Internet Business Success Confessions

I must confess...

If there was a long road to Internet Business Success, I took it!

Like many others that try to make a living online, I went down a lot of wrong roads and encountered many obstacles and dead ends. But I had put so much time and effort into making money online, that I refused to give up. Unfortunately, this lead to a lot of frustration, and spending money on every product and service I could get my hands on... hoping each new one was the answer I needed to succeed.

It seemed like I would only get part of the puzzle at a time, and the entire process of making money online was not revealed to me all at once. (When I decided to help some friends start their own Internet Business and make money online, this was the first thing I addressed by building http://www.bigwealthsystem.com which is the BIG picture to building an Internet Empire.)

Ok, I have to admit... things are quite different now and I make a full-time income online, and continued to grow my Internet businesses and increase my success. But I'll never forget how frustrating it was in the beginning!

This got me to thinking...

If I had to start all over, how would I do it? (Knowing what I know now.)

This is a tough question, because EVERY product and service I bought and used over the years has contributed to some degree to my success online. Yes, even the completely worthless products I bought (and there were many) taught me something... like what not to do.

You can see the resources I recommend for every aspect of Internet Marketing on BigWealthSystem.com, but I still wanted to narrow it down even more.

So, on this page I'm going to go over those products and services that has had, and continues to have, the greatest impact on my Internet business success. And it is my true belief that if I had just used these products instead of being sidetracked and making so many mistakes, I would be where I am today in ONE FOURTH the time.

I'm going to list the resources in the order I encountered them... but this is not the order I would recommend you follow. I'll give you the order I would follow at the end of the page... so look for it!

The very first wise decision I think I made was Ken Envoy's Site Build It!

Remember, I did not know ANYTHING about building a website, HTML, hosting, keywords, seo or any of the other important things you need to know to build and Internet Business and succeed.

When I started going over Site Build It! and read about the C -> T -> P -> M System, it all started to make sense.

Once I saw the success these SBI sites were having in terms of TRAFFIC, I was hooked.

Ok, confession time...

I thought I could do everything I was reading about on Site Build It! by myself. I mean they do such a good job of teaching why this system works, I thought I could do it WITHOUT using their service. BIG MISTAKE!

After about two weeks I realized I was fooling myself and went ahead and bought my first SBI site. Then things go a whole lot easier, because not only was the system solid and effective, but they gave me all the tools I needed to make it work and taught me how to use them!

So, the first breakthrough I had on my way to Internet Business Success was making the decision to purchase my first SBI site. (By the way, it is still up today and making steady money!)

Look, no matter how good a product or service is, they can't have ALL the answers... and I have to admit I like to get a lot of information on subjects I'm interested in. But Insider Secrets comes pretty close to being the all-you-need-resource!

By the way, the new Insider Secrets 2008 version is now available with updated information for the changing Internet world.

Anyway, this course is responsible for more Internet success stories than any other of its kind in the history of the Internet. It is the most comprehensive guide to getting started on the Internet and building your online business into a huge success.

Look, I'm not going to lie to you. Becoming a success will take some effort on your part. But you can considerably cut down the time to start seeing those life changing checks if you follow a plan that has ALREADY been proven to work. I floundered around a lot before Insider Secrets put me on the right track.

The faster you learn and APPLY what's inside Insider Secrets... the faster you can claim Internet Business Success for yourself.

So, the next product that made a huge impact on my success was Insider Secrets! (By the way, I was listening to an interview with an Internet Millionaire the other day and he also claimed this guide was the key to his success.) Actually, it is the APPLICATION of what you learn that leads to success!

While Site Build It and Insider Secrets were key to getting my Internet Business off the ground, Jimmy D. Brown has been the biggest contributor to my Internet Business Success ever since. Now I know, Jimmy D. Brown is not a product of service... but it is his products and services which have allowed me to grow my business and build online wealth.

Look, when I first started buying Internet Marketing products I would continuously be disappointed. Most products tell you WHAT you need to do to be successful. This is like a running coach telling their athlete, "To win the race... run faster than the other runners!" Yea... but HOW?

Jimmy D. Brown's products and services not only tell you WHAT you need to do in order to be successful... but HOW! He gives step-by-step instructions, examples, case studies, templates and the how-to knowledge to duplicate his success. I could go on all day about how he's helped me go from making a decent living online... to building an Internet Business that changed my life.

Here are some of the products that I use consistently that have have the greatest impact on my success:

List And Traffic: This is a membership site that ONLY costs $10 a month! Each and every month Jimmy sends and Actionable Plan to increase traffic to my websites or get more money out of my list. I mean... step by step instructions of things HE does! I await every month with anticipation because each new idea is pure genius! For only 10 bucks a month... Joining List And Traffic Is A No-Brainer!

