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 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 trying to 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 you to 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 producing techniques 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 the net (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 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. Terry Dean, a 5 year veteran of
