One of the biggest decisions facing an Internet marketing newbie wanting to make money online is: what to sell? (Duh!)

Seriously though, it’s a critical decision, whether to create your own products and sell them, or whether to just act as a sales broker for other peoples’ products—the so-called “affiliate” role.

You can do both, of course. But at the outset the choice may seem a little baffling to the beginner. There are pros and cons of both methods. Let’s talk about that… Read more »

I want you to get really good content from this blog. Keep checking, there will always be something useful here.

One of the key issues I keep getting asked about is whether it’s better to do launches with JVs or use traffic control and pay-per-click to get steady sales.

Both have their values but I can tell you right off I’m biased towards launches. That’s where I made most of my money. In some ways it’s harder to do; it will test your networking and people skills. But it doesn’t have nearly the same complexity as pay-per-click campaigns and riding the search engines.

The plus side of the “launch” formula is that you make a rash of money all at once. It feels really empowering. On the down side, there is huge chaos at the office while the promotion blast goes out, followed by the stresses and strains of getting the fulfillment right. And of course the JVs all want their cut: typically 50% or more.

The steady pay-per-click traffic approach brings in income all the time, which is good. But that means you have to work the system constantly. It’s getting very hard to master the real skills of pay-per-click, as the big search engines seem determined to make it difficult to succeed. And, of course, it’s not really cheap. In fact you may also end up paying out 50% (or more) of each sale in PPC fees to Google etc.

I’m clear which method I prefer to make money online, as I said, but I’ll try and weigh the pros and cons carefully for you. Read more »

I’ve been hard at work developing an idea I had…

It’s big.  In fact, it’s the biggest idea I’ve ever had.

It will change the face of Internet Marketing and change the lives of thousands.  I can’t say anymore so I’ll leave you with an image.  Let me know what you think!

UPDATE: I realized after I wrote this that I sound like “just another I’ve got the next best thing”.  I want to clarify WHY I think what I have will change the face of marketing and those wanting to make money online:

The Autopilot Wealth Institute is a way of learning.  A proven method to learn.  Time tested through years of research.  There has been NO ONE to my knowledge that has provided a “marketing school” so to speak, like I am developing.  For the skeptics out there, you should be as there is too much crap out there to take my word for it.  The Autopilot Wealth Institute isn’t a new product, it isn’t a big launch I’m up to, it’s above that.

Great comments by the way, many (in fact most) of you love the new logo, and a few of you aren’t too impressed.  To clear it up a bit, palm tree represent freedom to me.  Autopilot represents the ability to create residual income.  Wealth is what we all strive for.  Institute implies that you have to learn and work for it.

Hey guys,

We’ve cracked it with support tickets. A major blast got these down to zero (just for one glorious moment, before the next ticket came in)!

Seriously though, we’ve cracked the problem. We can now deal with tickets as they come in. Hopefully you won’t need us but if you do, you will notice your query gets handled swiftly.

It’s not that we don’t want to deal with problems. But the recent overwhelming success of Autopilot Sales Formula has stretched our team to the limit. We simply fell behind.

And – I gotta say this – some people were less than straight shooters, signed on for the free deal and then canceled the ongoing immediately they got their package. This increased our ticket load enormously. These were the ones howling most about lack of support, don’t you know it.

I can’t figure out how people hope to make money on line if they think that’s the way to do things. I can’t wish for them that their customers do the same tricks. I’d rather they learned to play straight. But these guys probably have the most to learn, is all.

The other thing that puzzles me is why anybody wanting to learn the secrets of autopilot sales and money making would cancel before the course is barely started!

There are some really great Masters Of The Month series to come and will build into a powerful course. For less than $30 a month you can have a real marketing expert over your shoulder week after week.

That’s neat.

One of the most important things you can learn about making money online is networking OFF-line!

Excitement is now building for the August “Gateway To Wealth” seminar in Orlando. It’s going to be a great event and the staff are pulling out all the stops. The list of speakers is awesome and includes Christine Comaford-Lynch, who is a world-class celebrity these days!

Why am I telling you this? Just to advertize?

No! I’m telling you because you NEED to be there. One of the most important teachings about Internet marketing is that you need to meet and interact with people in the real world, not just cyberspace. All of us really committed to this business can tell you categorically that the most important connections we made — the ones which spurred our business on to real wealth — were at live events.

Just to sit at home and read eBooks and listen to audios about how Internet marketing is done is not enough. You can’t learn to be a brain surgeon from books.

OK, Internet marketing isn’t brain surgery. But it’s still complex and subtle. You learn by doing. You learn by speaking with people who have already gone before. They know how it works.

Here’s something to think about: I have observed that everyone in this business is willing to talk with beginners and share what they know. True, on the websites people post copyright notices and want you to pay for their knowledge. But offline, everyone is informal and has no sense of competitiveness. It’s sharing and caring.

In any case, it’s not just about meeting with the speakers and talking to them. Your fellow attendees are also good contacts. You can meet people, like yourself, who are just learning. But that doesn’t mean they are not already doing well.

I’ve had attendees with a 50,000 list in my audiences. You get to talk with them over coffee or cocktails and you will probably learn as much that way as you will sitting taking notes in the auditorium. You can find partners for JVs too.

You have to have an offline presence to succeed n the Internet. Believe me.

Here’s a FREE event (a $100 deposit is refunded as soon as you send proof you booked your flight or hotel).

You gotta go! It’s as simple as that…

We call it the Gateway To Wealth. Find out more details here

“This lottery win will not change my life one bit!”

Did you ever read stories like that? Some guy wins $10,000,000 and when interviewed for the newspaper says “It won’t change me”.

What?

Is he (or she) insane? Why would you not want to change? The WHOLE POINT about getting rich is that it does change you!! You’re different in every fiber. It’s amazing! I love it!

Years ago, before I discovered the secret of making money online, I was unhappy. I was struggling and felt down on myself. I couldn’t pay the bills. I felt I would lose the respect of my wife and wasn’t taking care of my kids.

That doesn’t feel very nice, trust me.

So when I finally hit on the knowledge I now share in my teaching programs and it made me wealthy, I felt a completely different person. I held my head up. I’m proud and when my wife says she loves me, I know she’s not just being sympathetic or trying to console me. She means it!

This transformation was very important to me and inspires my work. I want everyone to have this good feeling. I know you can do it. What’s more anybody can earn more than me, a lot more!

I’m not a fanatic. Dudes, if you want to put in 60- 80 hours a week you can earn double what I earn.

I’ve no problem with that! Grab the ball and run!

Peace and productivity making money online

The launch of Autopilot Sales Formula has been pretty smooth. Ideally, the kind of Internet business you want is one where nothing much ever happens! You just press the button and sit back: no glitches, no nasty surprises, no irate phone calls, no broken links, no download problems and so forth. Peaceful, relaxed, is good! It’s a measure of your control over the process.

Already we have stacked up over $200,000 in affiliate commissions, which will be going out on time to a happy affiliate army. This has been a really amazing launch for me in that I decided we would pay our affiliates 100% commission. In other words we eat all the initial costs and make our money later. That’s how much faith I have in the product.

We resisted the temptation to go play golf or take a fishing trip and instead started work on our next project (ooops! there’s another success tip I let slip!)

Seriously though, you don’t succeed without hard work. I’m simply making the point that a quiet office is one where we can all get our work done. Lots of commotion, activity and phone calls SOUNDS busy but it’s the wrong kind of action. Quiet and harmony go hand in hand.

When you get your Autopilot Sales Formula working properly you too will feel the quiet! It’s a great life.
