eBooks are electronic.
If you give one away, it could multiply and end up in the hands of thousands of people.
We are all in a different boat, but on the same body of water.
Make sure you build a sound ship so you can ride out the waves.
The internet is a massive mechanism that is in a constant state of flux.
Find your passion, be persistent, and focus on your path.
Google was not always the force it is today.
This is an exciting opportunity.
Do not to have all your eggs in one basket.
If you diversify, you do not have to freak out when Google makes changes.
You could drag more information and knowledge from a forum that is more accurate and up to date than a book could ever be.
Forums provide a place for you to come daily for new information, tips, and advice.
There are forums about everything.
It depends on how much time you have, but they can be a great source of information even if you just hang out.
Although participating will enable you to get your questions answered.
One of the most important things we need to learn is how to make our content pre-sell.
Unfortunately, many internet marketers are terrible writers.
You can have the prettiest website in the world, but if your content does not sell, you will get nowhere.
Everyone's situation is different.
Create a plan to reach your goals.
It is the moment you realize that you know enough.
A lot of people get into a trap of buying eBooks after eBooks and courses after courses looking for the magic formula to success.
Some of it stems from laziness.
Until that day we realize the formula is never easy and that we already know how to be a success online.
People have spent thousands of dollars looking for the magic formula, but they never find it.
It is so important to choose a path that is suited to you.
After you have decided what path is best, then maybe buy a few eBooks related to that path.
But commit to it and do not be distracted because you see everyone else running to the “big new thing”.
Everyone is going to be selling you something.
All of them will convince you it is the next best thing, but they are just selling something.
Focus on a specific area and get to work.
Do not get bogged down by purchasing every new thing that comes along.
This will never stop.
There will always be new products, but you need to know when to stop.
It is a bit of an addiction but admitting you have a problem is the first step.
Start putting your money into your business instead of information products.
If you want to start competing with other search engines, start hanging out in other search engine areas in the forum and start asking questions.
There is more to life than Google.
No one puts all their advertising in one place.
Just one Google change could bring your whole business crashing to the ground.
You could also ask some questions about Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising.
PPC is a way to get targeted traffic from the Search Engines.
You only pay when someone clicks your advertisement.
There are a lot of different ways to get traffic besides Google.
Start writing articles and offering them to people to use on their websites.
You can create a viral eBook that gets spread around and brings people to your product.
You can try classified advertising or find some electronic magazines related to your website with good lists.
You can also make Press Releases.
They are free and if done right, can drive good traffic.
The internet is in a continuous state of change.
There are more ways.
Joint Ventures (JVs) alone can create great opportunities to make money or grow your lists.
You do not have to live by search engines alone.
There are a lot of opportunities for you to promote your products and services so do not get caught in any one rut.
Big moves by big players are changing the landscape and opening major avenues of opportunity.
The internet is growing, changing, and developing into a place that will carry great opportunity for all of us into the future.
It will be a vicious environment.
Big companies will shake the internet with their moves for domination and power.
But small businesses will thrive in this environment, silently making money alongside the big companies.
So much opportunity, so little time.
Once you hang around for a while it seems like opportunities are coming out of the woodwork.
It becomes overwhelming.
It is difficult to decide what to do and what not to do.
Then once you do decide the things you are going to do, you then must organize your time in such a way to get things done.
Priority is one approach to whittling down to what you want to do.
Once you have figured that out, create a timeline to accomplish things.
Do one thing at a time.
The main thing is to see things to the finish line.
It is better to do one thing well and complete it than do a bunch of things poorly and never finish anything completely.
Sometimes it will be difficult to stay focused.
Not everything you are going to be doing will be fun.
Try not to think of the tasks at hand.
Do not think about how difficult what you are doing is.
Concentrate on the results you are going to get.
Focus on what the benefits of your actions will be.
Then it is just a matter of setting specific goals to complete things and disciplining yourself to reach those goals.
Blogging is a hot topic.
Everyone seems to have one.
Everyone who is cool has one.
It is because there is a continuous stream of fresh content on blogs.
Search engines love that.
You could do the same thing on your website without having a blog function.
You could simply write a little content and upload it to your website.
Blogs are a great opportunity and there are many ways to make money with them.
Find ways to get quality links organically.
Writing articles, create really good content that people want to link to.
Linking is what makes the internet what it is.
The internet is designed to be a continuous web of websites all interconnected, providing an information landscape with no limits to what you can learn and find.
Search engines always in some fashion consider the outbound, inbound, and internal linking of your site.
Linking to things makes your resource more valuable.
The more valuable it is, the more important it becomes to the visitors.
Email marketing remains a very important part of internet marketing strategies.
It does not matter the size of your business.
It is a way to create a community and to keep people connected to your products and services.
It has gotten a more difficult to deliver emails with spam filters.
You need to make sure that you do not get flagged as a spammer and that your email gets delivered to the destination.
You can also get Autoresponders to help you deliver emails over long periods of times in intervals.
Building email lists is an important tool for your business.
