Now let me rephrase that…

Do you have what it takes to become successful?

All too frequently people turn to the net in the hopes of being able to create an income online, either because they aren´t earning enough and want to make a little extra, because they don´t like their job and are looking for something else or maybe because they are unemployed and desperately need to make money.

The internet is fast … in everything …

Technologies changes fast… new inventions are popping up every day and the same seems to go for the next best answer to internet riches. If you have spent even a little bit of time looking for ways to make money online, I am sure you have already run into hundreds of pages that make you believe you can become rich without working.

No matter how fast internet is, one thing will never change

In order to make money online, you will need to work. There is no such thing as “getting rich online fast” even though many many marketers are selling their products wanting you to believe there is actually a “secret to making money online”.

Why do they want YOU to believe it is possible becoming rich without working?? Because THEY want YOU to buy THEIR product so that THEY can become richer!

That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, sad as it is!

Having identified the problem, the core belief that you can become rich online without lifting a finger and have cheques in your mail every day is one part. There is however another part to the problem…

YOU!

Do YOU really believe that you can just become an internet success, making thousands of dollars a day, without having to do the hard work?? I mean… if that were true, weren´t we ALL rich by now?

Think about that, please… think about it!!

Having said that… now that you are back on earth with both feet…

Do you have what it takes to really become successful?

Are you willing to put in the hard work NOW so that later on down the line you can harvest the fruits of your hard work?

If so, WHAT is holding you back?

You see, I have thought long and hard about that question, especially relating to myself, what is holding me back to become an internet success. And the answer for me personally was “not having a real plan and being able to stick to it”.

That was the case untill I ran across the One Week Marketing Plan. This program is what has changed my life and is still changing it in terms of getting more productive (ie, making more websites, building more traffic and making more sales) and giving me the exact guide, step by step on how to do it.

Making money online really isn´t rocket science. I can sincerely say that almost any system will work, as long as YOU are willing to work. So no more detours, buying the next best promise to internet riches, no more surfing around all day trying to find answer, but actually working on a proven program that WILL make you money.

And the harder you work right NOW, the more money it will be making and continue to be making down the line.

The One Week Marketing Plan will give you the specific plan to do just that. It teaches you how to set up an affiliate project, how to create webcontent for it that generates traffic, how to find keywords that will make you succeed.

What do you get with the One Week Marketing Plan?

The Plan consists of an easy to understand guide, no hype there, just sincere and straight forward information and little insider tricks from a person who is already making thousands of dollars a day, a year from first starting to work the way described in the guide.

A very usefull checklist so that you can see exactly where you are, what to do next and how to do it, to make sure you don´t forget one single step.

A great transcript of a real conversation (136 pages) between the writer of One Week Marketing plan and one of her students. You can see exactly how he got to make his first sale the first week of his first campaign and how he made another 2 only days after that!

A mindmap giving you a very specific idea on how to grow your business (yes, I said business… we are talking business here, right?!?! ) step by step.

A One Week Marketing Plan, sort of a short list of all the actions you need to take.

Now if that isn´t a complete package, I don´t know what is. And if YOU aren´t able to build a consistent stream of money with the help of this package, it is because you weren´t looking to really make money!

So if you are really interested in making money online, and haven´t been able to do so far, check out the One Week Marketing Plan, it will probably be the best investment you ever make in YOUR FUTURE!

ps, if you decide to get the plan because of this post, please contact me after purchasing and I will send you a keyword research sheet that I am using myself when doing my keyword research. It comes with full explanation on how to find out which keywords to target in order to build traffic to your affiliate sites in low competition searched keywords.

If you are reading this post chances are you are very interested in making money online. Chances also are that so far your results haven’t been all that great, since only a few percent of people who get started with online marketing will actually reach the point of being able to give up their day job and get a full salary from their online ventures.

