It's Not All Fun and Games Building an Online Business


Now you know about the benefits. Let's talk reality about this world of online operations, because there seems to be some great myth that most marketers are promoting pie in the sky drams that are mostly hype and very little substance.

The reality is - it's work!

You're not going to choose a username, create a link and wake up to $1,000 that you made while you sleep.

Even affiliate marketing - where you sell other people's goods, requires you to do some work to get your share of the commission.

If you're looking for a turnkey, get rich quick miracle, Internet marketing isn't it.

Go buy a lottery ticket and pray that your numbers win big.

You can't see those stats where one guy makes $1 million in 18 hours and think that's going to happen to you your first week.

The reality is, it took more than those 18 hours to make that million - it took months, if not a year to get that product launch set up to rake in that much cash in a short period of time.

If you're not going to enjoy the drudgery of getting all your ducks in a row before the money starts rolling in, then Internet marketing may not be the business for you.

Here's just a taste of some of the tasks you might be doing to achieve the monetary rewards you're seeking:

* Building a massive warehouse list of keywords and phrases (we're talking 10k or more, not just the top 10 words).

* Writing and submitting articles - hundreds of them, to plant all around the net as a map to your offers.

* Filtering your outsourcing options - checking profiles, posting projects, and testing service providers to see who works best for your needs.

* Answering emails from customers.

* Setting up websites, even if it's just a one-page minisite with a Buy Now button.

* Handling download problems - even with the best system in place, sometimes things have a glitch and need your attention.

* Creating products - they could be in text, audio, or video format. They may be short or lengthy, depending on the amount of information you're selling.

This is a short list, but you can see immediately how much there is to do on a regular basis.

Even if you're an affiliate, you'll still be reviewing products, building a toolbox of promotional materials, and setting up autoresponder emails to convert prospects into sales.

You're Speaking Greek to Me!

If some of these terms sound foreign to you - autoresponder, affiliate marketing, and more, don't worry. In the coming weeks, you're going to get a crash course in Internet marketing from A to Z.

It's important when you're just starting out to remember that Google is your friend.

Before you email other marketers or post in forums, Google the terms you don't know.

There are a lot of people who don't take the time to educate themselves about this business, and those are the ones who fail to generate any money and continue spinning their wheels until they finally quit out of frustration.

Another good place to go is the Warrior Forum at www.WarriorForum.com.

Here, you can ask questions about this industry, but before you do, use the search feature and type in your question to see if anyone's already asked it and had it answered.

For instance, if you have a question about Squidoo, type Squidoo into the search form and you'll see a whole host of questions and answers people have given about the use of that particular site, like this:

So you can see from the above, and this is just a small fraction of the results, that many people before you have had the same questions about this topic.

This same strategy can be done in any Internet marketing forum, but the Warrior Forum is well-known for its size.
