In my time online as an Internet Marketer I’ve created hundreds of websites on hundreds of different niches: from Bail Bonds to Liposuction to Tattoos and more.  I’ve created so many content sites that it makes my brain hurt.  I couldn’t even start to list the many different niches I’ve worked in.

• It took days and days of studying and learning
• Each content site had to be promoted differently
• I had to maintain focus and not let my mind wonder or be distracted
• It could get awfully frustrating and boring creating website after website

So where am I going with all this?  Website after website I started to notice something.  The only websites that did well for me were the websites I enjoyed creating and were in profitable topics that kept my attention and I was extremely passionate about.

Work from Home, Making Money and Having Fun Doing it!

Creating all those content sites took up so much of my time through learning all about the specific niche and creating quality content for the website.  I found myself doing monotonous boring work that repeated itself day after day.

I thought to myself  ”If I wanted to do something boring, I would’ve stayed at my 9-5 job!”

Niche Marketing Should be Fun and Interesting

The world of Internet Marketing can be extremely hard work which involves lots of analytics, tests, trials, spending and so forth and so forth, but that doesn’t mean you have to choose niches that are boring to you. 

In addition if the topic is boring to you, you sure ain’t goin’ to sell it to anyone else!

After a while, I stopped promoting all the boring websites that I did not care for and started creating a line of websites of stuff that I was totally enveloped in.  Almost 100% of the time, if you are CRAZY about a specific niche, then there is most likely a profitable market if you know what to look for. Plus, you’ll be much, much more likely to sell someone on an idea or concept if you, yourself are passionate about it.

If we wanted to do boring monotonous work that we can’t put our souls in to it, then we shouldn’t be in the entreprenuer business and we definitely shouldn’t be in the Internet Marketing business!

Just a little word of caution if you find yourself doing the rinse, lather, repeat of subject matter and/or niches that do not entertain you.  If you aren’t entertained, then your visitors will likely not be either.

Just another Internet Marketing Strategy to think about next time you take on a new niche!  Niche Marketing should be fun… atleast that’s how I feel.  Whether you are in to affiliate marketing or creating your own information product, if you are an Internet Marketer and you own your own online business while working from home and making money online why not enjoy it and have fun doing what you love to do?

You’ll often hear me talk about Mindset.  Having the right mindset is extremely crucial as an Internet Marketer and creating wealth through having an Online Business.  I feel that if you really want to succeed in Internet Marketing you MUST create a mindset of success or you’ll almost always find failure.

Why is mindset so important?  I am a firm believer of the power of the mind.  Thoughts are things… thoughts are energy… if you’ve ever listened to Joe Vitale or read or have seen “The Secret“, they speak a lot about the laws of attraction.  In short, we attract what we most commonly think, feel and do.  It’s a belief in abundance and acceptance and having the right mindset in order to achieve anything you want in life.

The Internet Marketing Wealth Building Entrepenuer Mindset

Mindset has a lot to do with “belief” and the belief that you can succeed in what you want to accomplish.  If you can’t see or believe that you can achieve success in Internet Marketing and building wealth online, then you’ve pretty much already lost.  On the other hand, if you concentrate and focus and meditate on achieving your dreams, they almost seem to fall right in your lap.

Now for many the Internet Marketing Mindset or the wealth building mindset is hard to accomplish.  We have years of built-up negative beliefs and doubts that we’ve been taught since we were first born… It’s a social fault which is almost impossible to ignore.  So we are faced with having to change the way we look at things, our work, ourselves and other people in order to create these abundances we all want.  It’s not easy either, but 100% possible if you really want it.

Many people believe that we become wealthy (whatever is considered “wealthy” to you)  m,in order to get and do what we want and as a result we become a person of that mindset, but that is completely backwards.  We must first have the mindset in order to do and get the things we want to become truly wealthy… it’s a basic universal law.

If you need to change your mindset to that of a successful entrepenuer and a person of limitless wealth you have to undo all that negative programming which can be a serious task, but you can start through visualization, affirmation and surrounding yourself with others that reflect the person you want to become. 

As a practice, at night, in the morning or throughout your day, take 15 minutes just to think of  or “visualize” yourself in the position and place of your desire.  Try to think of it as already happening.  Try to visualize every little detail of the life you want to live and the person you want to become and try to be as detailed as possible.