Like I have said in other posts already, it is possible to make money online and receive a good income doing internet marketing speaking from personal experience, it might take a while to figure out just what you need to do. Once you have seen the light though, Internet marketing is probably the most full filling job out there, and the one single job that can make your wildest dreams come true.

There are many possibilities and affiliate programs you can join in order to build your online empire, but recently I have come across one program in particular that really helps their affiliates getting on the right track.

I was looking for a new product to start promoting along with the numerous websites I am already running, and at first did not really pay a lot of attention to all that this particular program was offering, I was just interested in the huge commission pay-outs this affiliate program is offering.

However, after signing up and getting to know the website, I can only say to be very impressed with all that they are doing in order to get their affiliates bringing in large pay cheques.

Which affiliate program to choose

Most affiliate programs have a huge number of products listed to promote and at most they offer a few banners to their affiliates to use in their promotional campaign. Now, once you learn how to promote and what to do, these programs can make you a lot of money, but what happens if you are just starting out?

Without knowing what you really need to do, you will probably end up throwing in the towel sooner or later; because of the lack of knowledge and support you need in order to become a success. Is that the type of affiliate program you need?

The affiliate program I want to focus on today is quite the contrary. They are going way beyond any other program I have know so far, with their efforts and guides to make money.

A short list of what they are offering their affiliates:

• A total of $45 in bonuses you can start building up once signed up for the program for free, including a welcome bonus, bonus for participating in their excellent forum, a bonus for setting up your links correctly and a bonus for starting to send traffic. These bonuses are designed to make you participate and keep you motivated while still working on your first sale to be made, which is the only condition to be able to cash in.

• More importantly, they offer excellent guides for beginners on how to get started, how to set up a website, how to promote, how to improve SEO, basically all you need to know to start making money in your first month of signing up with them.

• Apart from that, they give you the tools you need to make a website, free templates, free images and banners and a lot of articles you can use to create unique content and grow your website and link building efforts.

• A very active member forum where you can ask for advice and website reviews, including a ton of information and support in order to become a success.

• Videos which offer quality information on how to improve your website and get started earning money, plus if you need to, you can always contact the product owners who participate in the forum as well with your questions and needs.

• Very high commission pay-outs of up to 40% or $175 for different products, plus extra incentives like competition bonuses for your website.

The most impressive of this whole affiliate program is probably the energy everybody is putting in to really get those sales going, but I have to warn you, the only one accountable for your success is you, so you will need to put in the elbow grease, dedicate time to setting up websites and promotional strategies.

Since this is not a get rich quick scheme, don’t bother signing up for it if you aren’t serious about Internet marketing. You will need to understand that it involves work and time to build your business, but using the excellent guides and promotional material, the affiliate program team has taken out all the guess work and you can follow their steps which have already proven to be successful.

At present you can promote health products, men’s health, casino sites and business-to-business products, but the team is working hard on adding more products to promote in the near future

Going back to the initial title of this post, if you sign up for this program I will personally be available to offer my help and advice and you can always contact me if there are things you are having a problem with, because if you sign up with me, I really want you to succeed and get those sales going.

When I first started writing this post, I had signed up for a lot of “Get Paid To” programs, thinking it would be the answer to my financial trouble. I mean, what would be easier than getting paid for giving my opinion, or write a simple review on some product, read some emails etc.

I had even prepared a nice little list for you guys of all the different options out there, giving my opinion on all the different companies that pay you to do a certain task, thinking that maybe I could get a few bucks out of the deal as well if I could persuade enough people to sign up for free.

I never finished the post, and even if I would have, I am sure I would have had it deleted by now, because I would not want to sucker you into trying something out that is a complete waste of time.

You have heard it right, I believe all those “Get Paid To” programs are a total and utter waste of time. Some of you might jump up now and say that I am crazy because they themselves are making a few bucks filling in surveys or reading emails, but let’s be honest here, do the math, calculate how much time you would spend to earn a few bucks and then think about whether your time really is that cheap.

