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.

So how many loyal customers does it actually take to generate that all illusive $100K in online sales per year?

Now before I get a bunch of emails saying, “Well I sell a product that costs roughly $500 dollars so I obviously won’t need as many customers to generate that $100K per year.”

If only it were that easy…

All things being relatively equal, the item price really doesn’t matter a whole lot.

Now, of course you need to sell a whole lot more $19.00 dollar products (about 5263 actually) to generate $100K in revenue versus a $500 or $1000 dollar product.

But my guess is you’ll find a whole lot more customers for that $19 product than say for that $500 dollar product – but hey – just approximating here for conversation’s sake…

What matters most are the typical conversion rates – meaning…

What is the rate of conversion between people visiting your website and the number of people who actually purchase something from you?

So back to my original statement about that magic number…

So what exactly is a loyal customer?

Well, for my business, I classify a loyal customer as anyone who routinely visits my site, subscribes to my content, reads my articles and blog posts, downloads my free content when available and generally simply remains interested in what I have to say.

So that is how I define a loyal customer. To me, a customer does not necessarily have to be a paying customer. They just have to have subscribed to any of my content lists.

So finally…

What is that magic number – how many loyal customers do you need to generate roughly $100K per year in online revenue?

Well, ask any Internet Marketer out there what the magic number is and they’ll likely give you a very similar answer.

You need about 1,000 local customers or subscribers tuning in each week to hear what you have to say and to read about your latest product offerings.

So let that act as a gauge if you will on where you may stand in regard to making that illustrious $100K annual revenue level in online sales.

Want to learn more about increasing your Internet presence and really start separating yourself from the “crowd” and take yourself from “Market Understanding” to real “Market Leadership“, as Ed Dale would say, then pop over to the 30 Day Challenge + Site and join Ed before he takes this month’s content down.

Ed Dale is a first class Internet Marketer and I highly recommend you listen in on some of his free podcasts. You’ll decrease your learning curve by many months and many $ thousand’s of dollars.

Do you have a different magic number?

I’d love to hear what it is.

…. Until next time

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….

Let’s get right to it…..

This will be a short one – after all, this is a “no-brainer” and I’ve been using this site for years to drive free traffic to my websites.

We’ve all heard of link-exchanges and all those sorts of things.

Well, there is one website in particular that I have been using for years and it has paid me 100X my investment (after all – it’s FREE).

Nothing could be simpler….
