If You Want to Make Money Online, There
Are Several Routes to Take...
|
So... Which Fork In The Road Do You Take?
AND... Where Do You Start?
"Take the Road Less Traveled and Start At the beginning of course!"
The biggest problem that new people to internet marketing have is that there is so much stuff out there it makes your head swim. And then you get sidetracked and end up doing nothing or worse, making even less than nothing. Being one of those who's beginning in internet marketing was just like that, I speak with authority on the matter. Now that I've been around the neighborhood
awhile, I'll tell you what I told my own kid (he's 20)...
Here's what I recommend...
Go here, (GoogleMoneyPro) read the page and forget the rest. GoogleMoneyPro gives you step by step instructions that even a high schooler can follow and have you making money in short order because of it. There is no "program" to sell or be a part of. It's
just learning how to market on the web and you don't even need a webpage. (There's no nickel and dime
stuff later.) I know an 11th grader that's making $130.00 per day after 6 months and he's doing that and going to school and having a little bit of a social life. (He did make a D in Chemistry.)
Hope that helps!

Go to the Google Money Pro or do it this way... Either way works, but below is the route you would want to go if you like to read a lot and like learning new things. Your Choice!
Or Go and Build Yourself
A Money Making Website. 
Click This Box.
Domain, Aweber & Squeeze Page Setup
If you want to set up a capture page that makes you money, you will need to get a domain name ($1.99 - $10.19 per year) and $14.95 - $19.95 per month to maintain (that would be for your Aweber Account). However, having your own "personally touched" squeeze page far more than pays for itself in increased opt-ins and sales. Also Aweber will get your e-mails
delivered to "yahoo" e-mail addresses where SuperSponders will not. That in itself will more than pay for your Aweber service when you get your first referral with a yahoo e-mail address. If you don't have the budget for Aweber, you can do this with the $5.95 Silver package with SuperSponders.
But, by far the best thing to do to make money on the web is use Site Build It! It takes you step by step thru not only the site building process but through the marketing process as well. Well worth the time and cost. It will cut more than a year off your learning curve.

Other things you need to do to start markeing on the web. (If you don't use Site Build It!)
If you don't have an AlertPay account yet, go here to set it up.
It's easy and this is how you get Paid!
Set Up Your AlertPay Account
Below you will find detailed instructions on how to set up your own Squeeze Page, Domain Name and Aweber AutoResponder.
Here is the place to go to get an easy and trackable capture page. This is the best way I know of to do it without having to learn a weeks worth of stuff. It has the added benefit (and valuable benefit) of being able to do tracking on it. Also, once you have these set up, go to the "Affiliate Link" in each and sign up as an affiliate. Then give your affiliate link (as I have done) to your referrals
that
want this service. You will develop another stream of income from your referrals to the services below.
First, you will need to set up an Aweber Autoresponder Account.
The url is:
http://Aweber.com
Please Note: Setting up an Aweber account is an option. You may also use your SuperSponders account. The differences between the 2 options are explained above. This is your choice and your choice to make. I will help you with either.
Second, set up your Squeeze Page. (Note: Right now I'm offering to host your site for free at my site. This way you can have a personalized capture page for FREE! This is much better than the replicated webpage that 1000 other people will have! If you want this, you need to get a domain name and an Aweber account.)
If you want to do this on your own, one place you can go to is YourSqueezePage.com, the url is: http://www.yoursqueezepage.com This service will cost $20.00 per month.
Note: These are OPTIONS. You can use the free capture page and autoresponder provided by FOCS! In my opinion, if you have the budget for $20.00 per month, then do the free page I'm offering and Aweber. If you don't then do the free one from FOCS till you make some money then do this. I can also set up a personalized web page and use your SuperSponders autoresponder. It is your choice on how you want to do this.
Third, set up
a domain name and "Forward and Mask" it.
Go to: GoDaddy http://www.godaddy.com - Domain Registration
You can get a dot com for $10.19 per year or a dot info for $1.99 per year. (hint: dot coms are more proffessional.)
To Forward and Mask, simply purchase your domain (See below about tips on choosing a domain name.)
With that done, follow these steps.
