How Harvey helped me make my very first dollar online...

YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A LOT OF DIRT TO GET TO A DIAMOND

I just received an email from my friend Harvey Segal. Just so you know, Harvey helped me make my very first dollar online (actually he helped me make my very first $39 online).  So when Harvey talks, whether it’s good news or bad, I usually pay attention to what he has to say.  Here's a portion of his email;

Hi Folks,

The good news is that promoting the Ultimate Super Tip is well worth the effort. We have 11 affiliates with 50+ sales.  Our top affiliate is way, way ahead of all the others with an astonishing 918 sales.  And the bad news?  Well the bad news is just for me. I don't get any of the proceeds of those sales.  It is you - my affiliates - who get the full 100%.  When you consider that the sale prices are $10 and $37 with the majority going for $37 you have an idea of what a good affiliate can earn.  You can be one of them.  Don't just stick your affiliate link on a traffic site that will get you nowhere.

Harvey’s email included a link to a promotion guide that contains a boat load of ideas to help me join the ranks of the top Ultimate Super Tip affiliates. I've downloaded it and will give it my due diligence and I'll be back to let you know what I think.

OK, I'm back and boy was I blown away!  I'm just starting to truly realize how powerful and necessary MARKETING is.  I'm also beginning to truly understand why so many people fail to make any money online.  They give up too soon!

“Most people give up just when they’re about to achieve success.  They quit on the one yard line.” ~ Ross Perot

Once you understand this popular English proverb you will begin to make money online:

IF YOU THROW ENOUGH MUD AT THE WALL, SOME OF IT WILL STICK

You see, most people get tired of throwing mud at the wall and they quit.  Or, they get tired of moving piles of dirt and they quit.  They get tired of chasing their family and friends and they get tired of spending money on training and tools that do nothing but make the gurus rich.  But what if you had a powerful machine that could launch tons of mud at the wall for you?  What if you had a powerful machine that could sift through tons of dirt for you?  What if you could get people to chase YOU instead and what if you had access to free training, tools, and support that the gurus charge thousands for?

That’s exactly what MARKETING is; a powerful machine that can reach millions of people on the internet.  A powerful machine that will do most of the work, all of the time, and never quit!

What Harvey offers in his Ultimate Super Tip ebook (which by the way is free to download—he doesn’t even ask for your email) has been hailed as the “Greatest Marketing Idea of All Time!” by a number of internet marketing gurus.  I actually wrote a review on this ebook a while back.

If you read the review you could tell that I was very impressed with Harvey’s book and all the free bonuses that came with it.  And like I said I made a little money promoting the book but you know what happened?  I got tired of promoting it.  I got tried of sifting through the dirt looking for my diamonds.  I didn’t have a powerful machine to help me sift through the dirt.  Well, actually I did; I had a Twitter account and that allowed me to get my message out to a lot of people but I didn’t want to alienate my followers with “spam”.  That is exactly how the majority of marketing messages on the social sites are perceived.  Same with Facebook and the other social sites, no one wants to be marketed to on those platforms.

And then it occurred to me, I still had a powerful machine that I wasn’t using to its fullest potential; my blog!  I discovered that I could write about the Ultimate Super Tip on my blog and if done properly I could get a ton of free traffic and I could generate a list of followers and I could convert these followers into customers.

This is how it’s done. This is how people make money on line. This is MARKETING!

If you haven’t figured it out yet, most of the links in this article will take you to my affiliate webpage where you can download Harvey’s book for free.  Remember he won’t even ask for your name or your email.  Here’s the link once more for your convenience:
