One thing I can never seem to understand is why so many people get online and try to reinvent the wheel. Why do you want to make things harder on yourself? There are plenty of blueprints you can follow that will make your journey to success a lot smoother. So don't try to reinvent the wheel. Follow a system or blueprint that you know already works. This will not only save you time, but it will save you a lot of money and frustration.
Here is a simple blueprint you can follow that will help you start moving towards that first sale:
Step 1 - Find a hungry crowd to feed. By hungry crowd I just mean a huge market that you know has a proven record of spending a lot of money. Examples, the weight loss market, the make money market, the relationship market and the self help market. All four of these make billions of dollars each year.
Step 2 - After you figure out which hungry crowd you want to feed, its time to feed them. By feeding I simply mean find a product that you know that want, and show it to them. The quickest way to find a product is to go to clickbank.
Step 3 - Next you want to purchase a domain name you can use to redirect traffic to your affiliate or product salespage. A domain name should run you no more than $10 a year. Or if your like me, you will purchase a .info which will only run you about $2-$7 a year.
Step 4 - Start sending traffic to your domain name so you can make sales. You job is to drive as much traffic to your domain name as you can. Write articles, create videos and submit press releases. Do whatever you can do drive as much traffic to your domain name as possible. When it boils down to it, he who has the most traffic will make the most money.
