Since I
opened my very first internet marketing website, I have been
bombarded with people struggling with their finances.
The emails usually start
roughly the same……
Ø Please help me make my
first $100 dollars online
Ø I’ve been made redundant
and I can’t pay the bills
Ø I’ve been trying to earn a
living online for over a year but don’t know where I am going wrong
Ø My wives lost her job – how
do I start earning online
Ø And so on…..
You
would probably assume that these are the only types of emails that I receive,
but its not! The ones that are most interesting are those that want a complete
change of career. Police officers are my specialty they have served a set
amount of years but before they start their pensions they want to find a
quality top up income without having to work as a security officer.
This
same scenario flows into several professions and they have the best chance of
creating a good online income as they can focus on what they are already
trained in.
The
main problem though is that most people seem to struggle when trying to break
into the “make money online” niche. They are instructed by others that it is over saturated, over subscribed and is full of scammers trying to steal any hard
earned cash that they make.
This
is a load of rubbish, yes there is probably the odd scammer that brings it down
but this can happen in any job and as long as you are wary of the dodgy
individuals there is no reason for it to hit you.
I
came across one newbie just the other day on the Warrior Forum (a well known
internet marketing hangout that made me realize how easy it is to be scammed if you let your guard down. He had sold his mobile phone on eBay and even though he had said
that he would only ship to Europe he still had a Nigerian asking him if he could
pay by Western Union.
On
top of that a few checks showed that his eBay account was registered in USA, he
lived in Hong Kong and wanted the WU payment to be sent to his relatives in the
highly suspicious African country.
These
Nigerian scammers will always be on eBay there is no way of getting rid of them.
As one gets suspended, five more will join but they probably only account for
say 1% of the eBay buyers and this to me is very small indeed. Plus the
majority of us would know better anyway. I certainly wouldn’t fall for such an
easy scam but there is always that small amount that sadly would.
Secondly
Internet Marketing is a very popular market and the reason why there is a
certain degree of rubbish on there is that people seem to want to work in this
market first. They will decide to start their online empire head straight for
this niche and write an e-book about Blogging. This is when the problem starts
they know absolutely nothing about Blogging and end up creating a load of bad
content.
This
is EXACTLY
why there is a huge scope of creating quality information within this niche.
The
Internet Marketing Gurus will tell you over and over again not to bother
because it’s far too competitive. But the real truth that they’re hiding from
you is that it’s the complete opposite. There is a lot of money to be made.
They don’t want their streams of income to be affected by some newbie that has
the intelligence to do a much better job than them!
They’re doing it for two reasons. Firstly because they don’t want the
competition and secondly because you can bet your bottom dollar they’re about
to launch a product about how to make money in other niche markets instead.
They’re saying ‘you’ll never make any money in the niche but you can make a lot in the health or tropical fish niche’ And to be fair
you can make money in other niches, but please don’t discount the make
money online part of Internet Marketing because it’s a great one to get into.
Don’t be put off by the big guys telling you what you can and can’t do.
Theirs is only one tiny opinion out of billions that are spouted every day
throughout the world.
All you have to do to be
successful in any niche is to be honest about your online experiences.
So
let’s go back to school and learn the basics.
WATCH OUT FOR MORE EXAMPLES.
