When I Passed Phrase #1, My Internet Business Starts Generating Income

I started marketing online 3 years ago.

When I first started out, I have the same mentality as most innocent newbies – "Finally, I can reach millions of people to buy my product. I'll be rich. Just $10 from 100,000 people will make me a million dollar."

Then I started reading ebooks and was told the secrets of mailing to a list. If I can reach millions of people through email, I will make millions.

It's always millions – either it's millions of traffic, subscribers or dollars.

To be honest, I can't care less of what's an internet business at that time. I just want to make money online as fast as I can. And since I've been reading so many ebooks that say it's possible, I'm all set.

You know the rest of the story. I didn't get millions of visitors or subscriber. I didn't make millions of dollars that time.

THAT'S THE FIRST PHASE OF REALITY WE'LL GONE THROUGH AT THE FIRST TIME WE WERE INTRODUCT TO INTERNET OPPORTUNITY. And that's fine.

Perception and reality.

I mean, you've probably been pitched before to buy a resale rights products. The marketer will tell you that you'll be rich because there is no competition! There are 3,245,999 people searching on this topic on the internet so you will not be competing with other resellers. Sure, right.

Perception – You can sell to millions of people online without competition.

Reality – You probably won't reach millions of people and you'll have heck of a competition if you're a newbie. Well, there are only 10 places at Google.com's first page, right? So if you're somehow listed #6 or whatsoever, your competitors are on the same page too. And if you're selling for $27 and he's giving the product away for free, touch luck for you.

There's nothing wrong to be in phrase #1. Don't tell me you never thought of the 'million dream'. Millions of this, millions of that.

Then you'll be hit with the truth that phrase #1 dream will NEVER come true for you. You've been lied by the courses that give you that perception. It did came true for some people but they're not newbies or new to this internet marketing game. So now, you're aware of what's going on – living in reality.

If you're 'awake', you'll be making money online soon because you'll start to discover what works and have practical expectations.

The PROBLEM IS, MOST PEOPLE STILL WANT TO LIVE IN DENIAL OF REALITY. Maybe because it's fun. Who knows.

They still want to sell a million copy of their ebook. They still want to get millions of visitors on the internet by pressing a button. They still want to hold tight to their believe that they don't need to do anything and money will start coming into their bank account if they buy another 'turnkey' business or 'business-in-a-box'.

That IS the problem. And if you refuse to let go Phrase #1 and you're my subscriber, please unsubscribe right now. You're wasting your time – and mine trying to help you.

Positive thinking and being practical are not the same. If you want to be a 'positive thinker' and ask me to take a hike because you believe you can sell a million copy of an ebook online, be my guest. I'm not going to stop you to pursue your dream. I don't gain anything whether you fail or success.

Fact is, phrase #1 might become a reality if you're already on top of your game.

If you can let go of that, then here's the basic thing you need to know about making money online:

You need traffic. So you better get good on it. Next thing about traffic is conversion. How to convert the visitors into income. THAT'S IT. Why in the world are we making that more complex than ever?

My recommendations for traffic source include search engines, viral marketing, pay per clicks, own affiliate program, joint ventures and social sites because these are those I'm using with result.

For conversion, learn about direct response marketing, site designs, images and most important, copywriting. You'll survive by just mastering copywriting. Serious.

If it's too hard for you to have or create your own product to sell, just promote others to earn commission. This is call affiliate program and there are thousands for you to choose from at www.clickbank.com, www.paydotcom.com, www.cj.com, www.linkshare.com, www.shareasale.com, www.affiliate-program.amazon.com, www.pepperjamnetwork.com/ and a lot more out there.

Also, don't forgot to soak your brain with knowledge about building a profitable internet business, not just thinking of how to make money online.

You see, once we have bypass Phrase #1, it's easier than you think to make money online because you know what are possible now and also, what kind of knowledge you're be looking for. Noises will be filtered. Most don't want to 'let go' because they don't want to accept the fact that they need to work on it. Come on, if there's no work, your neighbors and your milkman will be doing this too.

In closing, don't waste your time in Phrase #1 if you're a newbie. The quicker you get out from it, the faster you'll see income coming your way.
