Instant Success - Yeh Right.

Join our affiliate-program and make your fortune overnight.

Sound familiar ?

How many times have you received email to say that
by joining company X you will have instant success.

And how many websites suggest by using their system
you can build an instant list of thousands.

It is possible for the major players on the Internet, but
what they don't tell you is that most of the people these
"players" signup in a new Internet company are already
on their opt-in list.

Here are some well used concepts used in promoting
new Internet Companies.

Believe it or not !

1. It will only take you 5 hours each week.

Correct if,

(a) you only want to earn a few $`s

(b) you already have a large optin list to promote to.

(c) you have M-oney to invest in advertising.

(d) you are totally organized, focused and a natural marketer.

What they don`t tell you.

With commitment and the proper training, yes it is possible.

2. Its easy, anyone can make M-oney online.

But only if you have some business background or the
Company supplies you with quality training, support
and any other tools you need to promote their product.
You also need a supportive sponsor and up-line, who are
willing to help when needed.

3. Its soooo easy that everyone is do-ing it.

"Slight Exaggeration" here as only about 20% of US families
or adults are currently members of Internet companies. There
are many other people who are promoting Amway and other
Companies but not over the internet. It is estimated that 50%
of Americans will have had, or will be operating some sort of
business from the comfort of home by the end of next year.

Most experts suggest only about the top 5% of Internet
Marketers are making a good income and another 10%
are part time earners.

4. By working over the Internet you will be able to work
your own hours.

Yes this statement is true, but you still have to "work"

Yes you have more flexibility on when you work, say early
in the morning or in the evening if you are part time. You
still need to put in the hours, so having a plan and a set of goals
is an advantage. If you don`t reach your goals then you will
need to re-access them, are they realistic or do you need to
increase the hours you work to succeed or take a different
approach.

5. Our system guarantees success.

What is success, my idea on success will differ from yours.

Many websites offer a number of tools and provide promotion
material but not everyone knows how to best utilize them. This
is where training and support is a must. Provide it to your downline
and expect it from your up-line.

Ongoing quality training and support are the two most under
estimated "tools" or requirements many companies "say" they
provide but either not everyone has access or knows how to
use them.

6. Its so easy you will make m-oney even while you sleep.

This is a fact, the Internet does not sleep, but you will only
make m-oney from sales or signups if you put in the effort.

7. Its cool because I don`t have to talk with people face to face.

Sure you can sit at your computer and promote your website,
send out emails to prospects, network on ICQ and Ryze etc...

But you will find the big players are always talking to prospects
either on the phone or while at the shops and gas station.

I personally have my ICON Communicator open most of the day
while I am online and most days I will have a person (guest) who
I have never meet log in, so I have to know the product or services
I am promoting to be able to share or answer any questions my
may guest has.

The more practice you have at speaking to strangers the more
comfortable and at ease you become. And this is coming from
someone who doesn`t like public speaking.

Practice makes perfect.

8. F`R`E`E

One of the most powerful 4 letter words ever devised by man.

Can you promote on the internet for f`ree.

The hidden costs. You need a computer, power to run the
computer, an Internet connection, office supplies....

Yes it is possible to promote your chosen company or
service for minimum cost, but it will usually take longer
to get those positive results. Time is m-oney. What is your
time worth? Any business requires time and usually some
investment to get off the ground.

9. Build yourself a website and watch the sales roll in.

I recommend every Internet Marketer should have their
own website for a number of reasons. First is that you are
able to create introduction pages to companies, products
or services. You are then able to send out email using a
URL or website link that won`t be filtered by ISP`s as
they are known to filter or delete email that contains
affiliated links.

Secondly there are very few search engines that you can
list your affiliated website with. So by having your own
Domain and website you are able to list it with search
engines. But again by being listed does not necessarily
guarantee you sales.

10. You "will" receive spillover.

Some companies and individuals promote to prospects
that they will receive spillover.

I must be really missing something here as I can count on
my fingers the number of people I have received in my
downline as spillover in 3 years on the internet.

Yes spillover does happen for some, but don`t count on it.

Some suggestions.

When starting any business you need to have a plan of
action and a maximum budget you can spend on products
or services to advertise and promote your business.

Register a domain and create a website.

Only consider joining companies where you have full access
to support, regular training, provide popular or unique, sort
after products that offer a residual income with a positive
compensation plan.

A company I can happily recommend to any first time
marketers is ItsYourNet. They offer special trainings
on building websites, publishing Ezines, using ICQ for
networking along with marketing and even supply you
f`ree of cost, top quality software to keep your computer
safe.

The ItsYourNet "back office area" has an ever increasing
list of promotional material and resources.

The product range is also being added to, in the next week
we will see the release of the 3D Virtual web system and
the 3D virtual mall will soon be opened for business too.
