You can prove Internet marketing works and ELIMINATE that fear now.

For every person that has ever asked me, “is Internet marketing real”, “can I make money with it”, “is it a real job”, and the other hundreds of forms of those same questions, here’s a little test for you to conduct.

Get an Aweber or a Getresponse account.

Pick a product to promote within that niche.

Find a couple of PLR ebooks, audio or videos, and set up a squeeze page.

Now drive some traffic to it, in the form of forum marketing [simply write a couple of free reports and plaster your site name all over the reports – then distribute them all over the forums], article marketing [lots of articles – lots of article directories, you know the drill], or any other means that you prefer. [I like PPV right now, but that’s just me.]

Yes, I know, it’s slow and boring to build traffic, but just do it to get 800 – 1,000 subscribers.

Make sure that your AUTORESPONDER goes something like:

1. Introduction – give them the goodies.
2. Talk a little bit about who you are and how you’ll help them – and give another PLR/your own report that’ll help.
3. Teach ‘em something.
4. Teach ‘em something.
5. Start teaching them something that your CHOSEN AFFILIATE PRODUCT elaborates and expands upon clearly. In this email, simply stick a “if you want to read more, go here…” type of link. NO hard-selling.
6. Hype up and rant about how great the aff marketing product is. Hard-sell. Review it. Do whatever, and insert plenty of links and reasons to WHY ITS BENEFICIAL FOR THEM TO BUY THIS EBOOK.
7. Start from step 3, but include an extra information phase or two [totaling 3-4] before pitching them that same, or a different product again.

Okay, got all that?

Here’s the shocker.

I guarantee you that you’ll make money from that. And prove to yourself and everyone else that it’s possible to make money online.

And from there, all you do is SCALE. Forget the 1,000 list. Get a 100,000 list. If you made $350 from that 1,000 list, you can add a couple of zeros to your paycheck the day you send out an affiliate ad to your 100,000 list, right?

I just wanted to clear this up for everyone. You can make money online. It’s not a myth. I don’t see how people are STILL asking whether it’s real or not.

DO THIS. And then come back and tell me that IM isn’t real money.

What are you willing to sacrifice?

13 February 2010 | Vadym

Sorry that I haven’t posted anything in a little while now, but I’ve been in a little bit of a rut.

That’s right! Even after 3 years of Internet marketing, I still have ruts. I still can’t concentrate some days. I still stall, and procrastinate.

I’ve been thinking for the past couple of days, reflecting on what I’ve achieved in IM, and what I still WANT to achieve.

I’ve also been thinking about what I’ve sacrificed to get where I am.

I’m talking girl friends, I’m talking friends, I’m talking a part of my school years that I should’ve been enjoying myself while I was sitting in front of the computer, learning a new source of traffic generation. I’m talking beaches, vacations, parties and just about everything you could do to relax.

I’ve made a lot of sacrifices… and hell, I haven’t even hit 20 yet.

And were these sacrifices worth it?

Simply put…

YES.

Because now, my life is beginning to shape EXACTLY the way I wanted it to.

My disposable income is flourishing. I have MORE time to do the things I enjoy, and to accomplish things that I want to do.

I am slowly achieving permanent FREEDOM, which is the one thing in the world that I want more than anything.

To be able to pick up and go on a vacation tomorrow. To see the new toy and grab it without thinking twice of it.

I’m getting exactly what I came into the Internet marketing game for.

Which brings me to my main point…

If you want a BETTER quality of life, and you’re determined that Internet marketing is the way you’re going to get it, don’t be afraid of work.

Don’t be afraid of your projects and don’t be afraid to fail.

Don’t be afraid to sacrifice a part of your life to improve it on such a large scale.

Because you’re going to do all of this any way… Why procrastinate, waste time, and achieve your goals 5 years later than you could.

Even in my young age I realize that we don’t stay young forever, and the more time we waste now, the less time we have to enjoy ourselves when we DO have the means to do it later.

If you’re willing to sacrifice something to better your life, spending hundreds of hours that you could be spending with your friends, family and beloved pets, you’re going to see results.

Now it’s only up to YOU to decide if the sacrifice is worth it.
