Never Give Up

It's a long time saying that goes winners never quit and quitters never win. I totally agree with that statement because I've been through some tough times while trying to reach a goal. I never would've accomplished anything in life if I threw in the towel.

I remember when I first started internet marketing. I was a complete novice going through one sales page to the next. I bought this and I bought that, only to leave me with an empty wallet. Information overload had taken a hold on me and I thought that my goal was going to be further than I can reach. Because of my passion for internet marketing, I didn't quit. I finally made my first sale with something that worked and it inspired me to keep on going.

So whatever your goal is, make sure it's something that you want really bad. Once the going gets tough, never ever give up because success could be right around the corner.

The Secret (Law Of Attraction)

A lot of people ask me have I read The Secret and what do I think about the law of attraction. I tell them yes, I have read the book and to be honest, I was applying the principles long before I knew what the law of attraction was.

I remember when I was in high school, every night before I went to sleep I used to visualize myself driving a new car. I knew what color it was going to be and every little detail. I ended up getting my drivers licence and a friend drove me to the car lot. I was looking at a specific car when my friend pointed out a different car. That car she pointed out was the same exact car I have been visualizing. I couldn't believe it. I didn't even know about the law of attraction back then. I just knew I had the power to get anything I wanted.

My First Online Sale

I still remember when I made my first sale at internet marketing. It was four years ago and it was quite a joyous day. For years I wanted to be successful at internet marketing and on that day I had accomplished a goal that was dear to me. I had made money online.

It was my very first website and I was selling video tutorials on how to make money on craigslist. It was then that I made my first $20 through PayPal. Later on I tried my hand at affiliate marketing which is promoting other people's products for a commission. I had a squeeze page offering a free report and promoted products by email. It was then that I made my first $100 through Clickbank. The product I used to make the money was this one.

Internet Marketing Forums

The best place where an internet marketer can learn so much about their field is the internet marketing forum. There are plenty of forums to choose from but the most popular ones are the Warrior Forum and Digital Point. These two forums have plenty of experts to help you and it's free to join. 

Another benefit of joining an internet marketing forum is traffic to your site. The way to do this is to add a link to your site in your signature. Once you do that you can start posting but make sure you have something useful to say instead of being a spammer. Once you gain a reputation, people will click on your signature link to see what you have to offer.

SEO vs. PPC

In the internet marketing world there are two main sources of getting traffic to your website. There is paid traffic and there is free traffic. The way most internet marketers pay for traffic is by PPC which is pay per click. That process consists of posting an ad with Google AdWords and you pay by the click. This method only works if you have the cash to do it but it's the quickest way to get traffic to your site.

The way most internet marketers get free traffic is by SEO which is search engine optimization. This method consists of searching for the right keywords and getting your website ranked high in the search engines. There is content writing and backlink building involved. This method takes quite some time to get traffic but it definitely pays off in the long run.
