“Why Today Is The Greatest Day EVER In The History of the Internet To Be An Online Marketer”

There has never been a better time in the history of the Internet to be an online marketer.
That may sound crazy. Perhaps insane.
We have issues with spam filters, no doubt.
There?s more competition than ever before.
Google doesn?t particularly like online marketers.
So why in the WORLD would I say that today is the best day? Didn?t the people who got in early have the greatest opportunity?
While there is more competition than ever, I have been around since day one. And today is THE day – the greatest day ever to be an online marketer.
Before I explain why, let me give you the back story, so you can appreciate why I have the right to talk about this.
I got interested in a technology called “direct response marketing” back in 1978. The idea was that you could run ads, sell products and make money. I read what some people would call a “get-rich-quick” ad. But I got fascinated by it. And even more fascinated when I got the product.
When AOL, Compuserver, Prodigy and Genii (I don?t remember the spelling) came along, I was right there, mucking around, running ads, sending out printed sales letters and emails trying to make a buck.
When the World Wide Web exploded onto the scene, blowing away the “text-based Internet,” I was right there.
Back when most modern-day teachers of Internet marketing weren?t doing anything, I was selling $30,000 per month – and more.
I spoke at some of the first seminars about Internet marketing in Boulder, Colorado with Jonathan Mizel and Declan Dunn.
At one time, I was probably ranked as high as top 3 in the most well-known Internet marketers in the world. Take everyone who surfs the Internet with an English browser in the world and 1 out of 102 have been to one of my web sites according to 24 hour “cookies” (things that track web visits).
The point of all this isn?t to toot my horn.
It?s just to say that I?ve been around the block and helped invent some of the block, as a matter of fact. Some of the methods that are considered common knowledge and practice I created.
Anyway, TODAY is the best time to be an Internet marketer. Not 1996. Not 2001. Not 2005.
There is more opportunity today than ever before.
And I?ve read articles from some people who would say that the Internet marketing party is over. They have their own agendas and viewpoints to “sell .” Their own hidden reasons for saying such things.
I?m here to tell you that I?ve been IN this business since BEFORE day one. I?ve sold millions of dollars online. Spoken around the world at over 120 seminars.
And today is the greatest day to be an online marketer.
Here is why:

Reason One: Truly outstanding step-by-step instructions are available cheap
For all the moaning, complaining, griping, and dare I say “bitching” about online products, the quality is truly stunning and astounding at a price that is almost ridiculous.
That?s right.
The people who complain, grip and moan about “poor quality products” and onine rip-offs, honestly, they don?t have a clue. If that?s you, I apologize for being so direct. But I CAN back up what I say.
We live in a time when it?s popular to blame the other person for your own performance or lack thereof. It?s easier to say, “These products suck” than it is to say, “Actually, I only read 10 out of the 79 pages, and I read those out of one eye while surfing, and I haven?t gotten beyond step 1 of the action plan.”
It?s easier to say the product sucked.
I spend as much $35,000 every year buying online info products and books. First of all, the quality of online ebooks blows away the quality of books at the bookstore in terms of the information, the practicality of it, the usefulness.
There IS no comparison at all.
Yeah, online ebooks don?t have good proofreading for the most part. Who cares? It?s totally and completely irrelevant to whether or not the information works.
I?d rather have typos and misspellings and steps that flat out WORK than perfectly proofread stuff like you get in books at the bookstore that contain 250 pages of NOTHING. Pure fluff designed to generate consulting business, which is the purpose of most business books at your local bookstore.
Just this past week, I bought a 79 (or so)-page ebook with a system for getting search engine rankings that is drop dead awesome.
It cost me 9 bucks!
It had screen caps. Extreme documentation.

Freaking brilliant. He?s selling the whole system for 9 bucks. It?s 80 pages or something like that with AWESOME screen caps.
Not only THAT but the guy who wrote it has used the steps in to rank THREE HUNDRED web sites.
Now, you can buy 20 books at the bookstore on SEO an not get ANYTHING a fraction as useful.
The products today are step-by-step, often have screen caps and sometimes video. Some even have mindmaps. You can?t beat it!
Which brings me to step TWO. Reason Two: You literally don’t have to do JACK to make sales online, in SPITE of what I’ve written before about the my of the autopilot Internet business.
There is no true auto-pilot business. You always have buy, research and learn because things change. However, the actual GRUNT WORK of doing the stuff can be outsourced.
Let me explain.
I JUST told you how I bought the most incredible ebook with an seo system in it tested and proven over 300 times to get top rankings. And it only cost me 9 bucks. Don?t bother to ask our support what the product is. I?ll post it in the Ateam membership area. If you aren?t an Ateamer, you?re SO missing out.
