Are You Ready To Learn How To Make Money on the Internet? 3 Serious Questions To Ask Yourself To Find Out!

Posted on 22. Jun, 2009 by Derrick.

Are you ready to learn how to make money on the internet or how to achieve any desire, dream or goal you might have?  here’s 3 Serious Questions to ask yourself to find out if you’re a contender!

I’ve just read Alex Jeffrey’s New ebook - Newbie’s Nightmare which you can download for free, and thought I would do a 3 part review mixed in with some of my personal thoughts and ideas :).  Firstly its relatively lightweight and easy to read- only 46 pages, about a 45minute read (1 page a minute) but it contains some highly concentrated concepts, and strategies, including detailing Alex Jeffrey’s basic marketing strategy.

Although Newbie’s Nightmare does not have chapter headings or sections, it is basically split into 3 parts (hence the 3 part review). - Here is my breakdown of the sections:

1. 1. The Prelude - The Prerequisites to being successful online
   2. The Problems - The 3 common problems newbies face
   3. The Pathway To Success - Understanding The Internet Marketing Method (This last part includes the hurdle that is stopping 99% of newbie’s from ever making money.

So in this first part of this Review I’ll be giving you my slant on the Prerequisites - and there are only 3!

1. TIME

Do you have the TIME to invest to become successful? Sometimes we are in a very busy place - everything seems to be happening at once - we have problems at work, financial challenges, relationship issues, health problems or just as possible - they could all be good but stressful events - eg buying a new house or moving house, planning a holiday, getting married, getting promoted at work.  These are probably not the best times to begin a new venture.  I believe these are valid reasons why you may not have the time right at the time, but they will only delay the determined individual for a short period of time.

Generally most of us we usually do not have all these things happening at once and if we really wanted to, we could MAKE THE TIME. Just think about all the time we sometimes waste on unimportant things that really have little or no impact on the quality of our life (I know I wasted my first 30min this morning just surfing and reading some news when I should have started preparing for the day).  So really, the question is not do YOU have the time to invest to become successful, but do YOU WANT to invest the time to be successful.

You need to ask yourself - Am I Prepared to set aside time, MAKE TIME EVERYDAY to do what is necessary to become successful at something (whether that be making money online or learning a new skill).

2. TARGET

Do you have a TARGET?  do you have a goal, a dream a desire? Something you really want?

It doesn’t have to be big or amazing. but whatever it is it does need to BE SPECIFIC.  It can be an income value, it can be to lose weight, to get that six pack, whatever it is, you need to know exactly what it is and be committed to it.  As most of you are reading this because you want to make money online, it should be a dollar value.  Once you have locked your Target in - you must develop a game plan - a plan of attack,  a map to give you the most direct route to reach your destination.

This is the value of having a mentor, a coach an advisor,  someone who has been where you want to be, so they can guide you on the path to success.  Of course this information doesn’t always have to come through direct guidance as much of the information these days is available online, in books, magazines etc. . but really the most powerful way to learn and make the fastest progress is having someone coach you.

Having a network of people who want to join you on the journey can make a big difference as well.  - Get yourself a TARGET that inspires you and gets you excited in the morning!  and BE SPECIFIC!

3. FOLLOW THOUGH.

Probably the most important of the 3 prerequisites, as without this one, you’ll be wasting your time.  I think this is probably the biggest reason for not hitting the target.  Not taking action on the information and guidance provided.

We start enthusiastic, even taking action on everything (which in itself can be a problem:) , but then progressively laziness creep in, things become a little too difficult - it becomes too hard to make that phone call or send that email, because you don’t have the persons contact details right on hand - I mean its going to waste 5 minutes trying to search for that phone number on my computer or address book, I think i’ll just continue surfing the web and waste my time that way - I’m a lot more comfortable with that. . Target? what Target? . . . .

This happens to often when we let our focus fall to the menial or seemingly insignificant task before us rather than keep our eyes and mind on the prize.  Know your Target, Keep it alive in your mind.  BE COMMITTED TO FOLLOWING THROUGH on a proven path and you must Meet with Success!

