Who Is Internet Marketing For?-Just About Anyone

By | May 29, 2015

is internet marketing forI have been talking a while about internet marketing and how to make money online.  One of the questions I get is can I do this too?  Who is internet marketing for?  The answer is it is for anyone who wants to make some money online.  In other words, anyone from college students, to homemakers, to moms and dads, it really doesn’t matter who you are you can become an internet marketer.  As long as you have an internet connection a computer and some time that you can actually work on your website, then you can become an internet marketer.

my recommendations

Why use internet marketing


Internet marketing is one of the easiest ways to get started making money online.  As I stated above that you only need a few tools at your disposal and you can get started.  You will not get rich overnight.  It is a process and it really does take some time and effort.  But it really is straight forward.

Internet marketing is the use of the internet to market your product or other people’s products.  There are many ways to do this from building a website and videos with ads on them as well as pay per click advertising.  When I first started I wanted to spend the least amount of money I had to so I wouldn’t go into debt.  I tried a website with very little guidance.  It took me 6 months to make a little bit of money, and then I began to go crazy and spend money quickly thinking it would bring me more money.How Can You Make Money Blogging

That was my first mistake.  I was looking at the next shiny thing.  This happens to many people who are new to internet marketing.  Then I settled down, regrouped and started to make money.  It took some training and support from other people.  I thought I did not want to share my ideas with others because they would just take the idea and make it their own.  Instead what I found was that the more I shared the more money I made.  The more questions I asked the quicker the money came in as well.

 

What should you do to get started


I really didn’t make any true progress until I settled down and became very skeptical of all the offers to make money online that are on the internet.  You can become jaded quickly.  So where should you get started?  My suggestion is the same place that helped me build a successful online business.  You can read about it here on my number one recommendation.

The key for me was wealthy affiliates.  Not only does it have a great library of training available, it also has a community that helps teach you what to do, when to do it and how to do it to become successful in online business.  I want to stress again it is a process it is not something that you will become rich overnight with, but instead overtime you can develop healthy streams of income.

It takes some time to make money

How long until you make money


The reality is, it depends.  You could make money tomorrow.  It could take you months or even up to a year.  It depends on your effort and commitment.  You can look at it as an investment of time into yourself.  Most internet marketers do not make any money for three months.  Most don’t make steady money until 6 months.  After about a year many have a good income from their internet marketing efforts.  The amazing thing is once you have built that income you have to do very little to maintain that income.

It becomes a passive income.  Then you can move to another site and another.  You don’t need 1 site to make you $10,000 a month what is wrong with 10 sites earning you $1,000 per month?  I say nothing. It is possible to make $10,000 from one site.  But it does not take that much work to have multiple sites running at the same time and all of them making money for you.  It does take time to build the sites up.

 

Is making passive income possible.


It is not only possible but probably to make passive income from internet marketing.  I have stressed on more than one occasion on this website as well as in this article that it does take time and effort.  Anyone that tells you otherwise is not giving you the entire story.  The best feeling in the world is the first dollar you make, heck it can even be a cent.  It shows you that it really does work.

    hi Marc
    What you are saying is very true Marc. There are ways of making money online but it does take effort and time. Making money within a month is just not realistic of course and building content on a site certainly requires time and dedication. But if it is something one is passionate about, then it is worth it

      Passion and commitment is what it takes. Without both of them you will have a hard time succeeding with any business let alone one that is online. The good news is that if you manage to stay committed then you will be your own boss and work when you want to in the end.

    Marc, Thank you for the honest and realistic expectations about making money online. I too became easily distracted by every shiny thing thrown in my direction, making it impossible to move forward.
    Your strategy of several smaller sites all working for you is intriguing and seems like sound advice.
    You know what they say about all of your eggs in one basket and all of that.

      Forrest,
      The biggest hurdle to cross is the one that you can make a ton of money overnight online. When people try and fail they think that you cannot make money online. It is very difficult to build an online business quickly. Can it happen? Yes, but very improbable. It takes some time and effort to build an online business just like it takes time to build any business. The plus side is you can do it anywhere in the world and you can do it for relatively very little money compared to a brick and mortar business.
      Thank you for your comment.

      Leonardo,
      The main reason I talk about Wealthy affiliate is that it worked for me. Wealthy Affiliate is great and they give you the free trail which gives you every thing you could need to get starting. Some people may not like it as much as other programs such as Affilorama and Clickbank University. Affilorama gives a free trial as well, Clickbank University does not.

    Hi Marc,

    after I read your article about how to increase conversion rates I found this great one!
    I think many people are wondering who is internet marketing for!

    They think: “That’s not for me, I am not a webmaster, expert, computer genius,…”

    Truth is, everybody can do it.
    You make it very clear, that you need to be consistent and that success might take a while to come around.
    But it is a great way to create something of your own and a passive income.

    Thank you for your great article and website!
    Cheers

      Mortiz,

      Thank you for the response and compliments. Everyone dreams of building a passive income. It is not something that happens quickly or without work. Never trust those push button programs that say you can make tons of money without any work. An online business takes work, but once it is set up and running smoothly it takes very little work and you have a source of a passive income. That is when you start another site and another until you reach your desired income level.

    The content is very rich and targets the audience well.

    I wish you the very best for the future.
