Setting Up Your Internet Marketing Empire
Start a blog, don’t worry how it looks just start one and start writing in it. Just remember in internet marketing keywords are very important. Pick just one topic you want to talk about and only talk about that topic. Visit other blogs in the same niche and leave good comments, use gravatar. That will start helping you get back links and traffic.
Most people who want to get involved with internet marketing usually enter the scene as an affiliate marketer. The only time this isn’t the case is when a person is trying to take their offline business and bring online. Most people who want to work from home on their computer are usually affiliates.
There are thousands of different affiliate products that are on the internet. The reason why I love Internet Network Marketing is because network marketing has the ability to create residual income. The difference is instead of getting paid 1 time for your efforts you can get paid over and over. If you ask me that is a much better return on your time and money.
Beware Of Internet Marketing Guru’s
In my marketing journey I keep coming across people who’s only reason for being in a program is because the compensation plan is great. That is all well and good, but you are basically suckering people to get involved with something simply because the income you can earn from it is good. Even though the product itself has no real value.
Stop buying all those new internet marketing money systems. It will only make you more confused. Have purpose other than making money. The easiest way to start making money online is to really be an authority in your niche. You probably already are an authority in something you just haven’t realized how to use it to your advantage online yet.
Internet Marketing Road Map
Do you have one? If not you simply have to type in “make money online” and you will find thousands of them, sadly though even with all these so called road maps, 90% of the people are failing. Is it because they are stupid? Not at all, it’s because the guru’s don’t care if you make a penny. They just know how to trigger your emotions and like a used car salesman they know how to make you feel all warm and fuzzy to get you into a buying decision.
My advice is very simple….
Believe in yourself and dream of better things for you and your family. Start your entire internet marketing journey doing something you have a real passion for. I tell people a good way to blog is to talk about the success you having with your product. Talk about the positive effects it has on your life.

get excited about! I know it sounds to good to be true, but it’s not. Learn More Here
In my experience you do want to pick one topic and stick with it. Its tough when you are starting out in the beginning because there are so many gurus like you mentioned that will take advantage of your emotions and use it to their advantage. You definitely do want to start out with a topic that you are passionate about because in the long run that will motivate you to continue with it. Its hard to stay motivated about something you are not fond of.
I think for the most part we have all purchased something from these Gurus, I know I have but now I am more aware about it and see the same trends between every sales page that I see.

I am sure those of us that have been online for any length of time have all been bitten 🙂
Thanks for commenting!
I think Jean makes an awesome point. When you start out its really hard to make it. It requires tons of effort. If your doing a website that your not passionate about then it just makes it harder to put in all the effort needed to make it a success.
Sure some markets are more competitive that others. But if you dont enjoy the topic, whats the point in doing it at all.
Agreed 100% as I personally believe in this that work hard for those products in which you are master and have complete knowledge then only you will able to go up as many are fails is the only reason is -Lack of knowledge OR Incomplete knowledge.
As walking wiht incomplete knowledge proves very dangerous in longterm which directly leads to DEAD END. Am I right?
One more thing just coz you have pointed out so.. My Name is Megan Brown. Hope you like it.
Thanks a lot for this useful sharing.
Hi Megan! 🙂
You are absolutely right, not having the important information you need could prove very dangerous indeed.
Starting a blog sounds so easy and to be honest I didn’t know its that easy but I think the time we dedicate after setting up the blog is where the real work begins. And yes, you’re right we should be very careful about Internet Marketing Guru’s and be be smart enough to know the fake ones.
Hi George, thanks for commenting.
Believing in yourself is definitely part of the equation because the IM learning curve is pretty steep and potentially very discouraging.
I haven’t spent any money on “systems” and I am glad for that fact.
Everything is online for free anyway.