Small Reports Fortune: My first ebook to sell online was 289 pages! If I only knew I could make just as much money with small 7-15 page reports. Since reading this report, which teaches you EXACTLY how to write these profitable reports fast, I have completely changed the way I create products for sale on the web. Imagine building an Information Empire without having to write more than 7-15 pages at a time! Small Reports Fortune Shows You How!

List Profit System: Everybody says, "The fortune is in the list." But again... HOW? Jimmy teaches you how to grow a list, nurture it and how to get the most money out of your list without making your subscribers leave. This is powerful stuff, and building a responsive list is one of the ESSENTIAL for Internet Business Success! Build A Responsive List With List Profit System!

Sales Army Secrets: I have an affiliate program in place... but I had a hard time figuring out how to get affiliate to sign up and remain active. Frankly, affiliates are responsible for driving more traffic to my sales site than any other traffic generation method. This light bulb didn't click until I read this report. Since then, I've decided to dedicate more time to building my own Sales Army. Build Your Own Sales Army!

Membernaire: This is a year-long membership that teaches how to get your own membership site up and running in as little as 72 hours. Ongoing profits can really make a difference over time, and I'm learning how to set this up EXACTLY like Jimmy does. I've only been in it for a month or so, and will probably put my first membership site together sometime soon. This is great info that I get on a WEEKLY basis. Start You Own Membership Site!

As you can see, I get just about everything Jimmy has to offer... and I've never been disappointed! I have to say, that without Jimmy's products my Internet Business Success would have been dramatically hindered. So, figure out which of these great products you need to succeed online, and get it today!

Part of my Online Success comes from affiliate marketing... or recommending other people's products and services for a commission.

Again, here is a confession...

Affiliate marketing is a lot harder than most people think at first glance. It is a great OPPORTUNITY to make money online... but you still have to know what you're doing. And in the beginning, I really didn't know what I was doing.

After I figure out what really works for affiliate marketing, I realized how time consuming it could be. For example, a winning affiliate promotion requires a squeeze page to collect prospects names and email, a free ebook as an incentive to sign up, a presell page that points to the affiliate product and a bonus if they buy. All this takes time to set up properly.

Therefore, when I came across Affiliate Cash Secrets by Derrick VanDyke, I immediately recognized how powerful this service is. Derrick literally does 95% of all the hard work for you. So, instead of spending a month setting up my affiliate offer the right way, it only takes me minutes!

Then I can spend my valuable time sending traffic to my affiliate offer and getting people into the proven affiliate marketing system!

By the way... did I mention you don't even need to build a website or create a blog to start affiliate marketing like the pros? This is what makes it one of the fastest, cheapest and most effective money making systems in existence. Of course, you still have to put the effort in... but it cuts the start up time to almost nothing!

So, Affiliate Cash Secrets is one of my Can't-Live-Without services that contributes to my Internet Business Success!

As promised, I'm going to tell you how I would do it if I had to do it all over again. Like I said, the products and services I told you about were pretty much in the order I found them. That doesn't mean that is the perfect way to use these products.

First...

I would start off with Affiliate Cash Secrets. This is the fastest and cheapest way to get started making money online. You don't need to learn HTML, get hosting, build a website or even create a blog. All this stuff took me a LONG time to learn to do right.

Plus, Affiliate Cash Secrets is based on a proven PLAN for affiliate marketing success, so you'll learn the right way to promote other people's products.

Affiliate Cash Secrets is the fastest way I know of to get the CASH flowing and your list growing... so I'd start here!

Second...

I'd get the New Insider Secrets 2008. You would have already learned about affiliate marketing, but this would fill in the blanks of the rest of the stuff you need to do to be successful online.

Third...

I'd jump all over Jimmy D. Brown's products!

You would already be building a list with Affiliate Cash Secrets, but I would want to make sure I was maximizing the profit from the list so I would get List Profit System.

Then I'd start creating small reports to sell following Small Reports Fortune. Plus, I'd join List And Traffic to learn tricks to sending traffic to my sales page, and get Sales Army Secrets to build a super successful affiliate sales force.

Lastly...

I'd pull everything together and build a Master Site using Site Build It! This would be the "hub" site for all my online activities and to showcase all my products.

Basically, I'd start making money as fast as possible by recommending other people's products and using a proven system. Then I would reinvest my money back into my Internet Business to create my own products and recruiting other people to help me sell them. So, there should be plenty of money ALREADY coming in before I even tackle the job of creating a Master Site.

If only I could do things over again...
