INTERNET MARKETING

I will be getting another clickbank check soon.. seeing that making money online is possible I would like to make this into a "real business" at this point all I have been doing is writing articles direct them mainly to a merchant page. It works but I am getting burnt out.. I know people will say outsource but article marketing is not really a good business model..so I have been thinking about

Creating mini adsense sites - I have been reading posts on here don't rely soley on adsense plus the fact that google can shut down your adsense account ect.. I know there is alot more that goes ito it (keyword research, domain purchase, niche seletion, backlinks ect).. I know also that its going to require building sites plus providing content doing it this way it might take months to see my ROI if I outsource everything..

Building a list - Ive seen this in this forum over an over "build a list" Most people are in the MMO niche but everyone is doing that plus it saturated.. If I do build a list I don't want to be limited as to what I provide products ect..

I just want to come up with a good plan before I take action rather than keep writing article after article..build backlinks ect..thoughts/ opinions?

Hello,
Please believe what everyone says about building a list. It is absolutely one of the best things you can do to build a real, sustainable business. The wise members of this incredible forum are correct with this one, believe me. If you're not building a list at every opportunity, you are leaving money on the table.
Thanks, and good luck!
Ted

MMO is not saturated. There are so many sub niches. You can make tons of money there if you want. For example make money online with facebook, blogging, adsense, ppc, cpa, twitter. List goes on.

MMO is where people spend money most. Market is huge. Why do you want to search for low competition niches where market is tiny? What happens if some more experienced marketer enters your niche? He/she will take most of your customers.

My advice is: enter MMO, start with affiliate marketing and build your list while promoting products. Once experienced, create your own product.

Adsense sites have had their day in the sun, I'd like to hear that some are still doing well with them, but I understand that making easy money with 100s of scraped sites with 1000s of pages are over. Adsense can still be a useful supplemental source for paying te electric bill in high traffic sites earning other advertising revenue.

Although the younger generation is not so much into email, there's still a lot of talk from the gurus about building a list, it's part of a longer game of relationship building, as well creating a good reputation.

I would not send your visitors directly to the merchant, I would do something to try and capture their name and email address. Offer a free bonus gift if they order from your link, a free report, something to give them to give you their email address.

BUILD A LIST

You MUST do this, or youre leaving an UNBELIEVABLE amount of money on the table.

Get Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 (It must be 11, its the best one)

And use it. I can "write" over 10,000 words an hour. I just speak into a microphone.
It transcribes everything I say, because I've trained it fully to understand me.
