But I my hope is to not to just pay you once. I want you to be earning commissions consistently! That’s the difference between having some extra spending cash and experiencing a complete lifestyle change.

When I say lifestyle change, it can even be a few hundred dollars a month. How much would your life change if you knew you would start making just $300 extra each month?

The odds are most online marketers are losing out on a ton of cash by not building the foundation of your business first. Making some cash online is great, but knowing it will come in each and every month is just pure bliss.

Here is how to prevent the cash from leaking out of your pockets before you ever get a chance to see it:

1. Commit – You can’t swim with just your toes in the water. Make the commitment to succeed with internet marketing and dive into the pool. This doesn’t mean to make rash decisions like quitting your day job or spending your life savings. Mentally, you must commit. If you are not committed to success, the odds are you’ll never experience it.

2. Invest In Yourself – Are you willing to skip your favorite tv show to read about money making tactics, traffic generation, list building, or learning basic HTML? Can you dedicate some of your leisure time now to create a lifetime of freedom later? Are you willing to skip out on going out to a pricey dinner or the movies once in a while, so you can pay for that website hosting or autoresponder service that has the potential to pay you back 100x more? Stop throwing away your resources, invest it and make it grow.

3. Discover – Take action and discover what it’s like to be in the trenches. You’ve been educating yourself, now it’s time to test your skills and discover what you have learned. You’re going to see small successes and lots failures. Learn from your mistakes and the experience of others, and continue onward.

Follow those steps and stop losing out on the cash you could be making.

Helpful sites for steps 2 and 3:

• Plug-and-Play Money Getting System
• Free Autopilot Empire Report
• Free One Time Offer Script
• Effortless, Viral Traffic

However, I would like you to be aware that owning your own website has its own set of costs and responsibilities.

Here’s a list of just some of the stuff you have to think about as a website owner:

1. hosting
2. graphics
3. advertising
4. paying commissions
5. customer support
6. programming
7. and plenty more

And after all of that, you might not even be making a profit! If you pay attention, you may notice that for every site with thousands or tens of thousands of members, you will find hundreds of sites with little to no members – and I’d guess most are operating at a loss.

And it is for these reasons, that I am a big big fan of affiliate marketing.

The affiliate commissions I earn each year are actually very competitive with the amount of money I earn at some of my websites!

So while having your own website may seem prestigious and definitely a cool experience, if your main concern is making an income and some healthy profits, there is absolutely nothing wrong or disadvantageous about promoting other peoples’ products as an affiliate.

In fact, it can be just as profitable (if not more), than owning your own website.

So here is my big advice to start off the new year.

With this single statement, I can promise that you will see more change in your life than ever before. I do have to warn you that this change can be flat out scary. I went from virtually no business to a full time income online in just 3 months, simply by the power of this statement…

“Make The Commitment”

Yes, I dare you to make the commitment to work towards a better life. If you look back at last year and are not satisfied with the progress you made, I urge you to take a leap forward and make the commitment.

• Signing up for 10 good advertising sites is not hard.
• Most of us can find 30+ minutes a day to view some ads and earn credits. (we spend more time watching tv or surfing the net anyway )
• You have the ability to fill out a good downline builder with your referral links, and earn lots of commissions.
• You’re more than capable of building your own mailing list, with all the amazing pre-made systems out there created for you.

If you have the ability to do it, you can do it. You simply have to make the commitment to yourself and your loved ones to create positive change in your life.

Here’s to your awesome new year that you are gonna create for yourself!

So tell me, what are you going to do differently in 2013? Share it in the comment section below

Everyone is trying to grab your attention, tells you you need to do “this” to make money, and then they try to sell you the next great something.

I’ve struggled, bought products that are just awful, been literally ripped off, and made lots of mistakes. Sound familiar? Well I’ve been there too! What I discovered was there IS light at the end of the tunnel… but you have to be willing to take that journey.

Making some extra cash (or a lot of cash) is more realistic when you think about it. If you make just one sale a day at $20, that is about $600 a month. When you pull in just three sales a day at $20, that’s $1,800 a month. That’s a lot of extra pocket money for most people!

