“I am an internet marketing newbie. All I am asking you to do for me is to introduce me to the internet marketing from scratch, that is leading me step by step to the internet marketing system. Presently, I have no website, no list and no business yet.” - Akinbiyi Yinka Akinrinola
Many internet marketing newbies have been asking me similar questions and I usually do not bother reply.
Why?
Because the question is too general. Also, I got a feeling that anyone asking such a question is usually not serious in internet marketing.
But today, for the first time (and also the last time), I’m going to answer this question and post it up on our blog, so that I can direct whoever asking such a question back to our blog.
For all the internet marketing newbies out there, there are only 4 steps to making money from internet marketing from scratch.
Step 1 - Make a decision
Step 1 is to make a firm decision that you are going to make it in internet marketing, no but, no however, no unless, no excuse!
If step 1 is not accomplished, there is no need to proceed to the other steps. Quit now and go back to your comfort zone. Internet marketing is not for you. Nothing is, until you make a decision.
Let me tell you something I’ve never told anyone.
I started to explore internet marketing back in 1999, made my first $100 some time in 2004, made my first $1000 in 2006 and made my first $10k in the same year.
What happened in 2006? Did I stumbled upon a secret formula? Not at all.
What happened was that my offline business failed in 2005. I was $50k in debt and I desperately NEED to find an alternative to make money, so as to pay back my loan and keep my company alive.
For the years before 2006, I had been exploring internet marketing, but I was doubtful whether internet marketing was for me. Moreover, I had many other opportunities available and frankly, internet marketing was the last option in my list.
By 2006, I’d tried 3 different offline businesses, failed at each one of them, and owed $50k to the bank. With little cash on hand, I ran out of all my offline options.
I was in a situation where I either make it in internet marketing or quit my entrepreneur dream and look for a job.
Not to give up my last option, I turned to internet marketing, with no other backup plan!
Here’s a little secret about the universe:
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Opportunities will be open to you. Ideas will come to you. Your saviour will appear.
So, before everything else, make your decision first.
Step 2 - Stop looking for shortcuts
Forget about shortcuts or quick cash. There is no shortcut. What does exist is leverage.
To make money fast, you need to leverage. You leverage on advertising to bring you more traffic in a shorter time. You leverage on freelancers to save your time and provide skills that will otherwise take you time to learn.
Other than leverage, there is no shortcut. You have to take the down-to-earth ‘boring’ steps of building websites, promoting them and doing all the maintenance work.
I’m not saying internet marketing is tough. It is tough initially because you’re still learning. Just like the first time you ride a bicycle. It was tough isn’t it? But once you get used to it, it’s as easy as ABC.
Step 3 - Decide on a business model
There are too many ways to make money online. You can make money from Adsense, PPC ads, Affiliate Marketing, Ebay, MLM etc.
So your 3rd crucial step is to decide on the business model that you want to adopt.
If you want to make money fast, one way is to become an instant guru!
I’ve seen many newbies who position themselves as a guru and start teaching people how to make money online. It works! Many of them who ‘dare’ to pretend to be a guru eventually becomes a real guru.
As a guru, you need to have your own website, your own product and your own affiliate program. That’s why I invested money to create the free M.Y.O.B List Builder Script for our members. Make this script work for you and you’ll become an instant guru overnight.
Read these two articles if you haven’t done so. They will shed some light for you.

Step 4 - Keep learning and keep working
Remember, there is no shortcut. You got to work hard and you got to learn fast while you work.
In offline businesses, you can hardly learn because very few people are willing to teach you.
The good thing about online business or internet marketing is that many people are willing to teach you, for free or for a very small fee. As long as you have your own business set up and are willing to learn the ropes, you will eventually grow and become another guru.
Lastly, after today, don’t ever call yourself an internet marketing newbie again. The faster you believe you are the guru, the faster you can succeed online.

Wow you are very bold to take on such a wide subject. I enjoyed your personal story. Everything you said in this post is truly the path to success. I have learned that it is very important to remove all doubt and believe with every thought that you are going to reach your goal. If you can do this you will succeed.
Thomas Northrop
It is very true Thomas Northrop that everything Kenneth said in this post is the real path to success. success doesn’t just come unless someone says that he/she really wants to succeed.
Every success is as a result of definitely directed thought and success begins the moment you look forward to it and decide that you really want it.
Anyone can make money on the internet instantly once he/she takes the courage to practice the above and all the other things are there to be learnt before someone can start making real income online.
Isn’t it something that it is necessary to inform some that to be successful involves some very basic steps? Know what you want. Make a plan. Work hard. Continue to learn. There are more guidelines, but those are probably at the top of the list.
I enjoy your e-mails and blog very much. They are helping me to ‘continue to learn’.

