Bribes Aren’t Always Bad…Use A Bribe, Build A List
I talk alot about the need to build a list if you want a huge and virtually autopilot online business. Build your list once and it’s like having your own ATM. But, you may be wondering, how do I build a list. How do I get people to sign up for my newsletter? That’s easy, you bribe them!
Now I’m only talking about bribing them in a ethical way. You offer them something that will be of value to them in exchange for them signing up to your list (which will also offer ongoing value to them).
One of the best bribes you can give is a e-book or e-course related to your niche. Fill it with enormously useful and accurate information, truly take the time to make your bribe something that offers real value.
If you’re not quite sure where to start go to a forum related to your niche. Find out what people are asking about, what types of information they need.
Then just put that information together in an e- book or a 5 – 7 lesson e-course. Offer that to them when they sign up for your list. Than you can send out regular follow up emails that expand on what you covered in your e-course or e-book.
Make sure you sign up with a reputable auto- responder services such as Aweber. This way when they sign up they agree to receive emails from you which is called opting-in and you won’t be spamming anyone.
Write your e-course or e-book, upload it to your auto-responder service so that it goes out automatically when someone signs up and add other emails along the way. Don’t worry if this sounds hard, it’s not, as a matter of fact Aweber has plenty of trained representatives that can help you out.
So to build a truly large and profitable online business don’t skip this very easy yet very important step. Build your list of opt-in subscribers by bribing them with something that can truly help them. If you help them achieve their goals they will help you achieve yours. Truly a win/win!
Don’t Do This If You Want To Make Money On The Internet…
If you want to make money on the Internet there are 3 basic things you have to look out for. If you follow these simple guidelines you can be making money online quickly. How quickly? I don’t know, that depends on you: on how consistent you are with your business, and how closely you follow these rules.
1) Don’t skip on your education. The Internet is not all that different from the offline world in one major way: you won’t make money if you don’t know how. You wouldn’t expect to be hired on as the president of some company if you have no knowledge or experience in that field would you?
So why is it that so many people don’t bother to educate themselves on Internet marketing techniques? So many people just jump in without gaining any knowledge first and they wonder why they don’t succeed. Educate yourself first. It won’t take long and you can earn while you learn, but if you skip this step you will never earn anything but headaches.
2) Don’t jump from one ’sure thing’ to another. This relates to the point above. If you don’t educate yourself, you won’t know what to do, you won’t make any money, you will get discouraged and be very susceptible to all the scammers out there who say you can get something for nothing.
When you get frustrated and desperate you have just become scammer bait. They thrive on taking advantage of people who are desperate and frustrated. A lot of that can be avoided if you educate yourself, pick one business to run, and stick with it. I can’t guarantee how long it will take to make money if you follow these rules, but I can guarantee you won’t make any money if you don’t!
3) Don’t treat your business like a hobby. If you really want to make money online the name of the game is consistency. It doesn’t require you to invest a ton of hours every week, although that will speed things up if you can, but you have to invest the time consistently every day or every week.
Even if it’s only 3 hours a week if you do it every week you will see results. It will take longer than if you were investing 3 hours a day, but you can still get there. Just do it consistently.
Follow these guidelines about education, consistency and avoiding jumping ship at the first sign of rough seas, and you can make money online from home. You really can make more online in a shorter time than in any other way I know of as long as you do it the right way and don’t expect something for nothing. Good luck!
3 Things To Avoid If You Want To Make Money Quick Online
OK, we’ve all heard the incredible stories that you can make money quick online, but you have to be wondering to yourself…is it true? Well there is good news and bad news.
—
The good news is that you can make money quick online, depending on how much money you want to make, what you consider quick and how much time and effort you’re willing to put into the process.
—
The bad news it that no one else will do it for you. No matter how good their website looks or how intriguing their offer is you don’t get something for nothing.
—
In the real world no one would fall for a business opportunity where someone said that if you paid them a hundred dollars they would build and run your business and then pay you.
—
Yet on the Internet people fall for that type of thing all the time. Why? Is it because the Internet is still new enough to seem almost magical? Like normal rules don’t apply and anyone can get filthy rich with little to no work or previous experience?
—
Here are three of the most common mistakes you can make when starting an online business:
1) Believe that it will happen overnight or that someone else will do all the work for you and than pay you. If you think about it that just doesn’t make any sense. If they’re doing the work anyway why would they share the profit with someone else? Would you?
2) Not take the time to learn how to effectively market online. So many people will get involved in a program, throw up a website or blog and not know the first thing about how to market it (get people to visit their website).
No matter what product or service you are trying to make money quick online with you need qualified traffic on an ongoing basis to your website. You need to learn how to get that traffic and to do that you need to know a little about Internet marketing.
Learn this important step first and then you can start to make money quick online. If you skip this step you will probably never make any money online or at least only make very little.
3) Don’t bounce around from one ’sure thing’ to the next. Find one program and stick with it. I can’t stress that enough. It’s so tempting online to jump ship and look for the next great ‘opportunity’.
Especially when everyone is telling you that you can be making a ton of cash in just 24 hours or 1 week, or whatever. I’ve fallen for it myself, more times than I care to remember. Just find one system and stick with it!

So, yes, you can make money quick online. But you will need to learn how to do it first, and you can’t allow yourself to be sidetracked. Pick one system and stick with it!
