Internet Marketing For Free

There are a couple of reasons why I am not richer than Midas right now.

One is that I am a lazy marketer. The other is that I haven’t always been focused. One of my favorite business partners reminded me of this the other day. Thanks to him, I’ve completely restructured my business, and I’m finally doing what I should be doing.

Now, if you’re not making any money, or you’re not making the kind of money you want to make, there could be several reasons.


This introduction is to help you find out what’s holding you back and solve the problem.

First, you don’t believe that you can succeed. Some of your worst enemies may be those around you. I know this because I’ve been in the same situation.

This is easily solved. Change your mindset. If you don’t believe in yourself and what you are doing, you won’t succeed.

Here’s a site I just found that I highly recommend. I don’t get anything for telling you about it, but I believe it’s noteworthy. Positive Club. This site offers a forum and tons of free ebooks to put you in the right mindset.

Second, you don’t understand how marketing works, or how to do it. This problem is also easily solved.

Read my blog. I’m a marketing purist. You’ll learn internet marketing, and how to do it for free, on this blog.

I personally am sick of all the hype on the internet. What a lot of the internet marketing “gurus”, who make millions every year doing this, don’t tell you is how much money they spend on infomercials, as well as offline advertising, to promote their businesses.

Also, if they came online around 1997 or 1998 or before, they built huge lists using spam techniques to do it.

I quit reading their junk a long time ago because I got tired of being bombarded with sales messages full of hype about the next big thing. Every time a new marketing method, like blogs for example, shows up, they find a way to exploit it, making it useless unless you’re willing to learn to do it right.

I’m also tired of this next big thing they do. Although the internet has changed in the six years I’ve been running my business, there are still certain marketing techniques that worked when I started, and they work now.

I’ll show you those techniques, show you how to get the most out of them, and it won’t cost you a thing except a little work. As long as you market consistently, track your efforts, and then fine tune what’s not working, you’ll have highly successful marketing campaigns every time.

Third, you’re not focused.

Can you tell me in one sentence what your business is all about?

If you can’t, then you aren’t focused.

In one sentence, here is the focus of my business:

Internet Marketing for Free is about teaching internet businesses that have a shoestring marketing budget how to market on the internet completely free, and then supplying the free tools and resources to do it.

Now, that sentence seems a little long. However, I’ve included my market, and I tell what I do.

You need to do the same with your business. Focus.

If you need help focusing on what your business is all about, then take Mark Joyner’s Simpleology. I don’t get anything for telling you about this, but if you want to achieve focus in your life, become more productive, and achieve your goals, the free course will do it for you.

Finally, you’re just plain scared of success, or you’re scared of what others will think.

Who cares?

Although I pay attention to my customers, my readers, my business associates, and those I love, I really listen to what they are telling me.

Take the time to listen. Does that person have an agenda? Does he/she want to sabotage your success, or is he/she telling you a vital piece of information you need to know?

Once you filter out the negatives, the criticism that’s just meant to sabotage your efforts, you’ll know exactly what you need to do.

Build a strong network of people who believe in you.

Now, over the next 30 days, I’ll be covering the following techniques. I’ll explain each one, show you how to implement it, and tell you some of the best places online to get it done. I’ll also show you how I find my markets so that you can use the same system no matter what you sell.
