Stage 1

You decide to start a business
Phenomenal! Keep an open mind and see which of the 5 possibilities

of the last chapter resonate with you. If ‘Data entry’ does, you are beyond the scope of this book. If nothing does, you are right on track… you need exposure, which ‘Systems’ will provide.

You become a part of some system

Now, here your options are determined by what you plan to achieve online. If you are a network marketer or plan to tap into the wealth of time and money there, first understand the basics with a free video course you can study here.

If you would rather go the affiliate route or if you have a product to sell, your orientation will be set right by theClickbank system. They have excellent resources to learn from and a huge vendor base from where you can pick up products to represent without paying a penny!

Before you go any further, click and signup at both the links above. They are free and have no hidden agendas. I want you to save yourself information overload and set yourself on a proven guided path… therefore check out these sites. There are many other affiliate banks like Clickbank, so once you are familiar you’ll see the pattern.

What was the importance of a System again?

You set up your site/s, lead capture pages, even a self-hosted blog Now this is action time. Your research is over and you have to set

up something online from where interested people will buy and you will earn commissions. There are 5 steps involved:

1. Buy yourself a domain name
2. Buy yourself entry into a system
3. Buy hosting space and autoresponders
4. Buy the mindset building toolkit
5. Latch onto some marketable product lines

As I mentioned on the pyramid chart, your investment in all these would be less than $100 and you will be good to roll. The details of the above 5 steps are in the next chapter. For now, let’s absorb the bigger picture.

Stage 2

 

You set up presence on social media

Start by setting up your free profiles on facebook, twitter, youtube, linkedin and one forum in your industry of choice. Let’s say you’re into Chinese food, search google for “forum for chinese food” and you’ll probably findhttp://community.travelchinaguide.com/chinesefood/ where lots of people exchange topical ideas and resources.

Watch this video about putting it all together

This is great as it will give you a sense of belonging and you can ask questions and grow. To get a sample of what to fill out on your other social profiles, click each one on the previous page and see mine. Copy the drift… it works. Do it.Write to me wherever in doubt.

You learn how to get traffic to your site/s

Now this is THE MAIN job. You will learn many techniques using the system and I recommend that to be the best way to go about it. I will give you 5 very important tips though:

1. Every traffic technique works. Take 2/3 and stick with them.
2. Spend 80% of your time on traffic techniques; 20% on other stuff… once you have set up things.

3. Traffic through blogs, search engines, articles and videos is of a permanent nature so it puts your income on auto-pilot after a little hard work initially.

4. If you have $197, and want to get started fast, buy this traffic product from Clickbank. It is the work of a prodigy!
5. Many people will sell many traffic strategies to you. Be careful what you pay for as mostly everything is recycled stuff. Only buy whatever digs deeper in your chosen technique.

Notice, I have not attempted to recycle anything here. Once you go through the step-by-step training inthe system you will be able to choose the techniques you like and stick with them.

How to set up a residual income business

For sake of completeness, here is a list of various traffic techniques, each linked to a product that digs deep into specializing in that strategy. Feel free to explore:

# Email Marketing
# Video Marketing
# Content / Article Marketing # PayPerClick Marketing # Blogging & SEO
# Keyword Research
# Forum Marketing
# Twitter Marketing
# Viral ListBuilders
# Traffic Exchanges
# Ezine / Solo Ads
# Free Classifieds

Of course you will not need any of that specialized stuff right now… but come back to this page when you get past the basics. For now all you need will be covered inthe system.

How will following the system benefit you? You will follow the proven path of successful people and spend money only on the things that will help you at the right points in time. Did you read that article on the system mentioned in the last chapter?

Moreover a system will help you learn in a structured way, so your earnings will start faster. Do you value that? I hope you do because behind every freebie is a hidden agenda and getting people on a system is mine, with this ebook ;-)

Having cleared the air there, let’s move on…

 

Stage 3

 

You develop some freebies or get hold of Private Label Rights (PLR) for some items you can give away to build relationships

Now you’ll recall from the last chapter, relationships form the key to online sales. But given the fact that you will need – and have – a ton of traffic, you can’t possibly know them all by name. So here’s where you let them know you! Pretty much like a celebrity.

You have a ‘relationship’ with Britney Spears because she gives you great sound. And you might buy what Britney recommends. Same with you. Give away free stuff that your market (Chinese food lovers, maybe) will find useful and like. That will build your credibility and make the cash register ring.

But you might not always have the ability to develop a product. So you can buy rights to it (PLR) and this is something you can search for and acquire. Be sure your PLR product fulfils some needs of your audience!

How to put your content on 1000+ blogs

 

You buy / develop a product to resell

The next step is to have something concrete to move to people who are willing to buy. Again, here’s where you can move your own product, or an affiliate product, or a product you are passionate about, or a network marketing opportunity.

I for one am passionate about wealth education for I feel it is every individual’s responsibility to be better educated on their financial options – and stay in the company of people who can guide them right. So that’s what I propose to people who want to know. I use a video to help me here.

