Each day on the forums I visit, I see so many new people jumping into Internet Marketing or try and start their own Internet home business and they just don’t know where to start. They get utterly discouraged when they think making money online should be a piece of cake – after all – just read a few threads in some online forums and you begin to believe you can just set up a website and the money will start flowing. Well, nothing could be further from the truth.

The harsh reality is that the people making money online are the same people making money in the offline world.
They’re the ones working hard every day, taking time to master their craft and skills and network with other like-minded people. It takes time – you have to give yourself a chance to let your business grow along with your skills.

For those absolute online marketing newbies that just want to see some money coming in now – do me a favor and just do this for the next 3 days. I promise you will not regret it.

1. Sit down at your computer.
2. Think about the niche you’re marketing in and start to gather some ideas on articles you could write that would be HELPFUL to someone – yes – make your articles helpful and informative.
3. Once you have 3-5 nice little articles – 400 words or so – that’s only half a page of writing… this post alone has close to 500 words. Create an account on www.AssociatedContent.com
4. Submit your articles under an Exclusive Agreement. Yes, Exclusive Agreement – it pays more – once you have a few articles under your belt – switch to non-exclusive so you can use your articles to build back-links to your site for additional promotion. For now, just make a few dollars – paid directly to your PayPal account – you need to see some money coming in to stay motivated.

Helpful hint:
When submitting your article – go to www.sxc.hu and download some free stock images – include an image with your article – it makes it look much more professional.

That’s it – practically foolproof – money making activity.

Won’t make you rich – but it will make you money – anywhere from $4.00 to $20.00 per article.

Write ten REALLY good articles a week and you might make close to $200/week.
Not too bad for someone just starting out trying to make their first few dollars online.

Want to see proof that this absolutely works – here are a few samples of my recent AssociatedContent.com articles:

My Content Producer Page – AssociatedContent.com

That’s about all.

Now I’ve really only given you the bare basics here – I am assuming you already know a bit about Internet/affiliate marketing, etc.

If I have glossed over something a little too quickly, send me an email and I’ll try and answer your specific questions.

I’ll post a more detailed article later.

For now, this will suffice.

Seeing as how the weather here in So. Cal. today is just about perfect, I’ll make this quick so I can get from out behind the computer and start to enjoy some of this nice weather.

Well, a little of this message is your typical… 2009 is set to be a great year for us in the Internet Marketing arena, blah blah blah…

But make no mistake… I’m working on some great enhancements with many of my sites and working on refocusing a lot of my efforts on some very exciting and brand new products for you.

I’ll be consolidating many of my sites in 2009 to a single site – a one-stop-shop full of unbelievable content – PLR products, MRR products, scripts, templates, success checklists, and TONS of free stuff.

As always they’ll be packed with my commitment to helping us all learn more ways to generate extra money online and offline.  And with the current outlook of world economies, I think we’ll need some extra $$.

What is that single site????

Well it’s http://30DaySuccessFormula.com of course.

It’s a little light on content right now as I port everything over from other sites, but this is a site you’ll definitely want to bookmark because following no particular publishing schedule, I’ll be publishing content and posting links to some great free stuff.

To get notifications of updates before everyone else does – you’ll want to follow me on Twitter:  And if you’re not using Twitter – USE IT

http://twitter.com/YourInternetBiz

I’ve decided to add another aspect to the site and will be deviating a bit from the typical Internet Marketing realm.

The three main themes the site will primarily be focusing on in regard to making extra money and building lasting wealth are:

1. A whole new series of quick-start guides and checklists for Internet Marketing “newbies” and IM novices. No more of just publishing long, hard to digest 40 page eBooks. These new checklists and start-up guides will be super concise, brief and easy to follow. Do this, now do this, click here, fill this in, etc. I’m really excited about these and I’m almost finished with them… you’ll be able to look over my shoulders as we build true wealth together.
2. Secondly, as I learn new tips and tricks, I’ll be passing these along for even the professional marketers out there – after all – no one person can know everything. Sharing these little tidbits and advanced marketing techniques are the only way we all can stay on top of the latest marketing themes that generate “real” income each and every month.
3. Lastly, because my background and second passion is really investing, whether real estate or equities (stocks), etc. I’ve decided to slowly add some investment related content into the site.

The reason I’ve decided to do this is simple – our goal is to generate “real” wealth either for ourselves, our family, or perhaps for charity, and to keep that wealth long term generation after generation.

Well, there is no better way to start building wealth early than to invest properly and to begin to develop a new success mindset. Regardless of the current economy, the world is not going to fall apart any time soon. We’re still going to wake up tomorrow, go to work, and try to put food on the table for our families any way we can. Times like these are an opportunity, not a curse….

For example, do you know how to invest in a “guaranteed” U.S. Government Bond that pays 15%?

Or perhaps how to buy gold for pennies on the ounce?

I pledge to make my site (no… our site) http://30DaySuccessFormula.com a shining example of how to truly build multiple and diversified streams of income both online and offline.

