Internet Marketing: Making A Living Online

A few months ago I made the decision to work strictly from home so that I
could spend more time with my child (who is almost 4 years old now). Since
that time, I've been studying up on internet marketing and the various ways
that one could make a living online.

Here's the main thing that I discovered: The main trap of working online is
not the "scams" (I'm sure that they do exist and have come across a few
myself), but rather is the number of actual opportunities that present
themselves. A person can spread themselves so thin by investing time and
money into too many areas, which takes away the ability to be able to
promote their programs/products effectively.

Although I am relatively new to the internet marketing industry, I have
successfully worked in offline marketing for years, and have learned a few
things that apply to any kind of marketing, across the boards. I also have
learned some things about internet marketing in the few months that I've
been involved.

Here's are a few "from the heart" tips, that always apply:

Persistence - This may be the most valuable concept in the marketing
industry. I believe that no matter what someone is marketing, and how they
are marketing it, if one continues the same strategy for a long enough
period of time (working on it regularly) more often than not it will pay
off. This is what I call the "Golden Rule" of marketing.

Patience - This closely relates to the info above. I think that this is best
illustrated with an example: Sally Marketer begins an internet marketing
venture, let's say with pay-per-click ads from her own website. She finds a
few places to market her site and puts some ads up. Within a week she only
has one response from all of the ads combined. She gives up and changes her
strategy, removing her ads from the various places, or changing them to
something else. This is lost time and lost revenue. Give the advertisements
about 6 weeks to be out there, as they are before changing them. If after 6
weeks there is little to no response - then is the time to make some
changes. (My experience has been that in about 4-6 weeks the inquiries and
sales really start to pick up.)

Quantity/volume - The amount of income is directly proportional to the
number of people who view your site/ads. Seriously. Although the quality of
the website is important, it takes a back seat to the amount of
communications to your audience. Combined - you have a goldmine! Here's an
illustration: If you're interested in getting ads onto classified ad sites
for example, don't get onto 1, 2 or even 5 - get onto 30! Instead of signing
up for 1 traffic exchange site, sign up with 20 and work them daily! 10,000
emails to opt-ins are much better than 50. There are services available out
there that can post your ads, sites or send email to many different
places/people at once - this type of marketing really works. Think BIG on
this! Sometimes it takes 50 people seeing your site to even generate 1
click. This may sound a bit grim, but if you know this information you'll
have better control over your income and a much better chance at success!
