How To Give Yourself An Instant Pay Raise With Internet Marketing
I received a rather interesting email the other day
from a subscriber.
His dilemma?
Well, he has tried ‘everything’ out there, but has yet
to make a dime online.
Sounds familiar?
Well, because I’ve been there myself, I know exactly
what it takes to get out of this rut.

Get your head straight, and bear this mind.
The ‘grand-daddy’ of Internet Marketing is good old
direct marketing.
So you MUST have the best direct marketing education
as a foundation first.
Study the works of Gary Halbert, Dan Kennedy, John
Carlton, Jeff Paul, Joe Polish, Ted Nicholas, Paul
Hartunian etc.
This will help you get the ‘marketing’ part of
Internet marketing right and it’ll be as though you’ve
acquired the ‘Midas Touch’.
The problem with most budding online entrepreneurs is
that they get ’seduced’ and sidetracked with
technology and ignore time-tested and proven selling
principles.
The result?
Really fancy, professional websites with no visitors
and a bank account with no money.
Don’t fall into this trap.
You should know better.
And don’t EVER think of deviating from the following
proven process of direct response Internet Marketing.
The process is simple. You need to:
—
1. Get a product.
Obvious. You need something to sell.
The trick is to make sure it’s something YOU are
interested in, so that you’ll stick with it. And that
it’s something enough other people are willing to pay
enough money for to make sure you can make a good
profit from the time you spend creating and marketing
it.
2. Create a sales site.
You need a place for people to read about your
product, and decide if they want to spend the money on
it.
3. Accept payments.
Once they decide to buy, you need a way for them to
give you the money, and a way for you to deliver the
goods.
4. Get traffic and affiliates
Once you’re ready, you need to get people to read your
sales letter and order your product. This is where the
quick money is.
You also want to be set up so that some of them can
sign up as affiliates, which means they’ll be selling
your product on their sites for a commission. This is
where the automatic long-term money is.
So really, the only thing you have to handle on any
regular basis is cashing checks.

Something to remember, before you get started: Your
family and closest friends like you, but often they
don’t respect you business-wise as much as they should.
They’ve seen you fail or procrastinate, and generally
think they have a good grasp of what you can do. Or
maybe they’re afraid to see you fail, because they
don’t want to see you get hurt.
Maybe they have some misguided concept of successful
people as folks with perfect haircuts and perfectly
ordered lives, who never experience frustration or
setbacks. Or maybe they think success requires
something mystical that only a few “special” people
are born with.
Or maybe they’ve just seen you at the office party
with the lampshade on your head.
People you know are often not as supportive as they
should be for these reasons.
Don’t let them convince you it can’t be done.
It’s true. When you understand the solid
principles of direct response marketing, it’ll be akin
to acquiring the ‘midas touch’.
Keep your eyes peeled to this blog for a special time
sensitive message that I’ll be posting for you in a couple
of days that will put the midas touch right at your
fingertips. The subject line will read: “Secrets of
the midas touch…”
