How To Become Successful Online
People will always tell you that you need at least one of these things to become successful online.
You see, this is just another one of the many myths in the Internet Marketing world.
It is a ploy carefully designed by some to scare people off before they even begin (to eliminate potential competition), and an excuse used by many to justify their lack of success.
Well I'm living proof that this is just a myth.
In October last year I was doing OK financially, but I had no 'name', no contacts and had never even tried to build a list.
By November I had not only created a name for myself, a healthy responsive list and an impressive Rolodex of contacts, but had also generated over 7 figures in sales. (Despite consistently being told it could not be done.)
The exciting thing is, I now know how you can do the same. And without any of the myths or lies.
Some myths are harmless and will have little impact on your likelihood of success. But I have come to realize that there are also many that will dictate the potential outcome of your life. That is, until you break free of them.
There are a lot of ways to make money online. Some more simple than others, and some that will make you more than others.
Unfortunately Almost All of Them Fail to Give You Security
It was only very recently that I realized this.
I guess, like many making a living online, I had been aware of it unconsciously. The nagging 'what if?' feeling.
What if Google changes its algorithms, what if eBay changes its terms and conditions, what if the CPA network decides it is no longer profitable to offer the program I am promoting any more. What if...
The reality is that all of these what ifs do happen. It is not really 'what if?', but 'when?'
Don't get me wrong, I still use all of these methods to generate money. But I no longer rely on any of them. They are just a bonus. If any one of them stopped working for me tomorrow, I am still going to be OK.
Why? Because now my core business is based on a sustainable model. And it is far more profitable too.
Most people have the wrong idea about making money online.
Building a solid, stable income online has nothing to do with...
* Using blackhat techniques to try and trick the search engines into ranking your site highly
* Focusing on the latest trend (be it social media, affiliate marketing or CPA)
* Relying on anything far beyond your control (such as adsense)
They may seem like a great idea, especially if you're already struggling to earn any sort of income online. I know, because I've been there.
I got to a point where I was desperate for some decent income, and every system looked as though it had the key to my financial salvation.
At one time I was so busy trying to make money I failed to stop and see what all of the 'big boys' were really doing.
One Piece of Advice I Can Give You: Do NOT Listen to the Gurus
If there is one piece of advice I can give you, it is not to listen to the 'Gurus'. Study more from what they do than what they say. Look to see if what they are teaching matches what they are doing.
Many make more money teaching you what to do, than they do from actually doing it themselves.
If you buy into all of the hype, lies, and inflated figures, where does it get you? At the end of the day, you're back at square one (or even worse off after spending thousands of dollars on useless products).
It all feels like a waste of time. The returns are minimal and, despite all the promises, you are no closer to quitting your day job.
If you are looking to create a business - a real long term cash machine, something you can always rely on for years to come, or even sell for a healthy profit - then you need to think (and act) differently.
If you have rent, a mortgage, bills to pay, or a family to feed you will understand the need for a stable income.
As said, there are many different ways to generate income online. While they all have their benefits, (Adsense, CPA, Affiliate Marketing and other similar models) they just don't give you that stability.
Don't get me wrong, these are all great ways of supplementing your online cashflow with some recurring income. The problem is, they rely too much on external factors, such as Google's mood of the day.
I know plenty of people - myself included - who have had their income disappear overnight. Their cost per click suddenly went up or their sites got slapped and all because Google decided to change their algorithms - again!
It's painful when you realise that the success of all your hard work is in the hands of someone else.
When you think about it, it's no different to having a day job...
You can put in all the time, money and effort to build yourself a nice stable income online. But if someone higher up decides that they don't like the way things are working anymore, all your hard work comes crumbling down and your income drops to zero.
(Imagine how much more painful this is if you quit your job to rely on this income...)
Whether it's a major company like Google or the owner of an affiliate product, someone else is always holding all the cards