Most programs are scams anyways, never allowing you to reach the minimum payout so you waste your time, and have others make money off of you, without ever seeing a dime.

If that does not sound bad enough already, there are two other more important reasons why I would never ever again sign up for a Get Paid To program and I would really want you to think about the following:

1. The whole reason I went into making money online, was to be able to start working less in the future, while my earnings would go up, instead of trading my time for money and therefore never achieve financial freedom, selling myself short and devaluating my time. I want to make sure I am actually creating a strong foundation I can keep improving and amplifying.
2. The whole Get Paid to Review deal is going to be detrimental to your website in the long run. Cool, you might be making a few bucks here and there, but what you are doing is selling links, or in other words, selling page rank, having to post several links to whomever is paying you to do a review. In the long run you will get penalized for doing so by the search engines, and thus breaking down the importance of your own website.

This last point can’t be stressed enough in my opinion, because many people just don’t seem to get it, until they actually get penalized. If you are running a blog with low PR you won´t land any big orders of writing reviews because the companies really aren’t after the quick buzz a review might give them, they are after high quality links, even dictating how they want to be linked to.

Now, you might want to argue with me on this point, saying there are blogs out there showing that they actually receive hundreds of dollars for a review, but I predict this amount will soon go down. The ones that have made big money doing paid reviews, have gotten in at the right time, before penalization became a big issue and they were slapped by google last year.

So, if you are thinking about making serious money with your website, you might want to reconsider just how you plan on doing it. Just make sure you don´t get paid to trade your time for money,  nor get paid to kill your own pagerank!

There are a lot of people in the blogosphere who want you to believe that it is almost impossible to make money from a blog, probably because they aren’t making hardly any money at all.

I am here to tell you though that it is possible and that in fact, it isn’t even that hard.

I would also say that it is possible for anyone to make money from a blog (I have seen people from many countries, of most ages - from children to elderly people - male and female, able bodied to people with a variety of physical hardships and people of different education and social levels make a go of blogging for an income).

It is very well possible but the reality is that most who try don’t make a lot of money.

The reasons why many who try don´t make much money blogging are many but here are 10 reasons that come to mind:

1. Not enough time - it is hard work and takes time on an ongoing (daily ideally) basis.
2. Giving Up too quickly - most successful blogs don’t hit their strides till they are at least 12 months old, but that does not mean your blog can´t make money starting the first month.
3. Non commercial Topic - some topics are easier than others to find significant income streams for.
4. Lack of writing skills - like it or not, blogging is a written form and unless you are able to write (or rewrite, or pay others to write for you) you’ll almost always struggle.
5. Breaking the Rules - some bloggers get greedy and break the rules, either of the ad programs they use or the unwritten rules of blogging.
6. Distractions for the core functions of a blog - many get caught up in one of the many distractions that challenge bloggers and forget to concentrate on their actual writing of quality content.
7. Unluckiness - sometimes a blog´s success hinges on a lucky moment - miss it or fail to take the opportunities that come and you might miss significant rewards.
8. Taking Readers for Granted - I have seen a couple of blogs over the last year or so that fell over because the blogger became so self absorbed that they forgot that a blog rises and falls upon whether it´s  readers find the blog useful to them.
9. Spreading yourself too thinly - many bloggers have the gift of being visionaries (a good thing) but fail to have the gift of realism. The result is that many start things that they have no way of seeing through or spread themselves across too many projects too quickly and by doing this, ensuring themselves of failure.
10. Lack of Focus - hyperactive bloggers who flit from one unfinished project or idea to another without seeing anything through tend to fail to build sustainable blogs.

Even as I write this list I realize that some of the above factors (and others that continue to come to mind even now) are within the blogger´s  grasp and some are not. Like any business there are both internal and external threats and risks - blogging for money is no different.

So let´s face it, anyone can make money through blogging. Fact remains that only a few actually do, because they are the ones determined to make it work and don´t mind putting in the elbowgrease it takes to build links and content continuosly.
