In effect, my system for making money online is built on three
foundations: the Internet, marketing and the product.
In this topic, we are going to look closely at each one of those. In
particular, we’ll spend a lot of time talking about marketing because
that is really how you make money online.
Let’s begin by taking a quick glance at why the Internet is the
greatest business opportunity since the railroad.
The Internet actually started in 1969 as the ARPANET, a Defense
Department system designed to let survivors share files after a nuclear
attack. From a handful of top secret computers, it’s grown to fill more
than 10 million hosts and millions of domain names.
And it’s still growing. According to a recent survey, the volume of
Internet traffic is expected to double annually over the next five years.
Consumers are expected to account for 60 percent of all Internet
traffic over that period with the rest of the market made up of
business users.
What does that mean for you?
It means customers — millions of them.
No other business tool can put the products you sell to so many
people so easily. Nothing even comes close.
We’re talking about a potential market of hundreds of millions of
people around the world who can buy your products 24 hours a day,
365 days a year. If you opened a store in your city, how many people
would walk past your window each month? If you live in Manhattan,
maybe a few thousand. If you live in Los Olivos, California, maybe a
few hundred. On the Internet, there’s virtually no limit to the number
of people you can bring through your store front wherever you live.
That’s the power of the Internet. That’s why my online business is
bringing in thousands of dollars every day. I attract a lot of customers
for my service and I sell a lot of goods.