You could search up products up your lane or check with people at forums. Skype me at sandeep.nath if wealth education resonates with you too.

Stage 4

 

You start backlinking your websites so traffic starts coming through search engines

This is when you start automating your online machinery so it pulls in traffic while you sleep. It could take some investments and you would get details in the SEO and Keyword sections of page 16.

Basically backlinks ‘create a web’ around your various pages on your blog, youtube, facebook, articles etc.

 

Backlinking automation doesn’t get better than this

And so your money site is like the ‘spider’ which walks over to the prospect that has been captured by the intricately spun web of backlinks that connect all your web 2.0 properties…

I know this sounds evil (!) but hey, TV ads do exactly that to you too. Backed by billboards, press ads, promotional offers and whatever else. They bait you in and get you to relate with them. That’s commerce. This is e-commerce. And frankly, this is a lot more transparent. And this is also why it calls for training and systems ;-)

How to spend time smartly with your blog
Stage 5

 

You develop a network of associates or a mastermind group to sell your products

As you start subscribing to other internet marketers lists (which is a good idea as they will send you many freebies to bait you… and you can learn from them) you will come across many stories of people who made $100,000 and more in 24 hours. These are not necessarily lies.

What you must know is that they did not do that alone. Over a few years they have built a large enough following and circle of influence which started to work in their favor and boom, the incomes happened.

If you have your own products this becomes very critical for you to develop. If you’re a network marketer that’s your focus anyway. Details of this are obviously beyond a ‘first steps’ book but here is some jargon you would need to get familiar with to know if you’re diverting time studying final-year stuff.

Joint Ventures (JV). Mastermind Sites. List Swaps. Webinar Hosting. Teleconferencing. Master Affiliates. These are some I can think of from the top of my head.

Which is the best place to start

 

The best place naturally is with the action-lines of Stage 1.

Buy yourself a domain name
A domain name is the address or URL that anyone wanting to see your site will type into the address bar.

Address bar
Search bar

 

You can buy this at sites like www.Godaddy.com or www.Namecheap.com and they cost about $10 per year. Godaddy has suggestions you add-tocart a lot of stuff. You don’t need any of it. Just keep clicking ‘No, thanks’.

Is it important to have an address?

Is it important to have a door number to your house? It’s pretty much like that. You might want to book yourname.com as the first address you start out with. Where it goes can be changed.

Here’s a cool, quick resource to check if your name is available

Starting with yourname.com ensures you own your name and that’s never a waste. Also, you can eventually host your blog at yourname.com so that people identify and start relating with you. If you have a company name that’s fine too.

A really great idea is also to have the words people would find you by, in your name. For instance ‘chinesefoodexpert.com’ would be a good one for our running example. Search engines search these words and so your domain could rank better using this naming strategy.

Buy yourself entry into a system
All right, I have rammed the need in pretty hard in the last chapter but here’s what I must clarify.

In case you clicked on any of the system links earlier you would be taken to the MLSP system I use to coach networkers primarily. Since the internet is the mother of all networks, this is really the best system to plug yourself into.

However, if you have your own products or want to focus on affiliate marketing without managing a whole lot of scalability, you’ll get some great training fromClickbank Pirate (CBP).

Both MLSP and CBP come with money back guarantees and I stand testimony to that.

 

MLSP starts with a $30 DVD that gives great perspective and one month of system usage comes free. After that the running

 

Excuse me, who is a Network Marketer?

costs are $49 per month but it pays for itself (this is through in-built affiliate-ships - you’ll learn about them as we go along).

CBP comes at $67 for a fully built up and running system, with a recurring cost of $37.

The training at MLSP is extraordinary and from 7-figure earners groomed by the system itself. CBP has stock training on traffic strategies, but it is really easy to get started with.

Are there other systems?

Of course. There would be a few dozen. But would you dig deeper into what’s working and start earning… or would you window shop lots of websites only to return to this later?

There’s lots to learn and apply in the back-offices of both MLSP and CBP and remember, your money is safe if dissatisfied.

Buy hosting space and autoresponders
Now if your domain name was like your door number, hosting

space is like your plot of land. It is always a good idea to own your own property. Free hosting sites can be evicted just as easily as a tenant can be… even without notice!

Once you have got your land you will be ready to build your house (blog / websites etc). Your autoresponder will be like the door. It will help your visitors (leads) enter the insides of your site (back-office), through a form that brings them on your list.

For example you might have entered your name and email in a form to get access to this book. That action of yours brought you into my autoresponder, which enables me to send you mails whenever I choose. I can even program a sequence of newsletters or mailers so you get the right info at the right times in the right doses!

Robust hosting (Hostgator) costs about $10 a month and the world’s most efficientAutoresponder

(Aweber) about $20 /month.

Just drop by at their sites by clicking
the links above and fill out the forms
that give you ownership.

How to use Internet Marketing to build any business

Here’s one thing you must know though… if you follow the MLSP system, a great set of ‘getting started’ videos will guide you to do all this in a methodical fashion… so everything fits in easily into your mind.

