Dear Valued Reader & Friend,
It’s my great pleasure to bring this to you, and I hope it’ll be useful and helpful to you.
Each year goes by so fast , and it’s time to think about how you're going to make this your breakout year for online success.
You've no doubt seen dozens of different “next big thing” business models come and go this year. Every where you look it seems like things are being shaken up, and only those 'in the know' will remain standing.
Well, I'd like to put your mind at ease about this RIGHT NOW. Your income opportunities aren't going anywhere. In fact… There may be no better time to start your own online business.
All sorts of crazy money making fads have come and gone, most of it having to do with auto-generated content sites, pay-per-click arbitrage and other risky schemes. It’s not that these methods didn't work for some people. It’s just that they weren't designed to produce real, long-term income.
What's left standing are the same solid and proven business models that were always there – just good, old-fashioned marketing of in demand products and services.
- Information products are still alive and kicking.
- Affiliate marketing is still alive and kicking.
- Content is still king when it comes to motivating potential customers.
So, all you really need to do to earn your first $1,000 online in 30 days from now is to pick a proven business model, and work with it from the ground up with a plan.
This has always been the case – whether its 2006, 2007, 2008...- the real money is generated by owning a real business, and doing what you do best.
I can give you several proven business models in this no-fluff honest manual, you can call it my labor of love for you. You can choose any model you like. All of them hold the potential to generate $1,000 or more for you, if you'll take your business seriously.
What you'll gain here is the 'big picture' perspective. Keep in mind this is not a step-by-step 'how to' guide, although I do make every effort to give you the basic information you need to get started.
My purpose in writing this for you is to give you a broad view of online income sources.
I want you to understand the fundamentals and to realize that (most of the time) those 'next big thing' products you see are really just variations on an established model. Make sense?
There are hundreds upon hundreds of opportunities, but when you really dig into them, you'll find that they all fall into the same class. In other words, you're always selling something. It’s just that your role in the transaction varies.
Some models involve making direct sales, while in others you act as the referrer. Either way, you're making money based on your ability to induce others to take action. That action could be as simple as clicking on a link in an Adsense ad, or it could be the prospect pulling out his credit card to buy a product.
So, if you're ready to grab your share of the action in this year, then keep reading…
There are literally dozens of ways to make money online but, for most beginners, this variety is the problem. Too many different models to choose from and no solid game plan for working any one of them.
Some marketers have their hands in two or three or four different business models. This can be done with experience, but it spells disaster for newbies. In order to make it to your first $1,000 online, you need to choose just ONE money-making business model, and stick to it.
In other words, you need to learn how to walk before you can run.
Once you completely master one business model, then you can consider adding on different tactics.
So, the first thing to realize about the big picture is that the opportunities are out there, and you can succeed, if you have the discipline to focus on just one, proven business model.
The second thing to realize is that… While the 'rules' of the game may change, the fundamentals never do.
What does this mean? It means that everything you learn in terms of marketing best practices, like: how to set up a website, how to capture and market to leads on your opt-in list, how to write great pre-sell and sales copy - will always be an essential part of your skill set.
And this also means you should ignore any hype you come across that claims certain long-standing, proven models are somehow 'dead' (eg, internet marketing, email marketing, affiliate marketing).
When you see things like that, all it really means is that some of the tactics are in flux. For example, there is some evidence that it’s getting harder to lure in subscribers using the 'free content' trick.
However, think about where this tactic might be losing its effectiveness. It’s mostly in the Internet marketing “how to” niche; not in the less saturated, non-marketing-related niches.
Further, even if “everyone” online suddenly became less responsive to these tactics, all that's necessary is a change in strategy.
Let's say you weren't getting good results by giving away a free report to your niche…so change that up. Try offering audio, or video or software. Work on improving your landing page copy.
Here's another example: let's say one of your traffic sources wasn't performing very well. You would definitely want to look at your advertising copy before you decide that source is junk, right?
The main point I want to get across here is that the proven money-making models aren't going anywhere.
What happens is that Internet usage patterns fluctuate, and customer needs fluctuate. All you have to do is stay on top of the emerging trends in your target market, and adjust accordingly.
Last but not least… It’s important that you strive for consistency, focus and patience. You do face a fair amount of competition online, but it is not insurmountable.
In fact, do you want to know one of the real secrets to making money online? That secret is longevity.
The longer you're in business, the stronger your business gets. Part of this has to do with exposure. You build up your visibility and brand awareness over time. You keep at it and you garner name recognition, which is very important.
If you stick to your guns, you'll find that competition comes and goes, while you maintain a solid presence in your niche. People trust and respect that sort of longevity, and you'll reap the rewards.
To your success
