The World Internet Main Event
I am not sure if anyone has ever been to a “marketing event” before but I must say that if you plan on getting into this type of business, it is a must that you attend at least one in your life. The motivational level is so high that you feel you can achieve anything when you leave, not to mention all the people you will meet. In about 7 weeks or so, the World Internet Main Event will be held here in
My Mindset I have been online for a year now trying to do whatever it is that these gurus do to make that much in a month in such a short period of time. I realized that you can’t make money like that unless you get and understand the fundamentals of owning your own internet business. There is no possible way for me, realistically, to do this on my own. I need to be around like minded people who are interested in the same type of businesses that I want to pursue. There will be a point in your education that you will have to say to yourself that, it’s time to further myself and cross that line of just sitting in your room learning and buying every pretty new product out there to stepping out and start from the beginning. Yes, I make some money on the net doing only affiliate marketing and article marketing. That’s it. I want to learn the basics of every aspect of the internet business world and blogging not just internet marketing. For those of you spending all that money on the latest greatest things, stop. Do some soul searching as to what exactly you want to accomplish with your endeavors. Research your passions and interests, look into your past, reveal your skills from your current or past employments and start writing about them. Learn to Blog. I too went through a period of failure and soul searching… The Focus
Soon as I focused on what exactly I wanted to accomplish, I started to make money. That focus could have been to get my website built, to brainstorm a domain name, finding keywords, or getting my autoresponder set up. Make sure you find those past products or software products that you just had to have and could not resist that sales letter, and write a review on it. Get them out and study them, all those products DO have some winning nugget that you can use and apply to where you are at in your business.
I will say that you need to have the patience and mindset for this type of business. I have had many late nights and frustration filled days that made me want to just give up and forget this. I always used to think that all the real money makers in marketing who started were back in the year 2000 and that they were going to be the only ones that always will be the money makers. Not true. There are still so many ways to earn money online and niches out there that are untapped and ready to be found. You don’t have to invent the next best thing, just make what is already working better and make it unique. I know, it is easier said than done. Of course, the best way to start is with affiliate marketing. We all have to start somewhere and make our presence online. You must find someone that you are able to learn from, or a program that you can get started with. That is very important. To find that one program, person or product that will change your mindset for this business. Learn how to manage your time and learn how to budget your money, buying only the tools and information that will help you along the way. Do not get side tracked buy those quick money making schemes or those begin your online business in 30 days, type products. I have personally been there and done that and I have wasted too much money. I will not knock all of them, because there were some with some valuable information but never enough to get you started. They peak your interest, then leave you hanging. No matter how you look at it, you have to start at the bottom and work your way up. The hardest part is taking that first step and getting started.
