Making Some Money NOW!
I've been sitting back working on a new project here – I'll be sharing it with you shortly, but right now lets talk about making some money NOW!
If you are on my lists you know that I've been promoting several systems.
Have you had a chance to download your personal copy yet?
Have you read through the material and watched the videos yet?
Have you implemented your first affiliate presell site yet?
WHY NOT?
Below is a screen capture of the ClickBank account that I am using to capture my commissions as I start building this part of my business. Click on the graphic to open a popup with the full-sized image…
This account shows almost $600.00 paid out for just 2 affiliate promotions that I have setup as described in Google Sniper. I set these up a little over a month ago. Actually there is about $1,000 earned, however ClickBank holds the funds to make sure that there are no cancellations. Can you do this? I'll bet you can – if you JUST DO IT!
BTW - the new system by Michael Jones – The Affiliate Code – will also get you started. Actually, TAC has a bit more detail in the videos and system information that gives you more options. Options are good!
Important Note – I've got one site that I setup in the tattoo niche that seems to be overlooked by Google. Now this isn't unusual, and it is important that you realize that not everything that you put out there WILL be evaluated by the search engines. Actually, I can't get Google to crawl this site for the last 4 weeks! Oh well – I'll keep it going and eventually Google will crawl it – or index the current pages.
One more thing – Commission Junction surprise!
I also setup a simple CPA offer through my Commission Junction account. I logged in today to find that I had $80.00 deposited into my bank account from this offer – I do have a small site (page) tied to this, and it is starting to generate some $$. You can't expect everything to happen at once – but these small positive accomplishments will only lead to more and more of the same. Eventually this too will be generating a good six figures!
Now realize that I'm not here to teach you how all of this works! The sytems/programs that I'm promoting are excellent in the way that they explain what you need to know to get started. It might be too much to expect that they explain everything – really! There is no way that one Internet Marketing program can cover everything! I will continue to purchase these programs as each one gives me some good information – something that I maybe didn't have before.
Keep learning and seeking out information to add to your knowledge base.
To your continued success…

Driving Traffic To Your Web Site or Sales Page
You can't make a sale until you have someone who wants to buy what you are selling…
You can't sell to someone who wants to buy what you are selling until they know that you are selling it…
Someone won't know that you are selling it unless they can find you…
They can't find you if your site is the best kept secret…
How do you make sure that your web site isn't the best kept secret?
You will need to drive traffic to your web site… and not just any traffic – buying traffic!
You need to drive buyers to your web site!
How do you drive BUYERS to your web site?
There are a lot of ways to drive traffic to your web site – some very expensive, and some very FREE!
Ok now I'm going to switch gears here. Suppose that you figure out how to get buyers to 'A WEB SITE' – any web site! It doesn't matter if it costs you money to get buyers to that web site or if it's FREE – you know how to get 'those who want to buy what you are selling' to any web site – of course this would be the web site where you can sell this product or service and make some money. Sounds good – makes sense!
So now that you know how to get the buyers to where they can do exactly what it is that they want to do – BUY! then all you need to do is figure out what to sell them. What's hot – what's being bought up every day online by more people than you can imagine…
What are you going to sell them?
I'm not going to answer that here – actually everything that I suggest or promote to you will help you figure out exactly what YOU should be promoting. You see each of us think differently and have different ideas of where to look for a product or service to promote. I'm doing my thing… how about you?!
Ok – I want to point out that the products that I've promoted will really help you to think through this process and your financial situation where YOU want it. You need to decide what it is for yourself…
Driving traffic to your web site – any web site!
Pay Per Click (PPC)
Everyone knows about PPC generated traffic – that's the traffic you get from Googl, Yahoo, Bing, and many more – you are charged each time someone clicks on your AD from the respective network. Cost? $0.01 to $50.00 per click. Now mostly the cost per click (CPC) will be under $1.00 per click – but there are some keywords that will cost more – why? Because of the competition – the more advertisers, the higher the CPC.
There are some advertising networks that charge a flat daily, weekly, or monthly fee to have your ad viewed on certain sites. Usually this type of advertising requirs graphic banners for these ads – text advertising isn't normal here. This implies that you are going to me making money to offset the production and advertising expenses. Think about this for sometime in the future.
Organic Traffic From The Search Engine Networks
While PPC and other PAID advertising is the fastest and most reliable way to get traffic to your web site(s), it's not always possible to be able to afford this advertising when you are starting out.
There are ways to get the search engines to see your site and get it listed in the 'Organic' results part of the search pages. Take a look at Google and do a search for something – anything. Notice the 'ads' along the top and right side – they aren't always there, but you know what I'm talking about.
People are going to start clicking on whatever gets their attention – the title and description paragraph are so important to get someone enticed to click on your ad. If it's in the paid ad space (top and right side) then you are charged for their clicking on your ad. If they click on an ad in the 'Organic' area of the search results, then there is no cost or fee involved – this is what every advertiser works towards!
Conclusion
When we talk about FREE advertising or a way to get people to a web site for FREE… we are talking about using some sort of technique to get our web site info (ADS) into the area of the search results on search result pages where it doesn't cost when someone clicks to get to our site.
When someone is just starting out maybe they don't have an budget and have to resort to this kind of advertising exclusively. Most Internet Marketers use this FREE or Organic advertising along with their paid campaigns. Only makes sense that they would use both.
If you can afford some PPC or other paid advertising then use it! Paid advertising will bring in a lot more traffic and buyers out of the gate on a new project.
Don't look for just one way to market or advertise online – there is no such thing as 'one perfect plan' – your business requires a balanced approach to marketing. Likewise there is no one training program out there! I've found that several programs together really gets all of the details across – don't stop learning!
To your continued success…

Just Do It!
"Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly." – Stephen R Covey
I've been dealing with people for most of my life – not always a fun thing to be doing I might add.
Some people always want someone else to do it for them – some just want someone to give them an idea and they run with it. Still others want to see proof that others are really able to be successful doing what they are considering.
Which one are you?
in my last post I explained how doing a bunch of little things equals something big. I have received a couple of Emails that expressed confusion as to why I would want to do a lot of things rather than just one thing.
My answer to each of you is no matter what you want to do or which approach you choose, JUST DO IT!
I think that the hardest thing for so many people is to just commit to do something – I'm included in that group! I will admit to spending way too much time analyzing a new project and in some cases it gets lost in that process and I move on to something new.
My goal for 2010 is to just do it! I'm putting that into action now with some of the things you will see me doing online. I've had a lot of ideas over the years – yes I do have a fire burning within and yes I do get things done… eventually!
One of the things that I've had on my list for so long is to make use of a domain name that I've owned for years – gurusexposed.com. Today I've launched this site – http://GurusExposed.com. I plan to review the announced launch of Michael Jones new program "The Affiliate Code".
Actually – launching this site is another one of those things on my list for a long time. I had put up a site here 2 years ago which was nothing like this, nor was it what I was really planning to do here.
Believe in something!
I've noticed too that so many sit around complaining about their job or lack there of… or they complain that all of the 'make money online' 'things' are scams!
Stop complaining and just do something!
If that fire is burning within then do something about it – there are so many programs and you can truly try several of them and see what works for you. It is easy but it does take work and you are going to have to do the work – no matter what you choose to do!
To your continued success…