So here’s how to get on the fast track to real results.

When I say real results, I mean to start making money from home whether you’re at your computer or not. That means you having more time. And enjoying life a little bit more.

The trick lies in a quote by author, Agatha Christie:

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started”

That’s it! So what I dare you to do is to just start taking action. You will never see any results buying product after product without execution. So here’s some easy action steps:

1. Start doing something – anything – that you think might help you towards making money online.
2. Of course try to take intelligent actions. There’s lots of advice on this blog as well.
3. You might make some mistakes or do the wrong thing. It’s ok as long as you’re learning from it.
4. Take note of your successes, no matter how small it is. That could be a sign you’re moving in the right direction.
5. No idea where to start? What would I suggest? Earn some credits at top advertising sites, and start advertising something. I recommend building your list with squeeze pages for the best earning potential, but if you want to do affiliate links go for it… just get something started!

I would love to hear your thoughts or experiences!

Fortunately for you, the current squeeze pages already do a fantastic job at converting people into subscribers. Even to this day, I’m using the exact same List Recon squeeze pages given to you to build my own list, so I know they work and they work well!

With that fact, I don’t feel a need to add new squeezes… BUT … after reviewing what was already there, I did realize that I have uncovered quite a few additional tactics that increases conversions since we first introduced List Recon.

And now those subtle changes have been added! You may not even notice the changes, but they use secret ninja tactics that make people much more willing and excited to subscribe. List Recon has been helping many folks out there build their subscriber list and finally start making sales, but now it has quietly just gotten a lot better!

If you aren’t sure why you want to build a subscriber list or just aren’t a member of List Recon yet, just go to the homepage and see why it is such a necessary weapon in your income-building arsenal.

And it seems like marketers all over are already seeing their websites drop significantly in the rankings. There’s already large and growing threads in many of the popular marketing forums where folks are sharing how far their website rankings have fell!

I just thought I would take this opportunity to show you yet another reason why I believe so strongly in building your own subscriber list.

This protects your business from being at the mercy of the search engines. So whether you are using SEO, safelist, traffic exchanges, paid advertising, or any other type of traffic generation method, please don’t put all that work to waste!

You never know when that website you’re promoting might go out of business, making your affiliate links pointless. You never know when an owner might just stop paying out commissions (has happened to me a few times and lots of other marketers!). And you never know when your top ranking website might suddenly stop receiving any traffic at all.

Build a customer list that you can bring with you wherever your business takes you.

For building a subscriber list, I like Aweber.

If you need some tools to start you on the way to building your own mailing list, try out my very cool list building and traffic system, List Recon.

Have you been affected by this change or know someone who has? Have a story or comment you want to share? We would love to hear from you!

I’ve been testing some different list building methods recently and have been showing OTO’s using my Free One Time Offer Script service. I checked some stats and noticed a pleasant surprise…

I pulled in 6 referrals just from showing those offers! At the bottom of each OTO is a little link to the Free OTO Script site (automatically built in with your referral link) that those users clicked and ended up joining.

Unfortunately none of them upgraded, that of course that is just the beginning and the upgrades will come with time.

I thought that was a cool little extra benefit of using Free OTO Script. You can display your own one time offers, plus you also have the chance to pull in some extra referrals and commissions using the system too!

So check out Free OTO Script! After you join, I think you’ll find it a valuable tool in your money making arsenal. Click here to join for free.

Talk to ya later!

I promised that if I had enough comments/tweets in my last blog post, I would willing to share THIS post with you! There’s also a tweet out there, but for whatever reason Tweetme is not counting it. :p

I do need to mention that although I say 3-10 sales per month, it’s actually much higher when you factor in some other things… which I will address in just a moment.

I have to warn you that this is so simple, you may almost not believe it. But this is really all it takes to get your business started online and start making sales.

So here it is, step by step:

• I use the pre-built squeeze pages and autoresponder series given away for free at List Recon
• I advertise regularly at all of my favorite traffic exchanges, safelists, and viral list builders (or as much as possible) and of course track my results
• I’m upgraded at many of the best converting programs. If you can’t afford to upgrade yet, you’ll want to be more active.
• Watch as my subscriber list grows, people join List Recon under my referral link, and upgrade
• Repeat

And that process alone scores me about 3-10 sales each month.

