I started this journey of internet marketing in October 2007.  I was, at first, an abysmal failure.  Through sheer stubborness, I made it to the other side.  I’m a successful full time internet marketer now, thanks to Kyle and Carson who put up with me over at Wealthy Affiliate University while I went through my learning curve.

Now I love making my living online.  Here are what I think the seven biggest advantages of internet marketing are.

#1Anyone can succeed

It doesn’t take any special skills besides the desire to learn, and the willingness to work.

#2. It’s a real way to make money

Marketing is as old as the hills, and while there are a lot of scammy things online, if you learn how to effectively market, you can make really good money online.

#3. It doesn’t cost a lot to get started

Traditional businesses require a ton of start up capital.  MLM companies require pitching your friends and family (YUCK!).  Starting a business online costs only a few hundred dollars (at most) and your time.  You can actually get started for free, but it is better to have a little seed money.

#4. When you get good, you can kiss your boss goodbye.

I did this in June 2008.  I left my day job as a manager, and now only work out of the house about 3 to 6  hours a week (I need the people contact).   My online living is my income, and I wouldn’t trade this life for my old one, ever.

#5. You can work in your pajamas.

If you don’t know anyone who does this, now you do.  I work in my pajamas at least 2 or 3 days a week.  It’s fun, and I can, so why not?

#6. You have control of your life.

This is a big one for me.  I am kind of a control freak, and I HATE having a boss.  So working for myself is a big deal.

#7.  You decide how much money you’ll make.

If you become a really good internet marketer, there is really very little stopping you from making as much money as you want.  

Those are the things that I believe are the main advantages of internet marketing.  If you’d like to learn how to do internet marketing from the ground up come join me at Wealthy Affiliate University.  It’s a great place to learn.

Wishing you Success!

P.S. 

reports like this one right?  If you are new to the business, don’t worry, you’ll see these screen shots soon enough.  And these graphs are all well and good, but I find that what most people want to know is how to make their accounts have this much and more money in them.

Getting Your Head Together – The Big Secret To Making Affiliate Marketing Commission

I’ve been doing internet affiliate marketing for over a year now, and I’m involved in a lot of forums and have significant success myself.  I’ve watched a lot of people succeed and a lot of people fail, and without a doubt the one thing that sets people apart  is their level of commitment to success.

It is very easy to buy internet marketing products (I’ve bought my fair share, and most have been very good). It is another thing altogether to make a plan of action and work that plan like your life depends on it.

Success comes to those who are willing to get over the learning curve.

Making money online requires a whole new set of skills for most people.  If you are familiar with building websites or marketing concepts this will definately give you and edge, but for most of us starting out the learning curve is significant.

It took me three weeks to figure out how to build my first web page.  I sure felt like this illistration then.

But I really believe that if you learn every day and take action every day with a serious commitment to a successful affiliate marketing carreer that you will start earning serious affiliate marketing commission sooner or later.

Coming In For Landing… Page That Is.

 So what is a landing page exactly?

A landing page is simply the first page that a person visits when they come to your site from a marketing campaign such as a bum marketing method campaign or a ppc campaign.  It is generally the page that you want them to take action on.  The action may be making a purchase or signing up for your email list.

The Secret To A Successful Landing Page – Relevance

If you read any of my posts, you know that I harp on this big time.  Relevance is THE key to successful landing pages.  

Your landing page MUST be directly related to your ad or article call to action in order to make sales. Google rewards relevance and customers love it.   Basically, it works like this.  If you are looking for information on the movie The Godfather, and I write and ad, and then take you to a site that sells the Godfather movies and Godfather memorbilia, that is relevant.  However, if instead I take you to a site that is the home page of a site that has tons of movies, that is not relevant.  This may be the same site, but your customers will like you more and buy more if you are relevant.

I hope this helps you understand landing pages.

I wish you success,

Heather
