It isn't any secret that it is getting harder and harder to rank well in the search engines.
There are several reasons for this. One is simply the fact that big business has discovered the power of the Internet as a promotional media. You are now competing with players that have very deep pockets and more companies are starting to realize the importance of quality SEO.
Another reason is the search engines themselves are cracking down on junk web pages. The competition is fierce for the advertising dollars of the guy's and girls with the deep pockets so the importance of returning quality search results is priory one.
Even pro sports teams have expensive websites like the Detroit Lions, and Tigers have cool sites and even the Chicago Bears have one.
I mean come on Lions, Tigers and Bears oh my what's an average webmaster going to do?
So is the dream of working from home earning a six figure from the Internet over for the average Jane and Harvey?
I have to say yeah. The reason I say that is that the "average home business hopeful" isn't going to put in the time and added effort that it will take to make their business work. Believe me it does take real work.
The Internet is Capitalism at its finest or worst depending on where you are in the food chain.
There are no magic solutions, and the "Shocking Truth to Internet Marketing Success" will not be revealed no matter what the sales page tells you.
All that being said I really think the Internet provides the best option for building a better and more fulfilling way of life, for anyone that wants it bad enough that is.
So what do you need to do to make it work for you?
Step one...don't chase the latest how to scheme. This is tough to avoid, I know because I have done it many times myself, and what always happens is you windup doing a little bit of everything and end up earning a whole lot of nothing.
Which leads me to step two...Study successful marketers but don't follow. Look beyond the latest product that they are pushing and study their business model. That is where the money making knowledge is.
Your success will come by taking the knowledge of what business plans work online and personalizing the bits and pieces of each to form your own business model.
The real money on the Internet is made by those that are out front of the pack, for instance...someone will have success with the newest must have "Thing" and before you know it your inbox is full with phase one emails.
They are from the affiliates promoting the latest must have "Thing". Everyone is telling you how the "Thing" has increased their income by a bazilon percent and if you don't want to miss out you better act now because of course it's a limited offer.
Next your inbox is full of phase two emails. These are the copycat versions of the latest must have "Thing". The drag is you bought the "Thing" for $97.77 but now you can get IM Joes version and five thousand bonuses for only $39.95 bummer.
Software and automation tools are great and can be a real time saver for any online based business. The problem is that most of us waste too much time buying and learning the latest miracle piece of software, when instead if we utilized the scripts and tools to their fullest that we already own, we could invest our time in building more sites, writing and submitting more articles and developing our own products.
Which brings me to step three...Focus, Action Follow-through.
A great example of this is Captain Tim Gordon from Keywordavalanche. He works full time in the US Military like fourteen hours a day but is still able to generate eight or ten thousand a month simply by building quality sites and promoting them mainly with article marketing.
Nothing fancy, nothing glamorous but how many people are making that kind of income from their full time jobs let alone a part-time gig?
So if there is a real "Shocking Secret for Making Money Online" it would be Focus + Action + Follow-through. Everything else falls a distant second to these.
So in conclusion if you're not making the kind of income from your online business that you hoped you would, I produced a must have piece of software that will help you destroy your competition...(only kidding, sorry I couldn't resist), take an assessment of what you have already bought and learned online, formulate a business plan and execute it.
It doesn't matter what it is, AdSense, affiliate marketing, selling your own products just give it your full attention for at least three months and then decide if is worth continuing with or moving on.
There is no quick fix for building a real business. I remember reading an interview with BB King where he told the interviewer that it only took him twenty years to become an overnight success!
