The 21 Steps to Internet Marketing Success

The way to build a successful Internet marketing business is no secret. The steps are proven and tested. And here they are - yours for the taking!

Dear Internet Millionaire (or Soon to Be Millionaire):

It's ironic.

Thousands of aspiring Internet entrepreneurs want to make money online, but can't figure out how.

Yet the way to build a successful Internet marketing business is no secret.

The steps are proven and tested.

So why aren't more students of Internet marketing becoming successful Internet marketers?

It's because they are drowning in information.

They spend thousands of dollars buying every get-rich-quick Internet marketing course on the market.

They (and maybe you?) follow the gurus ... read the ebooks ... faithfully sign up for every tele-seminar ... listen to the audios ... watch the DVDs ... and attend the expensive boot camps.

Eventually, it adds up to spending a small fortune and a huge amount of time.

Yet they have not become rich on the Internet.

Why not?

Because "information" alone isn't enough to turn your dream of being a successful Internet marketer into reality.

I should know.

A few years ago, I was like you: wanting to get into Internet marketing, but unsure of how to go about it.

I went to the boot camps ... read the ebooks ... watched the DVDs ... and talked to more gurus than I can count - just like you did.

Yet I still couldn't figure out the first step. So I never got off the starting block.

Eventually, even though I didn't really know what I was doing, I just plunged in and moved forward.

Fortunately for me, even though I didn't "get" the Internet yet, I had 30 years of experience in copywriting and direct marketing.

So I blithely moved forward - the one-eyed man in the kingdom of the blind.

I made mistakes at first. A lot of mistakes. Some stupid. Others costly.

But through this trial-and-error approach, I slowly began to figure out what I should do first ... then second ... then third.

Once I did that, everything clicked into place for me.

I started out with just a few online subscribers, no products, one website, and zero sales.

Today, things are quite different.

I have a list of over 60,000 subscribers ... more than 50 different information products ... and five dozen websites.

"Working" only an hour a day on my Internet marketing business, I generate average sales of about a thousand dollars a day - 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The bottom line is that I have passive income of several hundred thousands of dollars a year (here's our sales report from just one week):

It took me years of trial and error (I'm still learning and refining my system) ... and many thousands of dollars invested in testing ideas, products, and marketing methods.

But I don't want you to have to go through the agony, false starts, delay, and uncertainty I did.

I wasted years not starting because I didn't have a step by step plan for launching my own online business.

To enable you to learn from my expensive experience, my co-author Kim Stacey and I sat down, and mapped out a manual that would reveal everything you need to know about my proven 21-step system for starting and running a successful Internet marketing business.

And now I want to share my system with you, if you will let me....

Internet wealth is only 21 steps away!

In our 186-page ebook, 21 Steps to Internet Marketing Success, we give you my entire system for building your own Internet marketing business.

You learn the 21 steps ... the order in which you must do them ... and you get clear instructions for carrying out each.

I warn you up front: I'm not a pioneer in Internet marketing. I got into it late in the game.

I don't claim to be the Internet marketer who makes the most money online - not even close.

I'm not an innovator or inventor of software or new tools or new methods.

My one minor talent is my ability to take a mass of knowledge - in this case, knowledge about Internet marketing - and break it down into a clear, step-by-step, easy-to-replicate system that anyone can understand and follow.

In 21 Steps to Internet Marketing Success, you get my proven formula for starting a successful Internet business. And it won't cost $10,000 ... or $500 ... or even $100 to get my system!

That's because 21 Steps to Internet Marketing Success has a list price of $59 - and that's what we'll sell it for later in the year.
