You know I’m setting here and just looking around at everything on my dual monitors and the internet and I come to the realization the web is loaded with money which I always have known that and have made some good profitable days, but the problem is the people that don’t make money on the web is because they don’t take up the opportunities.

I see people all the time that set around and cry about not making any money on the internet. I mean for crying out aloud you got people making 200k plus a month from affiliates like it ain’t no thing and this is something I’m moving more into is ppc and affiliates the reason being is because I’m fed up with organic search to be honest and I’d be damned if I’m going to let Google run my sites, so in other words I’ll continue doing what I do on organic search.

You know I have ranked some of the most competitive keywords out there printing, website design, and you name it I’ve done it, but one year ago I never imagined I would be doing any of that, but I knew it could be done, but what did it take to learn to develop them skills to do that well honestly I worked night and day for probably 13-15 hours a day for a whole year straight and now I could turn around and replicate all the things I’ve learned last year into 100 affiliate sites this year I mean its that simple and I could do it 100 times faster with 100 times less time because I already know what it takes to get the job done, so in other words thats a trade ;).

So can any one do what they want to do in my honest opinion I highly believe so, and another thing is don’t let no one hold you back on your ideas or say you have bad ideas because I’ve been told that a lot of times or I have even been told well thats them not you, but what happen I followed what I believed and it worked!

So don’t be a wimp and put your mind into what you want to accomplish and don’t give in because there is millions to be made on the web, but the thing is can you actually set back and put a shit load of time into what your doing to get to that point if not then you mells well forget about living the entrepreneur live believe in your self, your product, or whatever your trying to do and watch the reality come true the thing is when you work at something hard enough it starts to make sense and comes together thats just how it works.

For example if you have the mindset of making millions its a very good possibility that you will hit that level, but the thing is a lot of people don’t think like that they think well if I can make this much this month that will be ok and right there is where your going wrong before you can become big you have to believe big you might not see a clear picture at first, but after so long of thinking in that direction you’ll notice you’ll start heading in that direction.

Maybe this don’t work for every one, but it sure does work for me to be honest with you.

Also check this post out called Making Money Over Night Jeremy wrote it about making money on the web this would be a prime example of what I’m referring to above maybe not exactly the same, but Jeremy does get into the part about are you willing to keep doing what your doing over, over again until you find out what works well I wouldn’t say over, and over again, but mainly keep trying and see what results you get then replicate them.

You know thats exactly how I figured organic search out I started experimenting with my own sites I mean literally night and day of working and sometimes I felt like I was getting no where, but all sudden things just started to move and work out its kind of hard to explain what I’m saying it was just like a repeat process that I did and I developed new strategies that worked and kept replicating them and thats what I was referring to earlier I could literally replicate the same strategies that I’ve used on organic search and put it up ageist 100 affiliate websites and I could do it pretty fast, but then again I had to put a lot of time into what I was doing to get to that level….

You know one day I created major buzz on digital point and before I know it my phone was ringing off the hook people telling me joe blow recommended you because you hit the top 3 for website design in 5 1/2 months and then even Jim Boykin was sending me his clients when they got backed up, so I knew I was doing something right, but you know what now this year I’m going to step in the affiliate game and make super affiliate cash :).

You know I’m setting here and just read a comment on someones blog post that was directed to me and I highly doubt the guy even knows what hes talking about some people just think your going to go out and make a million dollars over night which yes its possible to make a shit load of money over night (excuse my language), but before that actually takes place you have to put your time in specially if you’ve never experienced with it before.

For example when I first got into the SEO scene I use to always wonder how people were getting there rankings it just dazzled me, but then I got to thinking about it if they can do it why can’t I well as I started working I found out what was making it work or I should say what was making the keywords rank.

After I discovered what worked I replicated it over, over, and over again then I discovered this was simple and before I knew it my phone started ringing off the hook, but did this happen over night no not really to be honest with you I just really started finding out what worked here in the last 4-5 months when I say work I mean literally work we had one client we put into the top 3 for printing.

