When
I purchased my first computer over 10 years ago, I knew I wanted to put
it to work and make money with it some how. But I knew nothing about
computers or the Internet. I knew nothing about network marketing,
search engine marketing, or even how to create my own web site. I knew
nothing about e-mail marketing e-mail leads or how to set up an e-mail
list.
I began searching the Internet for ideas. I quickly learned that
you could join several affiliate programs and they would supply you
with a free affiliate web page. Unfortunately getting good quality
traffic to these affiliate web pages was somewhat of a challenge. And
the Major search engines wouldn’t even list my new affiliate web pages.
So once again I was left searching the Internet for ideas.
I kept reading over and over again to get your own domain name and
create your own web site. Then incorporate all your affiliate links
into your new web site. Create a theme and join affiliate programs
related to that theme. But I knew nothing about creating a web site.
And what the heck is HTML?
I began creating web pages on Microsoft publisher. These were very
simple pages and now when I look back at them I have to laugh. They
were anything but professional and publisher actually made many errors
in the HTML code. But this was all just part of the learning curve. You
have to learn to walk before you run.
Eventually I started writing my own HTML using Microsoft word and
saving it as a simple HTML text file. To this day all my web page’s are
created using word.
Since starting my online business I have probably joined 100s of affiliate program opportunities,
re-modeled my web page over 50 times and spend more than 4 hours a day
reading and learning how to further promote my sites to make more
money. All this was done on my own with little to no training from
others.
When I started I knew nothing and now my business is getting
between 5-10 commission checks in the mail every month generated from
sales or leads coming from my 6 web sites.
I get people that say to me all the time. I cannot do that on my
own. Well if I can do it you can too. It just takes a little patients
and the will to learn. If you want to make money online you need to
act. You need to search for information and read all about how to
create your own web site. Then you need to search for information on
how to promote, advertise, and most of all how to get good search
engine rankings.
