Needed Some Extra Income
In the beginning, the Internet for me was a way to communicate with others, play games, do some research and buy stuff conveniently. And when I needed to make some extra income, I naturally turned to the internet.
It seemed that there were a lot of people promoting a lot of products and services. Checking them out, I saw an obvious pattern from them.
1. They promoted stuff. 2. Someone bought their stuff. 3. They made money.
"Ok," I thought, "I can do that!"
Failing At First
So I got some products to promote. Not having my own stuff, I applied as an affiliate for other people's products.
Using the promotional ads they provided, I joined Traffic Exchanges, Safelists, Classified Ads, and FFA's. Copy. Paste. Click Submit. Press Send. Then I smiled, sat back and waited.
... And waited ... and waited ... and waited some more!
There were no sales, no sign-ups, and no money coming in. But I was getting a ton of emails from others with their counter offers!
What's going on?
Learning From Successful Ones
I signed up to be on the lists of many of the visible marketers online. After going through their messages, I noticed three who mentioned key marketing principles and were willing to share their discoveries to their list members.
Though they mentioned a couple of things, they were all unanimous in this ONE, KEY PRINCIPLE that makes everything work!
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LIST!
Having your list of prospects and customers is an important asset no online marketer can do without!
Figuring Out What I Needed ... And Almost Quitting
Having no list, I now knew what I needed to do. I had to build one for myself. But when I did some research on the things I would need in order to build a list, it became a little overwhelming.
� I needed to convince people to hand over their contact details. � I needed something to trade for their details. � I needed a website called a squeeze page to present that free gift. � I needed that squeeze page hosted online. � I needed to have some programming script to make sure that those who signed-up would be able to confirm it, and to redirect them to a "Thank you" page, or any website after they confirm. � I needed a contact list that would hold their contact details. � I needed to follow-up immediately after they signed-up and confirmed (even though it was somewhere in the middle of the night when I was sleeping!). � I needed to keep on following-up at regular intervals - for every one who signs-up!
Projecting the amount of work and money needed to build a list, I was getting a headache. It just didn't seem worth all the trouble. I was about to give up on my internet income dreams.
MY 12SC Moment
And then I discovered this Marketing System and Complete Business Center that provided everything I needed all under one roof - at a price that I could afford. Heck, anybody could afford this!
You could join for free and test the system out for 7 days. After that, you needed to upgrade to maintain your membership.
This was where I got nervous. With all the resources they offered � autoresponders, trackers, capture page creators, blogging platforms, article directories, training resources, rotators, SEO tools, and so much more! � I thought this would cost mean arm and a leg. Heck! 10 arms and 10 legs � and I had only 2 of each!
Then I finally looked at the price � AND I WAS FLOORED!
For a very low and very affordable price, I get access to all these professional tools! They were not asking for hundreds of dollars, a hundred dollars, or even fifty!
This was a no-brainer. If I could save money with this low investment, and make more money by using their state-of-the-art tools and resources, then that would be a win-win situation for me!
Now, I'm doing what those successful marketers are doing. I'm building my business asset - MY LIST!
Just like the gurus. Except I�m just a regular Joe. Just like you. And if I can do it, so can you!
And I'm beginning to see results. A sign-up here. A sales there. Some commissions coming in. Don't get me wrong. I'm not there yet.
But with the way things are going with THIS, I'll eventually get there!
Until next time, have a great day!
