How Simple It Should Be - And An Easy Business Model

7 replies
Hi everyone!

For my part, I have for a long time struggled with understanding the bigger picture about internet marketing.

What would it take for me to be successfull?

What business model should I follow?

Where do I start?

It was only recently it occurred to me:

BUSINESS IS SIMPLE!

To make six figures, all you need is a base of 1,000 fans that are willing to "give" you 100$ a year from stuff you sell, affiliate or vendor! That simple realization made me BELIEVE that it will be possible for me to achieve my goals!

And the business model? Extremely simple!

Offer value through a free guide -> Offer even MORE value if they subscribe -> GET TRAFFIC TO SQUEEZE PAGE (paid or free traffic) -> Once they subscribe, have an autoresponder ready with emails for 60 days worth of promotions (ideally including your own product) -> Make money!

That is actually all it takes; that is the math of internet marketing I have now FINALLY realized!

I am not saying it is easy; HELL NO!

But is 1,000 fans giving you 100$ a year achievable?

HELL YEAH!

          Don't confuse "simple" with "easy", my friend.

          Yes, it takes time, but it can be done. You build this the same way you eat an elephant - one bite at a time.

    Hi Andreas,

    Glad you have a game plan. The hardest part, really, is sitting down and getting it done. If you have ideas and a great place to outsource your work, it's much easier. Then you can take your ideas and have the "other guys" do it. Really speeds up the process. All the best to you.

    Andreas,

    What is simple and easy for many aspiring Internet marketers is the overall dream of earning a large income and enjoying a relaxing lifestyle.

    But it seems to me that what eludes most of these folks are three things:
    • Finding a productive niche and product/service that addresses a need
    • The ability to create and execute a daily business routine
    • The focus and discipline to stick to a plan for the long haul

    In my experience, the difficult part is not the big picture. The difficult part of IM business lies in carrying out all the mundane, sometimes boring details that are responsible for most business success.

    The best of luck to you,

    Steve

    Hi,

    Get as much of this outsourced as you can my friend.

    Focus on what brings in the money and watch your numbers constantly.

    This way you know when to scale up your numbers and what you
    can afford to spend on traffic.

    Once you know your average visitor value you can then gauge what
    price per click you can afford to pay for each visitor.

    Great post and another great guide to clear the path of information
    overload so many have these days.

    Have a great day!
    Gavin
