Internet marketing is not just about selling your own products on your own websites. There are hundreds of ways to make good money with internet marketing, but the question is: how do you think of them? How do you implement them? And how do you minimize time and money wasted, not to mention scam artists offers?
For those new to internet marketing, here are three great ideas for getting started.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is simply promoting someone else's product or service through your website, blog or article. You mention the product, provide a link to the product's website, and if someone makes a purchase after clicking on your link, you receive a commission. An even more lucrative strategy that will make you stand out from other affiliates is to offer a "bonus," such as an eBook of specific tips, if someone buys the product via your link.
Create Your Own Products
Create and sell your own products like eBooks or videos. This method is fairly cost-effective if you sell digital, not physical, products because you don't store or ship anything - everything is done online. You can promote your products in several ways such as via your website, other websites (have affiliate marketers work for you) or through SEO (Search Engine Optimized) articles posted on the internet.
Market Offline Businesses Online
Most offline businesses still don't understand the advantages of online marketing to increase sales. Having a snazzy-looking company website is not all it takes. Since this is an ongoing service, you can potentially make good money by servicing just a handful of good clients.
But even before you get started on internet marketing....
It is important to remember that a desperate mindset is not the way to succeed! As internet marketer James Schramko emphasizes, you make a lot of money by not focusing on money; focus instead on content and value and the belief that you can succeed.

- Think like an entrepreneur, not merely like a skilled worker. Delegate. Oversee. And take your business - and it is a business - seriously.
- Do the right things rather than do things right. Perfectionism can hold you back. Remember, you can always refine things later.
- You have to spend money to make money. This saying is a cliché for a reason! To succeed in business you must spend money on books, courses, domain names and promotion.
- Give as much as you need. Always offer the best service and the highest value to your clients or potential clients; it will come back to you tenfold.
- Find a mentor. Instead of stumbling around trying to figure things out for yourself, seek out a mentor and business coach. It doesn't have to cost a lot.
You Don't Have to Be Annoying to Start Your Own Internet Business
I Could Hardly Wait! Today was the day for Two Thousand Five Hundred dollarsof diet pills and powders to come to our home. My wife was on the phone telling me that the UPS truck had come to the house today and left plenty of boxes of our new Power Packed diet programs. The plan was to sell them myself, and get the funds rolling in my new business venture. Being at the house and putting everything together was now my goal. I would start my own program tomorrow and see some results then getting rid of my inventory and making a profit would happen quickly. I had so much fun putting it all in order and where ever I went I had my new weight loss kits with me. If I saw you and you looked friendly I started telling you how great this stuff was, and did just like my up-line said I should do. Along with doing that I lined up every body I knew for the same reason.
A Few Months Later...
I though about how everything had failed and would remind myself about how lousy I was as a salesman. My wife (God bless her) did not stoop to saying it, but her eyes and actions clearly told me, "I told you so." Let's just say that for the next two years we were not short on dietary supplements. Another thing that really had me stumped was thatonce I had gone through my warm market with no results, my up-line was gone. They were nowhere to be found. They were looking for fresh meat not an educated Network Marketer.
Then along came Magnetic Sponsoring with Mike saying that if he dumped a couple of tons of the best vitamins in front of my house (I think of it personally) and I still wouldn't make any money.
He has it right, doesn't he? What do you say we go over how things should have happened. Suppose I decide to contact someone in a company that markets the newest heath juice. I call the number I find and I am being told what is being sold but I am surprised by a question I didn't expect:
Rep: "My friend may I ask how it is that you learned about me and this company?
Me: "Not at all it was in a TV/magazine ad."
Rep: "Is there a particular kind of marketing you specialize in?
Me: "Why are you asking me about marketing?
Rep: "I just wanted to know where your at." The fact is that some do succeed by talking to their warm-market...i.e. friends and family. However it will not work this way for the majority of people. It is best to learn lead generation through smart marketing efforts, and have people hunting you down for more information."
Me: "I'm not sure what your getting at, leads? marketing?"
Rep: "I really do want to see you succeed in our business, and you most certainly are able to! But understanding that promoting the company can bring your business to a premature death.
Me: "How?"
Rep: "It was you curiosity about me and my company that had you looking for me. I didn't try to find you, you came to me. Do you think chances to make it would be better if centered on that same principle? What if you had people coming to you, inquiring about you and your company? Do you think that generating an income would follow?"
Me: "Yes I do."
Rep: "It's good that you see what I'm saying."It is not the company or the products you need to market it is You and your ability to Market. Your first order of business is to read Magnetic Sponsoring."
I would be curious to know just when I would have been making the money if I had only known about this in my 30's. It is so nice to market and promote correctly and my wife no longer wants to say. "I told you so."
