If you have ever wondered which Internet marketing methods will offer you the greatest opportunity and reduced your risk of failure, then you will want to read each and every word of this email.

Carefully.

You see, it was not that long ago when I was asking myself the very same question? Which methods made sense? Where should I put my time and energy?

And ultimately …

====================================================
> Can I Make Money Doing X – Y – Z and Will It Really Work?
====================================================

For two years I searched for the answer to those questions as I aimlessly jumping from one course to the next and never really took action on any of them. During that time I felt lost as I became more and more confused and began wondering whether I would ever become successful online.

However, all the studying did not go to waste because I discovered what made the most sense for me. I also began to realize which of the methods were definitely NOT for me.

This education then provided the fertile grounds for two significant decisions which shaped my online marketing. I have to tell you, these were the best financial decisions I have ever made and they resulted in freedom.

  • Freedom to work only when I want to.
  • Freedom to work with the people I choose to work with.
  • Freedom to take long dog walks with my buddy Otis.
  • Freedom to take a day off at a moment’s notice.
  • Freedom to do what I want to do and when I want to do it.

So, what are the two decisions which I made years ago?

1) I would learn to drive F.REE traffic from Google and other search engines.

One thing became quite apparent very quickly — traffic is paramount!

Those who had traffic made money and those who did not, starved. It is as simple as just that. I thought to myself, “learn to get traffic or keep your day job, Johnson.”

So, I began to look at my options for traffic.

a) PPC – This was an easy decision.

I had no money. I did not want to mess around with conversions, click costs, margins and percentages … all the stuff which PPC gurus spend hours thinking about.

Enter SEO – and My Google Period

Learning some basic SEO skills really made sense. I could get started on a shoestring budget, would not have to worry too much about stats as I would not be paying for clicks …

Any site I launched would usually break even after one or two sales and the rest would be gravy. So, I studied Google and basic SEO and the rest is history. As I am writing this email, I have an ever growing network of money making sites.
They are like my little sales army and they never need sleep. They usually go profitable with one sale a month or a few

AdSense clicks – it is a stupidly simple business model.
One in which I was smart enough to see the power years ago.

2) My Second Decision Was Based on Affiliate Marketing.

But honestly, there was also a third decision and that was about WordPress which truly shaped me as a marketer. I first learned about WordPress in a membership site called “Revenue Insider” while most members bitched and complained about the site.

Too bad … it was really good and I learned a ton.

Probably the best thing I got out of Rev Insider was WordPress. It is easy and allows me to create sites that are far more powerful (and search engine friendly) than the little hack-job sites I was launching with FrontPage.

Today, I use WordPress on 99.9% of my websites but on the remaining .1% I still use the archaic FrontPage. Please don’t tell my marketing buddies.

Most people think of WordPress as the publishing platform on which blogs are created. Thus, many people ask me about my “blogs.”

The last thing you want to become is a blogger because doing so will reduce your “success factor” by at least five levels.

CPA, it stands for cost per action.

It is hot right now and for good reason, the potential to make job ending income online is staggering when it comes to CPA. Years ago I got started with cpa myself targeting “mail order catalogs” of all things, actually that niche still makes me fantastic money each and every month.

Back in the day I thought about it as generating leads for companies, after all I was doing just that. Getting paid to generate leads, the key in CPA is finding cheap or free sources of traffic that converts and that is where Alex Goad’s free report Streaming CPA Profits really shines.

The tactic is based on targeting sporting events, think “abc team vs xyz team” is the kind of format you are looking for. Just how easy would it be to rank in Google for these types of phrases you might ask? Lots, I did it this past spring and made a killing targeting a similar sporting event phrase that was quite easy to rank for. The Giro bike race in Italy, which I converted into sales of a “watch live satelite tv” sofware program on clickbank, it was an easy $500.

From NetFrontier Marketing:

I want to expand this with more step by step detail, resources and ideas, but that will take another week or so to write up, so make sure you are on the list if you want to get part 2 (and some other great reports that are in the works).

This CPA tactic is based on very simple incentivized marketing. I wonder how long into the report before you realize how big such a thing can be scaled… Pretty amazing stuff.