This is a very helpful post. I have friends and family who ask me this question constantly and now i have a resource to refer them to. Thanks Ken, you’ve made my job easier
I agree that you should stop looking for shortcuts.
To many newcomers get stuck running from one thing to another
and get caught in a rut or give up. I believe that it is a constant learning process that takes time to grow,unfortunately most will give up before they truly learn it.
This is an excellent advice. This post is definitely one of my favorites. Your personal experience makes it more interesting and motivational for others out there.
Thanks Kenneth, You said it perfectly, I have yet to see a get rich model overnite yet, if you believe there is one then you should be able to believe you can start your own business.
I was told a long time ago focus focus focus and stop jumping around.
Excellent article Kenneth! I have learnt a lot from it & agree with every word you said. When there is a will, there is a way
One more thing to add,
Never, Never, Never Give Up!

Kenneth you are so right. Most of my prolonged pain was not having or taking the time to think about a business model. jumping from one opportunity to another promoting one product after another with no real PLAN will not get anyone anywhere. Sure we can make a buck here and there but that is NIT a Business. A system is needed to be implemented and to stick with it. Results will show sooner or later. It is also important to learn and automate as much as possible to save time and ultimately money.
Cheers!

Oh.. also YOU Do NEED to have your own website and not just one. Do not be thinking on saving money but think how to multiply your business assets by building websites (money sites) either to sell PLR products, adsense or tatget profitable niches. But the real success is being “visible” meaning your SEO is done right because Google adwords is not a cash cow for many. So learn SEO from the best and start building your first site. Make sure you understand the importance of keyword and niche research BEFORE you buy your firs domain name and put up your site.
Lots to say but main important thing is KEYWORD Research. Period. I posted a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQCPZbnRdkA
I was once an internet newbie and i suggest you should have a niche. a niche is the blood and soul of your online business. Your niche must be something of your interest. When you love your niche, why can’t you be successful in your campaign?
With that said, this is absolutely a great article everyone should read. good job..
Excellent advice. Another thing, avoid information overload.
Hai Kenneth,what you said here is, absolutely fair process for internet marketing.Few months ago,even i was faced so many troubles and i was successfully managed all those, with the same process as explained above.thank you very much for sharing the information…
I just gained a whole lot more respect for you. Finally, a straight-forward, no-nonsense easy to understand answer to a very common question that too often receives an answer more geared toward putting $20 or $30 in some “guru’s” pocket, leaving a newbie wondering whether or not there are any honest and helpful people in Internet Marketing. Kudo’s to you, Kenneth.
Ken, you have done it again. Valuable information, to the point and easy to understand.
Once again you show us how little we know. I have been in internet marketing over 3 years now and I keep learning things from you. Thanks.
Ha, Ha, Ha! There it is, the missing link has finally been exposed…
“Fake-It-Until-You-Make-It”
I knew it!
Thanks for the Answer to the question Very interesting.

Waluyosh, I wrote an article a couple of days ago on Affiliate marketing and CPA Oferers. This may answer your questions.
The Arbitrage Conspiracy, CPA Offers and PPC advertising all for Money and about making Money…
Here is a bit of an inside story of how I found out about Click-Per-Action (CPA) Offers and PPC advertising (Search Engine Marketing)
Just over a year ago I purchased and got enrolled in the PPC Classroom created and produced by Jeremy Palmer and Anik Singal. These two Gentlemen and Marketers that I very much respect and to this day they kept their integrity and reputation.
The course was some $500 (a physical product, 3 ring binders with DVD and software) PLUS training on the web through a well managed and attended forum.
It was then that I was introduced to CPA Networks, CPA Offers, and Anik had some very good information in audio format on that. Since then I bounced back and forth but finally decided that the money is in the CPA Offers if one concentrates all efforts and gets away from the “Gurus” hype and just stick to one thing.
The notion of Arbitrage was talked around in the Internet marketing circles and in fact I purchased an e-Book on it but it was more of buying clicks cheap and then sends them to your Adsense pages and the difference is profit. It was not Arbitrage Conspiracy, not CPA and certainly not the amount of money Aymen and Emmanuel are making.
I do believe they perfected it to a science and make good use of certain tools and knowledge in order to get $50,000 to $100,000 a DAY, is definitely unheard of
I personally, do not think many “Gurus” make their money with CPA Offers. Most are into selling e-Books on how to make money online and nowadays hey extended that to audio and video.
In most cases they are disciplined enough to do the work to research public domain information and package it for consumption or outsource the entire product research and product creation. Then they make good use of their mailing list along with a whole bunch of other “Gurus” lists to create hype and sell. Does it work? Sure it does because there is an endless supply of Newbie’s and the psychologically written sales letters are precisely design to close the sell and part you and me from the cash….
So in most cases one wonders around for years, disoriented by the amount of information paid for but in most cases useless. I know I did…
I am glad I finally “saw the light” and went into CPA Offers and stuck to is and made/make money doing it on a full time basis. Nothing like the guys in the Arbitrage Conspiracy BUT Hey! There is always room to improve and perfect and with Aymen training I am sure to take my CPA business to a new level of income and fun.
Want to become a CPA Offers Conspirator? Perhaps it’s time to stick to one thing that actually makes money.
I am Amazed that Most People Do Not GET IT. But then again it took me many years of time wasting… I also use SEO with tools that most out there do not even know exist and finally happy.
I hope this helps.

