Focusing On Your Internet Business…
June 18th, 2008What is the business model that you want to do that's going to earn you $3000 – $100,000?
Have you been looking at:
- CPA (I want people to fill out my forms!)
- Adsense (Google, I won't click on my own ads..I swear!)
- Run a forum with openX advertising (Ogilvy..step aside)
- Participate in over 20 affiliate programs (I'm an affiliate junkie!)
- Sell wholesale products over ebay (I want to retail stuff bought from someone else!)
- Market your own ecommerce products
- Consulting…(Bain & Mckinsey love me!)
- PPC Affiliate marketing
- Data Entry from home (I type stuff!)
- I blog for a living…
- Filling out surveys for cash (I'm a multiple opinionated person…!)
Succeeding online requires FOCUS on 1 business model. If we try to do too many things, its easy to get burnt out, be a jack of all trades and master of none. The only time we can try a few things is when we're starting out, testing to see what we like to do. Afterwards, we aim to focus in 1 direction until we hit our income goals.
1. Example, say you want to do Adsense:
The best way to succeed with Adsense is to run a community forum. Golf site, Cosmetic site, IT site, any kind of kind discussion niche that captures interest. That way, you can leverage on content added by other people. Alot of people are interested to share ideas just out of passion for a topic, and that will help the site can ranked high in the SERPs, generate tons of free traffic for you.
2. Or, say you want to have your own info product:
Never write about what you like, find out what people want, and provide a solution to their problems. Have your work published by authority sites as well good article directories. Build up your subscriber list and ask them what they want to know. Produce your own work afterward, submit it to a network affiliate site.
3. Or, become a PPC Recurring Affiliate master:
Send PPC traffic to a landing page and offer a free download or ecourse. Share good information for 7 days then recommend a product that has worked for you. I've made tons of money this way, and its almost a brainless way to pluck cash out of thin air.
then…
Having said that, many people desire to earn a huge recurring income online. Here's the thing, intentions and feelings don't make one rich. Its similar to men wanting 6 pack abs and ladies, a figure like Keira Knightley, but when it comes to the crunch, few people will step up to the plate.
That's why there're folks who drive BMWs, and others that .. don't drive BMWs. Intentions, feelings, desires, wishing, talking, can't make anyone rich, as the Kungfu Panda said,"Enough talk, lets fight…"
Are you ready to grab the bulls by the horns and turn your internet business into a success? Before we answer a resounding "Yes!", we should know that its difficult to run an internet business whilst having an employee mindset. As an employee, we can "look" like we're working and still draw a salary. Entreprenuers, Internet business owners are "can do" people, problem solvers…result & bottom line driven.
Stay focused & all the best to your internet business!
