The most frequently asked Questions:
Asking questions is normal and I don’t mind helping other people out. I
have put together a list of the top questions I get with my answers…it
can be hard on the typing fingers writing the same thing over and over! If you have any
further questions, you can contact me here.
Q: What is Internet Marketing?
A: Internet marketing is the process of selling a
product online and earning a commission when doing so. At the most raw
form, Internet marketing involves using the Internet to deliver a
product to an audience looking for something. In most cases, people
perform a search in a Search Engine like Google.com. An Internet
marketer can then deliver content in the search results to these people
and help them find what they are looking for. If a purchase is made
through a link that you own, a commission is earned. The free getting
started course offered on this website will teach you exactly how to get
started for free!
Q: Can anyone make money on the Internet?
A: Yes, yes, YES! Can you tell I am excited. The reason
for this is that I know you have what it takes to succeed online. You
don’t have to be technical, you don’t need a marketing degree, and you
don’t know to be all that smart (you are likely smarter than some of the
most successful marketers online). Think about this…
If you spent as much time as you did in your day job working on your
Internet business, you would be wildly successful! If you are willing
to work hard and set a few goals for yourself, you will be surprised as
to what you can achieve online.
Q: I don’t have any product to sell. Is that OK?
A: I don’t own any products either. Instead I work as an affiliate marketer.
As an “affiliate marketer” you promote other people’s products and
services in exchange for a kick-back in commissions. When you earn a
sale for the company, you earn money. These companies give you special
“affiliate links” that track your visitors and automatically give you a
commission if your visitor buys something.
There are affiliate networks like Clickbank out there that pay 75% on
most of the products, so if you sell something that is $40, you get a
$30 cut. Pretty cool right?
There are 10,000’s of affiliate programs out there in every imaginable
industry. There are even affiliate programs for selling rocks!
Affiliate commissions add up very quickly when you understand that you
only need to get 4-5 customers out of a billion people online each day
to buy something through your link. If an average sale is around $35,
you can see that without a ton of work you will be making $175
extra/day..30 days per month.
The reason I recommend training services like Wealthy Affiliate is
that they give you access to all these affiliate programs and train you
exactly how to promote them. Having the right training will truly JUMP
START your path to success. They show you techniques how to access well
over 100,000 programs online…you can essentially promote anything you
want as an affiliate. I promote music because I love music and am really
interested in it. You can do the same with whatever you are interested
it.
Q: Can you guarantee that I will be successful? If not, what can I do to improve my chances?
A: No, I cannot guarantee anything. It is like me
saying, can I guarantee you will work hard at something. Unfortunately I
can’t, but what I can tell you is that if you work at this and treat it
like a business, you will become successful. People do fail all the
time within the business world and it is though who continue pushing
forward after failure that are successful.
The Internet has opened doors for everyone. You have the same
opportunity as me, and we all have the same opportunity as larger
companies out there. Everyone is on an even playing field and there has
never been a better time to start. Average people like you and I can
make $10,000’s every month without even having a product that we own!
Q: I need help setting up a website, can you help?
A: Setting up your own website gives you a piece of the
Internet and a platform to extend your reach as an Internet marketer.
You DO NOT need a website as explained in the MAD Marketing course. With
that said, you may want to take your Internet game to the next level
and get your own website. You have two options that I suggest.
1 – Join WealthyAffiliate and get Hosting included for FREE (and you get a pre-built website)
2 – Sign-up to HostGator and have them host your site.
Hostgator.com is slightly cheaper than Wealthy Affiliate however you get
many other tools, services, and not to mention personal coaching if you
join WA.
Q: Clickbank does not accept people from my country…are there any alternatives?
A: That is fine. There are some countries that
Clickbank does not allow and they have their own reasons for this. But
there is good news…there are 1,000’s of other affiliate programs that
you can promote that WILL accept your country. Here are some of the top
affiliate networks online. Try these:
cj.com
shareasale.com
linkshare.com
performics.com
paydotcom.com
pepperjam.com
You can also do a targeted search in Google for affiliate programs. Type
in “industry + affiliate program”. Replace industry with the type of
programs you are looking for…for example, this could be “dieting +
affiliate programs”. You will get lots of results this way as well.
Q: Who am I, and why should you listen to a word I say?
A: I have people asking me everyday about myself.
I am just like you, I have no fancy Internet marketing degrees and no
special technical skills. I was able to become an Internet marketer due
to hard work and focusing on learning from others who are more
experienced than me!