Here is to a truly successful 2009 and I wish you all the absolute warmest regards and hope you continue to stay in touch throughout the year.

Here is a quick gift – compliments of Google:

It’s Google’s new Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide:

You can download it here:

http://30DaySuccessFormula.com/freestuff/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf

Well, I think that’s it for now – I guess this wasn’t so “quick” – but I had a lot to cover

Now get to work on your own blogs and start making some real money.

P.S. – here is the “real” “secret” success formula to making money online:

1. Find a niche you’re interested in where people are willing to spend money.
2. Set up a key-word-rich domain and open a hosting account.
3. Set up a free Wordpress Blog on that domain.
4. Find affiliate products and free content/articles from Clickbank.com, CJ.com, etc. or create your own content for maximum profits.
5. Post blog reviews about the products.
6. Build organic or paid traffic to your blog.
7. Convert that traffic to sell affiliate products and receive commissions.
8. Reinvest profit into more content.
9. RINSE, REPEAT

It REALLY IS that simple.

What I just gave you above is one of the most successful online business models you can find.

It has created millionaire after millionaire….

==========================================

As a home business owner and Internet Marketer, to say I spend numerous hours reading online forums would be a gross understatement.

There is more value than you can imagine in online forums, whether it’s a forum on CNBC or a local forum created by weekend warriors in your home town.

While spending a little time on a new forum I’ve been reading, someone asked me…. What have I learned the most while on this forum…..

My answer was an immediate no-brainer.

Besides learning just how much coffee one needs to consume to stay awake at all hours of the night reading all the great posts from people all over the world, I would say the things I learn while reading forum posts are immeasurable.  They’re of infinite importance to my success in making money in my own Internet Home Business.

The diverse nature of most forums help broaden my own knowledge base and help elevate my skills to new levels.  In addition, I end up learning a great deal about myself. I learn what my strengths are and more importantly I learn what my weaknesses are.  If you own your own Internet Home Business, or just want to someday create your own Home Internet Business, knowing your weaknesses is of paramount importance.  By knowing my weaknesses, I can make an informed decision to either build those skills so I can do things for myself, or I can simply choose to outsource those tasks to someone who does possess the necessary skills.  And where do I typically find those people I outsource to? Well on forums about the same topics, of course.

Are you starting to see how much value you can start to pull from taking a little time to open your mind to a new set of stimuli?

In answer to the original question and per the subject line of this article, I would have to say the “SINGLE” most important thing in “Building a Can’t Lose Wall of Success Around You” is by surrounding yourself with like-minded, success-oriented, and genuine people who are willing to help and who are receptive to your own suggestions.

This by far is one of the most important aspects of achieving success there is. You want to surround yourself with people who are heading in the direction you want to go or who have already made it there.

It’s that simple. It really is.

Find a group of people who are already successful in doing what you want to do and simply learn from them and do what they do.  If that group doesn’t exist, then start your own and help others grow with you.

Just remember that nothing happens overnight. Real and honest success takes time but if there is another thing I’ve learned in my hours upon hours in forums, it the following;

You only fail once you give up.

If you’re interests lie in learning how to make money in your Internet-based Home Business, then you may want to look at just the type of forum I talk about above.

It’s called “IM Simple” – Internet Marketing Made Simple.

Take a few minutes now and read through some of the posts.

You just may find the perfect home business for you.

Did you know you can create a “profit-generating” home-based Internet Business for less than $49.00 and be up and running in under 30 minutes?  In fact, in some cases, I can even show you how to create a “profit-generating” home-based Internet Business for ABSOLUTELY ZERO upfront investment and be up and running in less than 15 minutes…. but I think I’m getting ahead of myself…..

My point is…, I hope to offer my readers tremendous value and insight in these pages and I hope in return, you’ll post your own comments and insights into your own on-line home-based business ventures. I hope to learn just as much from all of you as we stroll along the very profitable Internet Marketing and Affiliate Marketing path.

Imagine a “job” where you could wake up around 8:00am each morning to the smell of fresh brewed coffee (assuming, of course, you have an automatic coffee maker – or a very kind wife or husband), and stroll out of bed in no particular rush.  You then proceed to read a bit of the morning paper over coffee or perhaps read the financial news on screen at www.cnbc.com.  It’s about 9am now and it’s about time for a bit of exercise so you take a morning run with the dog.  You get back, shower and change into some comfortable clothes.  It’s about 10:30-11:00 now.  Time to get some work done.

So you sit down in front of your computer screen on your desk in your home office, and begin writing.  You write for a couple hours, check emails, make a few phone calls to check on your affiliate partners, and then it’s time for a break.  You take a long lunch, maybe sit by the pool, log onto one of your websites and check the stats and then back into your home office for about another hour of writing.

Makes for a pretty nice day I’d say.

If someone were to ask me to describe the perfect job, that is surely the answer I would give them.  A “job” where you can write from anywhere, anytime you want all the while building your home-based Internet affiliate marketing business.

And that, my dear friends is why I love this business and why I will continue writing about it and helping others to enjoy the same freedoms mentioned above in their own home-based business.
