In The Footsteps Of The MoneyMakers

One of the keys to understanding how to earn income online is to quietly observe how others succeed - or how they stumble and fall in their marketing efforts.

If you've ever posted an url on a free for all links site,no doubt, you were promptly deluged with dozens of "confirmation e-mails," most of which were nothing more than advertisements for some fancy new product or business program.

If you're new to the net, instead of quickly deleting these irritating mails, it may ultimately be to your benefit to sample a few first. Glance inside and study how these advertisers are trying to get your attention. Notice the use of language. The catch phrases used. Study how are they trying to entice you to click on their url link and visit their website.

Are they using the hard sell? Or are they being somewhat evasive and coy, hinting that you're missing your one final shot at financial success, unless you do something right now! The catch is that you won't know "exactly" what it is they're about, until you take a look-see at their web site. -- A good technique.

Also emulate those techniques which you find to be effective. Or that ring of truth. A good advertisement is one that puts you in a receptive or positive mindset.

And learn what not to do, from those advertisements that you find to be poorly conceived, insulting, awkwardly written, or unprofessional. If you don't like what you're reading. Ask yourself why. You certainly don't want to waste your precious time designing an advertising campaign, that will only turn potential customers off.

One of the smartest things you can also do is to memorize the names that you come across from day to day. Names such as Allan Gardyne, Ken Evoy, or Corey Rudl, to site a few examples.

This is very important.

You will notice that internet entrepreneurs such as those just mentioned, are accomplished at getting their name, their business, or their product, in front of the buying public. And they do it legitimately, without spamming or using other unsavory methods.

In fact, many of these established internet entrepreneurs, never use ffa sites, or any annoying devices such as those gruesome pop-up ads that fill up your web browser. Most will not post to the popular business newsgroups.

But how have you come to recognize their names?

Perhaps they author ezine articles. Or maybe you've seen banner advertisements for their product on a web-based e-mail site, or at an internet resource center that you've visited. Maybe you've seen their ads on a classifieds page. Alternately, some web site business owners may invite a well-regarded internet entrepreneur to test a product or service that they offer. Then they will quote their testimonial. This tactic may boost sales and heighten the reputation of all parties involved.

This is how it happens online, people work together, and success often breeds more success.

But you don't have to be a BIG player to allow this pattern to work for you, as well. Don't be discouraged if you're a "newbie" and don't know anyone. Even the big moneymakers had to start somewhere. And everyone was a "newbie" once.

Here's a suggestion.

It relates back to the point at the end beginning of this article. If one of the big moneymakers sends you an advertisement. Read it! And if you have the opportunity, subscribe to their ezine. You won't be sorry. They want to share their knowledge and success. That's how they became a major player in the first place.

An alternative is to subscribe to the ezine of someone who may be more modest in internet stature, but who has impressed you with their knowledge and savvy. Maybe they are are a mid-level entrepreneur with a home business web site. ASK what programs they are having financial success with. Or what business tools they frequently use. If you're a subscriber to their ezine, it's possible they will only welcome your questions, and your interest. If not - find someone who will.

But in the end, don't expect someone else's efforts, or someone else's advertising budget, to get you over. And be wary of individuals who blanket the internet with e-mail, and continually jump from program, to program, to program. -- It's a fine line. Use your intuition. You want a mentor. Someone who's willing to help, because someone once helped them. But you don't want to waste a moment with a "mass" recruiter/salesperson who's only out for the quick first-run commission, and who doesn't care at all about his/her customers, or down line if they are involved in an mlm-type business.

So, just use common sense. And remain undeterred in your goals, whatever they may be. Because in the end, your ultimate fate on the internet will be determined on the basis of your resourcefulness, doggedness, Free Web Content, and how unacceptable you are of failure.
