The 13 Hidden Treasures of Internet Marketing
Most people get into internet marketing because it looks like a
good way to make money from home. These people usually don't
realize that initial sales are only a small piece of the pie.
Don't be like them and miss out on all the hidden treasures!
As you read this article I want you to read about these hidden
treasures and look at your job or most traditional businesses.
If you compare what you know to what I'm going to share with you
it will be obvious to you that your job or traditional business
can't offer you the steal of a deal you can get with being an
internet marketer.
So here we go. The 13 Hidden Benefits of Internet Marketing:
1. TAX BREAKS. Yes, terrific tax breaks. When you operate a home
based business you can write off the costs for: * The area in
your home you use for the business * Office supplies (including
your computer) * Related tools (hosting fees, journals,
magazines, cable TV), * Job expenses * Travel expenses * Meals
and entertainment * Advertising * Your phone * Legal and
professional services * Training * And much, much more.
Talk to an accountant to get a complete list of all the tax
breaks you may qualify for.
2. LOW STARTUP COSTS. Most businesses cost AT LEAST $5,000 to
get started. That's the VERY low end. You can actually start
making money on the internet by joining an affiliate program for
free and marketing with free ads. Even if you're getting your
own site up it can be done for only a few hundred dollars.
3. LOW OPERATING COSTS. Once you're up and running you can build
your business on a budget of a hundred dollars a month or less.
I'm including operating expenses like hosting fees, merchant
accounts, etc. The less money you spend, the more time it will
take, but you don't have that choice in most businesses. You
usually have to have a lot of cash or you can't get started.
4. HIGH PROFIT MARGIN. Since your costs are low you keep more of
the money you make from sales. If you sell a product delivered
online (like e-books) you don't have to pay for shipping either.
5. MARKET FOR LITTLE OR NO MONEY. You probably already know
this, but don't take it for granted. Online you can submit free
ads, do ad swaps with your ezine, use pay per click search
engines, etc. Check out how much advertising costs offline. Just
to mail 1,000 letters costs $340.00! Instead you can e-mail your
offer to 100,000 people for free.
6. YOU DON'T NEED YOUR OWN PRODUCT. There are a ton of folks
with great products you can sell through affiliate programs. Go

You can make a great living just from marketing for other people
in your spare time.
7. TIME FREEDOM. You build your business as fast or slow as you
like. You can work all day or 2 hours at night after you put
your kids to sleep. Work one day a week or seven. It's ALL up to
you.
8. JOB SECURITY ON AUTOPILOT. Remember job security? It doesn't
exist in the world of being an employee. If it takes you 3 or
even 5 years to build your business from part time to full time
at home, you're still ahead of millions of people depending on a
paycheck for all 40 to 60 years they have to be an employee.
9. OPEN 24 HOURS IN EVERY COUNTRY. ...Oh yeah, that. Your site
works for you while you sleep. So does your advertising, the
articles you write, and your ezine. Consider every little thing
you do to market to be a new round the clock employee you just
hired for free. These employees will stay out on the web working
for you forever. The BIG SECRET is that the older your online
business gets, the less work it takes to make more money.
10. YOU KEEP THE CASH. If you're an employee you are a cog in
the company machine. The company keeps most of the money your
labor produces. As you build your company online you keep ALL
the money your labor produces. Since you're the owner instead of
the employee, the bigger your business grows the fatter YOUR
wallet gets!
11. YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT. Plenty of other folks have
been in this game for awhile. They created the blueprints so you
don't have to. If you learn how to do it from people who are
already making a killing it's simple. You do what they've done
and you will get the same results.
12. CHEAP AND FREE RESOURCES. You can subscribe to ezines full
of free tips. You can buy information on how to build your
business for as little as $14.97. Obviously, the more expensive
the information is the more valuable it is and it will help you
to build faster, but you can find plenty of great support that's
cheap too.
13. YOU ARE A PART OF A COMMUNITY. Online marketers are usually
nice people who like to help each other. It's a great bunch of
people to be dealing with. If you want support along your
journey it's only an e-mail away.
Do you know of any other business with all of these benefits?
Network marketing is the closest and it still isn't even close
to being this beneficial...unless you use internet marketing to
build it.
