3 Ways to Succeed Making Money Online

As of today I am one of the Top 50 contestants in the running to be on the first ever web reality show called "Next Internet Millionaire."

I've been studying and succeeding at Internet Marketing for over 15 years now. My skills range from SEO, Copywriting, Affiliate Managing, Shopping Carts, Email Marketing, Web Design & Development... you name it..,,, I've worked at understanding it to become successful and make money online.

It's my goal to become the Next Internet Millionaire and win this show.

Once I win the competition I will then do a joint venture with Joel Comm which will produce up to a million dollars. I have "THE Million Dollar Idea". It's a hot, new technology that has JUST been release people will LOVE - guaranteed. The timing is perfect.

There is A LOT of information out there about making money and succeeding online. Everyone is on information overload. It's tiresome and frustrating.

I've come to find out there are 3 basic principles you must follow to succeed in your business online:

1. Find a Hungry Niche Market BEFORE You Start Selling

This is key. Most people will spend countless hours and a good portion of their whole life pouring their passion, time and energy into creating a product or service they just know people are going to LOVE.

They think they have THE "hot" product everyone is going to buy which will make themselves a fortune online. Maybe it's because they themselves love it so it MUST be a good idea. Or maybe their friends tell them it's going to make them millions.

This same person doesn't test anything. Ultimately they are going into the dark promoting something they never even figured out if there was a market for. What ends up happening? They never make any money. And passion turns to frustration, anger and a bunch of lost time and money.

You MUST test to see if there is a market BEFORE you try to sell anything.

The best way to do this is through a probe campaign.

Throw up a one page site that asks visitors to answer the question: "What is the number ONE thing you want to know about ________?"

Fill in the blank according to the nature of your product you want to develop. Let people tell you what they want. In turn, you will take the most common answer to figure out how to develop your product by tailoring it according to the needs of the people.

Once you are finished creating your product you will have something that you know is in demand that people want to buy because they have told you so. You now have a hungry market ready and willing to buy what you will offer.

2. Solve a Problem - Quickly

The "Information Age" is about speed. People have problems. If you don't have one, I'm sure I can find a handful of people that can spare you a few problems of their own.

The fact is, most people do NOT go online to buy. They go online looking for information or to solve a problem.

What you need to do is find an untapped niche market. This is a group of people who are going online to solve a problem, but finding it hard to find a solution.

Most people want instant gratification to solve their problems instantly. Through the power of the Internet and instant digital products you can easily sell people solutions to problems quickly.

Keep in mind people want: speed and convenience.

If you can relieve someone else's problem, headache or worries by giving them the solution they are looking for in a quick and convenient way, you've got it made.

3. Hypnotic Copywriting to Convert Sales

Once you've found a hungry niche market and come up with a product that will satisfy the wants of people and you do so quickly the next thing you'll want to focus on is COPYWRITING.

Now, anyone can write.

But are you able to write catchy headlines? Can you entice people to want to buy YOUR product? Are you able to literally hypnotize someone stopping them in their tracks when they read the copy on YOUR website?

People's attentions spans are about the lifespan of a gnat these days.

You MUST dig into the emotion of your visitor. People buy on emotion then justify with logic. So make sure you get emotional. Pretend you are reading your sales copy. Why would make YOU drawn in wanting to read more?

I find writing a story is compelling. Get personal. Write from your heart. Write as if you are writing to your best friend. People want to know you are a real life human being across that computer screen.

The most important element of the copy above ANYTHING is your HEADLINE.

If you are a good copywriter you will test your headline numerous times until you get it right and it starts converting into sales for you.

Focus on your headline and your benefits. People want to know what's in it for them. So TELL THEM. List out all the reasons why your product is going to change their lives for the better. Tell them why their internal state will be changed forever.