I’ve had clients think it was impossible to rank certain keywords because it was such a competitive market, but I proved them wrong and I developed these strategies over time not over night, but now that I developed the strategies I can build online business 10 times quicker then what I use to because I got the resources and etc to do what I want to do.

So quite honestly to be successful on the web you need to put your time and find out what works for you the thing is with the internet if you work at it hard enough you can literally make millions I believe that there is room for any one to grow on the web. Now if you was running a small local business or a small company that had nothing to do with the web it would be a lot harder to grow specially in smaller towns unless you was someone that was really innovative and had a good idea something that would come into use into a market, but the thing is with the internet is that you really don’t have to have a bunch of money to start anything maybe a little bit.

Which don’t take me wrong money helps a lot, but the thing is with the web like I was stated its about a lot of knowledge, so in other words more knowledge the better. Also knowledge will help you move onto them levels that will give you money to grow faster, but before you start investing your money your going to have to know what works and what don’t works you just don’t want to be someone that just jumps into the game and start blowing money out the wall unless you are someone thats got the cash to do it, but anyone with the right head on there shoulders will do research before they invest, but either way i guess would work because sometimes you have to invest money to see if you get ROI back from it.

Anyways back to what I was saying just find out what works then replicate it and once you find out what works if you can invest money into that area to make it move faster then start heading that direction, but keep in mind don’t always put your eggs in one basket discover multiple souces for online income because the internet constay changes, so don’t get too comfortable with one area just keep your head up strong and enjoy the fast life of the web, but at the same time make lots of money.

Ok I wouldn’t say this is the key to success, but networking with people can expand your business a lot, let me say this again *a lot* the reason being is because the more people that know about you the better. I mean would you want a brand that hides in the closet all the time and no one knows about it well believe it or not thats how some brands are, so therefore I guess we wouldn’t consider them a brand.

You know I can be self opinionated sometimes, but for some odd reason I see a lot of start ups or people trying to get up in the game, but they have no exposure such as exposing there name and this is vitally important. You need somewhere to expose your brand and sometimes the best way to do that is by virally building social networks.

The idea behind networking is to create the networks whether its through word of mouth, advertising, or whatever you can get to work for you. The best method of all is to create a viral market something that will create buzz and keep people talking about you if you ask me personally I don’t think there is any better way because when you have brand exposure you can price your services the way you prefer to price them the reason being is because strong brands out beat closet brands when I say closet brands I’m referring to brands that people are not aware of or heard of.

Take a look at the list of ways you can create these networks.

1. Blogs: If you have the time create a blog this will create more brand exposure. Blogs take time, but are well wroth the time and effort thats for sure.
2. Advertising: Advertising can create brand awareness to which granted it takes money, but its worth it thats for damn sure.
3. E-Mail Marketing: E-marketing can be effective, but it takes a lot don’t expect to send out 10 e-mails and get a reply expect to send out 1000’s of e-mails like I said it takes a lot.
4. Pay Per Click: Run a PPC campaign and offer good service and get people to talk about it this will build social networks.
5. Attend Trade Shows: If you are welcomed or can speak at at trade show do it this creates major brand exposure.

The idea is to combine everything you got and give it everything you got most generally this will create social networks for example if people start seeing your ads every where or they hear about the things you have done then it will start shaking and creating buzz and thats the idea.

The more buzz the better…

Building content takes time, but there is things you can do to make it work better or I should say to make it more effective. The content should be something that comes out and grabs people’s minds, so in other words think virally. Anyways read on and I’ll give you some tips on how to create a viral website that will grab your users.

Viral Title: Try to use a viral title if at all possible, use titles that will grab peoples attention. For example read the titles below and maybe this will give you an idea of what I’m talking about.

• 101 Ways to Have Better Sex
• The Secrets to Link Baiting
• 101 ways to get rich

The titles above were just 3 examples, honestly its up for you to decide on what you should write. And keep in mind some of your titles will work and some will not work you just have to test and see what works and what doesn’t work then when you start to find out what works drive your mind into that direction.

