Ignore And Forget The Hype - All You Need Is
Having been learning about making money online for the past 2.5 months and subscribing to more than 50 make money online blog RSS feeds and loads of newsletters, I have separated those that preach the actual reality of internet income and those that are all about hype.
Those that are about hype will sell to you a dream. It is usually about how you can make tons of money online without really putting in any effort - all you need to do is buy their ebook, software, video, seminar etc. Many new starters online fall for this hook, line and sinker because all of us are looking for an easy way out to make money online and we have been told that internet is the best platform for this. (Which is true because Internet is where you can start a business at a very low cost).
Unfortunately, this is the sales tactic that most well-known Internet Marketers are using these days (with the exception of a few) because success has gotten into their heads and they are using their name as a clout. These are the ones I stay away from.
Then there are those that are a little bit about hype especially on the sales page but in the midst of it, you can learn real life useful internet marketing strategies that will help you make money online, if you strip down the candy glaze and get to the actual message.
Finally, you will find those that HAVE made money online in the old-fashioned way, that is by putting in the effort to their online business daily and over time is able to fully sustain themselves just working on their online business on their on time. These are the people I am actually learning from and I have bought their products which are always priced reasonably. These people are those on my blogroll.
So, extract yourself from all the hype, give your credit card a break, and remember the only thing you need to do is: ACTION.
Define your online goal, select the type of business model that you want to use, learn and understand the ins and outs of your selected business model and ACTION.
After perusing different ways to make money online, I am most interested in niche marketing. In most of my earlier posts, I wrote about wanting to provide value when I make money online and I think niche marketing is a good way to do that because you are giving valuable information in your chosen niche either by directing them to the products that they need or providing them the product itself, such as an ebook.
To explain simply, with niche marketing, you can create a website on a niche subject, providing visitors with info and use google adsense to generate income. You can also subscribe to affilliate programs that are related to your niche and create links on your website. You can also sell an ebook/video or software to those niche. Here is a real life sample: How To Prevent Bedbugs.
Important: remember to research the keywords so that you know there is a demand for that niche
So far, I have selected 2 types of internet business models:
1. Niche websites
2. Dropshipping
I readily admit that I have been NATO (No Action, Talk Only) so far in my online venture so it’s time for me to take ACTION.
But bear in mind that if you are in my situation, which is working full time while looking to make money online, don’t neglect your full time work because this work is still paying for your house, car, food and other necessities. Work only your online venture diligently but remember who is feeding you at this point
