The Absolute Best Way to Earn Money Online

When I started back in 2006, I was trying to find the best way to earn money online.

I was looking for quick-fixes, magic bullets and shortcuts. I fell for the get-rich quick schemes and everything else internet marketers had to offer.

It was my learning phase. I had to go through it to discover what truly worked and what didn’t.

The truth of the matter is that there is no magic bullet. There is no tactic that will skyrocket you to stardom and put thousands of dollars into your bank account.

However, there is a best way to earn money online, and in this article we’ll take a look at what that is. This is something I’ve learned from personal experience.

I’ve spent years falling flat on my face.

I’ve wasted thousands on bad training programs and coaching.

I know what doesn’t work.

But I also know what does, at least for me.

The problem today is selfishness.

Most people think about how they can make money, which is fair and makes sense. But that’s not going to bring you success.

Not true success.

I’m talking about success that fulfills you.

Anyone can make money, but what good is money without peace of mind and satisfaction? Because isn’t that what we’re all after?

It’s not the money we want, but the things money can buy. We want the freedom that money can offer, and you can get that, if you stop focusing just on yourself.

So what’s the solution?

The solution is to find a problem you can solve.

This is what I help my clients discover first, because when you focus on solving one problem, you almost automatically stand out from the crowd.

People know what you can help them with, which means that if they aren’t interested, they can tell their friends about you. You’ve positioned yourself in their mind.

And this is what it all comes down to.

If you want to build a sustainable online business, you have to solve a problem. Yes, you can expand your territory later, but if you’re just getting started, pick one problem.

Don’t just go for a blog on personal development, dive into one problem.

Need Examples?

Here are a few examples of problems in the personal development niche:

ProcrastinationFearStressInsomniaWorryingLife Purpose (Problem: not knowing what it is)DepressionAnxiety

I could go on and on.

If you focus on becoming the expert on one problem, good things will happen. You can build a whole empire around solving that problem.

And if you have multiple passions and interests, you can sometimes blend them together.

That’s exactly what I’ve done. I help people build a lifestyle business, so I blend together my skills in online business and personal development, because there’s more to business than just business.

Then you go out and get them.

If you want to become the expert on fear, start learning how to conquer fear.

Go out and overcome your own fears. You probably already have stories to share. But the easiest way to decide which problem to focus on is to look at your life.

What kind of life experiences have you already had?

What kind of skills have you had to develop naturally?

What fascinates you?

There are no obstacles. No excuses. Only choices.

Choose what you want to do, and then take action. Focus on solving one problem, because that is truly the best way to earn money online.

All the tactics and strategies come after that.

Follow These Steps To Make It Easy For Your Prospects To Find You Online

The 3 steps outlined below are designed to relate to your audience first, then review a problem, or present your take on something, and last to recommend something – where you position your offer as the solution.

This is framed around the Internet, and use a video of Ann on YouTube (Relating to audience) as the example. Then I show you her (Review) content landing page that both solves a problem and presents Ann’s take on something that her audience has an interest in. For the (Recommendation) you’ll see her example for making a call to action to the Renegade Network Marketer sales page.

In a nutshell, what I’m teaching you here is how to use the Internet to make transactions.

This phrase best sums up what I’m advocating and teaching you to do:

If you’re going to use the Internet to make sales of any kind here are the 3 “web steps” to take action on:

Start with one of the biggest questions your perfect customer always has. Turn that question into a video.

We’ll be using Ann as an example..

She answered the question, “How do I be a solutions provider?” so Ann made a video about that. See it below.

Time to move one level up. Now you’re going to frame the bigger picture. In order to do that, you’ll create a post or a page at your WordPress blog that sums up your assessment of … not necessarily the question that you answered in your video, but… your top level approach to the question.

In Ann’s case, she believes that “Your business needs to be centered around you so that you have complete control over it, and in order for you to make as much money as possible, you need to develop your own business assets.”

Click the link below to see our example.

Your business needs to be centered around you so that you have complete control over it, and in order for you to make as much money as possible, you need to develop your own business assets.

Make a confident recommendation. This is your call to action. Consider the nudge you should give your audience because you know what’s good for them. After all, you do. If you know your target market, you should know what is good for them.

Get Started With The Renegade Network Marketer Today

Of course, the hyperlinked Get Started With The Renegade Network Marketer Today goes to our RNM sales video presentation. And that’s the gateway to making a front end sale. That front end sale means much more than just monetization, it signifies qualification. That person qualified themselves by investing their money into their education. And it’s those people that you want to work with.

1). Make a video that addresses and relates to your perfect customers number one question. In the description area of the video, link to a post or page at your blog.