The Internet Marketing Millionaire Mindset

In addition to visualization, affirmations are a great way to help you change your current negative belief systems which may be holding you back.  When creating an affirmation make sure you present it as in the present and use positive not negative terms.  For example, a good affirmation could be “I am successful in every aspect of my life” or “I am wealthy and completely secure in my life“.  Try to stay away from concentrating onthe negative by saying affirmations like “I am not broke anymore” or “I’ve gotten rid of the things that hold me back”…  These types of affirmations concentrate on the negative and aren’t as effective.

By surrounding yourself with people, books, items, etc. that reflect the reality you want to exist in can help you make it much more believeable, therefore attainable.  Many successful Internet Marketers surround themselves with other successful people and entrepenuers.  It is believed that these people and things have a sort of “energy” if you will and can rub off on you in a positive way.  Remember it is extremely important to surround yourself with people who have the best intentions and want to see you succeed.  This doesn’t mean dump your poor friends, it simply means create friends that mimic the kind of life and the kind of person you want to become.

Doing these things may help you change your mindset to that of a successful Internet Marketer or Online Entrepenuer.  There is literally a plethora of ways you can change your mindset and some will work better for you than others.  But if you take one thing away from this post, please remember that your Mindset is 99% of the battle, and the rest will fall in to place if your mindset is in the right place.

To your success,

In the quest for living the dream, there are good decisions, bad decisions and decisions made due to lack of experience.  The Internet is literally filled with possibilities for making money online.  Internet Marketing has made it possible for anyone with the desire to pursue it, to build a more than significant amount of revenue from an Internet Business.

I speak to people all the time about making money online and pursuing a career as an independent Internet Marketer and although it seems EVERYBODY wants to make money online… Almost 95 percent of them won’t take the necessary actions to get there.  The Internet has leveled the playing field so that small businesses can compete fairly well against big business corporations.  Every opportunity exists to find streams of Internet Income from a plethora of different resources all throughout the web.

Making Money from Home - Actively Pursuing Your Internet Business Online

So if making money online is so easy to do, why don’t more people do it?

One of my old mentors seemed to explain it best when he said that people don’t do things for two reasons:

1.  They don’t know how to

or…

2.  They don’t want to

With that being said, and the ability to earn a steady income from home through Internet Marketing or other forms of Online business, shouldn’t there be a lot more people making thousands of dollars from the Internet?

What it comes down to is that they may not know how to, but that clearly isn’t why they don’t.

The reason, atleast I feel, that many entrepenuers don’t earn a steady income online is usually due to sheer laziness, lack of organization, self discipline and focus… that’s it!  Atleast when given an appropriate amount of time to do so.

It seems that most people do not want to do the dirty work of figuring things out for themselves.  They will tend to buy just about anything to make making money online a simple automated task.  They fall for “Get Rich Quick” scams only to find that the only person making REAL money online are those selling the get rich quick products and services.

Now for not a single second do I believe every product out there is worthless.  In fact, if recieved from the right sources the information can be priceless.  But for those who truly want to create real Internet wealth, the following need to be perfectly alligned:

1.  A burning desire to achieve greatness!  Now when I say “burning”, I mean you gotta want it like nothing else!  You have to be fierce!  You have to be willing to do what it takes to make things happen.  Without this, you are simply playing a hobby and nothing more.

2.  You must have laser-targeted focus.  You can have all the desire to make money online in the world, but you must harness that desire and be able to commit complete focus to it.  This means being able to cut out distractions and clearing away the things that block your success.  If you don’t know what these things are, then you need to start by identifying them.

3.  You must be open to change.  The Internet marketing world is always changine, day in and day out.  The search engine algorythms change all the time, so does what works and what doesn’t.  Being able to flow and adapt to an ever-changing online world is crucial if you want to achieve long-term success while making money online through Internet Marketing.

4.  You must be willing to do the ground work… the dirty work… the time-consuming tedious work.  While it is true that you should work smarter, not harder, it doesn’t mean you should cut any corners.  I see many affiliate marketers go through the newest top of the line program and then continue doing what they’ve always done.  You have to be willing to do everything necessary to achieve greatness.  The money will NEVER come if you aren’t willing to work for it and accept it.  You may not realize it, but you already know what you need to be doing, but you probably aren’t doing it if you aren’t making serious money online.  If something works for someone and it doesn’t work for you, ask yourself, “why?” – and be severely honest with yourself, you might be suprised by your conclusion.

