The Internet Money Blog

Wanna save $63,728.00? Then do as I say … not as I do!!

A review from the trenches that’ll get you to the good stuff without having to wade through knee-deep piles of crap, and wasting thousands in the process!

Making money on the internet is the easiest thing to do … or so all the online Guru’s tell me. So, I go to seminars, read a lot of how-to guides, buy so many courses I can’t even count how many. And the only thing I got, was more confused than when I started.

Why is it that every “making money on the internet” guru has all the “secrets” and is willing to “spill the beans” to only a few who respond within the next 30 minutes?

Why would any person who had the “secret” to amassing a fortune on the internet be willing to tell thousands and tens of thousands of complete strangers how to replicate their system to putting truckloads of money in their pockets … and risk losing the ability to continue to put money in their pockets due to the competition that’s gonna be created by letting in only a few (30 million or so) of their closest friends?

After spending thousands of dollars and ending up with such a huge collection of “shelf decorations,” that I had to rent a U-Haul to lug all that crap to the dump! That was quite an expensive dump run!

Listen, I’m not saying that ALL the information products that I purchased over the years were worthless. To the contrary, there were several that were quite good … actually, they’re quite exceptional.

Remember when I asked why anybody in their right mind would sell or give away the secret they used to make lots of money? Well, there is a method to their madness … and this is my theory:

1. They know that 98% of all the people that purchase their courses and products will do absolutely nothing with it!
2. They know that if they “accidently omit” certain elements of their “secret process” which will keep us from realizing the same results that they get.

   This way they can continue doing business as usual because they really aren’t giving away the farm here…they’re just giving us enough information to make us “think” that we’ve got the whole kit and kaboodle … you know, a little taste. (Now, I’m not sayin’ they all do this, but some definitely do! And remember, I wasted thousands on bogus crap!)

3. They know that they can make ungodly amounts of money by selling this stuff to us…heck, they’re probably makin’ more money selling the stuff than they are doin’ it!!

So how do you know which course or product is the real deal?   That’s a great question!

And here’s the answer …

You don’t … until you buy the darned thing! Wanna know how I know about so many different home study courses, ebooks, DVD tutorials, and audio programs? Simple. I bought ‘em all!

You know the old saying “a fool and his money are soon parted”? That’s me! 

Anyway, I’m gonna give you guys all the good stuff without having to wade through knee-deep piles of crap, and throwing your hard-earned money away like a drunken sailor staggerin’ around in a cathouse!

There are hundreds of courses that make B-I-G promises and only a small handful that really do. I’m gonna be recommending several home study courses that are in my opinion, the best of the best, when it comes to making money on the internet.

But first, let me break down the entire process of internet marketing (making money on the internet) into manageable sections and provide you with the appropriate resource that’ll guide you to setting up and completing the action steps required to making money on the internet.

1.   Market research-you gotta find a group of people that have a burning desire to solve a common problem, that they as a group are having. Next you’ve got to identify what that problem is. Then you’ve got to find the solution to that problem. Make sure that your solution addresses the following criteria: Fast, Easy, Low cost, and delivered in simple to understand language.

2.  Product type-once you find the solution to the problem, you’ve got to decide on how you’re gonna get that solution to your customer. (in my experience, the best way is by creating, or have someone create an ebook that will be digitally delivered via email or website download page, to your group instantly after receiving payment.) This method is fully automated and free to deliver. Tip: PLR-Private Label Rights products are the best way to go-for further explanation on PLR, just go to my post on the subject.

3.  Opt in page-also known as a squeeze page is required to collect all of the names and email addresses of people that are responding to your advertising-we’ll get to what kind of advertising shortly.

4.  Free report page-this is the incentive you will use to get someone to “opt-in” by giving you their name and email address. The report will be a teaser to the product you are really selling. You need to have a “hook” in order to get someone to give you their info, and a free report is a great way to do just that!

5.  Autoresponders-an autoresponder is an email response system that automatically sends pre-written emails to your group right after they “opt-in” at pre-determined intervals and also redirects the customer to your sales page.

6.  Salesletter-A.K.A. your sales page. After your customer “opts-in” the autoresponder sends them a confirmation email that tells them to click on the link to confirm that they really want the special report. Once they confirm, the autoresponder then redirects them to the report download page which can also double as your salesletter. Anyway, the salesletter is one of the most important elements to your success in making money on the internet.

