Can the normal Joe really make money?
The short answer is of course, well okay “maybe”. You see making money online is pretty simple, in spite of this creating the type of income that motivates the majority of us requires a bit extra.
browse the web for any extent of time, and you will certainly stumble on at least a dozen so called money making offers that promise to liberate you from your current financial woes. For only $9.95 (or $47 , or $87 , or no cost) by our most recent ebook, do these unbelievably simple steps (yeah right) and you will be rolling in the bucks in no time at all.
No way.
Nonsense cunningly cloaked in intelligent copy.
The hallow guarantees these offers put together makes me want to vomit. Now don’t get me wrong it is simple to make money online, but it doesn’t come for just few bucks or with no effort on your part. No, to be really honest building a company on the online, like building a brick and mortar company is going to require an investment of at least a couple of thousand dollars in startup and after that a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars a month in promotion and maintenance.
Just like a real company.
The get loaded quick group has tainted the entire home based company arena, and it’s full time we set the record straight. The MLM industry is partly to blame for the distorted perception with the over zealous reps taught to sell the dream ad nauseam, and worst yet to go bug their family and friends to join them in a failing endeavor.
So what does it truly take to make money online?
Well, in a word: “marketing”… (and of course some hard work)
Obviously a manufactured goods is necessary, but without marketing, the best manufactured goods in the world isn’t going anywhere. And, fortunately for us making a living online, marketing on the online is simple, and once you get is setup correctly, basically hands free.
Marketing on the online involves two major factors: developing a “sales funnel” and then driving massive traffic to that sales funnel. The bad news is setting up a highly optimized sales funnel is time consuming, and costly, the good news is once it’s setup, you can focus the majority of your efforts on driving the traffic to the front end.
But driving traffic is simple as long as you have some type of marketing budget to work with. I teach a monkey to generate 2000 leads a month, so as long as the sales funnel is set up to produce consistent results, you should be able to generate a 300% to 400% return on investment. At least that’s what my sales funnel achieves.
Here’s where many people get tripped up. They assume that joining an affiliate program or even an network marketing company, is building a company. Nothing could be further from the truth. Going down that path alone and you are building the company of the affiliate owner or network marketing company, not your own.
Now, I have as part of my sales funnel both affiliate programs, and network marketing businesses but they are part of my money making machine, not the sole thing I do. And my sales funnel is setup and controlled by me. There are services to be had that dedicate yourself to in teaching people on how to setup world class sales funnels, and in fact stumble on the right one and you can get a fundamental setup to start making money with straight away.
So of course, you can make money … if you do it right.
