Yes! Making Money Online Is an Art

Many marketers have the erroneous belief that if they keep advertising online they’re going to make more money. Unfortunately, harder doesn’t necessarily mean better. Here’s a better choice for making money online:

  • sell without selling.

I’m not interested if you’re selling other people’s products, promoting adsense, or marketing your own stuff, the same principle applies in all cases.

Here’s what I mean by sell without selling (that’s part of the Art of making money online):

Make friends with your potential customers first. Once you have a friend, it’s much easier to turn him into a customer (e.g. get him buy from you, and in most cases, he’ll do it again, and again..)

I want you imagine this (and I can’t be more serious than that)

Do you remember when was the last time you convinced (sold) one of your friends to watch a movie or buy a cd? Did you try any tricky advertising tactics to get him watch the movie or buy the cd?

I don’t think so. Then why do you think he took you on your recommendation?

Because the movie or cd was that good?

Because the movie or cd was low-cost?

Or is it because YOU recommended to him/her?

I think the last option applies here. And the same situation applies when you’re making money online.

  • You’re not advertising. You’re not marketing. You’re not promoting. You’re selling without selling.

Making money online is not about shooting in the dark (promoting anything to anyone, e.g. using the shotgun approach)

Making money online is not about promoting the latest big things.

Making money online is not about having big opt-in lists.

Making money online is an art, period.

It takes serious investment like time, practice, effort and money.

Plus sheer determination and perseverance.

Making money online is all about doing it (hint – I love Nike’s slogan – “Just do it!”)

Making money online is all about practising.

Making money online is all about testing and tweaking your marketing strategies.

Making money online is all about connecting with people and making friends. The more, the better.

Yes! Making Money Online Is an Art. I’ve said it. Could you prove me wrong? :)