5.  To make money online through Internet Marketing or any other form of online business you must have structure.  You should have a step-by-step blueprint to success that is 100% replicable and adaptable to change at any given moment… Hence why they say its good to have multiple streams of Internet Income.  Do things that leverage your business and help you in producing long-term quality results.  Again, do not cut corners!  Create or follow someone elses bulletproof process of success.

6.  Never let the thought of success leave your mind.  Always have your head in the game.  Remember, if you truly want to create wealth online, then failure isn’t an option, right?  This goes hand-in-hand with having a burning desire.  You have to mentally prepare yourself for that level of success.  You have to be able to see yourself achieving that level of excellence without a flicker of doubt.  It may be hard to do, but with practice and some creative visualization, nothing will stand in your way.

7.  Do a little bit every day to grow your Internet business online.  Whether its doing a little bit of promoting, some minor tweaks, or sending an e-mail, take steps every day no matter how large or small to grow your Online business.

8.  Be willing to help others, and surround yourself with those who want to see you succeed.  This may sound like new age hippy stuff, but its the real deal.  By helping others to achieve greatness, you in turn, achieve it as well.   Keep in mind the company you keep and strive to meet those that reflect your goals and ambitions.  If someone is truly interested in getting your help, and willing to work for it, then they deserve to have your help.

9.  Surround yourself with success.  Surrounding yourself with success, whether it’s successful people, books, anything successful.  Create an atmosphere of success everywhere you go.  By doing this you will create the necessary environment for you to acheive success.  We are what we most commonly think and do…. Keep this in mind and you’ll go far!

10.  Do everything in your power to not get burnt out through information overload or through the negativity of others.  Don’t fool yourself in to thinking that you can’t do it, because there is no reason why you can’t.  Don’t listen to the nay-sayers, they are most likely jealous of you or are too blind to realize your potential.  Be true to yourself and keep your mind clear and aimed for your goals.

Now this isn’t by any means a specific roadmap to success and making money online through an Internet business, but it definitely lays down some ground rules that have worked for countless others.  Success isn’t about how much money you have, it is a state of mind and a state of being.  Follow these rules and you will attract success and wealth to you from every direction.  Don’t fall for shortcuts… most of time shortcutes are “short comings” – The small details matter and could be the “missing” link to whatever has been holding you back in the past.

To Your Success,

In the Internet Marketing world, there are “teachers” and there are “learners” or students.  The Internet Marketing industry is always changing and evolving along with all new ways of doing certain things online.

Internet Marketing Guru

The proverbial “Guru” is a term that either makes an entrepenuer excited or almost disgusted depending on their experiences with so called Gurus of the past.  Now the question often comes up “How much weight should I put on any so called Guru I come accross?”

Well, in the name of information overload, it’s highly important to pick and choose your tutors wisely.  It becomes fairly easy over time to spot someone who is truly successful or just talking big with the screenshots of their Google Adsense account or Clickbank account.  Heck, I ran into one just the other day with an obviously altered Adsense check right on their sales copy.  I mean come on, how hard is it really to photoshop anything these days?

Now every now and then I have to take an e-mail list inventory and cut the fat off of the e-mail lists I belong to.  Now, you seriously do not want to cut all ties, because that will only hurt you, your income and any buzz you may want to tap in to.  But you don’t want to get caught up with 350 e-mails from every different list filling up your inbox with useless crap and telling you to buy the next big Affiliate Marketing Tactic, SEO Secret or some untold and mysterious website traffic technique that miraculously happens with a click of a button.  Now anything that easy doesn’t work, and if by some chance it does, it can’t last and won’t put out long-term results.  So keep this in mind.

The people I subscribe to are those that have been good to me by either providing me with quality content and don’t throw sales pitches every e-mail they send.  This is just good business as usual.  A truly expert Internet Marketer (or atleast an expert in e-mail marketing) will build your trust and do their absolute best to earn your trust.  And in return, you may buy a product or two from them instead of from Joe-shmoe Internet Marketing Guru who treats you like a number.