7.  Virtual agent pop up-this is a pop-up page the customer sees if they decide not to make the purchase and clicked away from your salespage. Before they actually leave your salesletter, this pop-up engages and lets the customer know that if they order right now, they’ll get a big discount.

8.  Order page-this is the page that your customer sees after reading your salesletter and makes the decision to buy what you are selling.

9.  OTO-this stands for One Time Offer, and it is used as an upsell. In other words, as long as the customer has their wallet open, they’re more apt to buy more if you ask them to. It’s a proven fact that when someone already made the decision to make a purchase, they remain in the buying mode for several minutes … you’ve got to ask for more of their money by offering them something else that is of more perceived value than the item they just purchased. By doing so, you’ve increased your income tremendously!

10.  Virtual agent pop up-this is a pop-up page the customer sees if they decide not to make the purchase and clicked away from your OTO. Before they actually leave your OTO, this pop-up engages and lets the customer know that if they order right now, they’ll get a big discount.

11.  OTO# 2-This is the second One Time Offer. Again, make sure you’re offering something of greater value than the original product and the first OTO. Remember, the more you ask for the more you’ll get!

12.  Virtual agent pop up-this is a pop-up page the customer sees if they decide not to make the purchase and clicked away from your OTO. Before they actually leave your OTO, this pop-up engages and lets the customer know that if they order right now, they’ll get a big discount.

13.  OTO #3-same as the second OTO. This should be the final OTO that you’ll want to have because any more than this your customer may get frustrated. After all, they’re trying to complete the order, and any more than three of these may begin to harass the customer.

14.  Virtual agent pop up-this is a pop-up page the customer sees if they decide not to make the purchase and clicked away from your OTO. Before they actually leave your OTO, this pop-up engages and lets the customer know that if they order right now, they’ll get a big discount. Again, this must be included on all of your OTOs. But please, no more than three OTOs and popups.

15.  Thank you page-this is the page your customer is directed to after they have completed the order. On this page you’ll also include a link to another product you are selling or to an affiliate partner. More on affiliates shortly.

16.  Autoresponder sequence-the final piece of your marketing system will be the follow up emails to everyone that purchases your product. This is different to the emails you are sending to the people that opt-in to get your free report. All of your emails should include links to other products or affiliate links.

Are you beginning to see how these different pieces of the marketing system flow from one element to the other? It’s pretty simple when you see it laid out like this, isn’t it?

Ok, so now let’s get on with the resources that I promised you. Bear in mind that there are 100’s of courses out there, and while I’ve bought most of ‘em, there are a few that I consider “worth every damned penny!”

DISCLOSURE: Do you see this big red disclosure warning?? (ok it’s really in black and white!)

I gotta make sure everyone sees this, especially folks like me-I wear soda bottles for glasses.

This is what the disclosure is all about … because I have been through tons of materials both good and bad, mostly bad.

I am making the following recommendations based upon my own experiences and therefore I am a little biased because these products have made my life a lot better by cutting out all the useless crap and providing the valuable information delivered to me in an easy to understand format that was also easy to implement with the insider secrets that provided the short cuts that actually work!

This in turn saved me countless weeks of tail chasing (What I mean by that is, chasing my own tail around like I was caught up in some kinda circle-jerk!) and sleepless nights by guiding me step-by-step until I was able to complete my first project in less than 30 days!

So, with that being said, I am endorsing these resources for the following two (2) reasons:

1. Their extreme value, simple to understand…even for me, easy to use, excellent support, and laid out in a step-by-step format that pretty much makes it idiot-proof!

2. Since I’m an affiliate of these resources, I’m gonna make a small bit of money when you invest in any of the products. (this is known as affiliate marketing-you’ll discover more about affiliate marketing if you “opt-in” to our newsletter which is located on the right side of this page.)

Listen, I’ve spent over $63,728.00 on…what I found out after making the purchases… was a lot of crap! And since I’m giving you the opportunity to avoid the H-U-G-E mistakes that I made, and pointing you directly to the resources that’ll have you up and running in as little as 30 days…would you really begrudge me the few pennies commission I’ll make as an affiliate?

Incidentally, after you invest in these products, you too can sign up as an affiliate…for free!

Hey…because I believe in giving each review plenty of space so I can express my true feelings about the individual product, I will be doing a separate post for each product review.

So, please check out the individual posts and don’t forget to leave comments about the products because I really want to know what you think of them, as well as any successes you experienced by utilizing the information you found here!

Now go check out the other posts under categories then under reviews, and I hope you’re having a great day!
Warm regards