Detailed Post: Sometimes detailed post can help which don’t take me wrong I’ve see very short post become link bait, but most generally these post will have pictures or videos that are very creative.

Images: Use images in your post that matches your content. You can find great images from places like Flickr, Google Images, and etc, but I would recommend Flickr because they’re images are open to the public to use. Google on the other hand is probably showing a lot of images that are not open to the public so your best off creating your own or using flickr.

Learning Guides: Craft up some nice online guides for people to read, these can become very effective if its viral enough you could probably promote it through PPC (Pay-Per-Click) or whatever you feel comfortable with. The best thing to do honestly is to write up a large guide of some sort then advertise it on other peoples websites or promote it through social networks just find out what channels are working for you and then take advantage of it.

Persistency: I’d have to say this is the key factor, and thats staying persistence. Being persistence is what it takes to build a link worthy website, so in other words it takes time. Staying and being persistence is the most challenging part of building a viral content website the reason being is because its very easy to get burned out specially when you don’t or haven’t gotten the results you wanted yet and sometimes you might feel like your working for nothing, but your not your just actually building your content up and getting the website laid out and testing to see whats working.

If your goal is to build an online business through viral content then your up for a challenge, but keep in mind the results can be astonishing. When I say the results can be astonishing that is no joke they can be, but can you actually handle working night and day for days at a time with out getting any results in your beginning stages, ask your self that.

If you can do that and understand it takes time to get things on the roll or I should say takes time before you actually start to find things that work then your ready to go, but if not then I would suggest you go work for someone else to be quite honest because building a business through viral content takes a lot of effort, motivation, and etc.

So in other words give it all you got, and that right there is the main secret to building a online business through viral content!

Building buzz in the web sphere can make small brands look big, or grow a small brand into a large brand if done effectively. The reason I say small brands can hit growth at a faster rate is because most generally high quality brands are built through image, buzz marketing, and etc.

Lets say a blog for example you ever notice some of the biggest blogs on the web grow through buzz marketing in other words creating shake in the web world so the popularity of that blog increases, and popularity around a brand can be effective if leveraged right.

I think every one has talked about the hotmail that literally exploited over night, not really, but with then a few months hot mail grew from nothing to millions of users with then a quickness, but how did this happen?

Simple hotmail successfully launched there product as a free e-mailing service, but at the same time they had there name plugged into every one e-mails at the bottom pretty much a signature that they inserted into all out going e-mail, so therefore every one else would see this and then they would decide to sign up.

Thats just an example of word of mouth marketing, viral marketing, buzz marketing or whatever you want to consider it, but honestly its considered a more of a viral market approach then anything because it grew so fast, but at the same time it created a word of mouth market to because it grew so fast, so it basically just kept growing.

Then you have some ideas that just literally grow from planting a seed somewhere when I refer to planting a seed I’m referring to something that someone might do such as writing an article up then out of the middle of no where it hits Diggs home page and is mentioned on numerous news sites and gets 1000’s of links which will result in higher search engine rankings; therefore, this results in more traffic, buzz, and etc.

The idea though honestly behind viral marketing is to test, test, and test and see what works not everything will work off the get go, but as you keep approaching and keeping your mind into a viral marketing approach things will start to come together thats just how it works to be honest with you there is some things I thought would never work and other people have thought my ideas were crazy at certain times, but I really didn’t care what others had to say I put the idea into place and its grew like a tree on steroids which I won’t get into what I did :).

You know I might not be the best designer by any means that for sure actually I don’t even use photoshop I use to play around with it a lot when I was younger, but now I don’t have time and were actually doing some hiring for our company mainly just contractors, so in other words in house positions for the time being.

The thing is designs they must be high quality the reason being is because this is how you can alter your consumers heads. Your probably wondering how would I do that well for example you ever looked at something and your thinking to your self that is just out right cool I love the way it looks well thats the same thing for your business you have to make it look like your happening.

