subject: From ZerØ To Million$ - Is Info Marketing For You? by:Neil Asher [print this page] You hear the stories all the timeYou hear the stories all the time. Some guy without a great education teaches himself how to set up a page on the Internet. He's got no experience writing books or selling anything, but somehow he manages to create an information product and put it out there in cyberspace for people to buy and read.
Well, it turns out there's some demand the product. So before you can say "mouse click," the guy's running a multi-million-dollar business, has a home by the ocean, and spends his days remotely managing a team of geeks who bring him profits beyond your wildest dreams.
Frankly, I would not believe a single one of those success stories, except for one thing. That's what happened to me.
I started out in 2001 with nothingand I mean living in a trailer without a job and not knowing how to pay next month's rent. Over the next six years, my information marketing business zoomed faster than I could have possibly imagined. It shot to where I'm going to make about $25 million in business this year from all my information products.
That's no brag, just fact. And anybody who knows me will tell you that I'm just a normal guy. I really started from scratch. I made my first dollar in a category that had nothing to do with Internet marketing. I saw a way I could help people, and by helping them, I could get paid. I could make money online. And that seemed to me like the best way to go about it.
If people ask me for advice, I give it to them. In fact, I don't always wait for someone to ask. I give it away all the time to anybody willing to listen. That's because information marketing is an exciting and very profitable business. I'm selling real stuff, to real people, giving them real help with their lives and making real money in what's been called a "virtual" or "unreal" environment.
Thankfully, there's a lot more "professionalization" involved in Internet marketing today than there was when I was getting started. Hopefully, I've played a role in some of the improvements that have come about. I really encourage anyone who wants to start an online business to go about it professionally. It costs nothing extra, and it can really impact your success.
I went from just doing okay, to doing very well, to making millions of dollars a year in this information marketing business. I've helped others do the same. I've introduced people and helped them start collaborations that have gone on to be very successful. I enjoy the role of being a mentor. I like seeing the people I've helped succeed.
But I don't let it go to my head. I live in a simple apartment, not a mansion. I drive one car, not three or four. I still play lead guitar with my friends in an amateur rock band. I'll admit: I'm no Eric Clapton. But we have a lot of fun playing, and I don't have to worry about selling records or booking concerts tours to pay the bills.
No, information marketing makes it possible for me to live the life I love. And I fully believe it can do the same for you. So ask yourself, "If Neil can make it big through information marketing, why can't I?"
Maybe you've got nothing right now, but zero is where it all begins. The millions are out there, waiting for those who believe that the next success story will be theirs to tell.
