Making money on the web is not a rocket science, however many people seem to miss the boat when it comes to Internet marketing. What is the missing element, why hundreds of online marketers enjoy the Internet lifestyle while other can't earn $1000 a month?

If you take the time to understand the three powerful points you are going to discover, you will be well on your way to earn a steady income on the Internet.

Follow this proven formula to strike it rich on the web, and become a GURU in your niche.

1) Business Mindset

Many people fail online because they take Internet or Affiliate marketing like a hobby. It's a big mistake! If they knew that they were in fact in business, like in the offline world, their life would be better.

If all what you did before was working for your boss and you never run a business, it will be a little bit difficult when you start, but you need to think like a businessman.

You may want to educate yourself first. It's your best option. You will need to get a business plan and a clear vision of your objectives.

2) Understand Your Market

To make it in any market, online or offline, you need to understand your targeted market, or if you prefer, niche market.

  • Who are they?
  • Where do they meet?
  • What are their problems?
  • How they talk about these problems?
  • Where they buy? Why they buy?
  • How old are they?
  • Why they don't buy?
  • What is their monthly income?

You need to answer to all these questions before you start thinking about creating your own product.

You also want to know the niche's demographics, because this will help you to market your products (or affiliate products) to them.
Imagine that you market to young men while people who spend money in your market are mainly women above 40 years. No wonder why people don't succeed...

3) A Quality Product

It's obvious, however many people beginners think that they can come with a low quality product and make hundreds of dollars instantly.

Those are the same people who will not invest $10 dollars in their business. Is it their fault? No, it's simply that they don't have a clue about business and marketing. These are people who want to make money online.

4) Website Easy To Navigate

Whether your site is a blog, a content site or a 2 pages sales letter, it must be easy to understand, and have a clear message.

You need to master copywriting, because whenever you are writing an article on your content site, or a sales message, what you really need is the following:

You want your reader to perform a given action (buy your product, subscribe to your newsletter, or just demonstrate your level of expertise for niche domination, etc...).

5) Constant Stream Of Higlhy Targeted Traffic

This is where the real income is coming from, so be sure to over deliver in this point.
