A letter from a fellow marketing consultant and website promotion expert...

Sure, I know and WE know that it's a scam and it won't work, but 95% of new Internet entrepreneurs do NOT know this!

Listen, you are a good friend of mine and all the joint ventures we've done, I've sent you some BIG affiliate/JV checks. Obviously, you're one of the few web marketers on the Net who knows what's going on... Who knows the REAL truth about making money online.

You have a good track record, you have experience, you have great credibility... I think it's time you shared your promotion tactics with the "masses."

Show them exactly how you are and how they can easily make money online consistently, using your methods.

Jim,

Thank you for your expert advice. I did exactly what you told me to do at my site and today I am quite excited. I made #1 on google for my best keyword phrase, and also number one at yahoo.

I also placed well in 5 other areas. That was fast. I never would have been able to accomplish that without you. I am finally getting some results. I can't thank you enough.

Jim,

I want to thank you ever so much for the comprehensiveness of your package and how genuinely willing you are to pass on your knowledge.

You are a prime example of someone getting what they want by helping others get what THEY want.

You're a generous person who's not overly proprietary of your knowledge and an excellent example of balanced marketing. I can see why it comes back to you in spades.

Thanks very much. When I get where I'm going, part of the credit goes to you and I'm more than happy to sing about that.


Blessings,

"OK Jim, I suffered through your tale of mediocrity, now how about telling me exactly how the heck you are bringing in all this money?"

Fair enough, here we go…

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. Breeze over this list so you have an idea of what the rest of this page will cover. Then I’ll answer each question for you in detail.

Now let’s 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. It is quite possible, you are not yet ready to fully grasp every detail I am about to cover. But I promise to help you through this learning curve, so bear with me. I’ve helped thousands of folks before you and I know my system works. Remember -- it is my life, so I know what I’m talking about.

#1: 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 don’t 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 you start experiencing how simple it is to make money on your own, 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, you’ll be letting the biggest opportunity for the average person ever, go right past you!

You probably have every single thing you need already...

A computer. You already own one or you wouldn’t be reading this right now.

Internet access. Again, you’re all set there.

The ability to follow directions. Hey, you got this far didn’t you?

A proven, no-hype expert to guide you along the way. That’s 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... which means, stop trying to do everything at once... start off slow.

You may even need to forget everything you may think constitutes being in business, and remember this simple formula for success...

If you are serious about achieving long-term, reliable income online, you must start your own business first. Once you've taken this crucial first step, then you'll 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...

#2: Exactly what should you be selling on the Internet?

Ahh.. the big question. Exactly what should you be marketing, or selling on the Internet? That’s 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.)

Here’s 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!

And remember, 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 person’s 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, I’ll 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.

What’s 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. Here’s 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 that’s it. I earn fifty bucks every time. You won’t 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.

While writing this letter I ran a few quick commission reports and they showed that I've earned more than $6,300 this month from affiliate programs. Many months I earn much more from these companies. How? 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 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.
