Having said that, you do know that despite all the shiny "make money in 2 seconds " that keeps popping up left right and center online, some models remain unchanged in the course of internet marketing, these ones might give room for tweaks if done in the proper way, but the basic underlying principles does not change.
These models are;
1. Affiliate marketing, where you dont have any product, but you drive both paid and free traffics to a merchant with products and just hope that a percentage of the traffic will convert into buyers, thereby availing you of commissions from the merchant.
2. Content site marketing, popularly known as adsense marketing which so many people have bastardized today by slapping together some shoddy contents and just hoping that the almighty google will direct visitors so they can monetize their sites.
3. Website flipping, this is when you build a website and monetize it either through affiliate marketing or adsense, Kontera and or through other legal means by which you monetize your site and as soon as it generates some money you list it for sale in one or more of the web flipping sites around.
4. Info Products marketing is when you create a digital product on a niche where you have a lot of starving crowd for such information and you sell either by yourself or through affiliate marketers who helps you to drive traffic to your site for commissions on whatever sales are made from such traffic.
5. Providing services for money. This is when you write articles for money, make guest post on other people's blog for money, design websites for money, consults for money, data entry, virtual assistants for money.
6. CPA marketing is what can be termed as making people to sign up, or enter zip codes, or email addresses or fill out longer forms for a company that pays you based on the number of people that carried out any of the above mentioned actions. Go here to know about CPA marketing.
7. Work at home jobs like, filling surveys, Mystery shopping, Paid to surf e.t .c are also part of this category and I can almost lump this category into service providing.
The above list encompasses all you can ever want to be in Internet marketing, regardless of the shiny software that promises riches overnight.
Let me pause at this point to tell you that there has never been anyone who made it the same day they started online. Do not mind all the Gurus who promised riches in two months. All these promises makes you to think a program is not working after three months and you keep going back to them for the next shiny object. Give it at least six 6 months of persistent working before you start seeing results and when you do, you get the motivation to know what works and what doesnt and you ramp up on what works.
Now in this list, each of the categories have various components that makes the business model work for anybody be it a newbie or a Guru, however, some components like list building, email marketing,traffic generation are the same throughout all the business models.
We shall be examining the components of each of this categories one after the other on this blog after which we will treat the common components to all the business models/categories.
Watch out for the coming article where you get to meet each of the business models face-to-face. This will be done in a way that the average Joe or the newbie can pick up immediately.
To your ability to put all what i teach you on this blog to use!!!
Cheers!
