WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED

I attended a gathering of online merchants recently. Many of them were newbies, and hadn't even set up their first website. I found out that quite a few had invested a considerable amount of money on internet marketing programs. Some had even attended internet marketing bootcamps run by some of the web's most successful internet marketers.

Some of these 'newbies' started exploring internet marketing almost two years ago, and had yet to try to apply anything they had learnt. No websites. Not a semblance of an affiliate program. Not even a blog. A threesome told me that they had purchased a very expensive online store package but hadn't made a start on their websites, They asked if I and my husband, Andrew, would walk them through the program step by step.

Now, Andrew and I are always happy to help anyone deserving. But our time is very valuable, so we had to ascertain if the three newbies had done their basic homework. We asked them if they had gone through the video tutorials supplied. Had they also read the materials? Had they tried calling the chatline for help? There was also a forum for online merchants such as themselves; had they ever checked that out?

The response from the internet marketing newbies? Stony silence. They refused to answer our queries. We haven't heard from them since.

Internet marketing is like any business. If you're going to succeed in it, you can't be lazy. You've got to do your groundwork and be prepared to constantly learn., and you need to apply what you've learned. Copious note-taking and head knowledge alone is useless.

Nobody owes you a living. If you're going to realize that dream of financial independence and personal freedom, you've got to roll up your sleeves and get to work! It doesn't matter if your first website looks dumb. What's important is that you get going and keep improving. Success in internet marketing is certainly achievable, but not for those who don't get off their butts.

ADSENSE SITES

Website promotion is no walk in the park. It takes discipline and diligence to have an edge in the game. Everybody's looking for a fast-track strategy, with minimal effort, to bring in the web traffic and the big bucks. I don't know how much money I've personally spent on 'guaranteed' quick fixes, in my endeavors to make money online.

But I've never regretted spending money on worthwhile information and tools. I learned something every time. All the resources I have invested in to equip me to be more effective at website promotion are paying off. I'm in a much stronger position than I was when I was employed in one of the largest multinational corporations in the world. Now I know how to make my own income, even without a job. My loved ones will never starve or suffer lack in their lives. Jesus has blessed me so that I can be a blessing to others.

Whenever I find something which works, I like to share it with those who need to be blessed with that information. Unfortunately, people tend to be suspicious by nature, and my motives are often questioned. That saddens me, especially when I see some people continuing down the path of hopelessness. Maybe it's fear that's holding them back from trying something new.

The internet is still a new frontier for many. Sceptics find it hard to believe that you can actually make a decent income from internet marketing. One thing's for sure, those who DON'T do anything will never know what they could have achieved.

I discovered something recently which I just had to share here in Website Promotion 101. It's a programme to achieve a conservative $175,000 in income within a year through building up 'Adsense' websites. I know that many claims have been made about making an obscene amount of money from Adsense sites, but this programme is really sound and down-to-earth. All it targets is a modest $10-$30 daily from Adsense per website, figures which are very realistic and which will continue to grow with - you guessed it - discipline and diligence.

'The Plan' is simple and logical. Believe it or not, it's absolutely FREE. There's no software or e-book to buy. Get your own copy here.Do let me know what you think about it. I think it's going to help a lot of people out of the hole they've fallen into. If you've been looking for a website promotion idea which works, but you're tight on budget, this could be the answer to your prayer.