1. Login to your GoDaddy account.
2. Near the top left corner of the GoDaddy page is a Green Menu Choice that reads "Domains.
3. Hold cursor over box ("Domains") and a drop down menu will appear. Click "My Domains."
4. Your Domain will appear in the next window as a "blue link." Click it.
5. In the CENTER of the next screen you will see the following
Click on "Domain is not forwarded"
6. You will notice 2 tabs. One says "Forwarding" (which you will be on) the other says
"Masking" which you will click to mask with your domain.
Check "Enable," Forward to: your Squeeze Page address (ie. http://mysqueezepage.com/?2222
Or if I am hosting your site it will be http://mlmoverdrive.com/team/"yourname")
Redirect Type: Check "301 Moved Permanently"
Now Click the "Masking Tab" Check "Mask Domain" and in the "Masked Title" line put the URL that you bought into the box in this format. http://myrealcooldomainname.com
Be SURE to hit OK both times that it appears and it will be set.
You may have to wait as much as 2 days for ithe forwarding to work.
After you have set up your domain, I HIGHLY recommend that you set up an email account at GoDaddy using your .com or .info address. Again, it is much more professional to have an email address that reads:
mary@freetomakemoney.com than it is to have mary18473@yahoo.com See the difference?
And now for AWEBER instructions!
AWEBER Instructions
Here is the Aweber code to copy Dan's Campaigns (or "List"):
1. Initial Opt-in Campaign: copy_initial-f12aa-$F$B
2. I Qualify Campaign: copy_iqualify-7afd6-$F$B
and here are the instructions to copy these to your Aweber Account.
1. Copy both campaigns (or "List") into your Awcber account. You will need to set up 2 campaigns in your Aweber account to accommodate these campaigns. (Name One "Initial Opt In" and the other "I Qualify Opt In")
2. After copying the campaigns, go to your Aweber account and edit your "global fields" with your domain name and edit your signature field. Then "TEST" your messages and make sure they are perfect. (Click links, and read them through carefully to ensure that EVERYTHING points to YOUR website.)
3. Watch Tutorial videos on Aweber to learn how it all works. Folks... here's the deal... if you are serious about starting and making money in internet marketing, then you need to become a "Master" at using Aweber! THIS (your autoresponder) is your bread and butter. All roads in internet marketing lead to and from your autoresponder. That is why I recommend you do Aweber instead of SuperSponders. (But you can move to Aweber later, after the internet has made
you money. BUT, you will want to move there at some point, either now or a few months down the road. (It is the best.)
4. This stuff is not rocket science! Most everything you need to learn can be found in the help file and tutorial videos and by simply clicking on things to see what is there. If you can use email, then you can do this. Aweber also has live 24/7 support and I suggest you call them often if you need to.
5. Additional Notes You Need to know.
A. Go to Aweber and try to do just that. Don't be afraid to hit buttons - you won't break anything.
Your autoresponder is your lifeblood in this business and you really need to learn it. If I just do
it for you, I am not doing you a favor. So I want you to spend 5-10 hours if it take that to set up
those two campaigns (list). If you need to call Aweber support then do so. If after that you still
can't get it, you and I will walk thru it on the phone.
B. Here is the address of your site: http://mlmoverdrive.com/team/esp
Your "initial" list will forward to http://learnfreecashonline.com/iqualify.html
Your "I Qualify" list will forward to: http://learnfreecashonline.com/thankyou.html
Your "Already Subscribed" page is: http://learnfreecashonline.com/already.html
(These are actuall addresses - yours will be http:// YourDomain.com/iqualify.html etc.)
How Do I Copy Dan's Aweber Messages?
To Copy Messages With the Code I am giving you:
copy_initial-f12aa-$F$B (this one forwards to http:// YourDomain.com/iqualify.html )
copy_iqualify-7afd6-$F$B (this one forwards to http:// YourDomain.com/thankyou.html )
If you've been given a campaign code by someone else - and you have... see the lines above - so that you can copy/use their messages: (Like what is directly above.)
Log into your account and go to "Messages" > "Follow Up" . Make sure you're working in the appropriate list. Make a campaign if you haven't done so already to copy the above campaigns into. Name one of them "initial_opt_in"
and the other "i_qualify_opt_in" (Or something like it.) If you can't figure out how to do it, call Awber support and a customer service rep will walk you thru it. Note: They like for you to have tried on your own before calling them. The tutorials are great and should be enough to get you through this step.
