Introduction to Internet Marketing

When I first started working on the web, I never dreamed I could make the kind of money I’m making today. To be honest, I didn’t even intend to. At first, I just wanted a bit of extra cash to supplement my real job and maybe put a little money aside for the future. But what I discovered amazed me! Within just a few short months, my little online business was raking in thousands of dollars every day! I was making more every two months with my Internet marketing programs than I was earning each year sitting in my office making profits for my boss.

As you can imagine, it wasn’t long before I decided to ditch the suit and start working for myself full-time. Now, I have a completely automated marketing system set up on the web. Each week, I spend just a few hours checking that the system is working properly, and the rest of the time I’m cashing the checks and spending the money.

It really is that easy!

But while the money is great, the best thing about working on the web is the freedom. I’m not just making more money than I ever thought I would earn-unlike my other high-income friends I’ve actually got the time to enjoy it.

That’s a feeling money just can’t buy!

Now, I didn’t achieve any of this by doing a Ph.D. in programming or by following Bill Gates around for twenty years. When I built my first website all I knew about my computer was how turn it on. Today, I know how to turn it off, too. I still know nothing about programming and even less about technology. I’ve got no idea what speed my computer runs at, and I wouldn’t even know how to check it.

The fact is, to make money on the web all you need is a few simple tools and the will to get up and do it.

It’s not about intelligence or education or who you know. It’s purely about how much you’re prepared to put in the time at the beginning to build the system and keep it running.

With this book and your determination, you have everything you need to kick your day job and earn a real income by yourself, at home, on the web.

Forget everything you’ve heard before!

In this book, I’m not going to give you some airy-fairy theory about what should work if everything clicks the way I think it should. That’s the kind of rubbish you can read in any one of a thousand marketing books sitting on the shelves of Barnes and Noble. The fact is, I doubt if a single one of those authors has sold anything online except copies of their book on Amazon.

Here’s my first piece of advice: don’t listen to advice from someone who hasn’t been there and done it themselves!

This is absolutely crucial. If you look around the web or in your local bookstore you’re going to find a ton of hype about how you can become a millionaire with nothing more than a keyboard and a mouse. There are people out there who will tell you can get rich with no effort, no work and no investment. There are even some who will try to sell you pyramid schemes, get-rich-quick plans and every other kind of scam you can imagine. And people actually buy them. At the first sign of a chance to pick up instant cash, people whip out their wallets and give away their life savings. I’m sure you’re smarter than that.

But it’s not just the straightforward frauds you have to watch out for. The Internet changes almost every day. Unless someone is actually earning their living on the web day in, day out, by the time they’ve finished explaining how to make money on the Internet, chances are, their advice is out of date.

Like I said, I didn’t set out to make a fortune on the web. I just figured it might give me an extra hundred bucks or so a week to make my life a little better. But like any successful businessman, I ditched what didn’t work and did more of what did. If I saw something that I thought would bring in extra cash, I put up a website and gave it a try.
