Can YOU Make Money With Internet Marketing?
YES, YOU CAN if you have the right mindset.
You must adopt the right mindset from the start. If you think you can make a large income from starting out you are mistaken. It takes time and effort to succeed in Internet Marketing as in any other business.
You didn’t learn to drive a car with only one lesson it took a number of lessons and a driving test before you were qualified to drive. In Internet Marketing, there are no examinations to pass but you still need to learn the ropes.
A lot of information on Internet Marketing tells you that you can succeed by doing next to nothing. This is totally false and if you believe the hype, you will end up spending a small fortune and getting nothing or very little in return.
There are people out there who are making thousands of dollars each day but what their advertising blurbs don’t tell you is that they may have taken a few years to get to the point where they started making big money.
They also don’t tell you how much they have spent to bring the money in, all they quote is the income with none of the expenses (staff, taxes etc.)
Bear in mind that an offline business with a turnover of $1,000,000 may have expenses of $950,000 so only makes a profit of $50,000. While the expenses in Internet Marketing are less you still have to pay any staff you have and any taxes due to the government also any training or coaching courses you attend. If you outsource your web design, graphics etc. you also have to pay for these from your income.
Therefore, as I said at the start there is money to be made from Internet Marketing, but if you believe it is a get rich quick business this belief can wreck your chances of success, as you will eventually quit due to your lack of success and from constantly being ripped off.
The amount of effort and investment in both time and money you put in is directly proportional to the amount of money you get back. To start with you will need a domain name, hosting and an autoresponder service.
A domain name will cost less than $10 per year and I recommend Name Cheap for getting your domain name from, I also suggest that you should use your own name as your domain name and if possible get a .com name.
For hosting I recommend Hostgator and by clicking the link you can get you first month for $0.01. The best autoresponder service around is Aweber and they offer the first month for $1.00 and then $19.00 per month. Aweber have a series of training videos which anyone can watch to learn how to set up an autoresponder series from start to finish.
When you are starting out and maybe unable to outsource a lot of the work you will have to do it all yourself so be prepared to work long hours for little returns. Once you become successful, you will be able to outsource most of the effort, sit back, relax, and enjoy the internet lifestyle talked about in many sales letters.
For the best internet marketing training sign up with the Internet Business CodeX (IBCX) and you will learn everything from the very basics to the more advanced in a logical easy to follow way. I myself have joined this training and coaching program and highly recommend it.
Your comments are always welcome and I look forward to reading them.

These are very useful and need to know tips for everyone who plans using Internet marketing to promote his business.
I, and I say this from my own personal experience, think that email marketing is the marketing strategy that offers the biggest return for the initial investment. It is really easy to set up.
All you need is a good email template to get your potential customers interested and an email database with opt-in email addresses that you can gather on your own or buy from one of the many email list providers on line.
I’ve been buying my email databases from XXXX (link deleted) and so far it is as good as it gets.
Hi
I do not recommend purchasing email addresses, they could be for people who have opted into an online order form for something totally different to what you are offering and thus may report you for spam.
If someone has not specifically opted to allow you to email them then your email is spam. With some marketers when you sign up you are asked to fill in the names and emails of 3 – 5 friends to receive a free or heavily discounted item. If you do you are allowing the marketer to spam email them, you do not have the right to sign your friends email addresses uo to a list they have never heard of.

Hi Richard
Too many people think that Internet Marketing is easy and done in five minutes a day with 2 clicks of a mouse.
In reality as you and I know, it is hard work when you are starting out and takes a lot of time. No magic button.
