Ignore-the-Hype---A-Sensible-Approach-is-Needed-
My experience of the Internet,
As a relative newcomer to Internet Marketing, or Online
Business, there is one thing I did learn very quickly. I am not
going to become rich in 15 minutes! I learned this almost as
quickly as my credit cards reached their maximum limit. You see,
I was taken in by all the hype I was being bombarded with. Have
you seen some of it?
Start making $1,000s 15 minutes from now!
Get to the top of the Search Engines in 48 hours!
Get 20 million laser targeted ready to buy prospects to your
website!
Make $1,000 in one week.
Create a massive downline instantly and without even trying!
Now, there may be an element of truth there somewhere, but the
fact is to become successful on the internet you will need to
have some money to invest, some time to invest, some invaluable
guidance from people who already are successful, and you may
need some luck.
I have spent a lot of time and money, with little return,
finding this out the hard way. I was a sucker for everything
that landed in my inbox. I believed the dreams that were being
sold to me, I checked my programs every morning only to find I
had no referrals, no leads, and no sales. You see, I started
with Affiliate Programs and Referral Programs that required me
to build a downline. I advertised anywhere I could, free
advertising posts, free traffic exchanges, and even Google
Adwords. Nothing! What was happening, where was I going wrong?
Well, I figure that the traffic exchanges attract sellers - not
buyers. Everyone seems to be surfing to earn credits to use to
promote their own programs, so they are highly unlikely to pay
much attention to mine! On Google Adwords an affiliate link
stands out like a sore thumb and people tend to ignore them,
except for some unscrupulous rivals who will click on your ad
simply to cost you money. If I have an affiliate link to a
company that is a household name, people will tend to go
directly to that company, won't they.
I was now desperate. I was ready to pack in all in. Then I
started to pay attention. I started to listen to all the advice
that was coming to me about how to make some money. This was
advice coming from sources who did not want my money. Well not
just my money. I started to make some progress with Reality
Networkers. What I saw made sense. Most networking programs
operate a matrix with 5 on your first level, right. This can be
achieved quite quickly, but what then? If your downline is not
active then nothing else happens. With Reality Networkers, the
matrix is forced, so your upline and your downline help to fill
positions. When your second level is complete you get a big
payout, and when your third level is complete, the whole team
moves on to different plans, so residual income is guaranteed.
While all this is transpiring it is worth considering having
your own web site. There are many cheap Domains and Hosting
Packages to get you started. Two of the most important factors
in getting your site rated are content and backlinks. There are
many sources for free content, though maybe not ideal, free
content is better than no content! Regarding backlinks (other
web sites linking to yours) this was where I made my best single
investment out of the thousands of dollars that I have wasted.
SEO Elite is a software package that is very easy to use. It will
find, and enable you to automatically submit to
other sites for link exchanges. If you want to move up the
Search Engine Rankings this is a priceless tool, and offers
excellent after sales service (highly recommended). So if you
are where I was not so long ago, I hope you will see from this
article that there can be light at the end of the tunnel. Join a
sensible program, buy sensible tools, and most of all ignore the
hype!
