I wrote this just before leaving for the night. I hope none of you were working like me... I hope you were at home with your families and having a nice relaxing evening. As for me... I busted my butt as usual to wrap up a few loose ends before I took the Porsche to the track (I love racing!).
I'm really angry. As angry as I have ever been about anything. I get calls everyday from clients and subscribers who have been burned over and over again by fast buck artists selling a lot of hype and saying how easy it is to make big money in electronic marketing.
While it is true that millions of computer owners are now online, it simply isn't true they are just sitting there eagerly waiting to send you money the moment you contact them (in fact it is harder to get someone to buy on the Internet than in a normal business environment).
In fact, electronic marketing can be the fastest way to lose a lot of money quickly. I know dozens of business owners who have lost thousands of dollars using these supposed (no cost) forms of marketing. People put up a website and do some advertising... expecting the profits to roll in.
If advertising on the Internet is free, why is it that 94% of all online business are currently losing money? If you are one of the few actually making money on the Internet... congratulations. But let's turn the profits you're making into REALLY BIG PROFITS.
It's very easy to earn a substantial income ($100,000+) from your home or office computer with an online business (if you know exactly what to do).
Let me help. You will discover the most advanced ideas, "clever little" tricks, and key techniques for successful on-line marketing used today by the top people in the field. Find out how yours can be one of the very few successful companies that are on the Internet.
I have designed this site to help you get all the tricks of the trade and find out what works best for:
- web page promotion and design
- on-line services (Compuserve, AOL, Prodigy, Genie)
- online classified ads
- affiliate/reseller/associate programs
- newsgroup promotions
- promotions through discussion lists and newsletters
- opt-in email techniques
- autoresponders
- bulletin boards
- electronic malls
- ranking at the top of search engines
- sales strategies
- creating killer copy
- banner ads (tips and tricks)
- completely automating your business
We have tried them all; the conventional, the unconventional... the ethical, the risqué... the complicated, the simple... the common, and the crazy.
Of my 4 successful businesses, all 4 are 100% online. What I mean by "100% online" is that not one sale comes from conventional magazine, newspaper or direct mail advertising. I make more money in 1/2 a day than I used to in an entire week. The bottom line when it comes to online marketing is... I know my stuff!
As a successful online entrepreneur, I can guarantee you that all the promises these fast buck artists are making are completely worthless. What upsets me even more is how they say they "generate" $5000 a month (or whatever figure they claim). With tricky wording they sound like they are earning $5000 a month. In reality they are only saying that they "generate" or "make" $5000 in gross sales; of which only a small portion of that is "net profit" ... maybe $1000 - $1500 depending on the product/service they are selling. That is not very impressive when you break it down.
Now, don't get me wrong. There are ways to reach bona fide buyers and make some serious money with electronic marketing. But these "get-rich-quick" con-artists only have a theoretical approach and no clue what the "real-world" techniques are.
I know they don't. I have personally spoken with most of the biggest names in electronic marketing, and their personal track records are pathetic. Most of them sell little, if anything, online themselves. They make all their money by selling useless advice to unsuspecting people who want to take advantage of an exciting and confusing medium. Have you ever seen one of them show you what they are supposedly marketing online... and all these profits they are making? That's because the only thing they are marketing online is their "get-rich-quick" information. Nothing else!
