Are You Still Waiting To Become An Online Marketer?
I was watching an episode of the “Tyra Bank Show” this morning, whereby one of her guests was actually sharing how precious time is - Once time is lost, it’s lost… have you make good use of it?
This makes very good sense to me and I was able to feel the impact of time when I had a talk with my friend over the “possibility of making money online”
A short description of my friend, let’s call him Mr. E, - male, happy with working for someone, very interested in soccer and spend most of his time reading and looking at soccer sites that offer good tips for him to bet on the matches. He is also constantly sharing soccer betting pointers to other friends through word of mouth.
Then he saw me going through my daily ritual of looking through all the MMO and Affiliate Marketing blogs in my Google Reader and decides to pop by my side and this are our conversation:
- Mr. E: Is it really possible to make money online? Sounds like a scam to me…
- Me: Why not? Though I am doing this part time, I am already seeing a small income coming in though not enough to support my lifestyle. How about this, I show you who are the successful ones - *showed sites of John Chow’s and Alvin Phang’s earnings*
- Mr. E: Wow! Seems real to me! But how do they make money from? Can I be the same as you all?
- Me: Of course, can! Do what you are good with and share information. You just need to know that people are always looking for information on a particular subject like, your soccer? Then you can make some money by displaying Ads, or selling affiliate products. You can even do it like a hobby!
- Me: It may seem complicated at first, but the key point here is, get started soon if you are interested and you’ll get the hang out of it.
- Mr. E: Interesting… making money from internet… but seems like a lot to be done, so… when I am really free, then I may consider… but this is really a good idea of making money. Thanks! *walks away and was seen talking to others on his wisdom of soccer betting*
There you see. My friend, a potential online money maker, decides to wait for the right time and right moment before he uses like hobby to help him make some money online.
With so many people going online everyday and creating new sites, you will never know that by the time you are ready with your stuff, there are already some sites which are more vibrant and offer better information. Because of the waiting, you lose out to better opportunities.
My Advice:
If you believe that you can make money online and you do have a certain hobby (do not need to be 100% committed) that you can share some of your wisdom on, get started (do it small) today and do not wait to become an online marketer. Once you get started, improve on your skills bit by bit everyday. That’s how you learn and become better.
If you do need a quick guide to get started online, use the below as a reference:
- Sign up an account with Blogger and think of a general site name related to your hobby, preferably containing words that you may use while doing a search
- Start blogging frequently to slowly expose your site to the search engines
- What to blog? Use the basic - Who, What, When, Why and How, to help you along
- Once you get a hang out of it, start exposing yourself to money making tools like affiliate products or Google Adsense and learn how they will work for you.
- You may also consider upgrading to a self-hosted wordpress blog for more functions and to present yourself professionally.
- From here, learn from the other successful online marketers and constantly improve.
