Internet marketing is defined as a generic term used to describe techniques that leverage the Internet for driving traffic and customers to one's business. Internet marketing is more than just search engine marketing. It is the promotion of products and services online or through the internet.

Internet marketing takes getting used to and demands that you take your time, prepare and be slick about what you do. Let's face it, if this lucrative transaction is going to work for you, you definately have to put your time into it. You can't just slap on salamy, cheese, and some mushrooms and call it a pizza, you gotta heat the crust just right and get that perfert sizzle. That's internet marketing! First, you need a product.

Hooray, you joined the millions of people online who are looking to get rid of their cheap paying jobs, now what? well, you need a product to sell. Now you can either create this product or take the easy way out and sell another man's goods. Either way works just fine.

Slow down young lad, you need to find something that sells. I mean if you are trying to sell a banana that sells for $10 bucks a piece, it better be a pretty super gigantic banana or else your gains will be lower than the titanic. So try to find a product with good sales appeal and one that draws the crowd. You know, the type of product that makes people want to empty out their wallets. Yeah, that one! Alright, now we are getting somewhere...let's talk traffic and listbuilding.

Great, we have the product that we want to sell, now what? In order to be successful online visitors have to be able to find you on the Internet. Success as an entrepreneur is about being passionate, giving wholly of yourself, busting your butt, falling flat on your face and getting right back up to do it all over again. However,you get to dance in the thrill of complete and total victory at the end of it all.

When visitors come to your site try to convince them to leave their contact with you. This my friend, is the key to building a successful list. Why do we need a list?...because these are repeat customers you will buy into another opportunity you are promoting. Internet marketing takes work, no scratch that, lot's of work. But the payouts are incredible high. Now there are a number of traffic pulling techniques you can use to build your opt-in list and you can take a look at you-tube or checkout Google to get more detailed explanations of these.

Traffic Exchanges (quickest and easiest way to get traffic)

YouTube - (comeon, don't be camera shy)

Safelists - these do work if used correctly

Article submissions- Whew, these are among the best!

And much much more?

Be creative and you just might invent your own unique way which others would pay you BIG BUCKS to use!

Pay particular attention to the number of Unique visitors, Number of visits and Hits.

So now let's get to the good stuff...Can you say chi ching! Depending on what affiliate program you join you get paid anywhere from 30% - 75% (ClickBank). Some programs even show you a way to make the full %100 on every sale but I will touch on this later. Similarly, if you created your own product you can potentially make %100 off your sales. Though it takes more time and effort you might want to consider creating your own product as you get used to internet marketing and become an expert at it, well hopefully! so what is our millionaire strategy?

How much moolah you get depends on what you sell. Some products pay out a commission of 30%-%75 to you per sale. So if you're racking up about 25 sales per day, you will fire that boss in no time. And oh, I will reveal to you a secret tip later. Has to do with having your own product to sell. But we still need a strategy.

Like all things in life young grasshopper you need to have a strategy. Go hard and don't stop until you make enough money to go on vacation...for life. Yet still, how do we accomplish that goal. Well, like a wise man once said to me,"Zeze, the secret to your success is in your daily routine. " How true that is. The place you are in life right now is a result of what you did or did not do yesterday. And that my friend is a fact! So have a millionaire strategy...mine works pretty good for me. Well young grasshopper, it's time to get to work making those millions.

Cheers to your Success! - 18098