Anyway, my point is, I?m hiring someone to DO THIS PDF for me.
Here are the details about this person:
1. They LOVE doing seo
They think it?s the greatest thing since sliced break.
2. They have over a year experience doing backlinking, doing blogs, link wheels, bookmarking , web 2.0 – ALL the SEO stuff. All of it.
3. They have a very fast Internet connection and a good computer.
4. I sent them the PDF of this system and they can?t WAIT to do it.
Now, how MUCH will this person COST me to work this system FULL TIME for one month?
$250-$300, not per week but per MONTH.
He?s asking $250 but really needs $300/month. He lives with his mum. But if I give him $300 to $350 he can get his own place. So I?ll START him at $250 THIS Monday. And after he is trained, bump him UP to $300 (which is about $75 per week).
Now, understand THIS — the average person in his country makes $50 a month so $300 is good. If you pay $500-$600 that is a VERY esteemed job.
I didn?t offer him $250-$300. That?s what he said he WANTED. And that?s what I?ll pay. I?ll also occasionally pay him a bonus.
Now, there was another guy who wants $450 a month. But he offered to work 1 week for free just to PROVE to me he could get keywords to rank REALLY fast.
What?s the RISK?
I?ve written another report about the risks of online marketing, and why 100% true auto-pilot income doesn?t exist. Let?s look at a few of the risks and how to offset them.
1. The guy may not work hard
I doubt this because I could tell he really does love seo. But if he doesn?t work hard, I let him go and hire someone else. I ain?t gotta worry about him suing me for wrongful termination. I don?t have to go back and forth with the Employment Commission about why I let him go. I give him a week or two of pay and say “happy trails.”
2. The seo system may not work
It has been used 300 times. So I doubt it. But it can always be tweaked.
3. Google could change the rules
The rules always change. You DO have to learn and stay up on the latest stuff. You adapt or die.
Period.
If Google changes, you got no choice. Change too.
Here?s an example of one guy I?ve talked to who also loves seo. I may hire him:
I think the exchange rate is 41 php in 1 U. S. dollar now so he?s about $317 USD. In Ateam, I am posting a report today on where I found him and how to
find hundreds of others like him. Notice he has 2 ½ years of experience and has a very nice skillset. Very nice guy. I?ve exchanged a number of emails. He?s someone I would hire.
4. People could stop using Google, stop using Facebook and stop using the Internet.
True enough. I doubt it. But if it happens, you better be doing some sms text and mobile marketing part time so you have a plan B!
Always have a plan B.
5. Your Gov?t could make it illegal to hire people overseas or tax the bejeebees out of it.
This could very well happen and wouldn?t surprise me. What I CAN say about it is that at least you?ve got a system down pat and a learning curve price paid. And if push comes to shove, I guess you set up an overseas company, have it make the money and then you charge that company a consulting fee. But don?t quote me on that one. I?m not an attorney. Just a thought.
Unless and until this happens, TODAY is the greatest day in the history of Internet marketing to be an online marketer.
Why? Reason Three: The reason today is the greatest day is because you can step-by-step instructions cheap, farm out the “doing” of the activities – and NET 2X, 3 X, 5X or 10X the cost.
Look at it this way:
According to a survey I saw on the Warrior Forum, the average Warrior who was ACTUALLY doing stuff online was making $500 to $1,000 per month.
Think about this:
How To Turn The “Average Income” of $500 to $1,000/Month Into $5,000 or even $10,000/Month
This isn?t rocket science.
If you have a system making $500 a month and you do that system 10 times, you now have $5000 per month MINUS the cost of the 10 people.
10 people x $300/month = $3,000, maybe $3500
That MEANS you now net $2000, maybe $1500.
If you do it 20 times, you have $3000 or $4000.
Now, what if you have a system making $1,000 per month.
Do it 10x and you have $10,000.
“But Marlon, what I need writing or video?”
So I found a drop dead video guy who can use Adobe After Effects, Camtasia, Sony Vegas and other stuff. He has off the charts talent and speaks perfect English. He is $450 a month.
You can find lots of writers with a little effort. Reason Four: Today is the first time in the history of the world it’s super duper easy to outsource projects faster than you can type, “Chinese Translator Needed.” (I’m just thinking about a plan B.)
You just go to the web site.
Send off emails and get FLOODED with people wanting jobs.
I did this just last week.
It annoys me that I can?t hire all the great talent I found. There are pages and pages of people with seo training, online marketing training, php, writing ability and so forth looking for jobs.
