I want to clear something up for those of you who are stubborn enough to still be trying to break into Internet marketing (IM). I say stubborn but you could call it “motivated enough”. Everybody has a different level of motivation and a different level of ability.

For those of you with a low level of motivation I have to tell you you don’t have a very high chance of getting there. For those of you who have plenty of desire to succeed at IM i have to say this… you can LEARN what you need to know to make it. Desire + Learning = Success. Those guys that said it would be easy?…hunt them down.

You are setting out to be an Internet Marketer. That is Direct Sales by means of the internet! Why do I tell you this? I want you to know what you are really getting into. You are going to be selling! But it is going to be easy selling. v If you do the one thing I’m going to explain now.

Pick the right market. The internet arena is made up of thousands of markets. For our discussion here a market is any group of people who like to buy the same things.

Make Money Online. Acne cures. Dating solutions. Baldness fixes. Weight loss. These are markets. In these are sub-markets. Niches. Inside weight loss is “How to get rid of stomach fat” That’s a keyword phrase. Google calls it a “search query.” That means it is the words people type into Google Search to find Information.

The people that make up the Niche markets tend to want the same thing and use the same types of keyword phrases! That’s one of the main ways you reach them. By their very own keywords. That’s the valuable little lesson inside the VERY VALUABLE lesson.

Pick the right market for you! Get this one thing right and it’s all going to go well for you. Here’s one of the most common mistakes that kills marketers off all the time. They find a killer product and then they go looking for the market.

I want you to go find the MARKET FIRST! The market is who you are selling to. Get the WHO right and you are off to a great START. Get the WHO wrong and….well, fuggedaboutit. But, you aren’t going to do that, are you?

One more thing for you to think about. Some markets are easy and some are difficult. I know which one you want so I’m going to tell you how to find it! Getting excited yet?

Pick the right market for you that’s easy! Here is the criteria you are going to use from now on to find your way in Internet Marketing! The market (people) you want to sell to is…

1. Easy to get to.

2. Desperate or at least Hungry for what you will offer them.

3. AND they (your market) have the ability (money) to buy and the willingness (motivation) (bald guys) to spend money on what you are going to offer them!

If you are getting a little excited right now I wouldn’t blame you. If you are NOT then either you knew it already and are well on your way or you are stuck at the beginning and you wouldn’t recognize gold if your fillings fell out. I always loved that phrase and look for opportunities to use it.

There’s your nugget. I’ve been asked many times, “How can I Make Money Online?” I usually start by telling them to learn the skills necessary for success at IM. Well, here’s the big one. Pick the right market for you that’s easy! Use the 1,2,3 criteria. The closer your market (group of people) conform to the 3 points the easier it will be for you!! Now, go find your market!