2). The post or page at your blog will be your top level approach to that question. You’ll reveal a theme, rationale or a philosophy about why you stand for what you do.

3). You’ll conclude with a gentle nudge (aka call to action) leading people to your perfect solution. This should more than likely be a lead capture page, or a sales presentation, or something that they have to give something in order to get something. The reason for this is to qualify them as something you might to work with.

If you have questions or thoughts, ask them in the comments.

How to be Successful at Network Marketing Online

You are here: Home // Network Marketing // How to be Successful at Network Marketing Online

Many people assume network marketing is something that has to be done in person. Well, although there certainly are plenty of MLM opportunities that require you to get out there, network, build your personal army and make sales, there are also online opportunities available as well. Of course, this is ideal for someone who is not comfortable interacting with strangers in person on a daily basis. It is also perfect for someone wanting to get into network marketing on a part time basis while still working their regular job. So, how do you succeed?

Take Advantage of Leads

Sometimes, leads come from unusual places, and you might not recognize them for what they are. You have to be aware that leads will come in daily when your marketing systems are in place. To set this up, you will need at least a dozen or more high ranking lead-capture sites. These sites do nothing but collect leads for you, but you need to act on them.

Make Use of Social Networking Platforms

You really cannot understand how powerful social networking is until you have taken full advantage of it and experienced firsthand the opportunities they can award you. Make use of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and have the potential to reach millions of people.

Set Goals

When you physically set goals for yourself, you make yourself more accountable. Write down how many leads that you want to take on every day, and make every effort to stick to it. Don’t be afraid to set awards for yourself if you stick to the goals too! You want to set your goals high, yet obtainable. Some people are only comfortable with 20 leads a day, if they also work full time or have family obligations. Then, there are also those that take a stab at this full time and set their goal around the 200 mark.

There are a lot of options, strategies and opportunities available to you, when it comes to network marketing online and your home business. Quite often, the most challenging aspect of the entire process is making decisions and hoping you make the right ones. The great thing about working online is that even when you go to sleep, go for a run or are on vacation on a beach half way around the world, your sites are still working for you and making you money. That is something to get pretty excited about!

Gain Real Control Of Your Online Business

It’s time to GAIN CONTROL, differentiate and establish yourself and play the role of an expert to begin earning an income with your home business. The couple components I discuss in this blog post are what will allow you to truly begin earning an income with your home business.

Take a moment and think about who you most respect in our space.

What are they doing that is different?

Here it is…

They lead with THEMSELVES and play the part of an expert. They indeed, might be an expert, or maybe they’re somewhat knowledgeable, or maybe they’re not any more knowledgeable than you. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that they brand THEMSELVES as being a leader because they do what leaders are doing, and they do it with their own unique spin.

Then they make recommendations of products and/or opportunities where they can earn commissions.

Even if you are just starting out, you don’t need a product to successfully follow this methodology.

You simply play the role of a leader, brand yourself as such by taking the actions that leaders take, and make good recommendations and provide valuable content to your optin  subscribers.

The Internet will never be too crowded to follow this formula.

When you do this CORRECTLY…

You will be able to grow and nurture an ever expanding network who know and trust you and will be willing to buy what you recommend.

The very first step is to Take Control of your business.This is critical and simple to do.

This is probably the number one thing people are doing wrong when marketing their primary opportunity. Just look around on Facebook.

Something To NOT Do. Consider It A Rule:

Don’t market your replicated website or direct company link given to you by the company as what you lead with. There is a place for it in your marketing funnel, and I assure it’s not what comes first.

Why would anyone buy from you if all they see is that you have a website just like everyone else? Besides, most people aren’t looking for another opportunity. They already have one. They want help building it.

…If you don’t, you are limiting your income (and your skill set) to the amount of sales you can close in a single push. Start capturing your own leads and you can push offers and valuable content FOREVER.

Now imagine if you had a system in place that allowed you to generate hundreds of leads a day, you’d make money automatically and people would be chasing YOU down.

That’s what Ann describes how to do inside of The Renegade Network Marketer.

Sound like a fairy tale?

It is, yet it’s not once you learn how.

Just a few small tweaks to what you are prob’ly already doing and your income will soar.

It’s likely that you have already begun your journey towards setting this process up for yourself by getting educated with the RIGHT information. Congrats! That’s a powerful decision to make.

Let’s Review The Main Points Of This Post:

GAIN FULL CONTROL of your marketing process.Capture your own leads into your own leads list so you can contact these prospects any time you wish with any offer or information you desire!

We’ll be talking more about this in the next few blog posts here at The Renegade Blog so if you like this information, you can have it delivered directly to your inbox via RSS. Do that here.
