Internet marketing is surrounded by facts that every aspiring online entrepreneur should know. Although you have heard several success stories about individuals who succeeded and earned thousands to millions of dollars through Internet marketing, they are also bounded by these facts existing around the industry.
First, just like the typical business investment, you cannot make a fortune overnight on Internet marketing. Successful Internet marketers have spent several years to perfect their marketing strategies. They have started from studying the “ins and outs” of the business opportunity, applied existing strategies, formulated their own marketing strategies, and test their new strategies to their marketing business. Although Internet marketing offers a lucrative business opportunity for everyone, it takes some time before you could earn millions of dollars through Internet marketing. You will start from several hundreds and after several months or years, you will be able to earn thousands of dollars on Internet marketing revenues.
Second, your competitors will always be your competitors. There are instances wherein they will use you for their advantage. Of course, we do not want to ruin friendships here, but it is a fact that you must be careful of. You can work hand in hand with other Internet marketers, but you must ensure that you are not working with “hungry predators” or those who will not use your generosity for their advantage of earning more money.
Lastly, getting potential clients is the hardest part of your Internet marketing career. Remember that the success of your Internet marketing business will depend on how you will attract potential clients coming from the majority of traffic around the Internet. Even if you have a well-designed website with useful facilities such as information catalogs and shopping cart services, once you failed to attract large web traffic towards your site, your Internet marketing business will be of total failure.
Among the aforementioned facts, the last one is what you need think of most. As previously mentioned, the success of your Internet marketing career depends on how you build your clientele base. Such clientele base will serve as your “bloodline” that will keep your marketing career alive. Without them, the Internet marketing industry will remain to be a dream for individuals who want to earn more money.
If you want to attract potential clients and convert them into loyal product evangelizers, you must learn the whereabouts of Internet marketing promotion and advertising. Promoting and advertising your Internet marketing is crucial to your website and to your career as well. Through these strategies, you will be able to attract motivated people who are willing to purchase whatever you are offering. Taking time to create some buzz about your website will keep them coming back and create an intriguing impression to those individuals who haven’t got a try of your products or services.
Promotion and advertising will help you get the targeted traffic that you want in the early run of your Internet marketing career. In fact, the cost of promoting and advertising your site on the Internet is not as expensive as advertising your products and services through conventional methods such as billboards and classified ads of different newspapers. Even if you do not have that large marketing budget, you can still promote and advertise your site using various alternative and low-cost promotional methods.
So what are the characteristics of a good Internet marketing promotion and advertising? Take a look on the following items and make sure that your promotion and advertising tools possess these characteristics:
• It must have a long-lasting effect. Do not just use an advertising medium once and discard it. Find ways on how you will be able to use it for several times. You may use a similar approach on each advertising tool and create customer familiarity with the advertising tool as well as the product or service you are advertising. Think of several successful promotions and advertisement such as for Energizer batteries and others.
• An effective Internet marketing promotion and advertising have variations. Do not just stick with a single ad format. Change the color, text, and the message of your advertisements but do not alter its feature character. The alterations must be done in the consideration of a long-lasting ad effect.

They are what we call as professionals. They are individuals with recognized knowledge and expertise on a certain field of endeavor. They are entitled by law and existing policies to practice their respective professions. They are worthy of the standards of their profession, giving them legal licenses to practice their respective professions. Thus, they are the “authorities” in their respective field of endeavors.
Along with their tag as professionals, these individuals are bounded by proper etiquette with regards to their actions and behaviors. As professionals, they are expected to deliver required services to the public and at the same time deal with other individuals and professionals in an appropriate manner. They are looked upon as leaders; thus they are expected to act as real professionals when dealing with their work and other people.
Professionals are everywhere—in various construction sites, real estate markets, hospitals, county courts, and other places. Even the Internet marketing industry is surrounded by various professionals—Internet business consultants, web content writers, software developers, web designers, and others.
Thus, the Internet marketing is a pool of web-based professionals who are working not just for their personal interest but for the development of the industry as well. But what does it take to be considered as one of the Internet marketing professionals?
As previously mentioned, the definition of a professional revolves around the concept of “an individual who has recognized knowledge and expertise on a certain field of endeavor”. As a professional, you are considered to be worthy of the standards of your profession. You need to show to the world that you are really worth to be considered as a professional through creating a professional image.
However, building a professional image is not as easy as you think. In fact, it entails a great deal of time and effort. Your knowledge and expertise is not just the working factor here. You must also consider the conduct of your business in a professional manner, especially on the Internet where you are dealing with clients whom you do not know and you do not see.
Now, how will you start building your professional image? Consider the following aspects in creating your image on the Internet marketing industry.
• Your attitude is among the most essential aspects in creating your professional image on the Internet. It can either make you or kill your career in an instant. The manner you deal with your fellow Internet marketers, clients, and the concerns they want you to answer such as questions, comments, and compliments will reflect on your professionalism as a reputable Internet marketer.
• Courtesy is also an important factor. As previously mentioned, you are dealing with people whom you are not seeing and you do not know. Despite of that gap, make your “unseen” clients feel that they are very much appreciated. You must be respectful and warm in accommodating their queries and concern. Even in words, always express your gratitude to them.
• Honesty is the best policy. Do not mislead your web-based clients or else you will lose them. Remember that you have to earn their trust for you to build long-term relationships with them.
• When dealing with your clients, always go above and beyond their expectations. Always listen to the concerns of your clients. As a professional, you are expected to hear from your clients even if you know and understand most of the aspects of your Internet marketing business.
• Unsatisfied clients always complain about poor technical support. You need to make yourself personally available to assist your clients with their needs. If possible, respond to their emails and return their call as fast as possible.
• Although it is a loss if you will refund the money of unsatisfied clients, you need to. Do not argue with the issue or blast nasty things unto them. Always be apologetic, courteous, and know why they are unsatisfied. Remember the rule that “customers are always right”, even if you feel that they are wrong.
• Your website is the reflection of yourself and your Internet marketing business. It must be professional-looking, complete with product and contact information, and easy ordering protocol.
• Be respectful to your fellow Internet marketers. Keep in mind that you must build a friendly competition on the business and not on personal preferences.

