to opt in to receiving email marketing messages?
And the answer to that is easy...
"You
simply give away something of value -- a unique
freebie, in exchange for some contact information..."
That's right, in order
to effectively use opt-in email marketing, you need to offer a unique
and free product or service. Of all the ways to grow a
potential customer list on the Internet this one method is the cheapest
and most effective.
Here's
an example of this strategy in action:
Step
One:
Every single day hundreds
of people download free eBooks from my site. I give them away to
both help my niche market and to grow my opt-in list of potential
customers. As I write this I have some 100,000+ names and email
addresses of potential customers. Every one of them requested
a free eBook and gave me permission to email them, which I do
with my email newsletter and my pre-programmed follow-up autoresponses.
That means when I have a new product to introduce, I have 100,000+
people who want to hear about it; people I've already helped
in the past. When I have a joint-venture to promote with another
marketer, I have a huge list of people who are actually looking
for the type of products and services I offer. Can you see
the power in this strategy?
If you're going to do business online, get used to the idea of giving
away freebies. It's the best way to grow your
business. Just
be sure every freebie you offer is in exchange for your prospects' name and email address.
Then save the
names and email addresses
you get to a "house
list" of email contacts and
treat it like gold! Actually,
I should say, treat those people like gold. Start
an email newsletter or tip sheet on your area of expertise. Share
your knowledge with your list(s). These people are your bread and
butter. Help them succeed and they will reward you with their attention
-- if not now, some day.
Step
Two:
Next, take your freebie
strategy a step further. Implement follow-up autoresponder email
sequences with each freebie you offer. Get these people more
free, valuable information. Cross-sell and up-sell using your autoresponders.
Offer free email marketing courses and tutorials. Fully-automated
sales tools like auto-followup autoresponders are one of the best
ways you'll ever sell to your targeted lists of prospects. Using
tools like that is putting technology to work for your business.
That's it... it's as simple
as I've just stated and that was just ONE example. (I've got dozens
more!)
"What
Other Online Marketing
Strategies Work, Jim?"
I've rigorously tested more than thirty
different strategies for getting website traffic. While I regularly
try new
methods, I stick with about ten proven strategies now. (Don't let
that
scare you off, many of the methods I use are 100% automated
and take about
a total of a few hours a week.) While I can't possibly touch on
every
method that works, here's one more example that will help you get
going in
the right direction...
Let me ask you
this... how did you find this site today?
There is a good
probability that you found my website through a "keyword
search." You were looking for information on a particular subject,
and you
"happened to" end up here. But the reality of it is, it
was no accident you
ended up at my site. Let me explain...
Go to one of
the web's busiest search engines (Yahoo.com and Google.com are currently at the top of that list) and do a
search for this popular search phrase...
website marketing
Chances are, you'll find
this site or my
bizweb2000.com
site
listed on the first page of results, from literally millions of
competing websites.
Here's
just one more example...
Go back to that
search engine and search for "Internet marketing expert." Again,
you'll find my websites listed on the first page, among millions
of
web pages.
Keep in mind
that I am in an extremely competitive field and getting search
engine ranking is close to impossible. And those are just two
examples. I
have a long list I could share with you, but you get the point.
It is just
one more way I get highly targeted traffic to my websites without
spending
a penny. And I've showed many others how to do the very same
thing with
their websites. It's actually much easier for almost any other
niche, since
the competition is much lower.
So how is it done?
Well, it takes
a combination of things. For starters, you must use your best
keywords in the title of your web pages. You also need to use
your best keywords in the text of your pages, but be careful
not to use them too often. I keep my keyword density to less than 5%
on my web pages and you should too.
And
this may be the most important search engine optimization tip you
need to know...
Getting
good search engine ranking is not about tricking the search engines. It is about
setting up your pages so that the search engines can easily find and
index them. In fact, trying to manipulate the search engines for
better ranking can actually have the opposite affect, getting you
worse rankings, and sometimes even dropped from their database
altogether.
What
other things you can do to improve your ranking?
Well, for starters,
you need to continually grow the number of incoming links to your website.
And links from related sites will help much more than
non-related sites. Additionally, what those links say is important.
Text links containing your site's best keywords are much more
effective than banner links, for growing your website traffic as
well as improving your search engine ranking.
Sure, there's a lot more to it and it is impossible to cover it all
in this guide, but if you follow those guidelines you'll be on your
way to better ranking. And if it all seems too difficult or time
consuming, don't worry. It's really not as difficult as it seems.
And I can help you more with this in a few
minutes. For now, please read on. You're
almost to the end and there are a few more important things to
cover.
And remember, no
matter what you do with that search engine ranking information,
do not
make the mistake of overlooking the point I am trying to make
here...
If you plan
on using the web to earn money, getting free, targeted traffic
from the web's major search engines is imperative. And remember,
search engine optimization is just one web marketing strategy you should be using.
