If you make money on the internet with your own home based business or if you have been trying to make money online, then it is important to understand your marketing funnel.  It is essential that you understand your methods of finding interested prospects and converting them into paying customers.

What is the process that you take them through?

Do you drive prospects to a sales letter or blog?  Do you give content away for free or sell them?  Do you try to get their email address or build trust?

Everybody does it a little bit differently.  You need to find out what works for you and stick with it long enough to determine it’s effectiveness.

One of the challenges that I see with newbies is that they don’t commit to a specific plan of attack.  They change their mind every two days on the best way to market their product or service.  Their marketing plan or funnel is changed on a whim because they watched another free video from a marketer trying to sell the next latest and greatest system.

News flash…

You might actually be selling stuff if you stop changing your gameplan every time you watch a new video.  Pick something and try it.

Try it long enough to determine it’s effectiveness in your marketplace before changing your entire strategy because you watched some new free video of an internet marketer trying to sell you something.

Internet marketing is simple.  YES… simple!  Stop letting people confuse you… and stop over complicating it!

It is simple, but it may not be easy.  It is simple because making money online boils down to a few things.  If you get good at doing a few things right, then you can become very successful.

It isn’t easy because it takes effort, determination, and a willingness to keep going… even when times are tough.

If you want to make money, then follow these 3 steps:

1.  Determine your goals.

2.  Pick a marketing strategy / business model that makes sense to you.

3.  Implement it.

Do NOT alter your plan just because you learn something new today, unless it specifically fits into your business model.

This doesn’t mean to continue using ineffective strategies.  This means do something long enough to determine if it is effective or not.  Stop changing on a whim!

Making money online is more like an art form than an exact science.  Everyone does it a little bit differently.

Follow what makes the most sense to you and give it try.
