There are so many factors involved, but my biggest piece of advice is this, especially for beginners:

1. Specialize and focus intensely on ONE market. Learn EVERYTHING about it.

2. Worthwhile content is the most valuable commodity on the Internet and, in time with consistent promotion, acts it draws traffic like a magnet.

3. From ‘Day One’ think in terms of building a following of people who know you and trust your opinion.

4. Mail sent to a list like that is generally very productive

Does it take time? Yes. Does it take work? Yes.

I want to go on the record as saying that I am EXTREMELY opposed to the “get rich quick” courses that present Internet marketing as if it were an effortless game.

Anyone who presents Internet marketing to you like that is pulling your chain.

On the other hand, marketing legitimate products and services on the Internet in a business-like way is a darn good business to be in, but it IS a business and like every business, there’s an price of admission.

I’m going to make a very biased recommendation and suggest you look into getting our System Smart Beginners Course.

It lays out the business of Internet marketing in a serious, comprehensive way and will give you the foundation you need to be in the business for real:

It's speeded up, but you can pause it to look at individual frames. This is the most recorded snow that's ever falled on NYC in one day and the park looks beautiful.

Speaking of weather, the day after I got home, 26.9 inches of snow fell on New York City. How much is that in rain? The old rule of thumb is one inch of snow equals ten inches of rain. According to that standard, that's the equivalent of 22 feet of rain! I dodged the bullet by leaving the sunny Bay Area a day earlier than I'd planned. Good thing. 520 flights were canceled. Even in this digital age, the weather is no joke.
