The #1 skill you need to make money online

I hope you're all recharged after the weekend....

OK... Time to get down to business!

*The Million Dollar Question*

Q. How to Make Money Online?

For just one second here, I need you to forget about the hype. I am going to

I see and hear so many people out there who claim they are making_big bucks online. But to tell the truth....I think 99% of them are complete utter liars.

The way they are marketing and the quality of their ads brings a tear to my eye. I just know it isn't working for them. It's really unfortunate because I can tell they are trying.

And, what's worse.....

...they are losing a lot of cash 'trying' in the process. They are what I call victims to the vicious no-hoper cycle.

The majority of people online see the internet as a place to get rich quick and the claims they are made to believe make it look so easy to copy for anyone with or without knowledge or a brain for that matter.

And, it's more times than not, those claims are coming from those who aren't making money at all but plainly lying their way to your wallets hoping you'll fall for what they fell for and copy the same methods they use.....

It's a very VICIOUS cycle indeed....be aware!

But the reason for these failures comes down to these 2 big problems...

- - - - - -
Problem 1.
- - - - - -

People DON'T KNOW basic marketing principles.

They don't know....

* how to set up there business professionally,

* how to choose a hot 'buying' market,

* how to appeal to their market

* how to use strategy in their marketing

Basically, it comes down to not knowing "How to sell".

- - - - - -
Problem 2.
- - - - - -

The website or ad they use DOESN'T SELL!

Writing words that sell is such a vital point in advertising on the web. One wrong word in the wrong place can make or break an advertising campaign.

A lot of people make mistakes with their copy writing such as...

* Not using easily understood language

* Not using "triggers" in their copy

* Confusing their web site visitor

* Design (color/size) of website or ad


If you're going to make it, make it work the first time, because on the web, you don't often get a second chance.

Marketing is like racing a Formula 1 car. If you don't have every part tuned for optimum performance, you're not going to win the race.

So, if you find yourself coming last in the on-line marketing race, I suggest you change the way you're going about marketing your business, product or program.

Take a look at this and see if it won't help you...(I think it will ;)

Effective Web Site Advertising With Video

Everyone needs more traffic to their web site, and traffic is the product of effective advertising.

Where are you advertising?

-PPC (Adwords, Yahoo Sponsored Search)?

-Link Exchanges?

-Traffic Exchanges?

-Squidoo?

-SEO (Search Engine Optimization)?

-Classifieds?

-Forums?

-FFA (Free For All)?

-Youtube?

-Instant Buzz?

.....and the list goes on...

Writing effective ad copy is hard in a competetive niche. But who says you need to write anything to advertise?

Video is sweeping the internet world.

Making a short video (I saw a 5 second video of a chipmunk yesterday that was awesome) and uploading it to a video exchange site such as the dominant Youtube.com, is going to get you a lot of free publicity.

Have your web site's URL on a cool little video of anything.....as long as it's related to your web site in someway but be creative :) and the visitors will come.

It's the next best thing to advertising on national television....or it could be better, as the internet is the world wide web!

Of course there are a few "secrets" to getting the most out of your video marketing, and that's where I can help you out.

I have a great package to take you from "Youtube Zero to Youtube Pro" in a flash.

The Formula For Marketing Success

A run down on how to successfully market (to any market).

You need to get this right if you want to succeed on the
internet or any business for that matter.

There are 4 parts to marketing.

1. A target market (a group of people with a common
interest eg. body builders)

2. A product (physical or digital)

3. An offer (to get the sale $$$)

4. Delivery of the product (satisfy the customer)

You take away any one of these parts and you're not
going to be in business very long. However, there is
a special formula to make these pieces work together
for pr.ofit.

** You need the right market
** You need the right product
** You need the right time

Just think of it like fishing. Go to the wrong place
and the fish won't bite. Use the wrong bait..the fish
won't bite. Go at the wrong time....no fish!

Whatever you do..don't be trying to sell diet pills
to guys going bald...that's the wrong market and wrong
product.

We can't control time but we can control people's
emotions and impulses to a certain extent. Direct
marketing is all about getting prospects to "act now"
or take some type of action...either try your product
or buy it.

And that brings me to another important point.

Action is needed by you, the marketer to get things
done. Do some research, find a market, find a product,
send out your offer and deliver the goods.

That's the formula for marketing success.
