The internet has evolved, changed. Our world of marketing online is constantly changing…..or is it?

Let’s break this down…….
Traffic methods, strategies, what works vs what used to work…..Google slaps, super secret, magic software.

Here’s the bottom line as I see it……….nothing has changed.

The trend as of recently is to launch product after product with massive hype, unrealistic claims and outright false, misleading advertising…..not much different than the snake oil salesmen of long ago. We are being fed more and more re-hashed material placed in a shiny new wrapper with a different name.

This is not to say that there isn’t some good content out there, only it is the SAME content freely available almost everywhere online. What is lacking is details on where to look, know what your looking for, and what to do with it when you find it.

I am going to spend a lot of time covering this in the coming weeks and months, right here on this site.

For today here is my brief summary of observations and research of the last year.

1. there’s NO magic button/software, whatever. stop looking for it, it does not exist. stop buying new software and programs that promise the moon….they don’t deliver.

2. traffic works the same way….. fresh,relevant content, carefully targeted keywords, on page seo, and quality, relevant backlinks……takes too much time?…out source it. this business DOES require work.

3. Get your own domain, hosting account and responder if you haven’t done this yet. Start collecting contact information and build a list of business partners, NOT customers……there is a difference.

4. pay attention to the world of marketing around you. You don’t need a monthly software subscription to see how money is being made, It is happening all around you and TO you.

Traffic is the life blood of any online venture.Whether it comes from PPC, organic search engine listings, or from a subscriber list, without traffic, your site simply does not exist.
In my years of marketing, I have learned a few things along the way.
One of them, how to build a traffic generating system that will rank your keywords high in the search engine listings and keep the traffic coming for a long time.

Oh Yeh, I forgot to add “at NO cost”

I have condensed this into a short 5 day e-mail course, with an extra special (free) added bonus on day five.

Again, this is no cost.
Go to “free traffic” put in your name and e-mail to get in.
p.s.
As a special thank you to all of my subscribers, I will soon be releasing a new e-book(you will receive for free) outlining a “no B.S.”
business model that will guarantee anyone can quickly build a scalable business for a very minimal cost.

Most likely this was planted in their heads by the massive amount of “get rich with Adwords overnight” crap that is circulating everywhere.

PayPerClick is difficult to learn and requires plenty of money
along the way to learn. First-time lottery players may get lucky and
win the jackpot just like beginners using AdWords could get lucky with just
the right keywords, just the right ad copy, and just the right bids.

So what about that “easy” way of making money I mentioned earlier?
Hands down, the lowest cost and quickest route to selling or
otherwise making money online is with your own website. Domains are
just $8.95 per year. A $7 to $10 per month hosting account will
allow you to host an unlimited number of domains. For just one
site, the cost can be just a few dollars.

So what’s the catch?

Even though an effective website only needs tables, text, and
pictures, the learning curve for such a simple site is quite steep.
Getting the site published to the host is another skill which must
be learned also. The good news is that anyone can do it. There is
nothing about it that the average person cannot learn with a few
weeks of work.

The truth is that if beginners had spent their time learning the
basics of web design instead of wasting their time on trying to
make money right off with some get-rich-quick idea, they would
already be well on the road to success.
But it is never too late!

Find a niche area you are interested in and start learning to build
a site around that niche theme. Be sure to teach yourself SEO along
the way. DO NOT build the site first and then decide to learn SEO
because your site gets little traffic. You’ll save a ton of time if
you do it right the first time!

The easiest way to get started is with a hosting account at Hostgator,
a free SEO blog wordpress software download from Jeff Johnson’s site and a domain name.

This gets you up and running in one day while you learn to build your own webpage.
