Without These 4 Things, Your Hopes Of Making Big Money Online Are Over!

Ok, you want to make it big online right? You want to be an authority in your niche and be seen as an expert right? Well there are a few things you must have in order to make that dream come true. Without them you are just scraping by like most internet marketers out there.

The first thing you must have in order to make real money online is a web host. You can make money promoting other peoples sites but until you claim that traffic for your own, you are only making someone else rich. When you have a lot of traffic coming to your site instead of someone else’s site you can do a lot of things to monetize that traffic. Even if you are promoting affiliate products, you still need your own web pages to do it because everyone and their dog is promoting the cookie cutter affiliate pages that are provided and you need to look different and authoritative. You need to give your potential customers a reason to buy from you instead of the thousands of others out there doing the same things. The best host in my opinion is Host Gator, you get everything you need for only $10 per month with the best reliability and customer service.

The 2nd thing you need is a domain name. You need a place where your customers and potential customers can find you. Make it easy to remember, catchy, and as short as possible. You don’t have to think for days on it either, the best thing to do is to register your name as a domain name. You need to do this before someone else does. I know, I had my name registered and built up some traffic to the blog I had there and ended up losing it during a time when I couldn’t get online and now someone else has it and I can’t get it back, at least until it comes up for renewal and that’s only if the person that owns it doesn’t renew it. Big mistake! Registering your name will make you look like an authority and make your contacts and customers be able to easily remember your name and where your website is located. You can do this for around $10 per year or so. There are numerous domain registrars, but I normally use Namecheap because it is inexpensive and just as good as the rest. You can also find coupons online to make it even less expensive.

The 3rd major thing you need to make it big online is an autoresponder account. You need to build a list to market to and the only real safe and effective way to do that is to use a service that takes care of all the deliverability and reliability issues for you. Building a list is key because you can market to your list over and over. You can get those people into your product funnel and sell them on multiple products in your niche instead of just a one time purchase. Most big time marketers use Awebber to host their lists because it is simply the best. I use Profollow for 2 reasons: For one, it uses the same scripts as Awebber and has the same deliverability and reliability stats. For two, it is less expensive than Awebber and we all know that the lower your overhead, the higher your profits.

The 4th thing you need to really get ahead online is persistence. You simply must stay with it for the long term. Too many marketers are jumping from one thing to another because they don’t see results in a week or two. This business takes some time to build up and if you don’t give yourself the time to see any results, you won’t get any. You may see immediate results, you may not. It may take months of work to see big returns, but it has the snowball effect. When you start you may see little to no returns but the longer you stay with it the more results you will see, until one day your business just explodes and you have no idea why. You must plant the seeds and nurture the seedlings once they sprout in order to harvest the fruits of the tree.

You may be saying but I don’t want to spend any money, I want to get started online for free. Well ok sure you can do that by promoting affiliate products, but like I said you are just making the product owner richer. If this is the path you choose, I urge you to take your initial profits and invest in your business so it can grow and make you rich instead of everyone else! Remember, the purchases I am recommending here are very inexpensive and absolutely essential to your long term success. You can do everything I have described here for about 30 dollars per month and a once a year domain fee of around 10 dollars or so.

If you really want to make it big online, this is where you start. If you have these 4 things you are off to a great start. Persistence is key, you simply must not give up. Don’t get discouraged when something doesn’t seem to be working. You will find what works for you if you just keep at it and don’t give up. Remember this is a business and you must treat it like one, and I don’t know of any business online or offline that doesn’t require some kind of investment.
