Hitting The Brick Wall...Without A Dent!
"Hitting The Brick Wall...And Not A Dent"
by Dan Farrell
You have been slaving away at your computer designing a web
site, picking the right affiliate programs, network
marketing programs, submitting to the search engines,
directories, safe lists, FFA's or even buying some targeted
advertising with ezines or email lists.
Now your ready to quit! You have more traffic to your site
or your affiliate/mlm replicated sites but little or no
money coming in. However, lots of expenses.
And all the 'experts' said it could be done this way.
What's wrong?
What didn't you do that might put you over the top? At
least, make more income than expenses, and forgetting about
all your time.
This is what 1,000's of wanna-be net marketers are
feeling, frustration, anger and discouragement.
So what do you do?
My advice is to copy the 'experts' that are making a
substantial living online. What Ken Evoy, Terry Dean, Jimmy
D. Brown, Marlon Sandors, Declan Dunn, and many others do
to create wealth online. Read their stuff. Determine where
your focus should be. What market niche is in need of a
product/service. Develop that product/service yourself or
go in a joint venture with someone that already has
developed it. A great search tool to use is Copernic. You
can download a free copy at http//www.copernic.com It
searches all the search engines at once and gives you the
top results.
However, the most important advice is not mine, but Tom
Hopkins, a top sales trainer. He states, it isn't about
your sales ability, marketing skills or ad copywriting,
it's about lasting! Perseverance is the name of game in
Internet Marketing but if you are heading up the wrong road
or pursuing the same customer as 1,000's or 100,000's you
are going to go down in flames.
After re-thinking your market plan or focus, it's time to
find targeted prospects this niche market.
The first are the Search Engines. They are essentially
free, even though it costs more and more to get a listing.
(Yahoo! charges $199 just to get your site looked at). But
the major ones, Hotbot, Google, AltaVista, don't charge for
you to add your URL. But the only way you are going to get
any traffic from them is to be listed in the top 30 for any
keyword or keyword phrase. You are competing with
thousands, if not millions of competing web sites for that
keyword, so unless you plan to spend most of your time
searching for this elusive grail... find a niche keyword
or phrase that has little competition. I have seen my web
pages steadily climb in the Search Engines using Michael
Campbell's "Nothing But Net". He tells you how he made
$750,000 in the first year selling cell phone accessories,
and spent $0 on ads! http://nothing.alturl.com
Ezines. If you don't have one, start one. Do you enjoy a
hobby or pasttime that others would like to read about?
It's not that hard to create a newsletter even if you can't
write. There are tons of free articles and resources on the
net, just get started. Write me if you would like some help.
Pay Per Clicks. These are places you pay to have your ad
placed in a rank by how much money you bid for that keyword
or phrase. Overture.com is the biggest but they recently raised
their rates from a minimum bid of .01 to .10 putting many
(like me) out of the running for the more popular or
searched for keywords. The trick is think 'outside the box'
and come up with keywords that might be appropriate but
not terribly popular.
However, you can still place keyword ads starting at .01 at
many of the 160+ pay per click serarch engines. Which ones
are worth your time and money? I have a series of articles
on PPC's that you can get instantly and for free by sending
a blank email to ppcsecrets@makenetmoney.com
Viral marketing is a hot topic and worthy of discussion.
Basically, it is developing your own ebook, article or
report. If you aren't a great writer, use someone else's
with reprint rights or even better master rights. By
placing this ebook or report in many different hands you
are creating a viral network. If written well with quality
content, they will pass it on as a free bonus to buy a
product, or enticement to subscribe to their ezine or
affiliate program, creating a steady and increasing amount
of targeted traffic for the links you have in the
publication. This takes time, thought and effort but this
is what some of the top marketers do to get consistent
traffic and sales.
The other method the 'guru's use to generate a steady flow
of targeted traffic is affiliate programs. You can get
1,000's selling your products for little to no expense.
After all, you can only place so many ezine ads, classified
ads or keyword ads with the pay per click's. Once you have
your own product or buy the Master's rights to someone
else's, Clickbank has a no cost, easy to set up affiliate
program. For more info, visit here.

Jimmy D. Brown says, "I went from 50 hits per month to over
250,000 hits per month in only 4 months, from barely
covering the hosting fees of my website to a six-figure
income.
And, it is 100% because of the information that I am
revealing in the Free Advertising System.This course alone
is what brought me success online."
