10 Steps to Online Success

It gets asked from time to time here on WF and elsewhere.

People want to know the 'best' way to get started making money online.

And while it’s true that there are endless possibilities, my personal favorite and possibly the most likely to succeed for newcomers is as follows ...

And let me just say, there’s nothing difficult about this, - literally anyone can do it for very limited outlay.

Here goes ...


Step 1) Create a 10 - 15 page report offering huge value and interest in your market/niche (this will be your freebie giveaway)

Step 2) Also create a 30 - 40 page book that solves ONE SPECIFIC problem in your market. And this will be your PAID PRODUCT.

Step 3) Put together a Squeeze Page on a related name domain, and offer your freebie on it.


Step 4) Put up a Sales Page offering your Paid Product for a low $7 to build buyers list. When people subscribe to your freebie, you immediately send them to this page as an OTO.


Step 5) Drive traffic to squeeze page - redirect opt-ins to your Sales/OTO Page

Step 6) Be sure to remove buyers from your freebie list. Have two lists 1) leads 2) customers

Step 7) Send auto responder emails to your leads list with links to your "paid" product. Again, segment anyone who purchases onto the buyers list exactly as before.

Step 8) Survey your “Customers” (not “leads”) to discover what they need/want to know more about. What are their pressing problems? Then, based on their responses, promote either affiliate products or better still, your own products, to them.

Step 9) When your next paid product is created, you sell that to your Buyers List, and you can segment those buyers onto another list

Step 10) The, you just keep refining your sales funnel in this way. Promoting and creating products, moving your customers from a low priced product up to a high priced product, and segmenting your lists along the way.


If you get this right, and your products (either yours or affiliate products) provide real tangible value, you’ll soon be well on your way to being a successful internet marketer.

In my opinion, probably the main reason people fail is they don't follow this simple formula. They try to over complicate things. They also seem to frustrate their own efforts by trying to foresee problems with a process well down the line.


What they totally fail to understand is that they’ll evolve and broaden their knowledge as they progress down the line too. They don’t understand that what may be blurred now will probably be crystal clear once they actually get to that part of the process, because they’ve learned along the way.


I bet most people reading this right now are far smarter than many who have made it huge online. But if you fail to grasp this simple concept, you will probably struggle to reach their level of success in this field.


I hope you get some value from this post. Read it. Grasp the simplicity of it. Then DO it!


All the best

    Sometimes I can't believe how simple it is to start an online business. Notice I'm saying "simple" and not "easy".

    When I just got started online it was hard to believe that following those 10 steps could lead to a six figure or even seven figure online business. Then I realized that most of the successful online marketers are following those steps or at least a very similar set of steps to achieve success.

    For those that don't have the money to invest in all the latest fancy products or trainings, understand that if you can follow those steps you don't necessarily need to buy a bunch of products and/or trainings.

    Don't make the excuse of not having the funds to invest in coaching or expensive training because most trainings and coaches are going to teach you to follow those same exact steps. Once you follow those steps and begin to make a decent income then you will have the funds to invest in a coach or extra training to take your business to the next level.
