Yesterday we talked about the overload of information you experience when looking for ways to make money online. Today, lets talk about the different levels of making money online. In my opinion there are three levels of online marketing. I have heard this mentioned as the three levels of traffic. When it comes right down to it, that is what your online presence is all about. Traffic!
Level one is that area associated with "get rich quick" offers. You have seen them. The ones that tell you that you will never have to lift a finger. Just input this code on your website and sit back. Let the money roll in. Or the ones that pitch a perfect add. Place it once using their software and they will do all the work. All you have to do is get rich. Maybe it's the one that guarantees that you will make $5000 TODAY! Well, sorry. It is all garbage. I am sure someone will dispute this. And, I am equally sure that someone got lucky and made a ton of money in one day. But was it sustainable?
Level two is where you should target your efforts. In level two you are going to be expected to put in some time. Make some effort. You will probably have to spend some money. Let me explain. At this level of trying to make money online, you will have to find your product or niche. You will need to establish an online presence. You will have to get traffic to your presence. To do all of this, it is going to cost you time and effort. Not just in setting up your site or sites, but, in learning how, making mistakes, making corrections, finding better ways. Taking time to take training courses, reading, watching videos and corresponding with others for help. As for spending money, well, you get what you pay for. The best sites are going to offer upgrades from free. No you don't have to upgrade but as you start to have some success you are going to want to upgrade, right? Great training cost money as does getting loads of traffic. So, in addition to finding a lot of ways to do things for free you are going to also want to invest a little in your business. I'm not talking large sums of money but $25, $50 even a $100 here and there.
But rest assured, the effort, time and money will pay off. That brings us to the third level of online marketing or traffic. This is the top of the heap. This is where you become the teacher instead of the student. This is where the "experts" exist. But here is the cool thing about being the expert. You start to uncover even better ways to market and gain traffic. Why? Because you have trained yourself to look for new and better ways. And you have learned that change is good. You have learned the by sharing with others and teaching what you know; you unlock new ideas.
So, you see, this is not retirement with a get rich system. This is work. But the kind of work you can enjoy and have fun with. And, it will provide for what ever your dream is. Oh, by the way, your dreams will change from what they are now.
Keep pushing forward.
