The Only Real Online Business, Internet Marketing

Internet marketing is by far the most popular online business model. No other work from home process offers the same opportunity to build a residual income and to a degree, a passive income. It is possible to set and forget using some fairly basic automation once your system is in place and working. The problem has been that too many people have been offering IM as a "get rich quick" scheme. It is not. Its like any other business, you need to learn your trade, be disciplined enough to follow a plan and put the work in to pull it all together. I have broken the process down into 7 steps. Step 1/ Training, Step 2/ Product selection, Step 3/ Traffic generation, Step 4/ Website or Blog design and build, Step 5/ Take Action, Step 6/ Testing, Step 7/ Time management. By far the most important step is "Take Action" because even if the other steps are not perfect you have no opportunity to discover what works and what doesn't. You will inevitably find that your first efforts will not work. This is part of the learning process. Go back to the Plan and amend. This is the first of a series of articles on the Internet Marketing planning process. Until the next part,... Anna

Life Gets In The Way!

Its been a while since I last posted in my blog I know but as they say - life gets in the way! So here's an update 5FigureDay is going ok. More signups and helping those who have signed up to produce results. Without their success my monthly income will wither and die. If you have'nt already checked it out have a look for yourself http://vur.me/toptrump/income, So what have I been doing? I divide my day into sections so that nothing becomes so important that it interferes with other parts of my business. Each day has to have a routine. After all this is a business so has to be run like a business. First, an important task is to search the Internet Marketing and Work Online community for new programs with potential. Sounds easy but could easily eat up a whole day and still only scratch the surface so I have developed a system of excluding the potential scams from the start. problem is they are becoming more and more adept at making the improbable look possible. With many it is easy as anything that begins "invest $47 and earn $1,000 in 7 days!" is just not going to happen. For someone just beginning online I have found this complete ebook writing program which takes you through the whole process. Cost; $4.99! with a money back guarantee that seems like money well spent.http://vur.me/toptrump/write, take a look. To anyone just starting, you need some seed money as there are tools you will need to buy to make your online business work.
