It can be made very simple to make money on the internet for anyone.

Here’s what making money as an internet marketer should boil down to: Making sales from products bought by people to whom you sent an email.

Why are so many people failing with their internet businesses and their websites?

There are several reasons for this and all of them are simple marketing methods every online business person should be doing.

The way sites are being designed is one very big reason that online businesses are failing.  Newbies and amateur copywriters don’t get very good conversions with the traffic that is hitting their sites.These site owners are attempting to elicit direct sales from product recommendations, banners displayed, and reviews.

First of all, banner-blindness is very prevalent nowadays so these banners are taking up valuable space on your website that could be better used.

Secondly, by changing the ads on your sites every so often you can fight this banner blindness. You can also test to see what is getting more clicks or converting better.

Another reason for a lot of failed websites is the lack of a name capture mechanism used for list building purposes.If your sites are getting traffic but people are banner blind, don’t you think that you should be building your list? instead you are just hoping to make sales from the same old banner?

You can and will make money from your website traffic if you use it to build you list and make sales at the same time.  You can do both, but your highest converting offers won’t come from first-time visitors who come to your site and see some banners.

Your highest converting traffic will come from the emails you send to the subscriber list you built.  Those people on your list who take your product recommendations and emails seriously will trust you and they’re more likely to buy what you recommend than the firstt-time visitor who doesn’t trust you (yet).

I have seen this time and time again when some people on marketing forums tell me that their product isn’t selling for them and many of them had yet to make one sale on it.

I would review their web pages and they weren’t all that good, then I’d ask them how they were promoting their product. The answer, nearly always, was through traffic exchanges and forum links.

So what I tell these people to do is create a very simple squeeze page an newsletter with 7-8 emails in them emphasizing the value of getting their product, and the sales always start coming in once they divert their attention from making direct sales to just building their list.

If you’re not building a list, that is one of the biggest internet marketing mistakes you could be making and I suggest that you change your focus a little to see how powerful this change in attitude will be for you.

When you see how well this works, you should work to automate you list building so that you can have your very own automated profit system.
