I have been in the Internet marketing business since 1999 and it has been a great experience. It was not always easy though. When I first started, I had no idea what I was doing. I had never done any kind of marketing before. I did not know how to use search engines, or even how to use a web browser. I did not know how long it would take to get traffic to my website. I did not know anything about e-mail marketing, pay per click advertising, banner ads, or any other form of online marketing.
I started out by joining several affiliate programs. This was the easiest thing to do. I could join an affiliate program with little or no knowledge of what I was getting into. The affiliate program would provide me with a list of products to sell, a web site where I could place my links, and a payment processor that would handle all of the transactions. The affiliate program would also provide me with training materials that would teach me how to market the products. I would make money by selling the products and earning commissions on every sale.
It was very easy to get started. I just signed up and joined some affiliate programs. I then created a web site that would allow me to promote the products. I also began writing articles and submitting them to article directories. I submitted these articles to the search engines as well. I found that this was the most effective method of driving traffic to my web site.
I soon learned that I needed to be very careful about the products that I promoted. I was spending money on products that were worthless. I did not understand why some products were selling like hot cakes while others were not. I discovered that there was a huge difference between quality and value. There are many products that are over priced and under delivered. I learned that if you are going to spend your hard earned money on an online product, you should expect it to deliver.
When I started out, I had no idea how long it would take to build a successful business. I was willing to work hard and learn new skills. I knew that I wanted to succeed at home. I wanted to earn a good living working from home. I wanted to be able to enjoy the time that I spent with my family and friends.
Today, I have a thriving business. I am making more money than I ever dreamed possible. I am able to spend more time with my family. I am able to help my children with their school work. I am able to go out to dinner with my wife and friends. I am able to play golf on the weekends. I am able to travel whenever I want.