And you can LITERALLY get responses and hire someone in 1-8 hours. I started getting responses within 15 minutes of sending out the inquiries to the people running ads.
In my Ateam, I?ll put up training on this. And show exactly what I did.
But Marlon, I Don’t HAVE $250 a Month To Hire Someone Guess what? You ONLY Need $50-$100
If you don?t have $50-$80 a month, you need to find a few affiliate products, put up an opt in box on your Facebook Fan Page, Tumblr account or your blog and post 3x per day to 5 forums.
In fact, get this:
I just found an ebook by a girl doing $100 a day ONLY by doing blog commenting in one hour a day an no spamming. You think you couldn?t SELF FUND someone?s salary by having them do THAT method 4 hours a day?
Here?s what happened to her traffic:
You can hire someone 4 hours a day for $80 to $100 a month if you search hard. They ARE out there. Or you log in the hour a day yourself and spend the money to hire someone.
I?ve written before about STOP OVERCOMPLICATING.
Listen, if someone can MAKE YOU $500 a month and you PAY them $250 a month, you net $250. Do that 10x and you have $2500 a month.
I found another guy who is making $850 a month by writing article reviews on Clickbank products then clicking a button on a software
program before he goes to be that gets 10,000 backlinks to the article review OVERNIGHT while he?s sleeping!
I know he?s making this because he sent me a screen cap from his CB account. It?s a very clever method I?d never heard of before. He spends 10-15 minutes to write the review and clicks a button at night before he goes to bed.
If he really “got it” he?d hire a writer to do the reviews for $300 a month and also have them click the button every night. He?s only doing 1 article a day if that since he?s a college student.
An outsourcer could do 10-20 articles a day. If he 10X „d his income, he?d have $8,500 per month. If he 20X?d he?d PAY FOR HIS COLLEGE in one year!
I?m gonna go ahead and stick the link to his little report he sells on that method in Ateam also. It?s a whopping 10 bucks or something like that. So it?s a proven $850 a month method that is 100% outsourceable. And it?s 10 bucks.
And you wonder why I say today is the best time EVER to do IM?
I could easily get someone to do that method for $300 a month in less than ONE DAY!
Now get thine I plan on outsourcing that is a proven method for getting affiliates. Or how about this one, a person has $1,000 a DAY coming in because every day for 2 years, they wrote a product review on one Clickbank product, but unlike the other person I quoted they didn?t even drive any backlinks!
He has 7 articles each on 500 products for a total of 3,500 articles. And that generates a PASSIVE $1,000a day. Yeah, I KNOW about Google Farmer and Google Panda. But on my last Ateam called I PROVED that my traffic from articles STILL WENT UP Post Farmer, POST PANDA! What you?ve been reading are a bunch of comments from people who have a vested interest in you believing article marketing doesn?t work anymore.
What would happen if you outsource THAT method?
And the list goes on and on. There are tons of methods out there that bring in a potential $500 to $,100 a month or more. And if you can bring in $500 a month or $1,000 a month and you PAY $250 a month or $300 a month, you?re in the chips.
And if the method ALSO builds your list, you?re WAY ahead of the Game.
If you are an Ateam member, check it today. I?m posting a report there shortly based upon today?s issue. If you aren?t or you cancelled, what are you THINKING?
ONE idea that generates you $200 a month pays for it. How do you NOT break even on that? Seriously? Today I?m posting the blog commenting ebook link, the seo ebook link, the overnight links/product review link.
Now, you DO have to buy those reports separately, but I think they sell for $8-$12 each on Warrior Forum.
I hope you understand now why TODAY is the best time in the history of the Internet to be an online marketer.
Today you can inexpensively buy methods that are tested and proven.
Today you can outsource by sending a few emails.
Today you can have people implement stuff for you – dirt cheap. And the people are GRATEFUL for the job.
You can ramp up and scale up WITHOUT an office, WITHOUT a ton of overhead, WITHOUT paying $1500 a month lease, WITHOUT paying $350 a month cable/Internet bill for a “business connection,” WITHOUT paying $250 a month for utilities for an office.
Without ANY of that.
And for that SAME $1500 a month you?d pay for an office lease, you can have 5 people working full time. For that same $350 a month business cable Internet/phone bill you can have someone working for you full time.
You can START by hiring someone part time for $50-$80 a month!
There IS no reason you can?t do this.
You don?t have to hire full time. There are plenty of part time workers available.
NOTE: I am almost done with the Ateam SPECIAL VERSION of this issue where I?ve gone through it and pasted in each resource with instructions and screen caps…WHERE to find these outsourcers, how to contact them, tips, links to the products I mentioned.
EVERYTHING.
It?ll be in Ateam today!