There are a lot of different types of membership sites. Most have this in common, they need a lot of information, in order to, be a good membership site.

Private Label Rights and Mailing Lists
Having a mailing list is a great way to make a lot of money. The problem is that it can take awhile to build one and once you have one you have to keep the people that are on the list, happy.
Here again, acquiring PLR products comes into play. You can find so many great products out there, that you can use to build your mailing list.
You can even take a product and improve it a great deal. That will make it a lot more appealing to the people that will join your list, just for the product.
Maybe, if the product is a little vague, go into things in more detail or explain it better. It won't be that much work, but it will add a lot more quality to it.
There is always the debate. Should I give away the product, in order to, build my list? Should I sell the product and build the list at the same time and risk not getting as many subscribers?
There's some compelling arguments for both. The main reason that I don't like giving it away for free is because I don't want a bunch of freebie seekers that will never pay for any information.
If you've got a list of people that have bought from you in the past. You can't beat that. Once you have broken down that barrier and they trust you, that is huge.
They have proven that they will reach into their wallet for you and that is the first and most important step towards being a repeat customer. Most people never get past that first, crucial step, so when they do, it's huge.
Plus, you make money from the sales. It's always good to see money coming into your account, especially if a person is just starting out. That really helps to build confidence.

The third part of the course
Using Private Label Rights for Content
One thing that you need to have if you're going to have a successful website is great content. There is only so much time in a day and a person doesn't have time to write it all.
Using those free articles from article directories for content, just isn't a very good idea. One is that these articles are being used by so many other people for content, it's just duplicate content and you aren't allowed to alter the article in anyway, to make it more unique.
You also have to have a link to the author's website or websites. You don't want people clicking on those links because it will take their attention away from your website.
If you're not going to write the content yourself or use free articles, there is another solution. That of course, is using PLR products for content.
Using PLR products for content is great for many reasons. One is that you don't have to write it, but there are other reasons. PLR products are usually higher quality than free articles and you don't have to put links to the author's websites.
Another big thing is that you can edit or change the content. That's huge because you can take some things out and add some things. You can also add keywords that you're targeting.
Another way that you can use PLR content is for articles. It's great to have articles to help generate traffic to your website. You just research the keywords that you want to use, put them in the article and add or get rid of anything that you want.

My last post, I gave an introduction on Private Label Rights (PLR)

Selling Private Label Rights Products
There are a ton of different ways to make money with PLR products. It all depends on a person's situation and what they want to do with them.
I'm a big believer in having multiple streams of income, online. Too many people just try and make money with one strategy and when they don't make enough with it, they give up. If they had been getting income from different areas, it would have been enough to make a living online.
That is why I use PLR products to make money in a lot of different areas. The first thing that you can do is resell the product. Hopefully, they allow you the right to remove their name and place your name as the author.
This is important because if you want to become known as an expert in a market, whatever it may be, having a bunch of products, helps you greatly. It's important to become known as an expert and be known as a guru in your market.
It's important to be known as a guru in your market for many reasons. One is that it gets easier to sell products because of your reputation. Another reason is that it gets a lot easier to get joint venture partners and the ability to broker deals is a lot easier.
If a person wants to leave the original author there, to stay, that is all right as well. The reason that this can be a good thing to do is if you acquire PLR rights to a product to sell from a guru in a market. You might not care about becoming a guru in a market and just want to make money. Go ahead and sell it with the guru as the author.
Basically, all you have to do is write a sales page or hire someone to do it for you. Then you just drive traffic to the sales page or do joint ventures with people who have mailing lists in that market.
If you're worried about competing against other people who might be selling the product, don't worry too much. The Internet is a huge place, there are plenty of potential customers out there.
