Intro

Okay well I’ll be honest so far my attempts to earn online have been less than profitable but I have learnt and explored many avenues and although there have been a few dark days I’m far from giving up.

So here is what I’ve gathered so far on my journey.....

Persistence

Perhaps the most vital feature, and if you’ve not read someone talking about ‘keeping at it’ ‘not giving up’ or any of the many other mantras of various marketers then you’ve not read enough of the good ones ;P

And even though I (like so many) started out in this online world with dreams of making money form little or no work and have had the ‘Wow this is a LOT harder than I thought’ moment, it’s only served to strengthen my resolve to get the right system for me and start that elusive income stream.

The thing to remember is that nothing your doing or learning is wasted. EVERY skill or action you can learn or take online can be monetized it just takes the right system and motivation and you’ll be on the path that’s going to bring you the income your looking for.

The challenge is that because everything can be turned into yet another system or project it’s all too easy to get distracted and start a hundred different routes all at once and then become disillusioned when none of them seem to become profitable, doing everything at once won’t return results (believe me) but it’s also not a waste of your time.

If you find that you’ve fallen into the habit of starting some new thing everytime you sit down to ‘work’ online then stop for a moment and take a look at everything you’ve done recently, make an honest appraisal of which one of the many skills needed to complete your tasks you actually enjoy.

For sure there will be some that you love and some that you could do without, once you’ve found the key areas that light you up start to prune away all the avenues that don’t support that tendency, at this point you might start to worry your giving up too soon on something that might have turned out in the end, but remember that there are SOOO many ways to turn the Internet into a source of income you’ll be doing yourself a massive favour if you focus on the ones you actually enjoy doing.

Learn from the Masters

With the internet your given an amazing connection with everyone, even the big boys of whatever field your in especially Online Marketing.

These guys and girls live and breath the internet, it's where they work and often where they play so hunt them out. Go find their FaceBook pages, or their blogs or even better their YouTube channel.

The model of today is Free and big value, so they will be giving away amazing offers and nuggets of info all the time, and even if they are just selling to you if you find the real 'masters' then study their selling processes and make sure your doing something similar because these guys know what they are doing when it comes to sales.

For me the ultimate example of the right way to approach online sales is Mike Hill. I've actually bought pretty expensive courses from this guy and am confident that success will follow when i apply everything i've learnt from him.

But he's not just a great salesman or marketer he's also an awesome guy and just by making sure to grab a hold of everything Mike Hill i could i've come across so many incredible tips and tricks, not to mention a perfect example of the right mind set to make it work and be ethical while your doing it.

So bring out the inner stalker and make sure you get to know the masters ;)

Be Organized

This one i'm still having trouble with.

There's a lot of routes and options and if you don't make a plan and employ persistence and focus it can seem like your not getting anywhere.

Check out the free site https://bubbl.us/ where you can easily create mindmaps to plan out your LandingPages or sales systems, or even just the next steps your going to take as you learn.

Almost any 'system' you might be following will work, but if you start half a dozen at once your results will be slow....trust me :S

Value

There's so much more i could put into this but if your trying to learn online marketing i'm betting your already pretty swamped with things to read and learn so i'll keep it short.

But this last feature is an important one, because Value is where you should be trying to get at all times, what can you offer? what have you learnt that you can give back? whats the value of your site, blog, video etc.

Without Value nowadays your just going to get lost in the background, also worth mentioning is not to under value your own skills or knowledge, chances are that you already know something that would seem like an amazing skill to someone else, and i know from my own experiance you can so easily overlook what you have to offer right now and waste precious time trying to manufacture value that you either don't believe in or don't have a natural talent for.

Synopsis

There's oppertunity a-plenty out there so just dive in and get learning,

find something you enjoy and leave the rest alone untill you've got good at one thing,

make sure you keep your eyes peeled for experts and then just do what they do,

And keep going!
