The Internet Marketer's Lifestyle
By Terry Dean
It's not the money. It's the
lifestyle.
That's right. It isn't the
money that motivates many people to turn to a home based business or to
start their own Internet business.
Sure the money is good...very
good.
The lifestyle is better.
It provides you with a freedom
that you could never have with a 9 to 5 job. When you work for someone
else, they tell you:
- When to get up and come
to work
- Where you can live (it isn't
practical to live 100 miles away)
- How often you can vacation
- How much you can earn each
year
When you work in your own online
business, you are in charge of those things.
You decide when you want to
work. One of my online associates chooses to work around midnight to 6
(I think he's crazy personally). I choose to work early.
You choose where you want to
live. If you want to live out in the country fine. If you want to live
on the beach, that's OK. If you want to live in Australia, then that's
perfect for an Internet business. It's up to you.
You choose the vacation times
you want. Some people prefer to take several weeks off at a time while
others take weekend vacations almost every week.
As an Internet business, you
are not limited to a specific income level. If you learn how to automate
and outsource some of the work, you can build any level of income you
want.
We made a decision this month.
We moved from a town of 35,000 people out to a smaller town a little further
out with less than 1,000 people. We actually didn't move too far (only
about 15 miles or 20 minutes) and we are keeping our address at the Post
Office in Richmond.
The difference is in the environment.
We had neighbors around 35 feet from our house on both sides in Richmond.
Now, you can only see one house
off in the distance. The closest neighbor is a cow named "Oscar"
who hangs out close to our fence (it is the neighbor's cow, not ours).
My two dogs have a good old time barking at it tryingto get it to play
with them.
For myself, this is the perfect
environment. It is quiet and peaceful so I can work on writing (which
is what I enjoy most in the business). My wife loves horses so we may
purchase a couple of horses here in the future.
The point is that it is up
to us.
The whole time we have been
moving out here our automatic Internet machine kept right on working.
We have been so busy it is
hard to imagine, but sales kept coming in. There are boxes piled everywhere,
but my Internet sites just kept bringing in the orders.
It's been hectic answering
the email and shipping out the orders, but they have all been done on
time (and it only takes a few hours to do them).
There are periods of time where
I only work a couple hours a day (now is one of them because of the moving)
and other times I choose to work 12-hour days when setting up a new project.
Yes, I said "work."
This is a business and it will require youto work if you want to succeed.
The key is that you choose what work level you want and you can automate
much of the rest.
The orders we are currently
receiving have been occurring even though I have spent ZERO promotion
time the past couple of weeks. I just haven’t had time to do any
marketing, but money keeps coming in.
For our business, the two best
auto-pilot order producingtechniques currently taking place are:
1. Articles and Free eBooks
These are our primary viral
marketing methods. There are dozens upon dozens of articles available
in our free article section at: http://www.bizpromo.com/free
I have promoted the fact widely
that any ezine publisher or web site can use them for content as long
as they keep my contact information in tact at the bottom of each article.
So, guess what...They do publish
them. I have thousands of links to my site through these articles being
published all over the web. Every week we have a barrage of additional
traffic as another large ezine publishes one of them.
It is a win-win situation for
both of us. My site receives additional traffic and sales while the publisher
(web site or ezine) has additional content to provide to their audience.
Submitting articles to ezines
and large content web sites is one of the best free advertising methods
still available on thenet (forget posting FFA Links and free classified
ads).
Do you have any free content
out there working for you?
2. Affiliates
The second strategy we have
built is our affiliate program. I haven't had time to promote myself,
but my affiliate members have kept right on promoting.
They can become an almost automatic
stream of income for your product (I say almost because it is essential
that you spend time supporting them).
There really is no excuse for
you to not have your own affiliate program if you are in control of your
own product.
Affiliate software costs $200
or less.
If you hate technology and
don't even want to touch it, then there are also numerous companies that
you can use to do the affiliate tracking for you:
http://www.befree.com
http://www.linkshare.com
http://www.cj.com
http://www.clicktrade.com
http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com
http://www.affiliatetracking.com
http://www.clickbank.com
It takes a little work to build
up your affiliate network and to train them how to sell your program,
but it is more than worth it. Once they have been setup and trained, they
can constantly and consistently produce sales for you in years to come.
Pay high commissions. Your
affiliates are producing sales for you that you would have never had.
It is almost like receiving free money. Who cares if you have to pay them
$50 to get $40 free money in your pocket.
Having an affiliate program
firmly established in place will help you to get to the place where you
can have the kind of Internet lifestyle you choose.
