I have had people tell me “internet marketing is a sham” when really what they are saying is that they thought making money online would be easier and were disappointed when making money wasn’t easy for them. The information and knowledge of the basics of how to build an online income are widely available – there are no secrets but there are skills to be practiced and worked on. The rewards of mastering certain skills, such as list-building, are great – but the commitment to learn them is great

Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes I’ll preface this by saying that I’m not promoting this product, because I bought it and I did not find it useful to me. That doesn’t mean you won’t like it or shouldn’t buy it. What you get out of any program of this nature has a lot to do with your commitment to taking action and your own experience level. I would classify myself as a “seasoned” online marketer with mastery of many fundamental skills. A less experienced marketer than me might find this product meets their needs very well. The salesletter and positioning of the product seem to be working awfully hard to convince us that these “scripts” product automated traffic. They don’t. They simplify some minor marketing tasks like adding meta tags to blogger blogs and searching Yahoo answers for keywords. You might be dazzled by the spit and polish of how this program is promoted. Once you buy the upsell offer alone are dazzling in their quantity and pushiness. You’ll get many offers in your email for other products as well. I tested the banner rotator on this blog (http://malibumentor.com)… and all I ever saw it display was a banner for the Automated Traffic
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes You won’t ever get much out of life unless you can persuade other people to do stuff. You get a job by persuading somebody to hire you. You get a date by persuading somebody to go out with you. Children are natural persuaders. But as adults who want to make money on the internet you and I are in the persuasion trade – we need to persuade other people to part with their money. If you learn how to do it well the sky is the limit for your income. Better persuasion skills = more money.

Also the link must include “www.” Thus a valid link in Google’s gmail would be formatted thus: http://www.yourwebsite.com or (maybe) www.yourwebsite.com You’ll get not argument from me that www. is more attractive to the eye. In my experience using the http:// prefix results in clickable links more often than using www. alone. That said, the safest thing to do is probably to use both in most situations. Thus all links should be prefixed: “http://www.“ Remember, gmail is ignoring capitalizations and using capital letters in your urls will, I surmise, result in broken or unclickable links. If your actual URL includes capitals, write them in lowercase. You’ll have to test this one for yourself. Just a heads-up.

No, not the metal kind (even though they are kinda cool). I’m talking about online “shopping cart” and ecommerce systems. Which shopping cart system is the best? Well, it depends on how much expertise you have in web development and what your business model is. If you know a lot about web development or have the money to pay somebody who does, you can have many shopping cart solutions adapted to your business. Most folks I reckon will want to skip the time or expense of customizing an existing shopping cart and integrating it with their existing web businesses.
