4) A Method (~$30 per month)
Now, you do not need to follow any one particular method of Internet Marketing, but I strongly recommend choosing one to start with, and sticking with it. I will describe several methods later, and you can choose the one that is best suited for you. Usually, these will cost about $30 per month, and for your money you will get step-by-step instructions on how to succeed with the method.
What I like best about these is that you can cancel anytime. Learn what you need to learn at the beginning, cancel, and put it into practice. The only downside to this is that you will lose access to the member forums. Although I’ve read everything at The Keyword Academy, I still pay the $33/month membership because the forums and tools they provide are of consistent value and easily save me more than an hour of searching for answers (and deciding if the sources can be trusted) elsewhere. I also continually learn of new tools and methods for greater success.
A method is not a required cost, but definitely one that’s worthwhile if you have more money than time. For me, 15-30 minutes of web development / teaching pays for my month’s membership, so it’s a no-brainer.