HOWEVER…

That is actually just the sales I’m counting immediately.

As a Free member, your List Recon affiliate link is inside of the free report you give away.

But as an upgraded member of List Recon, you can rebrand ALL of the affilate links inside of the ebook and inside the members area! That equals dozens more opportunities to make even more sales at various quality programs. In many cases these are also residual income sales, which means you could be earning monthly commissions too.

PLUS you are building your subscriber list. That means you can also have an instant audience whenever something exciting comes out that you think can help others.

So now you’re making Front-End Sales, Back-End Sales, Residual Sales, AND planting the seeds for Future Sales!

In reality, 3-10 sales is quite an understatement.

There are a couple of important considerations. First, as I mentioned earlier, I am upgraded at many sites. So if you can’t afford upgrades, you’ll need to be more active. If you can’t be more active, the results may come at a slower pace. That’s ok! Just be willing to put in the work and get as many sales as possible.

Second, I use my own website List Recon as an example, but you can certainly use any proven lead generator and sales system that can deliver results for you. I just like List Recon because it’s my own site and I know for a fact it works. I use the EXACT same content from List Recon that I give away to my members. If you have something that works, definitely stick with it. Just make sure that you have a system that can get all the income potential like what I presented to you above. If you don’t have something like yet, then I suggest using List Recon.

… aaand so that is my big secret! The big secret is that there really is no secret. You just have to go out there and DO IT!

And say this may be one of the most powerful articles you will ever read about online business.

Haha ok I take that back, but honestly this IS a powerful secret that I will reveal with you today. Do this, and you will experience greater success in your business.

At the time I write this, I have a mailing list of about 15,000 people and 300 followers on IM Faceplate. I’m not saying this to show off, but I want you to know that I speak from experience. And YOU can easily do the same or better if you follow the secrets I’m about to share with you.

I have to warn you though, if you’re looking for the answer for fast cash, you won’t find it here.

What you’re going to discover is the secret to BIGGEER, LONG LASTING cash. It won’t happen overnight, but once you have this, the money comes often and with ease.

This is what you’ve been waiting for…

You Must Build TRUST!

When you’ve established yourself as being trustworthy, people will begin to follow you wherever you go.

“Easier said than done Solomon!”

I promise it’s not as hard as it seems! =)

So how do you build a reputation and instill trust?

For beginners, the easiest way is to build your brand. This is what I did to get started online. I put my name and face everywhere I advertise.

For those of you who have the brand established, now it’s time to respect the people who recognize your brand. That means being an honest seller and taking care of your customers.

This could get very long, so let me keep it short, sweet, and simple:

* Build your brand – Put your name and picture on everything you’re associated with. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that, create an Identity that you want to be known as. (Ex. Mr. Money Bags, except something less corny than my example!)

* Be yourself – Just be comfortable with who you are. While professionalism is important, you also want people to feel like you are a real person just like them. Can you kind of feel my personality through this article? Be yourself, and people will feel more connected to you as well.

* Be Consistent – This one is kind of weird, but it’s true. You want people to see you often, because it shows you’ll be around for the long term and won’t randomly disappear. For example, you can regularly in contact with your mailing lists and be active in IM Faceplate often.

* Be Honest – Of course part of trust is being honest! I can’t think of a great example here, but one thing I personally do is I don’t promote products unless I believe it can help you.

* Give Away The Goods – Educate people with solid information. It doesn’t mean you have to reveal all of your secrets for free, but share valuable information and show people that you can help them. Part of building trust is people want to know you can lead them somewhere great. Then be amazed as people anxiously await to hear what you’re doing next!

A big reason why I have 300 followers on IM Faceplate is because many perceive me to be someone you can trust to deliver real secrets about making money online.

You want people to “follow you” on IM Faceplate because they want to hear what you have to say… NOT because they’re hoping you will follow them back so they can spam you with affiliate links!

Try the steps above, beginning with building your brand first. And soon you’ll have hundreds or even thousands of people following you on IM Faceplate and everywhere you go!