Now only do you want to listen and keep on the lists of those who give you great content and useful information, you’ll also want to take notes on why they are probably so successful and piggyback from their successes.  If it works for them, over time, it can probably work for you too!

Another great way of managing the e-mail lists you belong to is find the top professional on each subject and only subscribe to one pro from each topic you are interested in.  For example, if you wanted to learn more about Internet Marketing with Blogging, you’d probably join Yaro Starak’s mailing list.  If you wanted to learn more about List Building and Opt-ins you’d may want to join Ewen Chia’s e-mail list.  If you wanted to learn more about monetizing your website with Google Adsense Ads, then Joel Comm’s list might be a good one to be on… and so on and so on.

Every Internet Marketer has their strengths, and it’s important to learn from those you feel are the best at what they do, and in return, keep your inbox clear of fluff and useless crap I know you don’t want to have in their.  The Entrepenuers listed above, for example, I feel to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and the best at what they do.

To make a long story short, surround yourself (and your inbox) with those that are successful in what they do, and in turn, you can learn from the best.  Remember, not everyone that claims to be a Guru really is, and most of the time, if they are, they aren’t going to brag about it up and down and make a spectacle of themselves.  Whether you use the term Guru, Teacher, Professional, Trainer, etc. it all comes down to the quality of information in which they do or do not provide. 

So take this inconsideration when sifting through hundreds upon hundreds of e-mails in your inbox, and for the sake of filling your brain with valuable information and not information overload.

In the world of Internet Marketing, Mindset is crucial in creating success with your online business.  In order to be successful, one must hold on to the picture of success in their own mind, and NEVER let it go.

The Internet Marketing world is waaay to competitive not to.  Don’t get me wrong, their is tons of room for growth, although many so called “Guru’s” would argue that their is not.  But never has their been more of a need to build an income online, than right now. 

In the state of the economy, more and more people are being laid off.  People are losing their jobs and living off of unemployment.  In Oregon and Washington, finding a job is almost a downright joke. 

However, when one has a self-sustaining business as an Internet Marketer, they no longer need to wait at the unemployment office.  They’ve taken complete control over their own income and sustainability… atleast ideally.

I’ve written a lot on the mindset of success and it’s importance in the Internet Marketing world.  It is extremely easy to get caught up in the latest marketing craze, whether it’s getting massive traffic free, or a new source of online income, or whatever.  All to often a silent concept is preached in a lot of the sales copies, e-mail copies and in the information products that are being bought day in and day out.  And this “silent concept” is a killer, atleast from an Internet Marketing / Online Business standpoint.  The concept simply states that “The Internet Marketing world is too hard and near impossible… unless you buy my product!”

I mean, as Internet Marketers, we are taught to find the “pain” in people and act on it.  The same principles apply to the brick and mortar sales world.  It can truly make you feel defeated, if not careful and can dampen your spirit, creating a feeling of success being unattainable.

It is extremely important, I mean really, really, really important, that when we look in to the newest information product or Internet Marketing service, to keep in mind the following:

1.  Anyone is capable of success, if willing to accept it and go for it.

2.  Anyone who is willing to put in the effort deserves success.

3.  There is no “eternal” secret to long-term Internet Marketing success.  You simply can’t press a magic button and rake in the cash.  This may work for short term success, but it will never last.

4.  Success is built by endurance and gradual growth and following a system that is time tested and works and being able to make small tweaks or adjustments along the way.

5.  Repetition of a successful system brings more success.

So next time you read a sales letter telling you that you can’t achieve success unless you buy their product, don’t let it fool you.  Yes, information products can teach us successful techniques and provide us with extremely valuable information, but DON’T sell yourself short.  Inside everyone are the keys to success.  Most of us know more about Internet Marketing than we realize and simply cut corners or waste our time on some push-button plan that wastes our precious, valuable time, energy and money.

When it comes down to it, we have to treat Internet Marketing as a true business and not a hobby.  Many of us make that mistake and it takes a lot of time before we realize that is just what we are doing.  When we start taking our success and our Internet Business seriously and take action, then is when we truly achieve Internet Marketing Success.

Til Next Time…

To YOUR Success,
