Make Money Online – How to Profit from Internet Marketing

Thousands of people are trying to make money online to earn a residual income, however statistics show that only 3% of people that try are successful. In this article, I want to tell you exactly how to be in that 3% and succeed at making money online through by selling products online.

Firstly, before I get into the main part of this post, I should just say that before you even start to figure out how to use internet marketing to make money online you should get your mindset in the right place.

I always say that you need a “rottweiler after a piece of meat” mindset…What does that mean? It means you need to visualise and picture what your goal is and take firm action each and every day to achieve your vision.

Here’s a famous quote from Brian Tracy, a world renowned life coach:-

All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose

So, assuming that you’ve got your mindset in the right place, let me now move onto the main part of this post:

How do You Profit from Internet Marketing?

Let me just quickly say that making money online is a process. And to follow the process you need certain skills….skills that can absolutely be learned. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel – there are proven models out there that you can copy.

All the top internet marketers follow a basic system. Sure their system may be slightly different in some respects, but fundamentally there 6 main steps at the core. Here are those steps:-

  1. Find a niche market
  2. Create a web site
  3. Build an email list
  4. Build a relationship with your subscribers
  5. Promote products to your list
  6. Drive Traffic!

The great thing about this system is that once you get it up and running you’ll be able to bring in money on autopilot.

The Key Part to This Money Making Process

If there’s one thing you should take away from reading this article it’s this: you need to build your list! All top internet marketers will tell you that your email list is the most important part of your online business and the reason is simple – it allows you to create what’s called a profit funnel. Let me explain a bit more about a profit funnel:

Once you have visitors on your email list, you need to build the relationship with them by sending them really helpful, valuable content related to the niche that you’re in. Once you have earned their trust and respect you can then start promoting products that are genuinely useful to them.

Now, it is proven that it is more expensive to find new customers than it is to sell to your current customers. And that’s what a profit funnel is all about. You should design a path so that buyers can become repeat buyers. What’s more, they should become repeat buyers of higher end products – this is what’s really going to make a difference to your bottom line.

Once you Have a Strong Profit Funnel in Place…

When your profit funnel or system is in place, it is simply a matter of driving traffic to your web site to capture more names and email addresses. Now, you can do this with free methods of paid methods – and the effectiveness of either very much depends on the niche that you’re working in.

To really scale your business upwards, you should track and calculate the value per visitor to your web site. This is really important because it will allow you to start looking at paid sources of traffic, and that’s when your business goes into overdrive!

If you can find paid traffic sources that cost less per visitor than what you earn, then you’ll be able to build a highly valuable list fast and you’ll turn a profit.

When you’re at this stage, it’s a case of tweaking the system to maximise conversion or rinsing and repeating in other niches.

In Summary

What I’ve just explained to you is a very powerful system that will make you money if you follow it through. Where most people fail is they don’t want to spend the month or so that it takes to set everything up. Make sure you’re one of the 3% – having read this article you now have the strategy, the rest is up to you to make it happen.
