Let me first give you the quick answer to this question: No. I do not think it's possible to make money fast via Internet marketing. Now, let me tell you why. I spent nearly 30 years as an advertising and marketing executive helping "brick and mortar" clients increase sales and profits. Since I retired, I have spent 18 months exploring ways to make money on the Internet and the only way I can find to do this is ... slowly. In fact, I am now working with a company who tells the truth about Internet marketing. This company tells you upfront that success with its system takes time and effort. In fact, its "mascot" is a turtle. This company will also tell you that the "secret" to Internet success is content. Content means a web site with many pages of helpful information. Search engines like Google just love content. To paraphrase Field of Dreams, "build the content and they (the search engines) will come." If you have a web site and want good search engine rankings, don't think in terms of making money overnight or any other way.. Think in terms of what information your visitors are looking for. Do you have a site on dog care? Then what about dogs are your visitors looking for? Dog nutrition? Dog toys? Obedience training? Doggy exercise? Dog daycare? Dog breeders? Create content built around these kinds of subjects and the search engines will come. Be sure to also look for other sites that complement your site (but not compete with it) Again, take a dog care web site. Complimentary web sites would include web sites devoted to cats or other pets or dog dare products. If you interlace your good content with money-making tools such as Google Adsense, you will make money. Eventually. But it won't happen overnight. In fact, it may not happen for months. But keep on track, keep building content and you will succeed. |
