This is the day Ibecame an internet marketer, the next couple of months went byand I read everything I could to familiarize myself with theinternet marketing(WOW).Everyone who runs a internet businessare multi-millionaires this cant be t...
...oo difficult I thought ,mymain aim was to build my own website and sell products from it.I had purchased several dozen books which gave me an idea howthings work, after about 6 months I still hadn't got any furtherto achieving my goal then I discovered google:adwords "Well I'llgive it a ago". I found a affiliate programme to promote andwent to work checking my stats to see if i had made a sale andthe elusive cash that went with it. $250 dollars down the road.I woke up as usual at 7:30am turned the computer on and lookedat my stats and WHAM!! I had sold an E-book for$12.97 it cost me$250 but (hey) it's a start. All day long I went round the housewith a smile on my face, my wife was still not convinced I couldmake a living online but she would look at me strangely but Iknew what she was thinking "mug", this attitude did not determe. I found a program that would help me build a website thesoftware was amazing and I managed to build my goal, a websiteand was ready to make huge amounts of money. I uploaded the siteto my webhost it took me 13 hours to figure out that thegraphics to my website had to be uploaded as well. By now I hadspent about $2.000 dollars to get this far, another couple ofmonths went by and including myself I had about 10 clicks on mymoney making website then I read an article which said you haveto have it optimized for the search engine to be ranked well.What the hell is optimize and metatags? I still do not know whatthese mean but I will keep on trying. Many hours of reading andlate nights and my hair going grey and I have come to astandstill, is the internet for real or a farce? Are thesepeople who say they make millions really doing this or are theyjust trying to sell products or services like I am with nosuccess? I would like to sit with one of these so called Guru'sfrom a standing start and see how they do it, if they really do? P.S I got a charge back on my product I sold for $12.97 so Inever made any money on it but I didn't tell the wife. I havejust one website at the moment http://www.informationline1.comit is very basic,but take a look anyway.
