Do you want to know how to be a successful Internet marketer?
Have you had enough of...
ENOUGH attending FREE introductory internet marketing mastery workshops and seminars with high hopes and signing up for yet another expensive home study course or mentoring program and ending up with nothing much to show for it a year later other than being more in debt...
ENOUGH reading of course materials, workbooks, listening to countless CDs and watching DVDs prepared for you by different "Internet Gurus" handing you all their internet marketing strategies but still finding yourself stuck and confused and with more money going out than coming in months later...
ENOUGH receiving those emails from all those lists you have somehow gotten yourself onto that pour into your inbox every single day with blazing headlines and emotional hooks to get you yet again to pull out your credit card and buy something else that you absolutely must buy to ensure your success before that incredible offer expires any time soon and of course IT WILL NEVER EVER BE REPEATED ... and 6 months later you still haven't manifested any new cash flow and your still not able to pay off your credit card balance at the end of the month?
ENOUGH invitations to join a MUST ATTEND webinar or tele-seminar so that you don't miss out on some more gems that will ensure your internet marketing success... and afterwards you are still unsure how to take effective action and get real tangible results?
ENOUGH telling your spouse that all the thousands of dollars you have spent on your education and all those hours you have spent on weekends attending seminars and workshops and being glued to your computer screen till late at night rather than being focused on your family is worth it because you are just about to break through to your success and turn your dream into reality...
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, RIGHT?
I KNOW - BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THERE AND I SYMPATHIZE AND EMPATHIZE WITH ANYONE WHO IS STILL STUCK THERE.
Where and when does it end? How long can you keep up the false hope and pretence that success is just around the corner? How soon before your spouse gets jack of it and puts her or his foot down?
How long before your ego is so worn down and that you are ready to throw the towel in, give up on your dream of financial freedom and resign yourself to being shackled to a W2 job until you either retire (if you can afford to) or are cast off by your boss when you are no longer needed?
Here is the hard truth - and let it sink in ...
The Internet is the easiest thing that is hard to do and only about 5% of those who try their hand at internet marketing truly succeed in creating a 6-figure annual income out of it and less than 1% achieve a 7-figure annual income.

This is what the 10 Critical Steps to Gaining Better Results Online is all about.
WHAT ARE THE 10 CRITICAL STEPS?
ACQUIRE THE RIGHT MINDSET First and foremost - understand how your mind works and how to harness it to aid and guarantee your success.
CREATE A VIABLE BUSINESS PLAN Decide what your outcome is to be in the Internet Game before you get busy doing stuff and buying stuff and define it with as much precision and clarity as you can.
IDENTIFY A VIABLE NICHE OR NICHES. Carefully research and choose your target market and niche. don't end up building your carefully constructed success ladder against the wrong wall! Make sure that you dig where there is gold to be found. This is why the big corporations often spend millions on feasibility studies and research before committing to a new venture. don't waste a first class business plan by applying it to a commercially unviable niche. These days there are a plethora of incredible software tools you can use to help you manage this critical step and many of them are free.
ENSURE THAT YOU OFFER AND DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL VALUE TO YOUR NICHE The marketplace demands exceptional value to get excited about anything and anyone. So don't make the huge mistake of going to market without being able to satisfy this critical step.
APPLY THE RIGHT TRAFFIC STRATEGIES TO BRING THE RIGHT PROSPECTS TO YOUR WEBSITE. Without traffic (visitors to your website) there is no opportunity presented to build a business. So a website's traffic supply is equivalent to a body's blood supply.
APPLY THE RIGHT MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES TO CONVERT PROSPECTS TO CLIENTS. So if you are getting the right sort of traffic to your website then all that remains for you to do to bring yourself one step closer to success is to CONVERT that traffic into paying clients and then try to retain them as loyal repeat purchasing clients for as long as you can.
BUILD YOU'RE 'A-TEAM' TO EXECUTE YOUR BUSINESS PLAN. At the same time you are constructing your comprehensive Business Plan (which is in effect your Success Plan) you should be building the right Team to execute it. don't fall into the trap of becoming a lone ranger and trying to do everything yourself! Learn how to "work to your strengths and hire your weaknesses." Outsource and build a team around you of the right people with the right skills you need to execute your success plan.
BUILD A LOYAL FOLLOWING AND FORGE MULTIPLE JOINT VENTURES AND HOST BENEFICIARY RELATIONSHIPS. A central message of mine in this report is that the best and most effective pathway to wealth using internet marketing is to build a dedicated following of people in your selected niches who trust and respect you, look up to you as a leader In your field and who will give serious thought to buying any product that you offer or recommend to them.
LEARN OR ACQUIRE THE RIGHT BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS. Execute your Plan using exponential thinking and employing exponential strategies. Measure your actions and your results daily.
FIND THE RIGHT MENTOR OR MENTORS. Last, but definitely not least, find a good Mentor that you can trust. You will never regret it! A good mentor is worth his or her weight in gold and will accelerate your success at any stage of your personal, business or financial progress by helping you avoid or minimize the pitfalls and mistakes that can continually frustrate success.
And there you have it. Surprised? Were you expecting to see something different? Make sense? If not yet, I am sure it will all make good sense to you by the time you finish reading this report. It goes to the heart of my central message, which is the whole reason I am making the time and putting in the effort to write this report.