If you take up CBP, they will provide you with a hosted blog and you may not need your own hosting. Your own autoresponders are always an asset though, because that way you own the list.

If you don’t own the list you might still get a lot of traffic (and make some sales too), but there’s no scope for repeat purchases. Now think about it… do you usually go back to the same store for your purchases or to a new one every time? Same online. People on your list can buy other stuff from you!

Buy the mindset building toolkit

Remember the part about mindset way back in chapter 2? An entrepreneur thinks differently to a customer. And nobody instills you with the entrepreneurial mindset better thanMike Dillard, with his bookMagnetic Sponsoring.

True, this book is a little skewed towards training network marketers, but that’s only because they are generally the ones who are ordinary folks starting a business. Now you are too… and so it is a great read! Click the link above to pick your copy.

Hear a 60-minute interview of Mike Dillard

Latch onto some marketable product lines
When you buy anything from Mike Dillard you get to represent

everything he sells – as an affiliate. So it’s like getting access to the entire set of tools every gold-digger needs. And that’s a great place to start making product-based money!

With MLSP, you will also have another 15 streams of affiliate based income… many of which are the deeper-digging tools under each of the traffic techniques listed on page 16. When you move in the orbit of seasoned marketers, you will find them receptive to these tools and since you know about them (most others do not) they will consider you a guru, which others are not ;-)

CBP also builds in new streams of affiliate income from various Clickbank products every month. Once you learn how to effectively get traffic to these, you can get traffic to anything you want to market online!

Start selling shovels and you can start selling gold ;-)

 

Have you checked out Traffic Ultimatum?
How does the money-part work

 

27 pages into this book I am now sharing with you the part that kept me away for a long while. Insecurity.

 

Is the internet a safe place? Will I get paid for my effort? Can my credit card be misused? What if this… what if that…

This is what I call self-sabotage. It was then that I read the wise saying, “Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.”. And through meditation and mind control I began to lower the intensity of my fears… and abundance had no choice but to manifest.

So what’s sabotaging you? Why do you find yourself NOT gravitating towards the tools that could make you wildly productive? Why do you spend your days tapping away the same keyboard expecting different results? What are you doing different today – with a different guide or method – that could change things around for you?

Are you afraid of being conned or losing money? Why are you afraid? Do you own the universe? My grandfather used to say, “if I lose something to someone, it was probably his before I took it away from him”. How about bearing that attitude for a few days or weeks and seeing the results? I did too.

Avoiding money traps to create wealth

Philosophy apart, the internet is here to stay and e-commerce is as real as you and me. Now that I am habituated to swiping my credit card online I think no more of it than I do at a petrol bunk. You will too.

It is however a good idea to open an account with Paypal or Alertpay. These serve as online banks, accepting your payments from others and allowing you to withdraw the monies into your bank account.

They also have the provision for you to pay anyone by credit card (which is attached to them) without revealing your credit card details.

Registration for both is free and they charge per withdrawal. When you are earning money it doesn’t pinch to pay them. A small tip, use a new email address to set up these accounts.

True wealth is when you don’t know how much you earn
What will get me real results

 

The answer in 2 words? Your goal.

If you know why you are online and what you want to achieve from here you will get it. It’s just like setting up shop in a mall. If your goal is to make $50,000 a year you might invest in a photocopying machine and rent a corner where you do your thing. If however your goal is to earn $5,000,000 from the same mall, you would probably set up a jewelry store.

Now obviously the investments and operational modalities for both will be different. And here’s where you need acoach.

But the starting steps (what you have been reading) are pretty much the same. And the attitude you need to build the business is also the same. And what’s that? One word. Consistency.

You can’t be hot and hungry one day and cold and damp the next. Sure, you will have your moods, but let your internet time be your internet time. Know what you have to finish every day. Start with the biggest jobs and then come to the smaller ones. This will save you time. Follow this advice for everything you do… and you will be more productive!

Results are a given from whatever initiative you take up online. E-commerce is just a baby right now and you’re lucky to be alive today!

Success comes in small steps

By the same token however, you must know that you too are like that little baby taking its first steps. DO NOT be disheartened if you see no results in a long time. It can take many months for backlinks and human relationships to develop online.

What you need to know is exactly what a baby knows… the fact that others can walk! Going by the ‘social proof’ available to the baby, it does not get disheartened even though it falls several times during the process. Likewise, with you.

You might feel you are draining away money every month but know this… when it comes, it comes big. If you’re with MLSP or CBP, you will anyway keep getting some monies consistently if you just follow the steps.

So have a good time… and turn over to the last page…

 

Remember keyword research tells you what your buyers want
What is my next step

This may sound weird but your next step is to quickly read through this ebook again and make jottings about what you have to do. Be clear on what you want and what you can give in return for having it (money, time).

Maybewrite to me. I am always glad to help people who seek my advice. Skype sandeep.nath

Operationally, you know exactly what your next steps are (page 21). So all that remains to be said is… wish you a profitable journey!
