So many people on the net are proclaiming they make thousands of dollars “doing nothing” - when in fact they aren’t making money either and are just praying you’ll believe them and buy their products!

Internet marketing isn’t new. I started out with a website in 1995 and was affiliated with Amazon. I was just playing around and the Amazon thing was a bonus.
In 2006 $6billion was spent on marketing and it’s forecast to rise to $9billion for 2007. The money is there but you need to filter through the garbage and learn the necessary steps.

It’s like building a house. Buy land, decide on the type of house you want to build. Start with your foundations and build up. The same with your business. There are certain things you need to spend money on like hosting, domain names and advertising.

But never lose sight of the key factors! Why do people search the internet? Mostly, they want information, secondly they want to interact with others around the world (hence the Web 2.0 platform). Too many marketers are selling to other marketers! What about the millions of ordinary people out there?? There are viable customers outside the internet marketing realm who are wanting products and services too.

I’ll leave you all with this thought….what are you good at? C’mon this isn’t hard. Surely you’re great at something like growing roses, baking the best pies, or maybe you’ve become an expert in your job (mortgage advice, credit cards, insurance) I highly recommend you start where you are most experienced. You can certainly build on a niche.

Perhaps, you’re scratching your head and wondering what you’re good at. Do you know someone who is an expert on a particular topic? You have an untapped resource right there. Consider doing an interview and recording it. You could package the audio along with a written transcript as your own product. I’m sure if you really think about this you’ll find some hidden resources right under your nose.
