Building Internet Traffic & SEO Tips

I was driving down one of the main streets in Redding yesterday and as I pulled to a stop I noticed a lot of little mom and pop style businesses. I thought, “Hm… I wonder if these people have a website and if so, are they listed in the search engines. And can people actually find them?”

Recently I asked my chiropractor if he himself had a website. He said, “Yep, I’m online.” He was happy about the fact that he had a website.

However, he had no idea that his website was not driving any traffic from the search engines. The benefit of his website was very minimal. The only traffic he was getting was coming from people who already knew about his business or they knew about him personally.

I’m sure you would agree that if your business is to grow and gain any type of momentum, you will need to have new clients. People who don’t know anything about you, but are looking for whatever it is your offer. Whether that be a service or a product.

The Internet is growing at an extreme pace. I was introduced to a video that I thought hits this point on the head. It is well worth watching.

Today, the Yellow pages or any other offline book that contains your business name, address, phone number and so forth is becoming obsolete. Now is the time to make sure you not only online but you are visible.

Today more than ever before people are looking to the Internet to help them earn money. Most people fail.

Not only do they fail, but they spend a lot of their hard earned money on trying to make money online. In addition they lose hours and hours of their life looking at their computer screen hoping to find the answers to getting out of debt – fast. When the reality is they are about to get deeper into it.

I know because for many years I have been there and done that. So, if you are among these people, this post is for you.

Why Do People Fail to Make Money Online?

Because they are stepping into deep water that is infested with some pretty serious sharks. Without the proper equipment and preparations they make rather tasty snacks for these sharks.

How Can You Make Money Online?

You can earn money by selling someone elses product.  This is called affiliate marketing.

You can make and sell your own product. This requires a great deal of experience or you already own a store etc…

You can create a website or blog and sell advertising space. This takes a lot of time and experience as well.

There are more things you can do to make money online but those are the top ways to do it.

The easiest way is to sell someone elses product. There are a great many ways to do this. There are many different opinions on how to approach  affiliate marketing which is where the problem begins. They are far too many ways and far too many programs.

Those are actually not the greatest issues of why people fail. The main reason is because people fall into a sort of “failure to focus” zone. This is the zone where the savvy experienced and financially successful marketers are directing the noobies or rookies. Once they have you in “their” zone, they know you have now become their own personal ATM machine.

They can make cash withdraws from your wallents any time they like.

So, how do you avoid this AMT failure to succeed zone?

You select a program that you feel confident about. You try it. You follow through and you keep track of your progress.

Many of these programs come with a guarantee. If you do your best to follow their plan and you fail, you can request a refund.

So, PLAN to work hard and follow the plan. Do NOT subscribe to a lot of newsletters on how to make money. This will only confuse you.

Do NOT buy any new program or try any new system even if it is suggested even if that is a recommended product from the person you just purchased your new info. product from.

Follow through on the plan or system you just purchased, stick to the plan, and you will either have great success or you will be getting a refund.

And just to clarify. There are a lot of really good programs and the people who sell you those programs usually try and sell you something else. It doesn’t mean they are evil for telling you about a new program. Some of them are in my opinion evil because it is all they do.

What you need to remember is that you are not ready to consider any “other” program until you have fully tried the one you have committed yourself to. And you committed yourself to that product when you purchased it.

FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS – This is the Key to Success!

Super Savvy Internet Marketing Tip right here, right now…

I just finished watching a “free” video on CPA marketing. I actually didn’t watch the video to learn about CPA marketing, I watched it to learn more about what savvy internet marketers are doing. Videos are the way of the savvy marketer and if you are someone looking to make money online, I’m thinking you’ve really stumbled upon some information that is going to save you thousands of dollars.

Why?

Well, let me just share with you the facts discussed during the video.

1. Over 20 thousand dollars earned in 27 days. Wait – Did they say earned?

During the video they actually talk about their REVENEU. Here’s a quote directly from their sales page…

“We’d Made $20,416.00 In Revenue”

You see, they are not claiming to have EARNED that much money, only to have brought in that much money. This is VERY important. During the video they actually tell you their profit was about $6,000. But, most people will be in such a dreamy state of mind by the time the hear this, they will instantly forget that is the POINT that they should be listening to the most.

Why?

Because they spent over 14,000 to generate $6,000.

How come?

Because in order to figure out which keywords they were paying for that were driving profitable traffic to their offer, they had to monitor and test their campaign. This requires some CPA savvy as well as general internet marketing savvy.

Now let’s take a deeper look at the results.

It cost them 14k to earn 6k. Are these people Newbs? Are they broke? Are they desparate to make money fast?

No, no and nope.

These guys have a huge BUDGET to spend on advertising. How much did it cost them to actually earn $6,000?

Think about it now… think, think, think… Do you think this was the ONLY campaign they ran? Probably not. Is it possible that they ran many different campaigns that broke even or even lost money?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

I’m SICK of people falling for the fast buck. I’m not saying these guys are scam artists, but I am saying they ARE deffinately far more internet marketing savvy then they are telling you.

Making money online is VERY hard work. The best way to do it involves monthly service fees to pay for programs and tools that help you get your work done faster. Sort of like the difference between picking tomatoes by hand and having a machine to harvest them for you. Which person will earn money faster? The one picking by hand or the one with the machine to do it for them?

Another fee you should be aware of is the fee to outsource your chores – which ANY successful business is going to be doing. You don’t see the billionairs who own Walmart working at the checkout stand do you?

No, of course not.

So, what have we learned? Well, you learned that VIDEO MARKETING is an awesome way to get people’s attention if you have the right bait. You HAVE NOT learned how to make money fast or easy with CPA marketing. At least I hope after reading this post you’ve figured that out.

Do you need to make money online? I can help. I offer a variety of services. Outsourcing and one on one training are just a few.

Be careful, there are a lot of very savvy marketers who know how to get you worked into a frenzy to buy their products. I’ll be posting a list of some really great tools and programs you can learn more about soon. But right now I must go on my daily walk… then I’m going to go see Avatar again with my hubby.