Scroll to the end of the page, paste the campaign sharing code into the text box that appears there and click the "Load Campaign" button. (Hint: It's Red)
|
|
If you don't see the text box there, click the dropdown menu, choose "Campaign Sharing Off" and click  . After the page reloads the text box will be available. |
Now for some finishing touches...
-
Turn OFF the "Verified Opt-in" Option. (Under "List Settings" > "Verified Opt- In")
Also in the "List Settings" > "Settings" Menu on each campaign, change your webpage URL from http://MyDomainName.com to your actual domain name.
-
Set up your "Signature" in the "List Settings" > "Global Field" menu.
You will also need to change the URL in the Global fields that you find at the bottom of this page. Right now it will read this: http://FreeMoneyIsGood.com & http://FreeMoneyIsGood.com/iqualify.html You will need to change them to read whatever your domain name is. For instance, if your domain name is www.veryfree.com, you will simply replace the words "MyDomainName" with your domain
name: http://veryfree.com & http://veryfree.com/iqualify.html
NOTE: If you do not do this step, you will be referring people to some other site! And they will be signing up under me. SO YOU MUST DO THIS! This is very important!
-
Edit and Test Every message and make sure they are perfect! If you do not do this and your referrals are sent to my page and then sign up under me... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Nuff said.
Here is a test. If you have read this far, it shows me that you are serious about this. So I want you to send me an e-mail right now and in the subject line I want you to put "Dan, I read this far!" I will only build sites for those who send me this e-mail. Otherwise it is a complete waste of my time. I refuse to help people who will not help themselves. Does
that make sense to you? :o)
Choosing a Domain Name
If you are going to be getting your own domain name for your FOCS
webpage, be sure to read this below about the subject.
Choosing a Domain Name: General Guidelines
In
the physical world, you can distinguish a business because of its
structure, window displays, or signs. You can tell that a bank is a
bank, or a clothing store is indeed a clothing store.
In the Internet, however, it is an entirely different story
altogether. Your domain name is the only clue to your online business.
You do not have visual clues: no location, no look, and no store
design. Instead, users have to type in a word or a set of words to
reach your site. Your prospective visitor has no way of knowing what
your site is all about until he/she finds it and reads its contents.
Who can ever tell that Amazon.com sells books? Or that Excite is a
search engine?
Your domain name can spell your success on the Internet. A good
domain name is the best asset you can ever have. It can make your
business stand out in the crowd, or just float aimlessly in space.
The need to provide immediate clues to an online business led to
the prevalence of generic domain names. Generic names instantly provide
the user with an idea of what a business is all about, what to expect
and look for in a site. For instance, Etoys.com is a toy store.
The temptation of the generic name has been so powerful; that some
companies even paid ridiculously high prices to get the name they want.
The domains Loans.com and Wines.com were both bought for $3 million
each. Telephone.com was acquired for $1.75 million, while Bingo.com
sold for $1.1 million.
However, generic names do not necessarily create the "buzz" that
you'd like surrounding your website. Branding has always been about
proper names: McDonald's did not name their store Hamburger. Hertz is
not called Car Rental. FedEx is not Mail Carrier. Kodak is not
Photographs. Microsoft is not Computer Software.
For better branding results, your domain name should be memorable
and easy to remember. Remember the following tips when creating a
domain name.
§ The domain name should be short
§ The domain name should be simple
§ It should be suggestive of your business category
§ It should be unique
§ It should be easy to interpret and pronounce
§ It should be personalized
§ It should not be difficult to spell
§ It should not be difficult to remember
§ It should use common spellings ie "for" not "4", "and" not "&",
§ It should not have confusing words... pour - poor - pore
§ It should not have IM code words... lol,omg,wtf (that's vulgar anyway), ttfn, ttyl ect.
Domain names can be registered through http://godaddy.com
You can register for 1 to 10 years -prices can vary anywhere from $10 to $20 per year. Most web hosting
companies, as explained later, will handle the registration process for
you, but make sure that you are properly listed as the owner of the
domain when it is registered. If you have registered a domain name for
a specific period, make sure you renew it in time. You can be surprised
at the number of cases, where site owners have let a domain name slip
by if they have not renewed in time.
This is our domain name registrar you can use: http://godaddy.com
This is probably the best & easiest autoresponder out there: Aweber
It's affiliated with GoDaddy.com so you will get the same service and a better price.
