Ok i will try to be as descriptive as possible. I'm still in noob category, but puzzle pieces are steadily fitting in .
Backbone of every beginner method is to make someone else rich, and take piece of pie in progress.
Internet marketing is same as offline marketing (real world marketing can't be used as term anymore).
You resell something.
1)Find your supplier,guy/company who has stuff to be sold to people.
they are vendors in affiliate marketing sites (clickbank - e-books and fog selling, crakrevenue - adult and dating site signups and stuff)
they are on other side of door of adsense,you promote stuff that vendors need promoted and adsense pays you based on your success, but you'll never know who you promote for. To earn vie adsense you need your own site with content , apply for adsense, and adsense will put ads on your site, to match your visitor's interest.
For example:
Vendor -> $ ->Affiliate-> $ -> (AdWords -> Google -> Adsense) -> $ -> Site owner -> Customer
Vendor -> $ ->Affiliate and Site owner -> Customer
Here you need to do a difficult decision. Will you do multiple things in chain, or only some of them.It is obvious that doing multiple roles mean you get bigger share, but are you good enough for it?
2)Figure out how to find customers
This is where traffic is mentioned , how to usher people to do what you want them to do,where to surf, but it must look like its for their own benefit.Social media sites, your own sites, youtube, you name it . This is game of skill. Difference between targeted traffic and traffic is when you don't send bald people to barbershop.Always make assumptions here : statistics matter. If you need product X sold, attract people who want product X , AND can afford product X. There is no point selling cars to kids.Don't waste time on tirekickers.
3)Get paid
Have account or service that takes care of withdrawing money for your hard work
I'll give 1 example that works , thats payoneer. Especially handy if ur from 3rd world country or similar. You fill forms and they send you card that you can use on most ATMs. There are some expenses here.
Most of weak areas in someones internet marketing skills can be avoided by picking or inventing method that dodges it,but having a CC is a MUST.
4) Dodge a weak spot
Nobody is perfect.
Some people are scared of programming, technical terms, IP addresses, and similar. They are scared of making a web site, it sounds like rocket science.Well TODAY you don't need to know PHP to build a site. You just need 90 IQ. Explore, learn terms , find out what wordpress,hosting and domains are. BEWARE OF search engine registration , that IS scam. When you make your first site, in your SPAM folder will appear google/yahoo search engine registration .There is no such thing. Sites are ranked for FREE. IF you choose to dodge this, use social media, don't make a site, but TOS of those sites will make your life hard.
Some people are terrible designers for commercial purposes. In some cases being smart is BAD if you don't use "stupid lenses" when needed.
I consider flashy eye candy sites to be such a shitty thing, i hate them, they are for kids and dumb people.i throw up when i see a video salesman letter ( VSL) .But you know what? It CONVERTS. It works. You wont get rich from smart people anyway. Smart people will find your $47 e-book for free.
IF this is your weakness,ask random kids to tell you that ur landpage looks "AWESOME" .duh.
Some are lazy and want everything upfront. There is a thread for them in Lounge for them
. If you insist i'll show link for it
Some are afraid of breaking rules. Violating someones copyright, being afraid of reports, scary emails and stuff. Well i'm not from US, i dont know what you need to do to get FBI knocking on your door, but you need to toughen up.Chances are , if your not skilled , or not knowing a lot, and still want $$ , you'll need to become shady. There is no room for morality left, clickbaits , redirects , even lies , hidden installs or similar.So better start learning.
ill add more stuff later, it takes ages to write something meaningful
