How To Make Money Online The REAL secrets are NOT what you think. How Can I Make Money Online? What’s the best free marketing tip of the century? The secrets are definitely not what you have read in ten E-Books! Unless you just happen to be lucky! And you all know what I have to say about that… The harder I worked the luckier I got and the more money I made online… Nearly all of us have had a conversation with new internet marketers who have found and purchased the rights to resell an ebook that tells them how to make fifty thousand this month.. Free Marketing Tip # 1 remember that work produces results when you do it consistently…. They say they are having money problems, so they need to make a lot of money, and fast. They don’t want to just “get their feet wet” They want to JUMP IN HEAD FIRST! They say they want to be successful and “take off with this stuff” They can go far and make that fifty thousand… in time if they realize that there are 3 things they need to do…and they are the 3 things that most do NOT do. I see post after post, on forum after forum of people who are frustrated they are not making “easy” money Internet Marketing, all the free marketing tips in the world wont help you if you aren’t doing this… some for YEARS and still not quite “making it” some spend $1000s on ebooks, videos and courses-better to spend it on a marketing strategy that you or someone you know and trust knows a lot about… If they learn and learn and acquire information without taking consistent action they end up frustrated and out of money There are 4 Foundational KEYS To Success 90% of those who want to get into this field do not do these things I bet 90% of the people who read this wont do it either That means, odds are, you are likely to be one of them and end up laughing, taunting, scoffing, denying or just outright ignoring what I am writing. Note: You can’t do 1 and not the other 3, you can’t do 3 and not the other 1 you must do them all, or be stuck forever in the land of mediocrity waiting for the next free marketing tip that is supposed to change the world… if you think you are ready…hang on, here they are Key 1) Make a budget Inevitably, someone will ask you what your budget is for this or that. It does NOT matter how much it is, but you should have a SPECIFIC amount set aside to do your project. Be it $10 or $10,000…have it available, or know when it will be. If you invest all that you can after your basic expenses have been sorted out each week and month then that is OK too, just as long as you know what the minimum amount will be and work your plan around that… You may be waiting for the money after applying for a loan or for your house to sell and the funds to come through, that’s fine as long as you have a plan and you know what you’re doing and you have deadlines for when you know the money will be available. Break your budget into unequal 3rds (whether you do it yourself or outsource, there will be expenses) 1/3 – Development/setup/Production (programming, writing, plr, editing, etc) 1/3 – Marketing – (ppc, jv, print, myspace) 1/3 – Maintenance (responder, shopping cart, hosting) your budget wont be equal parts for each! But just make sure there are 3 parts allocated. The idea is to make sure you account for all the aspects why??!! No one told you it takes money to be successful online?? Well, it does..or at least the resources/ingenuity to get those things that cost money. You have to make time to implement all of those free marketing tips that may not be free but will be helpful IF you act on them… Money=time and time=money so either way you look at it you’re going to be spending money. KEY 2) a Written Plan A plan “in your head” is rarely enough unless it is MEMORISED WELL… WRITTEN is the key Why? Because, it forces you to think and research and actually map out your budget, and it will stop you from being distracted by the next free marketing tip you come across… You should have a marketing plan and a marketing calendar to track your marketing efforts. You could have a plan in your head if it was something simple like spend 5 hours a day voice broadcasting and 1 hour a day producing and uploading videos. If this was your plan 7 days a week it would be easy to remember and implement so it would be OK to have it in your head:-) But do remember that the old saying does hold true Quote: quote: ——————————————————————————– Those who fail to plan, are planning to fail ——————————————————————————– its not about being long, wordy, fancy or elaborate. It IS about having a road map that covers all the bases so you can KNOW what comes next. Free Marketing Tip #2 Write or memorize a plan Free Marketing Tip #3 Follow That Plan Free Marketing Tip #4 Follow That Plan for 12 months or until you’re making at least $5000 a month… This is why you need a mentor… Free Marketing Tip #5 Make sure your mentor who knows how to make money online is aware of your plan has reviewed it and is keeping you on track with weekly phone calls to monitor your progress. Free Marketing Tip#6 If you don’t have a mentor GET ONE! Free Marketing Tip #7 F-O-C-U-S on your plan… and nothing else till you make $5000 a month or it’s been 12 months.. For example you could commit to the above plan to focus mainly on the voice broadcasting related tasks for five hours a day and one hour a day on the videos until you made $5000 a month. You could commit to doing that for twelve months or until you turned a profit of $5000 per month and then rework your plan when either of those things happen. I see too many people make plans and then change them after 3 months saying IT DIDN’T WORK! Bullswollop! 