Hi Mark, i think ultimately we need to create our own “systems” of marketing. It can be helpful though to have a roadmap.
It’s true there is a heap of info online. Good And Bad!
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve found the problem with picking one topic/niche is that it won’t be too long before you start running out of things to say. I’ve seen that happen on blogs and then they either start regurgitating the same thing or they are forced to bring other topics into the mix.
This is why until recently I’ve only ever run general blogs. 😉
Hi Sire, your right about that. I think some good strategies is to bring in a few other writers, accept guest post submissions, pay someone to write articles for you. Change your format around, from blogging to vlogging.
Also I think a lot of comes down to the type of person you are. I kinda look at blogging as not only a way to get traffic for my business but also a way of expressing myself. You seem like the type that also likes to express themselves. I am guessing people like us have great focus but get bored easily 🙂
I think to begin with go for quantity over quality and then start to see which idea work for you then focus on them.
Other wise you might put loads of effort into one particular avenue and then find it doesn’t work or doesn’t pay as well as you had hoped.
i don’t know about that especially with blogging. It can take a lot of work to get your groove going
for me this is the good strategy that you share to us and i am really glad that as a newbie blogger i learn very much from here.as i reading to you post it made me smile because in this way i can express my thoughts in life.
Hi Xirelle, I am glad you found it helpful
I chose affiliate marketing as my topic when I first started because you are right Larry, it’s where most people begin. It’s where most people should begin because if you can learn to promote other people’s products and have success, you can take that to the next level and learn how to do anything.
I veered away from blogging just about affiliate marketing though because we all know that you need to learn internet marketing in order to have success in affiliate marketing. So my blog has been kind of all over the place but thank goodness for me, I already have a good following so they are pleased and are not hauling it out of there.
It becomes easier to know which way to take your blogging by the responses you get in your comment section.
That’s why its important to visit lots of blogs and encourage other bloggers to visit you by commenting. I think people are becoming more aware of good blogging manners.
Belief in yourself will help to achieve your goals. But for newbies in blogging it is quite a problem to figure out what they should start with. And in this case some guru’s advice can be very helpful. They can show the direction to move in.
Hi John, thanks for commenting
Great advice. In order to succeed, keep it simple, stay focused, provide valuable content and take consistent positive action. Stay away from the distractions of the “New and Improved Bright Shiny Objects” the “Gurus” try to sell you. When I first started I spent way too much time and money chasing the Bright Shiny Objects.
A positive mental attitude, focus, setting goals and working hard to achieve them will definitely get you better results than trying the latest Guru’s Easy Button Product.
I agree sometimes shiny objects are bad 🙂

There are a lot of marketing mistakes out there still done by a lot of marketers. Some people just don’t know how to do their job properly. In my opinion, when you start a new website you must know a lot about the website’s subject and niche. You must know what you’re talking about when you’re talking.
Hi Martin, that is one of the problems I see with people that start blogging. They know they should be blogging but unfortunately they don’t know what write about.
That only happens because they aren’t a product of the product and don’t have passion for the subject matter they are writing about.
Thanks for sharing!
Sir! Two thumbs up to you. After following all those internet marketing gurus, It all confuse me what is what ,what to do and how to do it. My blog site is on hold because I don’t know which road to go. thanks to you.
“Believe in yourself and dream of better things for you and your family”
Well said.
I think this is what everybody has to know, because it is the most important part if you want to do sg.
a strong determination as well as some intelligent is a great things to reach success. some newbies don,t know what to do when they starts walking towards their success. a strong belief is another is another thing to get success,
To belive in your self, is the number 1 thing to achive your dreams and goals. But there is not also just beliving. Its also acting. For newbies and rookies, they cant get 10 000$ income over 1 month of blogging. They need much more then that, when they start.
But the tip you share on this blog, is helpful and is also great for evry newbie and pros, to take advantage of. Even though, you are good man! 🙂
There’s a lot to learn about affiliate marketing and internet marketing in general before you can make decent money, but I think the best advice is to…
“just start one and start writing in it”
There was a ton I didn’t know when I got started and there’s still a lot more I need to learn, but I’m glad I just got started and have an established site to improve upon now.
One really good think you take up in this article that I haven’t thought of is “own your niche”. Once I read that I understand Im aiming a little bit to wide. Jumping on niches I think is fun instead of focusing on one.
Failures make us strong.. Just let it be!
This is a nice guide to people who wish to get into blogging and marketing. I do learn from my mistakes and try not to make the same in the future.
That seems nice blog really nice I think people are becoming more aware of good blogging manners.
That is true. A lot of people goes in to the internet marketing business just to be able to make money while living on a island.. Well.. Like you say you really need to have a burning passion for it. Or it won’t last.
Nowadays Internet marketing is essential part of every industry to make presence globally and you explained very well it