We have had a lot of people call us and give us credit on our website and tell us they don’t know what it is, but they love the look which granted I don’t think it looks the best as it should I’m shooting for something more web 2.0 looking, but at the same time corporate looking because we want to continue attract high quality consumers.

If you want your business to come out and bite at people keep this in mind when getting your website designed, I mean think of it would you want your website looking average or would you want it looking beatified where people just look at it and say wow and that right there is the idea you have to hook people in through out different directions and leverage them, so when your getting a site designed or designing a site give that some thought.

Making money on the web is simple, specially when it comes to millions. The thing is a lot of people give up before they even get there, put it this way if you was to start a small business in your local town chances are it would take 10 times longer to get it going, but with the web you really don’t have to invest money to get started like you would starting a business out on the street.

When starting a local business it can be a complicated task because you need money to rent a building and etc, but with the web you can start a blog or start networking with people from the convenience of your own home (you just need a computer). I don’t know I just find it a lot more easier and less complexed starting a online business Vs a local business which granted you might have to learn a lot more such as in trades on the web maybe programming, online marketing, designing websites and etc, but reguardless nothing can out beat your trades you can develop on the web.

Another great thing about the web is you’ll find your self networking with some of the biggest millionaires out there unlike you would in your local town and plus a lot of well knowns search marketers including my self have blogs and you can learn from these blogs. I mean think about it where can you go to find information in your local town to start a business maybe grab some information off the web or something, but when working on the web you develop techniques that no one could teach you if you ask me to be honest with you.

Now if your thinking how do I make money on the web thats cool I use to wonder the same thing when I first started in this industry, but now I am doing 10 times as much as I use to our company is growing non stop and I see the potential to be huge and I’m only 23 years old which I come from a very business background all my family runs there own business my fathers best friend is a multi millionaire that runs a fortune 500 company well he sold it, but anyways back to what I’m saying if your wanting to make money on the web develop a niche that will work your going to need a seed in your business somewhere to leverage other services into profits.

Get into the community there is nothing else better you could do, joining communities and meeting other people is a hell of a learning experience. If it wasn’t for some of the people I’ve met on the web in the pass year I probably wouldn’t still be in business to be honest, but our growth has went up majory in these pass 6 months were still small, but were growing for the most part and for some odd reason I feel like 2008 is going to blow up.

Another important role would be to subscribe to blogs as many as you can don’t get caught up on the popular blogs which there all great blogs and you will learn a lot from very popular SEO’s, but keep in mind don’t get caught up with everything you read so in other words use your own judgment some things might work better for you then what they will for other people for example someone could be dishing something and saying it don’t work, but the same technique is is making you over 1k plus a day in profit, so use your judgment and focus on what works for you.

The idea behind reading other peoples blogs is creating ideas and watching what goes on out there, but honestly if you ask me marketing is about momentum, leverage, and branding. I mean with momentum you create the channels that your traffic comes through then you leverage it into sales, other services, other areas of your business, and etc.

Branding on the other hand is something you will want to do to create a strong business model, you want to build a strong name in the web space. When you have a very well established brand most generally you can charge what you want because people much whether pay you to take care of things because they know you’ll take care of them and honestly thats another important thing about building a strong brand is to give results to your clients when your giving results to your clients your building there loyalty up.

There is nothing better a business can have then customer loyalty someone that always comes back no matter whats going on, but this is something you have to build with then your inner brand just produce quality services and it will come together and make sure you keep tight communications with your people this will really help.

Generating leads on the web today is easier then every if you ask me the reason being is because so many people are searching now days. I mean the market zone is pratically held by Google, Yahoo, MSN and other major search engines which of course Big Daddy Google has gotten them all beat on market share of course.

If your someone on the web trying to generate more leads there is things you should keep in mind. If you take a look below I listed some fine points you must take into consideration.