9 times out of 10 plans don’t produce results because people don’t follow them for long enough. 12 months or $5000 per month for 2 months running is a fantastic way to keep yourself on track, so you commit to doing the same thing for 12 straight months or making a sizeable sum before you move on… This is the thing to remember, the more time you spend on a plan, the higher your chances of producing results-IE money with that plan… Once a plan has made you money you will be motivated to follow through with it so the twelve month rule is no longer necessary. Have you ever noticed how many forum posts go something like this: “Hi, I just started a (blog, website, business), and I have done (this, that and the other thing). Can someone tell me what to do next? how do I ________?” Well, that person definitely does NOT have a plan. When you have a plan, you are ALREADY PREPARED for “what do I do next” You know when to do it and how much it costs, because you already researched it, and MEMORIZED IT. You spend more time WORKING THE PLAN, then figuring out what “to do next” A plan also allows you to gauge your pace and level of success. Are you on track, off track, behind schedule or ahead of it? How will you know without a plan? Here is a quote that summarizes this Quote: quote: ——————————————————————————– It is IMPOSSIBLE to Improve something you cannot track or measure, and its almost impossible to measure something without a plan ——————————————————————————– Which of these things is completed successfully with quality and has no written plan A College Degree Building A House Starting A Business Retirement A Bus Route An Airplane Flight Path THATS A TRICK QUESTION! The answer is NONE OF THE ABOVE. If you ever see a successful model of one of the above…someone, somewhere created and commited to a plan. Would you spend your money to be involved with any of the above, if you knew the people in charge had NO PLAN??? Key 3) Get A Mentor/Coach-THAT IS MAKING MONEY ONLINE! If you think this is an expense you can not afford..then YOU ARE IGNORANT…not stupid, just ignorant of the truth that coaching, like advertising is not an expense, but an investment A NECESSITY The truth is YOU CANNOT afford NOT to have a mentor/coach..not if you want to achieve greatness…if OPRAH has a coach…don’t you need one? Every champion has a coach…EVERY, single one of them. Now, if you are fortunate enough to get one to do it for free…then count your blessings and do not abuse the relationship…follow instructions to the letter. I was helping a woman for a while. She didnt do the homework assigned, gave me objections when I gave her helpful advice, and worked on everything except getting herself together. Despite me sternly telling her to start taking this seriously several times, and giving FREE sessions…she refused to appreciate the situation. I charge $150 per hour for coaching…She was getitng it free, after hours. When I told her I would no longer do it, because she was constantly telling me why things couldn’t be done, she got upset. But the fact is, there are people who APPRECIATE what I do AND PAY ME, and so there was no point wasting my time on someone not serious about their goals. Now you may think it was because she was getting coaching for free…it was not. I fire PAYING clients who do not follow directions also…it’s a waste of my time and energy. I only want to help those who WANT to be helped. My time is important to me, and I demand it be respected…the same as I respect others time. Regardless of how much money is involved, if any at all. The truth is many people SAY they want to be successful, but are not truly willing to do what it takes. If you find a coach or mentor – appreciate and respect them! Their time is valuable and they will help you: ==Save Money (they know where to get things for the best price and quality) ==Make Money (they know the tricks to increase performance) ==Get Free stuff (they know the secrets…) ==Succeed (they have been there, done that, got a T-shirt and taught a class about it..) Having a Mentor or Coach is a crucial step that many overlook, and therefore beat their head against the wall over and over again wondering why they don’t get anywhere. KEY 4) Operate with integrity Tell people upfront that it takes time and energy to make money online! Make sure they know this,because in the beginning it takes a lot of time or a lot of money to make money, you can have no money and succeed or you can have little time and succeed by investing WISELY with a coach that knows what they are doing. Just remember YOU CAN DO IT:-) ================
