Every now and then a decent domain name like GetOnlineMoney.com will become available for registration, and what this usually means is that some aspiring internet entrepreneur has become disillusioned and lost the motivation to continue and has decided to settle for a more conservative means of making a living like getting a day job.
How many great songwriters and bands gave up just one step away from stardom?
The secret to success at any enterprise is three fold
- Start.
- Continue.
- End.
It is like a sandwich start and finish are two slices of bread continue is the filling in the middle.
Success no matter what the field is the fulfillment of a goal, which is why the proclamation of success requires an ending. If a baseball team is winning by nine runs in the top of the ninth but allows ten runs in the bottom of the ninth then what appeared to be success was actually failure in the end.
Enough of the philosophy for now!
Do you know how hard it is to make just one dollar a day consistently on Google Adsense. Most new comers to internet marketing are put off by the fact that no matter how good they think their site is they never get their ads clicked and never make any Google dollars.
It took me over a year to get my first Google check.
The reality of the internet is that a really great site with no traffic is like an oasis on the moon. It looks good and sounds good but do you really expect anyone to visit.
On the other hand a bad site that gets traffic will never get return traffic, it will just fade away.
Most people who come to the internet dreaming of making millions suffer dismal failure because their thinking is flawed. They are looking only to take.
If you look at the really successful internet entrepreneurs they all have one thing in common. Their MO (modus operandi) is to give.
The average human is looking for something preferably for nothing. So when they come across another person with the same motives they are repelled because there is nothing in it for them.
However when someone who is looking for something for nothing comes across someone who appears to be giving away something for nothing they tend to stick to them like glue.
No in truth no one is actually giving away anything for nothing because we all have wants and needs, but by offering first you get to take huge quantities when your turn to take comes around. It’s like a karma thing.
Suppose you spend all your online efforts, hour after hour in driving traffic to a sales page, even if you get a sale from one in twenty the reality is that none of the twenty is ever coming back.
Imagine spending so much time and effort for a twenty dollar commission. Imagine losing huge quantities of the most valuable internet currency “Traffic” forever for a mere twenty dollar bill. Don’t you think that you could do better flipping burgers. And this is precisely why most aspiring internet entrepreneurs eventually end up flipping burgers. They didn’t value their traffic enough to keep it coming back.
Now if you could attract the same amount of traffic to your site and keep them coming back by offering them what they want for free you would have a very valuable resource indeed.
The secret to success in any field including online money making is to offer people what they want, notice I didn’t say need. Offer them what they want and continue to update and freshen up and you will thrive.
So here is the simple formula to internet riches.
- Identify what you have to offer.
- Offer it.
- Wait.
- Rinse and repeat.
The person who puts together a product for Click Bank has something to offer. The affiliate driving traffic to this offer is only looking to take.
Now I am not saying that you cannot make decent money in affiliate marketing. I am however guaranteeing that you will never get be an internet millionaire by this method.
Success, real success always comes from giving first. There is never an exception to this.
Always ask what can I give, what do I have to offer.
Never, never, never ask, what’s in this for me, what can I make.
