Monday Question: Income Expectations From Internet Marketing

3 Replies

I got a question via email recently which reasonates with a lot of emails I get:

Hi Andrew stumbled upon your blog through a ewen site, mind you I was researching on how credible internet marketing was and if they were scams, so I have a few questions to help me understand and hopefully make a decision

How realistic would the rabid niche cash machine work, what is really involved? lets talk about money what are the realistic figures of profits on using this product, I dont fully understand how this would work and what creates profit. How much time do I need to input to see a decent return. I would really like to know if this is a proven method and someone like me could be able to use this and eventually become financially free, its all good to say buy the product and find out, but a little more understanding and some peace about this would help me 100% to make a final decision, $30 may not look much to you but for me at this moment in my life its alot, any help and more understanding will be genuinely appreciated, thanks so much for your time and look forward to hearing from you

Lots of questions have been raised and I’ll do my best to address each point.

“how credible internet marketing was” – Internet Marketing is the broad name given to what was known as “e-commerce” previously. Internet Marketing is as credible as any other broad field like “advertising” or “engineering” or “biology”…

You have the big players like Amazon, eBay, MySpace, Friendster, Google, Yahoo!, and you have the smaller Internet Marketers and Internet Marketing business/companies.

From the looks of things, I am gonna have to work 24-7 to make a decent living from this. What am I missing out on?

Here is a list of ebooks and blogs, forums and other sites I’ve been reading

Monday Question: What’s A Good Niche To Get Into?

5 Replies

Starting this week, I’m kicking off a series of answers to readers questions which will appear every Monday (hence…the “Monday Question”).

Here’s this weeks question: “I’m a new Internet Marketer, which Internet Marketing product do you suggest I start promoting as an affiliate”

My answer: You should pick the area in which you have the greatest affinity.

Note that the most successful Internet Marketers will brand themself in a specific manner, with one identity, for example, you might have:

  • Joel “AdSense” Comm
  • Mike “Viral Marketing” Filsaime
  • Chris “Super Affiliate” McNeeley
  • John Carlton “The Marketing Rebel”
  • Michel Fortin “The Copywriting Doctor”
  • Darren “ProBlogger” Rowse
  • Gary Ambrose “Viral Listbuilder”

You hardly come across someone who brands themself as a adsense/PPC/eBay/super affiliate/seo/product creator for a reason. You lose credibility because most will not believe you can master so many specializations just a couple of months into the industry.

You might have a few Continue reading →
