Internet marketing allows you to literally make money at the press of a button

Although the Internet is an incredible way to market your business and make a living, it is also one of the worst….if you don’t know what you are doing. Without proper preparation, what could be an amazing tool turns into massive frustration.

If you have the correct systems in place you can literally make money at the “press of a button”. This is not to say you are going to get rich quick. What it means is, when you have a proper foundation in place, you have developed and fine-tuned your systems and you are consistent in what you do you can make an incredible living from the Internet with a very high return on investment of time and money.

When I say an incredible living from the Internet, I don’t mean you are going to be the next Internet marketing guru. I simply mean the Internet can be a great tool to market your business, regardless of what business and industry you are in.

The starting place is to know who your market is and is not. From there you have to know what keeps them awake at night and determine if you are the best solution for them. The next step is to determine which products and services would be of interest (and need) to your market.

Once you determine these important factors, you can then begin the process of building your presence online. Without know who your market is, what they need and want, and why you would be the best solution for them you will likely waste untold amounts of time and money chasing after the wrong customer.

On the flip side when you know who wants to do business with you and who you want to do business with you can go deep into a market (or markets) and position yourself as someone who is a recognized authority. The more of an authority (expert) you are viewed as the easier the process becomes.

The message here…don’t just jump into trying to sell something on the Internet. Do your research and based on what you discover, decide what you are qualified to bring to market in products and services.

Re: Can you make a real living online? - Hi, Yes, I make a real living online. I started my online business with Google Adwords (interestingly) and have spent a lot of money for education and started to see the results and worked on it and still working and making money. But my main method is to join high paying programs (MLM or affiliate programs) and advertise them on ezines. For example, I joined Cruise to Cash last month and contacted to travel ezines to sell it and made agreement for each sale we will share the money (it is sold for 1477$ or 997$ and half of it is good money). There are a lot of programs like this which pays 997$ or more. Join them and advertise in different ways (press releases, article marketing, calssifieds, magazines). But I think I should have my own authority websites, too. So I bought one website and created a blog for it to share my marketing opinions there. In 15 - 20 day I'm going to build another authority blog around my another niche). Orxan
Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
