Can You Learn Internet Marketing?
Posted by: | CommentsSo many people say they want to learn internet marketing. They “dream” of it. They “hope” for it. They imagine huge wads of money arriving at their doorstep each and every day!
Everywhere you look you will see proof that millions of people everywhere are dreaming the same dream. That proof appears in the form of all kinds of ads popping at you everywhere you look. These ads are promising hope and possibility. They’re telling you that you can make a fortune by using their system, selling their products, or creating instant money making websites.
Whatever the offer is, they eventually convince hundreds of people to buy it. I know many of you reading this now have bought products that promised you the world. I receive emails about them almost every day.
What happens after you buy something like that?
30 days later, you’re still staring at your computer screen thinking…” I need to find an answer, because this last product didn’t work like I wanted, I’m sure I can find something easier…” Unfortunately, this cycle repeats itself over and over for many people. These people often feel “ripped off” or that internet marketing is a scam and no one really makes any money.
They may start to wonder…”Will I ever learn Internet Marketing? Will I ever make any money online?” Here is the truth, “The way you’re going, you’ll never make a dime…” I know it’s harsh, but I believe it’s true. If you are looking to a Guru or a Miracle Product to help you learn internet marketing, you are on the wrong track.
If you are struggling to learn internet marketing or to make any amount of money online, there are usually key reasons:
1. LACK OF FOCUS: you have no direction and you are trying to make everything work all at once. (This has been a big problem for me!!) Everybody needs a mentor who can show you what to do and what not to do, so find yourself a good internet marketing mentor! And once you find someone who is successful and willing to share information with you, hang onto them! An experienced mentor willing to give their time to you, is a very rare thing and should be treasured.
2. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: If you don’t know what you are doing, you won’t make money for long (if at all). It pays to know the technical side of internet marketing. Either learn it all on your own, or check out one of the high quality training sites around. I recommend AffiliIT as I believe their training to be fantastic for beginners to advanced. It’s a great place to learn internet marketing. Really, there is no excuse!
3. LAZINESS: This one kills people the most! There are many variables as to why a person is lazy. Sometimes they’re used to a 9-5 type office job where they start and finish at a set time. Often times these people prefer to slouch on the couch in their spare time. Lazy people have a hard time at the startup phase of an internet marketing business because it takes a lot of focus, effort, and time to build a successful online business.
4. LACK OF MOTIVATION: If you don’t have a deep need to do someting, you probably won’t do it. If you are happy and comfortable with the way things are, you want better things but you don’t need them. In my experience, you need a deep down burning desire to accomplish something and learn internet marketing. If you don’t have that internal drive, need, or fire, get it, find it and search for it.
Many of you have racked up a lot of debt and pain trying to learn internet marketing and I am confident with a few changes you can start on a new path. Perhaps you can take a good look at your situation and decide what the issue really is. What is holding you back from success? Why every course you buy just sits on the shelf? What can you do differently today to make a change in your life?
If you have been struggling for a long time, perhaps this is the year for you to FOCUS, LEARN, and TAKE ACTION?? I hope this is your year! Good luck to you!!

EWA Network Review
Posted by: | Comments“Affiliate networks are NOT created equal.”
I made that statement on Twitter a few weeks ago. Experienced affiliates will know what I am talking about. There are tons of affiliate networks out there trying their hardest to get affiliates to run traffic with them. When you start doing big numbers, you get more and more attention.
It is very important to know which networks you can trust and which you cannot. I write this post from the heart. This is NOT a paid review. I want you to know that I have worked with many affiliate networks and have had troubles with most of them.
When I say “trouble”, I mean the common troubles that most affiliates have with networks. Such as: they didn’t pay me on time, (two well known networks still haven’t paid me months later), some don’t answer my emails, others promise things and never deliver, some are all hype and no substance, etc. I’ve even had one very prominent network stalk me via one of my affiliate sites! Eek! They’re not ALL bad, of course. But it can be tough to know which are good and which are not.
In this post I am going to share my own personal experiences with the one network that has helped me the most this year – EWA.
EWA Network Review by PPCMom
EWA Network is run by Ryan Eagle and Harrison Gervitz. Both of these guys are successful affiliates themselves. They understand the offers, the market, and the business better than anyone I know.
It’s one thing to understand the market or to be a successful affiliate. But it’s an entirely different thing to be able to explain it to others. And that is exactly what sets EWA apart from the rest.
“What offers should I run?”
The weekly “epic” training emails are amazing! Each week we receive detailed instructions, guidelines, and recommendations on what offers to promote, where to promote them, and specifically HOW to promote them to be successful. They have covered Dating, Facebook, Plenty of Fish, Games/Downloads, Grants & Biz Opps, and so much more! Seriously, these guides are awesome!
“When do I get paid?”
Another big drama in affiliate marketing is “payment terms”. Most networks will pay you Net 60, Net 30, or Net 15 unless you are doing high volumes. How is a new affiliate meant to turn out high volumes when they have to pay Facebook every single day? Then you wait 45 days to get paid from the network?? It just doesn’t work.
EWA supports you with weekly payouts regardless of volume. Imagine what that can do to your bottom line. It’s powerful.
As an affiliate, what do you want?
- You want to get paid on time.
- You want advice and support.
- You want competitive payouts on the best converting offers.
EWA have all three areas covered completely.
1) I have been paid on time, every time.
2) The “epic” training guides are priceless!
3) I’ve always gotten the highest payouts from EWA.
I want to thank Ryan, Harrison, Tom & the team at EWA Network for what they’ve done for me personally and professionally.
They have been instrumental in my success and the success of so many others. Thank you, for believing in me back in the day, for opening up opportunities for new affiliates, and for being real, being helpful, and supportive of my business throughout 2009.