Blogging Progress Report Thursday 8th January 2008

Posted on 08. Jan, 2009 by Derrick.

Hi All,

Had a busy day today.

Here are the goals I Kicked today:

TRAFFIC GENERATION

• Sketched out my 2 ideas to generate traffic. . to be implemented in the next two weeks - I’ll reveal these when they are ready to be launched
• Left comments on about 10 blogs - One thing I have to improve is to devise a better way to keep track of these other than ticking them off on two different sheets. . I’m finding its taking me about 10 - 20minutes per blog visit and comment, so end up spending about 1-2 hours doing this.
• Submitted my site to Alexa - by the way, I checked out my Alexa Ranking a couple a days ago, and was blown away by my ranking - I’m in the top 1 Million Sites Baby!
  

CREATING CONTENT

• Wrote my Jan Goals Blog Entry
• Wrote this Entry
• Wrote My Preview for 3 Software Programs
• Getting my New Blog Design Ideas together

RESEARCH & STUDY

One the major frustrations of building the blog, is that there are SOOO many things I want to get done - I have so many ideas, but at the moment am limited by time and assistants (ie I have none at the moment - so I need to look into how I can get some help
- Anyway one of the things I’ve spent 2-3 hours doing today is evaluating the value of some software that should save time, improve my blog standing and make money -  I’ve found three that look very useful:

• Directory Submitter - Free & Paid Version - Just submitted to 10 directories tonight
• Article Submitter - Free & Paid Version
• Ninja Affiliate - Paid Version Only - wordpress plugin to make affiliate management much easier

In my next post I’ll give a quick preview

Oh.  .yeah.  .and still no Moolah :). . (but that’s all according to plan - see my earlier post

Goals for Jan 2009

Posted on 07. Jan, 2009 by Derrick.

Hi All,

Its been a couple days since my last post and I know what you may all be thinking - I’m taking a holiday already or getting lazy:). unfortunately not taking a holiday just yet and definitely not lazy! :). Anyway, I’ve basically been doing a lot of research on driving traffic and thinking about how I want my blog to look like, so over the next few days I’ll be updating you on my traffic research as well as some more design changes as I make this page more user friendly

I’ve also decided to do a daily progress report at the end of each day to keep me honest :), and to summarise what’s I’ve been doing, plus show you the results of my labour. But first up, I thought It be a good idea to share with you my goals for the first month of 2009:

1. Income -

Actually make some money :). . yes. . I’ve been going for a little over a month now, and no cash has rolled in yet, but that’s ok. . I plan to start making some by next week - to be exact here is my income target breakdowns:

Total Month of January US$2500.00
Week Ending 18th Jan $500.00
Week Ending 25th Jan $750.00
Week Ending 1st Feb $1250.00

 

2. Traffic Goals

Overall Traffic Goal in January is to get 1000 Unique visits a day

Week Ending 11th - 100/day
Week Ending 18th - 200/day
Week Ending 25th - 400/day
Week Ending 1st Feb - 1000/day

 

3. List Building

Create a Mailing List of 1000 Subscribers

Week Ending 11th - 0
week Ending 18th - 100
Week Ending 25th - 300
Week Ending 1st Feb - 600

Here’s a nice summary in a colourful table cause I like to look at information presented beautifully

So there’s my goals for this month. I think they are achievable, but I think I’ll definitely have to put a lot of hard work to get those numbers. .

Luckily this morning in the shower - a great place to get divine intervention :). . I was struck with a couple of GREAT IDEAS which will come into effect starting next week. . so stay tuned for what they might be.

Would love to hear your thoughts on my goals - do you think they are realistic and achievable? based on where I am now - current website content, visits about 30-50/day, zero income) - feel free to leave a comment below

Ok, thats all from me for the moment, gotta get a crackalackin’ . . and get ready for a TV commercial audition. .wish me luck!