A lot of gurus try to make it sound so easy and guess what? It’s not. The worst is information overload and trying to do to many projects at once and getting side tracked. Your blog has helped me out tremendously.

There are many ways to earn a decent income online. On the flip side, it seems like there is a lot of change now and then, so it does take a bit of reading to keep up on everything. Still, working from home is a nice treat.
New info for me as a Internet Marketing Newbie,Great tips. Thanks
suhaily
it is noticed that as traffic on highway is flowing very smoothly… Well, it’s not the same in every state, or even county, but unfortunately many police here in the USA have quotas.
Good article. It’s true that you have to know that you are going to make it from the start, no matter what. It sometimes get tough, but if you have the commitment and the mindset you’ll go thru it and learn what you need to learn to get to the other side.
Thanks again.
I will add (info from Yaro )
be patient
be persistent

This is great advice for all newbies. There is so many hyped up get-rich-quick schemes on the internet. If you really think about it, if it was that simple, most people would work from home and be millionaires. You must learn to earn. Just like going to college to learn a profession, internet marketing is no different. You must read, learn then earn. It is hard work and time consuming to be successful. Nothing is free in this world, especially Money!
that’s great idea-
thanks,
srie
This post hits right at the heart. When I first got started I was looking for shortcuts and expecting to make thousand out of the gate. I failed to realize that in order to establish long term success you need to treat IM like a real business. While overhead might be less, it still requires lots of attention and dedication especially when it comes time to outsourcing.
“MONEY” IS A MEANS OF EXCHANGE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE HANDS OF MANY PEOPLE ON A DAILY BASIS! I SEE THIS HAPPENING EVERY SINGLE DAY! NOW, IT IS NO LONGER ABOUT “HAVING” OR “MAKING” MORE MONEY. RATHER, IT IS ABOUT HOW FREQUENTLY MONEY IS BEING EXCHANGED THROUGH MY HANDS ON A DAILY BASIS FOR EITHER THE INFORMATION, THE PRODUCT OR THE SERVICE THAT I AM PROVIDING TO OTHERS! I PERSONALLY HAVE DEEP SEATED WRONG SUBCONSCIOUS BELIEFS ABOUT THIS THING CALLED “MONEY” AND AS A RESULT, RATHER THAN ME FOCUSING MY MENTAL ENERGIES ON “WATCHING” MONEY BEING EXCHANGED THROUGH THE HANDS OF MANY PEOPLE ON A DAILY BASIS, INSTEAD I STRESS MYSELF DAILY NON-STOP ABOUT “HAVING” OR “MAKING” MONEY!
Most people don’t stick at IM for long enough to see the results.You will probably have to wait x amount of months for it to start paying off.I know that most poeple say that the money is in the list, but I don’t really believe that it is very easy to build one
This is one of the best how to MMO articles I have read in a long time!
Wow, aren’t you glad you did all of the IM research before your offline businesses flopped?
“Lastly, after today, don’t ever call yourself an internet marketing newbie again. The faster you believe you are the guru, the faster you can succeed online”.
I couldn’t have said it better myself! So, so, so, true.
there is no short cut to get success in internet marketing, we neet lot of effort, pain, and work hard to get it. Something that I can’t do right now.. so I keep working offline as a worker in public company, but I still dreaming to be work at home as internet marketer someday..
I ‘m and Internet newbie too but before I get start Online Business I learned from an Online Bussiness expert. For me “The method of how to success in business is more important than Business Model.
