Very Few People Are Successful at Being Able to Earn Money Online

On 10.24.10, In Business, By Stevie Wonder

Very few people become successful at being able to earn money online due to the sheer amount of work and time it takes in order to become worthwhile. In the beginning, we think that it takes a little bit of work but until you actually start, you realize that it’s far more then we could have ever imagined. The uphill battle of this business will knock off over 90% of the people trying to climb up this mountain. It’s a mental battle that most people just can’t handle. It’s not that they aren’t capable, it’s just that their desire is not strong enough. This means the ones who are able to stick to it long enough will make it.

However, there is good news in this too. If you stay around long term, using white hat methods, you will eventually succeed if you continue doing lots of work. The reason it’s a good thing is because that just shows why so few people become successful at making money online. Most people just don’t have what it takes. If you can prove that you are one of the people that do have what it takes, you’ll prove far more to yourself and that you’re special and able to do what most people cannot.

This also means that if you are going to stick it out, you don’t have to worry about competition in the long run. Some people may give you a good run at first but most people quit within six months. If you want to succeed, expect to be in the business for around 3 to 5 years.Obviously you would get results far sooner than that, but expecting to see results after years of work is a better indicator of success. You should see results in about a year’s worth of work however. If you think this is hard work, you should think of the alternative, which is working till you’re 65. That’s far longer than 3-5 years, that amount of time is nothing in comparison.

We all have income goals for this internet marketing business and at times it can seem so far away that if you don’t see the same increases month after month, it can be discouraging. Just like we shouldn’t judge at our Adsense growth on an hour to hour basis, perhaps we should look at our income growth on a quarterly, bi-yearly, or even on a yearly basis. 6 months time, gains for most people were over 500%. Try getting that with any other investment. It also helps if you have a passion for whatever you’re doing, so that it keeps you sane. Working so much with no results for such a long time, you better want to work on it, or you’ll quit very shortly thereafter.

The Downfalls of Local Marketing

On 07.25.10, In Make Money Online, Uncategorized, By Stevie Wonder

It is no secret that the field of online marketing is heavily saturated and there is a ton of competition. Due to this, there has been a lot of talk in the Internet marketing world about local marketing and some marketers are starting to go local with their business efforts. Being a local marketer includes having to solicit local businesses and convincing them to hire a marketer to market their business online. While there is no doubt that a person could make a decent living from being an online marketer, the lifestyle would be completely different than the lifestyle of an online marketer. Believe it or not, there are still a few great ways to become a successful Internet marketer, which you may want to consider given the downfalls of local marketing.

Here are a few examples of the possible downfalls you could run into if you decided to become a local marketer:

  • With local marketing, you would constantly be in face to face meetings with clients and potential clients. Even if you are great with face to face meetings, it would take away from the time you would actually get to spend marketing.
  • You would need to be available for phone calls any time of the day and be the customer service voice of your company and brand. This restricts how often and when you would be able to take time off work for vacations and other things. Many people get into online marketing due to the time freedom it provides and this benefit would be gone with local marketing.
  • Local marketers have to see the people they do business with all over town. You will run into them at the grocery store, at your kid’s sporting or school events and so on. You are going to need to prepared for questions they may have when running into them in a casual setting and you are also going to be able to take accountability face to face if they are not happy with your services.
  • Summing the downfalls up, local marketing is more like running an ad agency than it is marketing someone’s business online. The overhead is going to be higher and you are going to have to prepare for being out of your office more than you are going to be in it.

Sometimes when people hear the downfalls of local marketing, they realize that its not the lifestyle that they want to have, but they also still want their career to be in online marketing. As mentioned however, the online marketing field is really competitive, so how does one get into it and be successful? The key these days is becoming a niche marketer, which is a person who targets specific niches to market rather than marketing to the masses. If you can find a niche that the Internet user is searching for but there is very little information out there on it, than in the marketing world, that is considered gold.

Make sure to do your research before you decide whether you want to take your marketing efforts and apply them to local businesses or whether you want to keep those efforts online. While there are downfalls to local marketing, some people might prefer that type of interaction and work tactic over online marketing and vice versa.

Learn How To Make Money On Google

On 02.18.10, In Make Money Online, By Stevie Wonder

If you’re looking for a way to generate an extra source of income you may want to consider using the very device you are connected to at the moment; The Internet.  By building your own website and learning how to monetize it, you too can tap into the Internet Marketing riches that are providing an extra income to thousands of people all around the globe. Even if you already own a website that isn’t designed to generate revenue, you may still be able to make money on Google with a few simple changes. Google offers several programs that can be used to start you on the road to making money on the Internet.  Two of these programs are called AdWords and AdSense.

AdWords is a program designed for online businesses.  It’s an advertising program, where Google posts ads for your site on search queries related to whatever product or service you’re offering.  This kind of marketing increases the likelihood that your ads are going to be noticed and followed up on.  And, since Google usually charges on a per-click basis, you’re not going to be wasting your money on useless ads that no one sees. Every ad you pay for is an ad that’s been seen and clicked on, and if your website is good at converting those visitors to cash then you should be able to create a profit.

If you don’t really know how to make money on the site you have, Google AdSense is probably going to be more up your alley. Google only has so many ads they can post on a search engine result page, and they’ve got a lot of clients.  That means they’re very interested in finding other places to advertise – after all, the more ads they can get working, the more money they can make from their clients.  So Google can post ads on your website – related to your topic material, of course – and you get a cut of their profits in exchange for the ad space.  You don’t have to do anything or pay any fees, and if your website has a good turnover of visitors, you could make a decent paycheck every month.

So, whether you’ve got a good online business going that you want to pump up, or if you just want to know if your online ramblings can make money on the side, Google tools can help you make your wallet a little thicker.

Three Tips for Protecting Yourself from Online Scams

On 02.16.10, In Make Money Online, By Stevie Wonder

Sharing knowledge on how to make money online or how to make money with Google may offer a price tag for some, but for others all information pertaining to generating an income should be absolutely free. Would you argue for or against this?

The online world is full of “sharketers” – marketers who are as subtle and predatory as sharks. They claim that the Internet has different rules than the real world. They treat the Internet like it’s merely a tool to make money and care very little for people who lose money on their useless products. As a matter of fact, they may have dozens of products that don’t deliver on any of its promises. People buy into them because of shrewd wording, ignorance, and inexperience in Internet Marketing.

How can you protect yourself?

Here are three very important tips to remember:

1. Be aware. Knowledge is power, and so having knowledge of current scams can help you avoid wasting your money and possibly having your identity stolen in the process. There are several websites that list current and previous online scams and how they operate. Some are official, like government sites telling you to watch out for “phishing” scams – scams that pose emails from financial institutions so that you can enter your information online, allowing them to have access to it. Others are not official, but are still accurate in their information. Information on scams are just like vaccinations: you should always keep them up to date.

2. Use common sense. Don’t store your personal or financial information on your computer. Don’t give out your private information to any website that isn’t protected, especially if you know there’s no reason that website would ask for your private information. Most financial institutions and even government sponsored sites will tell you up front that they will never ask for your password, social security or credit card number. This means that if you receive an email saying that they need your information, it’s not from them.

3. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Realistically speaking, unless someone won the lottery, there is no way in the world that they made hundreds of thousands of dollars overnight, or even in a month. Examine the claims being made on the website carefully. If your instincts are telling you it’s false, listen to them. They’re probably right.
