Making $$ Online In Your Underwear -Truth or Fiction?

Back in 1996, I read somewhere that in the future people would make money with their computers online. In fact the caption headline was something like "Work from home in your underwear and Make Money!" As I sat and daydreamed about the day I could be making money from home in MY Underwear, I set out to learn as much as I could about Internet marketing.

At the time, I just wanted to subsidize my income from my then 9 to 5. Then 911 came and my six figure tech job decided to use the opportunity to clean house. I was laid off and I haven't had a 9 to 5 since! It hasn't been easy but I have been able to consistently grow a successful online marketing business. I sell all kinds of products and services. At last count, I have over 40 websites selling or sales supporting something.

My strength seems to be able to take products and or services, create a squeeze page with split testing, run some traffic and make sales. Sounds one two three easy when I say it, but it's not. I sometimes forget that I have been online for 11 years. I have been playing around with computers for about the same time. I studied marketing in college and I have been in sales for years. I believe in working smarter not harder so I automate a number of my basic daily functions. Many people don't have this experience and online marketing and admin is challenging to say the least.

Most people I speak with want to subsidize their income with online marketing. Some of these people have their own products and services and some don't. Some have bought into the online courses and joined a number of the "get rich quick" make 100K tonight schemes. They can always get excited about the online marketing potential but when it comes down to getting the work done . . . This is where their limited knowledge kicks in.

Everyone wants the quick one two three when it comes to making money online. Who has 10 years to putz around learning this stuff? Like the music business, everyone wants to be an overnight success!

If you find yourself in a similar situation, my words to you are that nothing happens overnight! I suggest always to learn and understand the basics. Once you learn the basics of online marketing you're in the drivers seat. Knowledge is power!

Kathie Lucas and Denise Hall have put together 47 Newbie Marketing Training Videos. I suggest these videos to my clients. They cover a ton of basic topics like . . . How to purchase a domain name, how to use FTP, HTML basics, how to set up your sales page, how to optimize your site for search engines. For $15.00, the price of a pizza, you could be well on your way to a successful career with online marketing.

Now true, you could just hire someone but then not understanding what they are doing doesn't help you in the long run. Why I suggest the videos is because you can watch them over and over or watch them while you are actually doing the work. You can use stop and pause functionality to learn while you work. Later if you still decide to hire someone at least they won't be able to take advantage of your lack of knowledge.

My experience says that making money online is both truth and fiction. Everyone marketing online is not making money but there are a lot of people who make hundreds, thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars every day/week/month/year online while in their underwear. Those are my kind of people! Now if I could just learn how to make money while I sleep!
