Build One Good Site First

When I started out, none of this stuff made any sense to me.  One one hand, people were claiming to make huge amounts of money in internet marketing.  On the other, the steps it seemed to take were numerous and illusory.  Every guru out there had their angle on how to do it and they rarely agreed with each other.  That is, unless they were promoting each other.  That seemed to be the ONLY time any of the information seemed to come from the same mouth.

Search  Engine Traffic Free?

One of the first pieces of advice I was given when I started out online was to set up a blog. Why? Because it would allow me to build an online presence while I learned. I could improve my blog as my knowledge improved.

Besides, search engine traffic is free, right? I mean, you don’t have to pay Google, Yahoo, MSN or any other pay per click marketing firm to get traffic to your site.

That last paragraph may be the reason so many online marketers fail. They don’t look close enough at the real cost of search engine traffic. They try to do everything themselves and end up investing untold hours of their time that they are led to believe has no value.

I’m here to tell you if you don’t put a dollar value on your time, you will never succeed online.

I found a post from Jonathan Leger titled “The Advantages Of Internet Marketing” that I need to share with you today. With all the dismal talk about the world economy, one can’t help but ask themselves “Can I weather these economic times?” Jonathan makes an excellent case for the affirmative here.

Let me summarize the reasons he believes internet marketing is a great profession to be at exactly these times.

Can you really do it all?

Why do internet marketers work their butts off only to feel like they’ve accomplished nothing?

Here are some insights:

• Our society places a high value on doing whatever needs to be done
• Those that can’t do everything are seen as deficient or weak
• Our media paints pictures of successful entrepreneurs being hard-core workaholics
• Entrepreneurs can be too self-sufficient which also fosters suspicion of outsiders

In short, we are conditioned from a young age that we can’t always do things that we like. Unfortunately, doing the things we like and excel at is key to success in business and life.

I just read a fascinating report by Scott Boulch called “The Internet Marketing Cure.”

In it, he talks about what a piece of crap internet marketing has become and he blames the current crop of Gurus. He says we’ve got to stop taking advice and buying stuff from people who produce nothing more than sales letters and start adding real value to people’s lives.

In short, we’ve got to quit listening to Gurus and start acting like the DoRus.

What the hell is a DoRu, you ask?

A DoRu is a person that quietly sits in the shadows behind the scenes actually creating massive abundance by “Doing the Doing” while the so-called Gurus talk about doing it!

Hmm…imagine that. Building a successful business by actually creating something of value? Does that sound like anything you’ve heard lately from one of the $2000.00 seminar speakers? Didn’t think so.

And that’s just scratching the surface of this report.

Go grab your free download of “The Internet Marketing Cure” while it’s still available and start concentrating on doing something and NOT talking about doing something.

Best,
