How Do You Plan to Get There

The world of internet marketing
might seem like a giant 'maze' to you...
I know it does to me.
Take all of the emails I get..each and everyday.

So far, today, I've received emails for:

1. Micro Continuity (x 5)
2. Free Traffic System
3. Underground Training Lab
4. SitePal (for a "Virtual Employee")
5. Longtail Articles
6. Instant Lead Magnet
7. (3) Separate survey requests (non-paying)
8. A couple of 'up-grade' offers on free website submission sites.
9. A video from Travis Sago on Clickbank Links
10. Four or five emails from people/sites I've never heard of.

And...this is in just one of my email accounts (I have 7.)

It's enough to overwhelm anyone.
Most of the emails are
real lessons in sales letters. They all
seem like the 'next best' thing!
And...almost all of them cost money!

In my plan to get through the 'maze' of opportunities
(and confusion)
the first step I am taking is
'unsubscribe'!

I can't afford to be distracted,
derailed,
or tempted in any way.

But...
I won't unsubscribe to everything!

I'll continue to receive those emails for programs
that I am most interested in...
'One Week Marketing'
'Niche A Day'
'Bum Marketing'

anything that falls into the plans I have
mapped out
to get through the maze
as quickly as possible.

So, how do you plan to get there?
I'd be interested to hear
what others are doing to muffle
the 'noise' from all of the
opportunities you receive.

I like to run visuals every so often...
just reading things can get a bit boring and
I don't want to be 'accused' of "being boring"...even if I am..a bit!
Anyway...I ran across this
"how-to" video
and found it to be somewhat entertaining...
as well as...informative...

One Week Marketing Review

I first 'mentioned' One Week Marketing back in December. Basically, this program is a 'how-to' on bum marketing. This means writing articles, blogs, Squidoo lenses, and promoting other people's products for little or no money out of pocket.

The 'One Week Marketing' program was written by PotPieGirl, also known as Jennifer Ledbetter. Not your typical guru in that, once you buy One Week Marketing (for what I consider a very low cost of $47), she doesn't 'hit' you up to buy anything extra.

I can't tell you how many programs, including the 'freebies', hook you up with their 'opt-ins' and literally FLOOD your email inbox with new offers, joint ventures and pushing the products of all of their 'guru' friends. Most of these programs charge you 'such and such' for their program and then, low and behold, you find out you need additional products that cost even more money, or you have to sign up for a program in which you will incur a monthly fee. Often you don't even find this out until after you've parted with your hard earned money.

What I like most about One Week Marketing ... once you own the course, you have all you need to know to begin making money online immediately. You have no additional products to buy. But wait! There are a few costs that you will want to consider. Web hosting and buying is a domain name…it isn't required, and I've run across a number of free sites that have hit page 1 of Google in their niche, so it really is up to you which way you want to go.

One Week Marketing takes your work week and breaks it down into days. Each day has an action plan with a given task for each day.

Once you've completed day 7, you will have created a targeted campaign that will be up on the internet and generate money for you 24/7.

After the first week, you move on to the second week and start the process over again. PotPieGirl's techniques are straight-forward, easy to understand, and easily duplicated from one niche to the next.

I think this is one of the easiest to learn and most honest programs currently available and I am confident that once you see this program you will will not only love it but, see the potential for making money straight away. If you are looking for something simple, free website traffic, a step-by-step and day-by-day plan, you have found it. If you want to pay one time only and not incur monthly fees, this is the best program I have found.

I really like PotPieGirl's concept behind One Week Marketing, the one time only cost of the program. It is perfect for the beginner just starting out because of the low cost and the easy to follow step by step plan.

If you still aren't 'sold' that One Week Marketing is for you, go ahead and get the first 18 pages free to see if it’s something you want to know more about.
The course contains 5 PDF’s and one notepad file.

* One Week Marketing Guide Book #1 - Days 1 - 7 explanation
* A Conversation With Nick - Nick was her guinea pig. He made 3 sales in his first week.
* One Week Action Plan
* One Week Marketing Mind Maps
* One Week Marketing Checklists

and you'll learn a bit more about her. If you are looking for a way to make money online, it really is hard to go wrong with this course.

Eight months ago

I started this blog with the idea in mind that I would find out how to make money online without spending any money.
That was over 8 months ago!

What have I learned in the past 8 months?
Yes, you can make money online without spending money but, if you are learning from all of the 'bits and pieces' of free information available...it may take a lot longer.

Do I have screenshots of big money 'paydays' to show you?....Not exactly....but, I decided that I would "come clean" and show that I am making some money online. Most of it is from my online shops but, I'm also earning money from the articles I write and from my affiliate marketing.



I've been making money from my online shops since 2004, so I have that "down". It might have been easier and happened faster if I had known there were "how-to" books available but, I was such an internet 'novice' that I ended up teaching myself and learned the 'hard' way, by trial and error.

Looking back over the past 8 months, I will admit now that I wished I had spent money a bit sooner on just a few of the programs I will be sharing over the next few weeks.
I don't get any program that costs too much...I don't have that much to spare. But, these are the programs that have helped me turn things around in recent weeks and months...and I would have begun making money much sooner with my affiliate and bum marketing had I started out with them

Step 5 -- Rinse and repeat

Step 5...Repeat steps 1 through 4! --- With a brand new Niche!

Go back to Step 1....do all of the 'searches' again...find a niche that appeals to you and has high interest/ low competition and repeat steps 1 through 4 all OVER again.

Keep doing this and you'll find....some are winners...some not so much..........but, overall..the odds are in your favor that you will begin to earn an income...online.

Step 4 -- Build a List

Step 4...Start building a list.

Here are a few methods you might try in order to start building your lists.

1. Scatter a number of subscription boxes throughout your website and/ or blogsite. Believe it or not, it's very easy to 'overlook' a subscription box if you only have one available, unless it is BIG and BOLD.

2.Offer a really good bonus or gift...for FREE! Just make sure your 'freebie' has something to do with your site(s). For example, don't offer an ebook on "How To Make Money Online" if your sites are about 'Growing Prize Winning Chickens'.

3. Pop up windows is another way a lot of marketers are building their lists. Personally...they annoy me and I have never signed up through a pop up. But, maybe I'm in a minority, so I thought I'd, at least, mention this one.

4. Send your articles to a landing page that has an opt-in, to collect emails of interested subscribers.

5. Purchase a list. Here again, quite a few marketers do purchase lists....I for one, want to be sure my customers WANT my emails...so I do NOT use this method. But...I wanted to offer it as a suggestion.