This is the beautiful thing about the internet, so many possibilities.
The truth about blogging that most developers do not want you to know is that it is easy to set up when you know how to do it.
It is absolutely an essential part of your business to stay in contact with your list.
It is important to have a reliable and professional solution for your email campaigns.
You need to find an email marketing site that is easy to use but provides professional results.
In the beginning you will not have a large list.
You will not know how big your list will become.
You will need to find a solution that can grow with you.
As your list grows, so will your revenue.
You can change the content, shape, size, and color.
Once someone inputs their email to sign up for your list, they are taken to a separate page and given the opportunity to verify their information and provide them with any additional information.
It is so easy to use, limitless, and professional.
Email marketing is an easy, affordable, and effective way to market to a specific audience.
It saves a company time by enabling them to send out thousands of emails in minutes.
No stamps, no printing, and no mail service make it an attractive decision monetarily.
The recipients receive the information in minutes instead of weeks.
Most people will open the email within 48 hours.
Using email services, the distribution can be tracked effortlessly.
You will know what has been sent, returned, opened, clicked through, and if someone has unsubscribed instantly.
The most effective campaigns will have a highly targeted list and will be permission-based.
Permission-based means you are marketing to people who have given you permission to send them something specific.
The only way someone gets on one of these lists is if that person specifically requests to be added.
The usual technique is to provide a form for the person to sign up on a website.
Building an opt-in email list is one of the most important things to do if you are going to be successful in the long run.
It may take some time to collect them, but in the end, the result is an audience that gains your trust and generates ongoing income.
It helps you target products and services to specific groups of people.
Using newsletters, you can promote and sell to the market that is interested in what you have to offer.
It is not as productive to send a generic newsletter that talks about everything under the sun.
It wastes the recipient’s time and your resources.
Developing specific categories and focusing the information you are providing is key to having an effective email marketing campaign.
It is better to build your own list.
If you do decide to buy a list, make sure that it is a legitimate vendor.
Many lists you will find are garbage.
They can be outdated, not permission-based, or passed on from other non-legitimate sources.
Be very careful, you will want to make sure it is an opt-in or permission-based list, you do not want to be accused of spamming.
Even if a person on the list opted in sometime in the past, they may have forgotten, they obviously do not know who you are and why they are receiving something from you, or they have been so overwhelmed with emails that you are the last straw and become the target.
If someone promises to blast 5 million emails out for you, get ready for a large percentage of those to bounce back into your inbox.
The bigger the promise the more careful you should be.
Research the company, try calling them, ask them a few questions about where the list comes from.
Check the Better Business Bureau.
Do some searches on search engines.
Spamming is simply sending emails to people without their permission.
It is a terrible practice that just hurts the legitimate business.
If you are discovered to be spamming, many terrible things can happen.
You could lose credibility and develop a bad reputation with an ISP or Web Hosting Service, this could result in you essentially being shut down.
If your case is bad, expect legal action, fines, or even imprisonment.
Always have an “unsubscribe” or “opt out” link and/or instructions.
The recipient must be given the opportunity to stop receiving your emails in every email.
If they do unsubscribe you have 10 days to complete the request.
There must be a legitimate “From” address, domain name, and IP Address.
The subject line must be relevant and accurate.
And you must include your Physical Address.
Email marketing can be powerful.
This is a business.
Just like any business on or offline the key to long term success is to build a long-term relationship, take care of people, respect their time, and provide them with service that they need, or ask for.
There is more to success than someone telling you an opportunity will work.
If you have a burning desire to succeed, it is not enough.
You must find your passion.
Everyone is different.
You must find opportunity that reflects your personality.
You will ultimately fail if there is conflict within you.
You will not succeed or at least you will not be happy.
You either love it, tolerate it, or hate it.
Learn to love it and it will line your pockets with cash.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The phrase 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of humanity.
Persistence is the only way you will find your way to the top.
Anyone you see succeeding is there only because they kept on keeping on.
The most successful people in the world have tripped and fallen on many occasions.
Millionaires are born out of trial and error.
Persistence has no guaranteed timeline.
It assumes its own course.
There are no rules or statistics that can predict the results of any venture, but through persistence we can tilt the odds in our favor.
The internet is filled with promises of quick riches.
Somewhere along the line society has convinced us that you can become rich overnight; we fall for this repeatedly.
You can become an overnight success, but you probably will not.
You will more likely become successful with a long term, persistent effort.
These quick rich promises are simply empty.
The only ones getting rich are the ones making these promises, you will not.
This is a business.
Unfortunately, many people that come online to seek their fortunes do not have a business background and are easily lured into a scam or scheme.
They do not know what to look for and cannot recognize the signs of unrealistic promises.
The first thing a person needs to do if they decide to pursue something online is to do their homework.
Know your playing field, know the rules of the game, and become familiar with the other players.
Their motives are not always just.
The internet is laced with fraudulent activities, scam artists, and bad business practices.
There are legitimate businesses and opportunities online.
