There seems to be a barrier that prevents the majority of internet marketers from getting to their first $1000 online. A while ago I did a survey to my list and collected around 200 data points of information to find out where people were at with their business.
The results were really quite astounding.
Over 50% hadn’t made anything.
Over 75% hadn’t made their first $1,000.
Less than 7% were making more than $500 per month.
What Makes for Such Poor Statistics?
I see a common path for internet marketing beginners when they stumble into this whole “make money online” industry:-
- They’re sold the notion that making money online is a get rich quick process
- They get scammed having bought a “push button” product
- They realise they got scammed and go hunting for answers
- They build a few sites, build a few backlinks wait a week and don’t make any money
- They spend their whole time on forums looking for the “answer”
- And then it seems to click….
There is a common misconception that those who are successful online are cleverer, or have some kind of inside information that is the missing part of the jigsaw. The reality couldn’t be further from the truth.
When I look around at the people who are making the most amount of money online – the bright ones aren’t listed there. It’s the ones who have the ability to stick it out – who take a system and follow it relentlessly – who overcome barriers and keep on going.
So here’s the Simple Process to Make your First $1000 Online
This is the fool proof strategy that anybody can use to generate an income.
Firstly – find a market in which people are already spending money. Don’t try and create a niche that doesn’t already exist – that’s a high risk strategy and may lead to spending a serious amount of time and effort for no return.
Secondly – position yourself in that market. Look at what your competitors are doing / selling to make money – use this information to help figure out what people are looking for.
Thirdly – don’t stop building and promoting that site until it is making money. The most important aspect of the whole process – you only get paid at 100%. Building a site for a few weeks and then giving up is NOT the answer. Develop that site until it gains traction – whether that be from free or paid traffic.
Finally – optimise your conversions. Figure out how you can make more per visitor. This could involve testing, adding upsells, creating an email marketing funnel to improve the sales funnel – whatever!
The whole process may take a few months. It may take up to a year. This system works beautifully to the point that every niche you enter, you will make a decent amount of money from. You’re not doing anything clever, under the radar etc. You just work the system and you see it through!
I’m pretty passionate about this whole internet marketing, make money online thing – so I’ll be posting about ways in which you can build out this whole process over the coming weeks, right the way from how to make sure that the market pays, to muscling your way into the most competitive of niches.