1. Design and Usability: Make sure your website has a unique design don’t use something thats pre-built, use a customized design that will fit into your market place. When your customizing something your leading your direction so in other words your rilling your consumers in the way they need to be rilled in and giving them what they want at the same time, so the effects of this would be considered a positive market being built up.
2. Landing pages: Make sure your landing pages are designed for users, also don’t get too carried away with forms that people have to fill out alls you need is maybe there phone number, description, and e-mail adders. I mean what else do you need just try to keep it simple and don’t go to far out on them.
3. Brand Awareness: Try to create landing pages built around your brand. For example if you have a popular brand or your brand has been successful in a lot of areas through out the web or in general markets make sure you list this through out your content zones of your website.
4. Think About your Market and Your User:  When your getting a website built, or your building a website define your markets and define your users. This would almost fall back under the category of structuring your company for your certain market place. Just try to keep market and users into mind when designing for a lead generation page.

Conclusion
There is several factors to keep in mind, but the main idea is to design your website for your vertical market. You need to define who you are or I should say what your brand is about such as characteristics and motive of your brand. See the idea behind it is almost like bringing something alive, but your bringing a name alive into a market zone so its almost like a real living organ that will fit into a certain market.

There is several ways of making money online and the best thing the internet can be used for is 24/7 income. Some people define there every day living of working hard, and some people define there working as putting a bunch of effort into something for a long time before they actually start getting paid and maybe even longer so they can create passive incomes.

Generally when someone creates a passive income they work very hard to create that channel, but the results can be astonishing. I mean think of it wouldn’t you like to make money to do nothing, I mean who wouldn’t. The thing is a lot of people really don’t have the desire or won’t put the effort into creating a passive income model and it can be done very easily.

I was actually explaining today to someone in my family about a passive income VS working every day hourly and I don’t think they really understood where I was coming from, but yet they want a better paying job, but its like they don’t understand you have to work really hard before you start to get results and then once you start getting results you can leverage it into a more of passive income business model.

When I stated the internet is great for a passive income, the reason being is because a lot of things online is already being generated some how or another take for example affiliate marketing this can be a very powerful way to make money online and a lot of people have been successful at it, but if you really focus in a lot of these people that are into the affiliate game have put years of time into what they do to get wealthy or to make a great living, so in other words it don’t happen over night just keep your focus and keep moving forward and focus on what works for you, and this is the same thing I do

Marketing online or anywhere in general is something that can be tricky at times. I know it makes my head feel like its spinning in 5 different directions sometimes its like I have multiple paths in my head that are spinning, but anyways the thing is when marketing online you must be able to leverage not everything is not going to go your way.

There is multiple ways to leverage and build momentum, but this is up to you and you need to find these patterns and you’ll find out some things work better then others. For example take a look below at some of the things that you can use as tools for your strategy.

• Blogs: You can use blogs to leverage your brand and gain more traffic. For some people it might work, and for others it might not work.
• Search Marketing with Link Building: This should work for every one, build links and gain traffic you can leverage this into sales of course and build your client list up with it.
• Forums: Most generally you need some type of momentum to build a forum such as leverage from other areas, but once you get a forum going you can leverage the community into multiple directions.
• PPC (Pay Per Click) Marketing: You can even use PPC to leverage your brand and create sales.

There is tons of ways to leverage your brand, and you will find out that you’ll be changing things around all the time to see what works and what don’t work, but thats the fun part, but keep in mind to always focus on whats working. Not everything is going to work it might work at one time or another, but maybe its not working at the moment its really hard to explain on what I’m trying to express.

Just keep in mind to leverage, leverage, and leverage. Always keep the momentum going in different direction and trying new things thats why a lot of online business fail because they don’t leverage there self into other areas or try new things changes are always good, you know were in the top 10 for website design and getting ready to hit many other competitive key phrases and believe me sometimes i think to my self how many times did I fail before I got there or learned what worked, but I had to remind my self marketing is leverage things will constantly change and things will constantly grow as long as I keep our company going in whatever direction that work if not I will fail and we will be out of business.
