If You're Just Starting Out On The Internet...

Avoid forgetting your only 2 objectives in online marketing:

1. Get the email address
1a. If you're on the cutting edge, get them to opt in to your text list

2. Keep contacting them with offers until they buy or opt out
2a. Yes, I know, you have to educate, entertain or inspire to keep them interested

If you can't build a simple web page, get traffic to it and build a list,
DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL YOU CAN!

Period. End of story. Done.
Look at several of the $50/mo systems and pick one.
They all have templates for your squeeze page.
You might even be able to find a better way.
Like hosting your squeezepage on your upline's account.

Do not start a blog, unless it's free.
You can run a blog right here on BN.
You can get hosting from your system.
Do not buy any courses. You don't need them.
All of the systems have tons of training.
You're paying for it, use it!
There's a buttload of training here on BN, too.

Your one and only mission is to get traffic to that squeeze page.
Nothing else.
Then test everything on it. Plenty of free info on that.
Track everything.

I can hear you attraction marketing junkies screaming already.
Knock it off. I know what I'm talking about.

But Dave, where am I supposed to get traffic if I don't have my own
self-hosted WordPress blog, Facebook, Squidoo, Hubpages,
Myspace and LinkedIn accounts?!

What will I do? How will I attract customers and partners?
I don't want to be the hunter, I want to be the hunted!
Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!

I'm glad you asked, grasshopper.
You will chronicle your adventures daily in your free blog.
You will post to forums here on BN.
You'll make videos and post them to YouTube and here on BN.
Then you'll get a Twitter account so that your BN posts will be
tweeted automatically.
By the way, that's a heavy part-time workload right there.
Try it, you'll see.
Then imagine adding on trying to learn all that other crap.
You will join ABN and take advantage of all of the training, etc. you'll get.

And you'll write articles.
Why?
Because in order to write decent articles, you have to study your subject.
You can write series' of articles and post a segment daily.
Articles usually take the longest to get good results, but they keep on giving
long after you write them.
And the whole time you'll be gaining expertise and building your reputation.
Hopefully making a little jack along the way.

This is the only place you need to go for article training, killer tools and a
source of links that will get attention to your squeeze page.

Ignore all others.

If you do only those things, and your autoship costs you $100/mo, you'll be out
almost $200/mo. That's $2400 your first year. And most of what you're
doing is low cost or free. Think about that. That may be a lot to you. And it'll
probably take you at least a year to make any money. Say $1000/mo, which
would still only be $800 profit.

If you add hosting and a bunch of other crap into the mix, you'll be dead
broke or deep in debt faster than you'd believe possible. You must get into
profit quickly, or you're doomed. Protect your capital.

Jeez, I feel like Adam Taha, writing a novel like this.
Speaking of Adam, if you wanna hear how rough it can get and
what it takes to make it from someone who knows, look him up.

Well there you have it. I've got the scars to prove that this isn't just my opinion.
It's a dog eat dog industry, and you're the runt.

Disregard my advice at your peril.
It's comin' straight from the DarkSide.
