Internet Marketing For Newbies

I sent this email out to one of my lists but I thought you might be interested in this as well so I’m posting it here.

Hi ,

Even though we have not met, I can tell you two things about yourself (I get the psychic part from my mother’s side).

* You’re looking to make money online

* MLM might not be right for you

No, I’m not really psychic, but you are on my list so I know you are interested in making money online and besides, who in this economy isn’t looking for extra income.

The MLM part, I figure I have a 50/50 shot at getting that right.

MLM is not for everyone. The big drawback with MLM is the phone recruiting you need to do. I don’t care which company you pick or the pretty package and bow they rap around it, if it’s MLM then you need to recruit on the phone.

I don’t know about you but I’ve always found it hard because I either didn’t fully believe in the product or system that I had (I already spent the money to join so I wanted to at least make enough money to cover my looses) or in one case, and I’m sure you could name a few yourself, the products or pay system was so darn complicated that I just could not fully rap my mind around it.

How are you suppose to recruit people on the phone when you don’t fully understand it yourself?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking MLM, I happen to like the MLM model, it’s just not right for everyone. It may not be right for you but that doesn’t mean you can’t make money online!

There’s many ways to make money on line. My two favorites are Internet Marketing and Cash Gifting.

Although I like the money I get from internet marketing, the geeky side of me really loves the coding and website building and all the other stuff that comes with internet marketing. But enough about me.

Also, I ask you for a phone number, that’s so I can call you back within 24 hours just to let you know there’s a real person behind the website and offer to answer any questions you might have. What you won’t hear from me is ANY form of sales pitch what-so-ever. Read the website from beginning to end and it will answer 95% of your question. You will also see a link to a webinar, if you have any interest in what you have just read, you should sign up for the webinar and they’ll show you the back office and give you the opportunity to get any and all your questions answered.

I know I said the next post would be on PPC but I received an email Saturday that quite frankly, got me so hot I wanted to climb through the screen and throttle the guy. I wanted to tell you about this experience so that you might avoid the same mistakes. I decided to wait a few says before posting so as the post would not be dripping with venom.

SO, what got me so upset?

I WAS on this gentleman email list and he sent me this email:

I’m always in the market for PLR content, especially if it has Master Rights, so when I received this well written and to the point email I clicked on his link.

The first issue I had with him is that after I clicked on his link and his sales page came up I was greeted with a PopOver. A popover is the same thing as a popup except you can’t block it. This popover used Background Shading so that the web page became darken and the popover was front and center. Although there is a healthy debate about popovers in the IM field, I have no problem with them. However, this popover gave the user NO choice. There was no way to close out if the user didn’t want to opt-in, you either filled out your name and email address or you left the site.

Note: If you use popovers ALWAYS give the end user a way to opt-out, most have a close icon in the upper right corner.

Wanting the PLR I filled out the popover using an email address I check once a month or so. This brought back the sales page. I look at the first 5 or so then I proceeded to follow his instruction and scrolled to the bottom, click on his download link then entered the code I was given.

The next thing that happen was I was taken to PayPal. My eyes jumped right to the total and it was $0.00 so I started to enter my PayPal password then STOPPED. Something wasn’t right, why would you go to a PayPal page for $0.00 and not right to the download page? I then started to read the entire page.

The second line of the invoice stated that I would be charged starting next month $147 a month for access to his site.

NO where and I mean NO where was anything said about a membership fee! Maybe in his sales letter, but he said to bypass the sales letter by scrolling down to the bottom.

Let’s be frank… If you put up a site that doesn’t look good or there is allot of typos in your content, that looks bad on  YOU. If you pull a stunt like this guy did to trick the consumer into something, THAT MAKES ALL INTERNET MARKETERS LOOK BAD!

Don’t use your talents as an Internet Marketer to swindle someone. It will come back to bite you in the butt and again, it makes us ALL look bad.

Ok, I’m getting off my soap box now. I promise to talk about PPC in the next post.

Till then…

Well, sort of. I bought Blogging to the Bank 3.0 thinking it was just updated and if I learned one or two new things it would be worth the money. I didn’t expect what I found. This little (58 pages) eBook is packed with on topic information and little to no fluff! Personally, if I see fluff, I move on. I just don’t have that kind of time. So, Blogging to the Bank 3.0 has past my first two major hurdles.

1. Must be recently updated or new - What worked last year may not work today!
2. NO fluff - Not enough time in a day to be reading dribble

Here are some of the topics within this eBook:

• Market Research & Keyphrase Lists
• Creating Your Blog
• Optimizing Your Blog
• Content
• Promotion & Backlinks
• Advanced SEO Techniques
• Web 2.0 Strategies
• Outsourcing & Building Your Blog Empire
• Selling Your Blog

There’s more but you get the idea.

I can definitely recommend Blogging To The Bank 3.0 for Newbie’s and even experienced IMers. In the next few weeks when I get some free time, I plan on putting BTTB 3.0 to work. I’m going to follow it step by step and see how well it performs.

Right now I’m still working on my last two projects, ExtensiveInfo.com and BestRealSpyGear.com and I’m taking an Pay-Per-Click Marketing Accreditation Course from Wealthy Affiliate University. More on the PPC course in my next post.
