You know-- sometimes my Sunday Emails can be harshed. Cuts through like a ninja's blade. But come on, they're my rants. If I want to keep everyone happy and write about the colorful rainbow, birds chirping, flowers blooming, etc then I should just opens up a nursery home and take care of children.

So if you can relate to what I wrote when reading it-- good because I know it had just served the purpose of helping people.

One more thing-- it'll offend marketers. I hope you're not the one.

Two Different World But Perceived As The Same

There are two types of internet marketers, no right or wrong.

The first one is those who teach you how be like them-- selling internet marketing products to internet marketers. Let's call a marketer by the name of A without addressing to anyone in particular. Here's an example--

He makes money by selling a course teaching someone how to make money online. Then after learning from that course, that someone will sell ANOTHER internet marketing course to another person and it's an endless loop. It doesn't matter whether A or that someone actually understant internet marketing or not. It's not important because the fact is, money's being generated.

Here's a common example – An 'internet marketer' buys a bunch of resale rights products and bundle them for $7 a package. He'll make money by selling it because the package has become 'irresistible'. But is that REALLY internet marketing?

Is there a problem with this way of making money online? Of course not. They ARE making money online so it's 'internet marketing'. But if you learn that kind of methods, you'll have a hard time trying to sell your product online unless you're doing the same stuff. It's because, these 'internet marketers' only are able to generate income as long as they have their lists and a network of joint venture partners. Remove these 2 elements and they're out of the game. Real internet marketers can make money in any niche markets because they use strategies.

No wonder a lot of newbies are getting confused with internet marketing because everyone is now 'qualified' to teach internet marketing.

You see, the tactics may not be always applicable. Like, the Adwords tactic of using the course's name as keyword to bid. It'll work for internet marketing courses but if you're doing this same tactic for an ebook called, 'How To Train Your Puppy A Week", chances are, no one search for that at all. But I could be wrong. So try it out yourself.

On top of that, there could be some misleading information leaking out when it comes to testimonials. Say A teaches B how to make money online. So now B creates another course teaching others how to make money online. And A helps to promote it to A's list because B's his customer. Dude. There are no cutting edge strategies here. But if A helped B to build an online business in a niche market where his strategies are applied (not promotion) to generate income, hat's off to A.

At the same, do you know HOW SMALL is this market when there are so many people trying to get a piece of the action?

It's pretty obvious that I'll still sell courses that teach how to become internet marketers by teaching others how to make money online because it's so darn lucrative. I'm not asking you not to. I'm just ranting what is going on.

Then there's another type of marketer that teach people how to make money online -- by using real techniques.

Doesn't matter whether it's selling ink cartridges online or an ebook teaching people how to stop divorce.

I would prefer to create and sell programs like these because I know my clients will achieve success easier and they'll be able to continue making money each month. This is using strategies – not because of short term '2-dollar sale' or one-time Joint Venture promotion.

Like when I have a new discovery that I'm using for myself, I'll see how I can offer that to the market as well. Like, I've started creating web 2.0 content sites in niche markets to build a solid long-term business. That's how Niche Marketing 2.0 ™ System was created and now, 200 clients have prior to this technology and concept. This system will allow the owners to create an internet business that can attract free traffic from the search engines and generate 10 fold income.

You can still own the system by using this special link, www.nichemarketing2.com/earlybirds.html. Only 10 system ownerships left.

The "Secret" To Autopilot Income?

As far as I can remember, I've read that Aweber has 30,000 paid subscribers. If each pays a minimum of $19.95 a month, that's $598,500 sales revenue a month. Half a million like clockwork.

Clickbank.com last year's revenue was $300 million.

If you ask me, that's a lot of money.

Most people are still stuck with the mindset of writing another 'internet marketing course' to sell online. I think it's common you'll hear an idea of how a newbie wants to create an internet marketing course for newbies because he honestly thinks that the market needs that. And you know what - whoever who teaches this newbie will say it's a good idea because the marketer doesn't wants to crush his dream. I mean, who wants to be the bad guy?

Why would a newbie wants to buy from a newbie when he can buy newbie internet marketing courses from successful internet marketers like Mike Filsaime, Yanik Silver, Jim Edwards, Shawn Casey, Ewen Chia, Stephen Pierce, Armand Morin, Jo Han Mok, Adam Ginsberg, Matt Bacak, Bryan Kumar, Frank Kern, David Vallierres, Tom Hua, Allen Says, Ed Dale and a loooong list to go.

I'm sure there's a valid reason. My point? Why bother to achieve success with obstacles when there are so many opportunities out there that do not have such big challenges. Like going into a niche market with no gurus around. Or setting up an eBay Store selling some gizmos that people at eBay.com want.

Going back to Aweber and Clickbank. What do you see them in common?

They provide service. Call it membership if you want to, but I'll call them 'services' because they don't need to offer new content or product each month.

Solid business. To say the least, I'm amazed. Smart marketers are doing these right now. If you look carefully, these are the same marketers who use to sell ebooks or courses but they have now 'upgrade' themselves. Smart move. The guy who's still teaching and doing the old internet marketing stuff, better do something.

Let's say a marketer makes $50,000 on autopilot with a service.

Do you know many copies of an ebook you got to sell each month to make that same amount on clockwork?

For a $50 ebook, you got to sell 1,000 copies. As of today, I don't have a friend who sells 1,000 copies of an ebook each month without fail.

So instead of thinking of writing another ebook that the market probably don't need it anyway, why not think of what service you can offer to the market and build a long term business? And you're definitely not limited to internet marketing niche.

Of course it's easier said than done. But hey, who say you cannot do this?

For instance, Traffic Geyser is an excellent example of this concept. By the way, if you do submit videos to YouTube.com and so on, I highly recommend you to signup this useful service now by clicking here. Wait. if you're not submitting any videos, I URGE YOU TO START DOING THAT because it's a new source of free traffic.

If you have been reading the "Sunday Email" series, I'll always ask for your favor to leave a Comment if you find value of what you've read. It'll be most appreciated because I read all of them personally. (smile)

And yeah, sometimes it upsets the reader because the truth can be... hurtful.