Heck, just within
the last few months I implemented another new web marketing strategy
which bumped the newsletter subscription requests coming through
my site to
more than 2200 a month. And the strategy cost me a grand
total of zero
dollars and an hour to implement. But I can't share that secret
with you
just yet, I'm still perfecting it!
My whole point to this section is...
thanks to the Internet, powerful small-business promotion is now
easier than ever. You just have to know where and how to get it.
And remember, you dont have to shell out big bucks to get
oodles of free and low-cost exposure on the Internet. When it comes
to promoting your business, you need to do it constantly.
But when it comes to spending big bucks on promotion, just say no.
OK, it's
time to wrap things up...
As
Ive said, I firmly believe that anyone can make a
living from the Internet. I am definitely far from being a creative
genius. I have simply done what many have done before me, polished
it up a bit and customized it for the Internet.
Many people reading
this free information right now will go on to do even better than
me. Sure, there are lots of details that I didn’t have room to go
into here, but I believe you now have a decent understanding of how,
and why my system works.
More than likely you already have the ambition,
since that's what brought you to this site in the first place. If
you lack that you can stop reading this right now. I can't help
you. However, if you do have the ambition to make
your living from the Internet, I'm happy to share all the rest with
you, including the knowledge, tools,
resources and
all the expert guidance you'll ever need.
If you feel as though
you would like to try your hand in online business, but you're not
comfortable going it alone, keep reading. I may be able to help you
further.
It's funny, as I write this it makes
me think back over my entire online adventure, especially my early
days. And if there was one thing I was missing, it was that last
equation - guidance. Every step of the way I wished I'd had personal
access to a proven Internet marketer, someone who was willing
to share every detail of their entire business. Not only the stuff
you just read, but more -- all the inner workings.
Unfortunately, I didnt know anyone
who could help back then. The fact is, there werent many of
us Internet marketers around ten years ago. I had to learn everything
I know by trial and error, which proves too costly and time-consuming
for millions of folks who end up giving up on their dreams.
But
whats done is done. I learned the hard way. Of course that doesnt mean you
have to.
While I cant
go back in time and reveal all this powerful stuff to myself, I
can do the next best thing: I can help others who
are in the same situation I was in that is, stuck with a
j.o.b. (just over broke) or an income they are not happy
with.
You see, now Im
that proven Internet marketer I was so desperately
seeking when I was just starting out. And this whole Internet marketing thing
is still pretty new and a lot of my strategies are still
pretty much uncovered by the masses. Thats one of the things
that makes the Internet so powerful. The folks with inside knowledge
are making a killing!
Isn't it Time You Started Making YOUR
Living Online? After all...
Nothing
could be farther than the truth.
A reliable income
source from the Internet is attainable for just
about anyone. And just imagine what that could do for you. You'll
finally get rid of your most nagging problems, like...
| X |
Worrying
about growing bills all the time. |
| X |
Struggling
to get out of the house on time every morning to do
the dirty deeds like drop the kids at Day Care, and go to
that job! |
| X |
Having
too little time to spend with your loved ones, and missing
out on the 'important' days! |
| X |
Having
a boss to be accountable to and worrying about whether
your career is actually progressing. |
And these two biggies for existing
business owners...
| X |
Trying
to figure out how to put the web to work for you but not
knowing where or how to begin. |
| X |
Worrying
about slow or inconsistent income from your online (or
offline) business. |
Imagine How Good It Will
Feel To Finally Shrug Off Those Nagging 'Keep-Me-Awake-Until-4am'
Problems... For GOOD!
And
I'm just one of the thousands of home-based web business
owners who started from nothing, proving...
 |
Anyone
can start their own business online
without a big cash outlay. |
 |
When
done properly, an online business eats up very
little of your time. |
 |
You
can use little-known
techniques like I use to get cheap website traffic. |
 |
You
can grow a powerful,
reliable income source on the Net in your spare
time! |
|
In closing...
As I mentioned
numerous times throughout this guide,
if I can make a living online, chances are, you can too. My own results prove
that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Remember, all this information I've
shared with you today comes from
experience. Don't overlook the importance of that. There
are far too many places on the web offering "help" that
will only confuse new entrepreneurs, or worse, get you into trouble.
So
please, as you grow your online business, be careful who you take
advice from.
Follow the wrong leader
and you're in for years of wasted time and money. Follow the
right leader and you have a real, legitimate chance.
I've already helped thousands of regular folks earn serious
money online, in most cases right from the comfort of their own
homes. So I know the information you just read, actually works. Here's just one example
of how well it can work for you, no matter where on the globe you
may live...
Now go
forth with this information and create your own destiny. There are
fortunes to be made over the coming years online, and the
information you just read will help you grab yours!

P.S. If you are ready to
start growing your own income source from the Internet, and would
like me to personally coach you through the entire process, I have one final question
for you...
