The only way to make 6 Figures Next Year

13 replies
There is only one real way to make money online, and when I say real money I mean real money.

I'm not talking about about inconsistent little checks that make you happy cause some idiot discovered a glitch and they paid half of the water bill I am talking about real income you can quit your job with, travel, and basically do whatever you want.

You need to

1.) Have your own website.

Now the type of website that works specifically well is a direct response website. a website that has one purpose and one purpose only.

And that purpose needs to be clearly stated with a call to action. A call to action is basically you telling someone exactly what you want them to do, without sugar coating it or being a wussy.

Now there are many types of direct response websites and many different calls to action.

This website also needs to employ proven marketing triggers and tactics for higher conversions including Authority, Scarcity, Social proof.

You also need to clearly define what you have, whats in it for them and what they need to do next.

Clearly present your offer in a benefit filled way.

My favorite type of direct response website is a page that collects email addresses in exchange for a name and email address.

This way you can continue to communicate and follow up with your visitors. Build relationship and trust with them.

Which brings us to the next key component.

2.) Have Something to Sell

Now in order to make money you need to have something to sell, this can either be your own product or an affiliate product, preferably your own.

Which is perfect because after you follow the next step you will have a list big enough to easily pull in a 6 figure income.

Now in order to sell effectively online you need to provide good valuable and useful content.

The better your content is the more you will sell. You are gaining trust, building relationship further and gradually increasing your authority.

Make sure your content is good and helpful, and at the very end of it make a small call to action, that says basically if you liked this video go here to get another video or some type of offer that will help you ... fill in the blank.

you basically want to cover what you have how it helps them and what to do next.

3.) Get Targeted Traffic

Now you need to send targeted traffic to your offer. When I say targeted I mean only people who are interested in what you have to sell.

You don't have to spend millions to put your offer in front of un targeted people any more.

There are lot's of different ways to do this, you could either buy advertising on related websites forums and blogs.

You could create lot's of keyword optimize content good content not crap spun B.S. content, but good useful content that helps people.

You could guest post them on blogs, submit to article directories, web 2.0 sites then bookmark this content.

You could turn the content into videos and post it to youtube and many other video sharing sites.

You could setup a direct response style blog and create keyword optimized content and build backlinks to it with press releases and bookmarking,

Focus on giving first and everything will be just fine.

      the ones who will make 6 figures next year already understand that, but it is good to mention.

      Don't be fooled part of marketing is all about selling the lifestyle and an end goal, so they lead you to believe that they don't work in all reality they do. sitting on your ass working a computer is not hard work.

      But it does take focused effort.

      So everybody remember to work hard. Thanks David for bringing it up.

    "The better your content is the more you will sell. You are gaining trust, building relationship further and gradually increasing your authority."

    This part especially is true. If you don't have something that is of value your going to loose peoples trust and wont be able to sell to them again.

      I see it from people all the time, posting one or two line articles and having a blog full of adsense ads.

      Then they are wondering why they aren't making any money.

      Buyers aren't as stupid as some may think, they are actually quite intelligent. Which is good because I would rather has a list of intelligent clients and leads than a bunch of idiots all trying to get rich over night for doing nothing.

      Thanks Nick - I agree with everything you say - but for me the bottom line is:-

      "Are you able to work from home, to motivate yourself everyday and are you able to ignore the many distractions that working from home brings?"

      The blueprint is clear and appears so simple and straight forward on paper but if you can't do the above - you might as well forget it. I speak from personal experience and wish there was someway of dealing with the distractions and the level of motivation required to stick at it. I am not afraid of hard work, I just find it really hard to work from home. Perhaps it is a "woman" thing????

        I have been working from home for the last 4 years. My desire to succeed is so strong that motivation is not an issue.

        If you are having trouble getting motivated you just don't want it or need it bad enough.

        As far as distractions go I have 3 young boys and only one of them is in school. I also have 2 dogs a pitbull and a chihuahua. two of the craziest types of dogs you can own in my opinion.

        Distractions arise from time to time but it's nothing I can't handle, and I get the bulk of my work done after 9 P.M with a strictly enforced bedtime.

        then I have as long as I want to work, between 9pm and 3am sometimes longer before I have to get up with the kiddies.

        which my fiancee usually takes charge of the morning shift so I can sleep in, before she goes to take care of her business which is offline.

          Nicholas, you have a great schedule there which allows you to really focus on your IM. When it's later at night and everyone's asleep, I bet it's so much easier for you to concentrate on your marketing than during the day, when distractions are all around you especially if you work at home.

          You're also absolutely right about the marketers selling the lifestyle and the dream - while we get to work at home and don't have to worry about bosses and colleagues and traffic, most of the time there are fairly long hours involved, and though it is possible to just take off for a week or two and not do anything, in many cases the income also tapers off during this period of inactivity. There's no two ways about this - to really succeed at IM, consistent and focused work is definitely needed!

          You are absolutely right of course, I probably don't want it or need it enough. However that doesn't mean I won't keep trying.

    I beg to differ though. While it's a great business model to make a 6 figure, it's definitely NOT the only way to do it.

    Affiliate marketers have the same opportunity to do it too. And I'm not talking about about inconsistent little checks that make you happy cause some idiot discovered a glitch and they paid half of the water bill I am talking about real income you can quit your job with, travel, and basically do whatever you want. (pardon the pun ...hehe)

    When I refer to affiliate marketing, I'm referring to ALL sorts of affiliate marketing, not just having a few review sites making a couple of hundred dollars, or article marketing.
