I am going to share a real secret with you this week. A secret that can be summarized in two words. A secret that ALL successful Internet marketers know and apply. A secret that really is the difference between the success and failure of your online business. Sounds pretty important huh?

Well, it is and because of the fact that this is so important, I am going to share this secret with you for nothing - that’s right - you can have this secret completely free of charge!!

Ok, here goes…..

The secret is: HARD WORK.

Yup, that’s it - hard work. Surprised? I am sure that many of you are. I am also sure that many of you are thinking ‘Oh yeah, heard it all before’. Well, maybe you have heard it before but have you actually DONE IT?

You see, this is often the only difference between those that are successful and those that want to be. More and more I see people looking for the easy option or the ‘get rich quick’ scheme. Let me tell you now, they don’t exist and whilst the Internet can eventually provide you with a very comfortable lifestyle with very little work, it comes at a price and that price is usually two or three years of hard work. That means working long hours for little or even no reward.

Let me give you some examples of the sort of thing I am talking about and see which category you fit into:

Several of my websites are based around helping people find wholesalers for a range of products that can be resold on the Internet or anywhere else for that matter. Dealing with wholesalers and finding that elusive product takes a degree of skill and commitment and often time it will be necessary to phone or visit several suppliers before you find what you are looking for. At the end of the day, you should expect to have to put some effort in - after all, if it was as easy as just clicking on a website order button then everyone would be doing it right? Common sense you might think but I still get people emailing me after spending 15 minutes surfing through a couple of wholesale sites stating that they can’t find what they are looking for and can I do the research for them?

Talk about the lazy option. What is wrong with these people? They haven’t even bothered to pick up the telephone, let alone drive to a wholesalers to see what stock is available that isn’t listed online. It is as though they expect someone else to build their entire business for them and I am sorry but this is not going to happen.

Let’s talk about eBooks. Over the years I have promoted numerous different eBooks and other info-products and I am very careful to review every single product before making any mention of it in my newsletter or on my websites. I want to be sure that if I put my name to a product, I know that it contains quality content that will help the reader improve their online business or generate an income.

Because of this, it is extremely rare for me to get refund requests on products I have recommended but of course, from time to time, it does happen. This is fair enough and there can be many reasons why someone may not be happy with their purchase but you know the reason that really irritates me? It is when someone requests a refund a couple of hours (or even minutes) after making their purchase and states that they have read the eBook and the ideas contained within won’t work.

In 99.9% of cases, this translates as ‘It all looks like too much hard work and I can’t be bothered….’

The fact is that the majority of methods of earning a living online will be hard work - of course they will - do people really think that they are going to buy an eBook that will provide them with the knowledge to earn $100,000 a year for doing NOTHING? I wonder sometimes and this kind of attitude often leaves me staring at my computer screen with my jaw hanging down because I can’t believe that anyone can really believe that they are going to get the rewards without the effort.

When I started my online businesses, I would work 15 hour days, 7 days a week for several months at a time. I was rarely away from my PC and this went on for two or three years. Nowadays I work considerably less but if I am developing a new product or site I can easily put in a 60 - 70 hour week. Ask any successful online marketer and they will tell you the same.

So which category do you fit into? Are you committed to working your butt off for a few years to establish your online business or do you expect to sit back and hope that it all happens around you while you get on with your real-world life? If you are in the second category I am afraid you are going to be very disappointed. If you are in the first category then I have every respect for you and you are exactly the type of person that can make a superb life for themselves based around an Internet business.

One person that is most definitely in the first category is my friend, Andre Chaperon. Andre turned his back on the 9 to 5 rat race in October 2003 (just over a year ago) and has been building his online business ever since. I met Andre earlier this year and he is a ‘doer’ and knows the value of hard work. To celebrate the fact that he has managed to support himself for a year via his online efforts, Andre has released a report on affiliate marketing for his customers and subscribers. The report runs to 29 pages and will help you to understand how to successfully promote affiliate products. Andre has agreed that my readers can have a copy of the report for free too, so please feel free to grab your copy from this link:

I’m sure you’ve seen it before, your inbox overflowing with promises of making millions in the span of a few weeks. If your like me you have these “opportunities” safely tucked away in your recycle bin faster than you can say “Spam”,

but all the while in the back of your mind is that ever-present question, “What if?”.

What if hidden among the tidalwave of “Get Rich Quick” hype is the one chance for you to turn your life around and take control of your future?

I won’t lie to you, almost all of the garbage floating around the internet today is just that….trash!

I must inform you however, you CAN make your living online if you are willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty.

There are two main factors in the the prejudice of internet marketing,

[Lack of effort] This is the number one killer of the american dream. Society as a whole would like to believe that success can be achieved with little or no effort on their part and that running a home business consists of firing up their computers and laying around all day!

[Bad experiences] Another large contributing factor in the fear of internet marketing is people who have had less than desirable results from their own efforts. one thing holds true and that is that bad news travels twice as fast and twice as far as good. While a good deed is forgotten a bad experience never is.

If you are serious about going into business for yourself, you CAN be successful.

I know because I’ve been doing it for two years now and quite frankly I am disgusted with the dark cloud that looms over the phrase “Internet Marketing”. This reputation is largely derived from the many scams out there, these are your everyday “Get Rich Quick” schemes claiming to make you millions with little or no effort on your part.

Sadly, many people fall victim to these scams due to their desire To make money with no effort on their part.

I recently had the opportunity to talk via email with one of my visitors, And when asked what she was looking to gain from my services she stated That she wanted to find something where she could make money while doing very little work.

It all comes down to one final truth.You will get from Internet Marketing What you are willing to put into it. If you dedicate your time and efforts you can reap huge rewards however, If you come into it with the mindset of getting something for nothing All you will end up with are regrets.

Did that headline grab your attention?

I have experimented with many different headlines on my sites and found that you can take the same sales letter yet your sales will increase or decrease depending on the headline you are using.

That’s nothing to sneeze at! Your headline can literally make or break your advertising campaign.

The headline is the most important part of any sales letter. It has to grab your prospects attention by dangling the proverbial carrot in front of them to suck them into your main sales copy. It literally is like an ad for your main ad.

The key to writing headlines for a particular sales letter is to write down as many as you can. Try different variations and combinations until you find the one you like best.

Then test, test and test some more! Just the addition of one or two more words in a headline can literally skyrocket your sales. Keep testing until you’ve created a headline more powerful than a vacuum cleaner!

What I also like to do is to keep a swap file of the headlines I like. I pay attention to headlines in newspapers, magazines and especially the tabloids and when I find one I like I put it in my swap file.

I don’t copy the headline word for word but instead I create a fill in the blank approach for future use.

For example I came across a headline that read:

The ugly side of beef, what health officials won’t tell you!

That headline really caught my attention. So I put it in my swap file as:

The ugly side of ___, what ___ won’t tell you!

I can then fill in the blanks for whatever purpose that headline may suit me for future use, which then becomes the title of this article:

The Ugly Side Of Internet Marketing, What The Gurus Won’t Tell You!

Creating a swap file of good headlines can do wonders for your bottom line so start focusing on headline writing today!

You will find that headlines are important in almost every online endeavor you are embarking on…from websites, to emails, to classified ads, to article writing, to pay per click search listings and more…

Do not underestimate the power of a headline!
