No one has ever
logged onto the Internet for the first time and started pocketing dollars in a
really short period of time. As with all things in life, there is a learning
curve.
SOME PERSONAL HISTORY
Just a few short years
ago, I was a working stiff just like you.
One day, I bought and read a
book called "Multiple Streams of Income" by bestselling author, Robert Allen.
Immediately, I began my journey.
Every night after work and after my
wife and children went to sleep, I would get online and explore different ways
of using the Internet to make money.
In the 2 years that followed, I
spent over $10,000.00 racking up credit card debt buying eBooks, membership
sites, special reports, opt-in leads, and joining every "guru" recommended
business opportunity that flew into my email inbox...
I stayed up
learning, working and drinking coffee until 5:00 in the morning month after
month filled with the hope of making money online.
In my 3rd year of
working part-time to build an home based income, I finally broke through and
earned over $100,000.00 in just 12 months from the Internet.
BECOME
THE MASTER OF YOUR LEARNING CURVE
Research the lives of all of the
"gurus". The one thing that you will learn is that my own experience is not
unique. Most of the high earners on the Internet experienced a learning curve
very similar to my own.
Chances are that your curve will also be
similar to mine, but it is my hope that you can get to the top faster than even
I did. Three years was a long time to struggle, but every ounce of struggle was
worth the reward I have finally received.
In order to shorten your own
learning curve, you must do a few things differently than the rest of us did.
You must become the master of your learning curve.
THE SHORTEST
DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS A STRAIGHT LINE
There is only one
way to shorten the curve on the Internet:
You must plan to
succeed!
Here is the deal. Most people put up a freebie website and
select a few affiliate programs to add to their website. Right out of the gate,
most people are running for the finish line without any real plan in mind.
After a few short weeks, people begin to see the writing on the wall that
says, "This is going to be a long hard road."
People check their hit
counters daily for six weeks before they realize that getting traffic to their
free site is going to be tough.
At this point, they begin developing
their first batch of advertising. Then they spend countless months finding
places to show their advertisements for free. Some make an even more drastic
mistake by blowing thousands of hard earned dollars on their new and untested
ads.
These are the people who will learn the facts of life the hard
way.
In time, they will learn how to make their advertising work for
them. But most will earn very little money from their affiliate programs.
At this point in the learning curve, most people throw up their hands and
walk away from their dreams in utter disgust. Instead of a walking away point,
this should have convinced the struggling online entrepreneur that they were
simply traveling the wrong road.
YOU MUST PLAN TO SUCCEED
From day one, you must begin to learn about the nuances of web promotion.
Read everything you can get your hands on. Don't just read the hype, back it up
with the opinions of others who have reviewed the same programs before you came
along. Learn from their mistakes and successes.
As you begin to learn,
you must also look to make a decision. Do you want to step into a pre-built
program that is designed to help you to succeed, OR do you want to create a
completely new program of which you are the sole owner?
If you decide
to step into a pre-designed and complete turn-key online money making venture,
then you must select the right venture to step into. If this is your decision,
I encourage you to examine the Plug In Profit Site at: www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-6973
If you
decide to go the journey on your own, then do all of the necessary research,
planning and preparation that is needed for your success.
PREPARE
TO SUCCEED
Decide what you think you would want to do, and then
figure out how your planned site will generate a real income.
Internet
old-timers know about hundreds of corporation domains that existed with IPO
millions, but did not have an actual money plan that could sustain their
business model. Most of these companies were among the hundreds of companies
that bellied up in the 2000 dot bomb experience.
Don't blindly believe
in your plan. Research others on the web who have undertaken similar business
models and see if they have survived. Study your competitors in depth to learn
what is working for them and what did not work for them. To better understand
what has or has not worked for competitor websites, check out their time lapsed
progressions using the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org
Once
you have determined your money plan, then you should undertake the development
of a business plan and a marketing plan. Utilize professional assistance if you
need to do so. While creating your plans, make a determination as to which
domain name you think would be best, then register it along with a hosting
account.
You can do this at Host4Profit:

Once you have developed your business plan and marketing plan and have run
them through several revisions, then it will be time to buy your domain name
and to begin work with a site designer and developer. You may need to have your
domain sitting on a web host for your site developer, but this is not always
necessary. While they are doing their work, enlist a copywriter to help you
with your site sales copy.
When your site designer and developer have
your site working, you should then undertake significant testing to make sure
everything works as planned. It is much harder to fix problems on a operational
site than it is to fix problems on a site that is yet to be launched.
When testing is done, then you should fill in your sales copy and then shoot
for launch. Of course, you already have a marketing plan in place, so your
preparation here will be simply a matter of putting the pieces of the puzzle
into place.
You are finally ready to open for business. Don't be
afraid to spend the money to bring your dream alive. Time can replace money in
the goal of starting a profitable online business, but money invested can shave
years off of your company's growth.
To Your Success!
