Internet Marketing Training - Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks
Internet Marketing is the business of selling goods or services on the Internet.
The Internet has become a multi-billion dollar marketplace.
The cost to enter is low, basically the cost of a domain name and web hosting.
This alone means that amateur business people are playing on a level field with very mature marketers.
In fact, the newness of the Internet means that the amateurs often have the advantage.
They understand the uses and capabilities of computers and the worldwide web better than someone who has spent his career in a Madison Ave advertising agent.
The playbook went out the window as the Internet exploded across the world.
In nearly every situation in life, the cream rises to the top.
More often than not the best ideas are coming from young upstarts without completing a college education.
Look at Bill Gates, look at Mark Zuckerberg.
So how can you, the average person with limited Internet experience compete in the affiliate marketing world? Get some training.
I tried dabbling in Internet marketing myself.
I realized quickly I was completely outclassed.
The web has evolved so quickly that my latest ideas were old news.
The people who got into affiliate marketing ten years ago have built on ten years of experience while I was starting from scratch.
I lost a lot of money trying my ideas and quite frankly I learned a lot but I soon realized I would never catch up.
So I started buying mini-courses for $10-$50 by people who were already successful in the business.
I learned a lot there too but still could not seem to make the $100 a day income that everyone considers the first hurdle.
The idea is it will take you a while to figure things out, but once you realize you can average $100 per day, there is no limit to your earnings.
Just repeat what ever you are doing 10 times and you are now making $1000/day.
That's over a third of a million dollars per year! I found the best courses were the ones done on video.
When the instructor records his/her computer screen, it's just like sitting next to them while they work.
They call it an over the shoulder approach to teaching.
Video allows me to stop, pause, rewind and watch lessons over and over again.
It really is the best way to learn a process.
There are many diverse ways to sell on the Internet.
I recently ran across a program that focuses on micro niches.
This means to focus on and sell a single product.
A large retailer like Home Depot would never attempt to set up a marketing campaign for a single model of Dewalt drills.
An Affiliate marketer might if he thought he might be able to sell ten or twenty a day.
At only $20 commission on each, that equals a $6000/mo income.
They need only repeat the process with 4 products to make over a quarter of a million dollars per year!
