The Two Real Keys To Online Success



If you have a site dealing with the whole subject of Internet Marketing
(I have two) you will surely get questions asking how all this “web stuff”
is done? Just how does one make the web give them a part-time or a full-time
income? What do you have to do…

While there are countless ways to make a living from the web and no we
are not talking about those hype-filled “overnight success stories” or
those “push button miracles” which will make the cash grow faster than
Donald Trump can say you’re fired.

But if you want to build a solid online business that will last for
decades to come, it definitely can be done. However, it will take some
work and time to build that business. Most people don’t like to hear that
and most end their online pursuits right there. Probably for the best,
because if you don’t have the time to spend at all this web stuff
– chances are great that you won’t succeed.

Now, starting a site or blog is quite easy, but creating quality content
over months and even years, is the hard part. Building quality backlinks
to your content takes a lot of time. So too, does the close monitoring
of your site’s traffic and stats to find the keywords which lead to a sale
or lead. Plus, constantly updating your site or content will also take
up more of your time and energy.

And we won’t even mention all the SEO techniques and tactics you have
to master, nor all the web marketing knowledge you have to acquire in
order to make it all work for you and your site.


Trial and Error


If you’re like me and thousands of other successful webmasters, you might
be lucky to stumble upon a few tactics which work or some content which
quickly appears at the top of the rankings in Google. At first this will
be more of a “trial and error” technique than any marketing genius on your
part. Or maybe you will persist for so long and offer up so much good
quality material – the search engines simply can’t ignore you or your site.

When it’s all said and done, I believe many beginning webmasters and marketers
simply stumble onto tactics or content which just clicks. Suddenly, you have
web pages which are producing income… so what if it’s only a few dollars
a day. That’s how I started but those first few dollars are extremely
significant because you then know it can be done.

You also realize once you have earned your first dollar… all you have to
do is to repeat the process to make another dollar.

This will probably be your “ah ha” moment. It will open your eyes of things
to come.

But you won’t stop there before long you will discover that the real benefits
of computers and the web is the fact that many tasks can be completely automated
and placed on autopilot. First, you will realize that once you build your website,
it will be up and running 24/7/365 regardless of what you’re doing. And once you
have that traffic flowing, it will be bringing in sales and leads around the clock.

Automation really is the key to making your online pursuits not only easier
but also much more effective. You can automate your list building systems,
you can automate your article delivery, you can even automate your content
creation in the form of visitor feedback and reviews, you can also automate
all your monthly payments and collections.

Automating everything also gives you more time to plan your marketing strategies
and tactics. It will also give you the time to create more niche sites and content.
Plus, it will free up your personal time so that you can do all the things you
want to do.

Once you have your online marketing and sites running on autopilot, you can
advance to the next important step which will increase your success even further.
That next step is “scale” or “scaling up” your marketing to increase those sales
and leads. Actually, this will come naturally, once you have a site or page that
is earning you income… you will instinctively want to create more pages and
more sites.

How far you “scale up” your online pursuits will depend upon your own preferences
and how busy or involved you want to become in your business. Some marketers start
creating niche sites like mad and even out-source the production of these sites
and content; paying other people to create those pages and sites for you. Instead
of a 10 page site, you have a 1,000 or even a 10,000 page site – creating income
for you, or instead of 1 site, you have 10 or 100 sites.


Scale And Automation Are The Real Keys To Online Success

Of course, some marketers go even further and hire workers or staff to run their
sites and create content. This is taking your business to the next level and can
bring its owns set of complications and risks.

Myself, I take a more safer route and keep my operations much simpler. I do
out-source my video production and article distribution… but mostly I create
all my content myself mainly because I want to keep a closer watch on the quality.
Plus, I like a less busy lifestyle and even with automation, running more than 10
or so sites are more than enough for me. In other words, I could scale up my marketing
but it would probably mean hiring workers and staff – which really is not what I am
looking for in my online business or in my life.

No doubt, you may be completely different and want a more involved role or a more
complex online business. Then using scale and automation will give you the tools
and means to go as far as you want.

My First Apple Product



BWMagic’s Internet Marketing News





My First Apple Product


And now for something a little different…

I am currently on vacation. If you can call it that because with
Internet marketing and making your living online, you’re on permanent
vacation, at least to your neighbors. They never see you go to work
and they still look at you kinda funny when they see you buying all
the latest toys. While I take time off, I always like to check out
the latest gadgets and gizmos on the market.

Last week I finally caved in and bought my first Apple product – the iPod Touch.
I was so impressed with this little contraction, less than a week later I
found myself making a 10 kilometer walk to my favorite tech store to buy
the iPad. Certifiable, or what?

Don’t know why, but I never bought into the whole Apple/Steve Jobs storyline.
Way too much manufactured coolness for my liking, besides Apple has always
seemed to me like the only high-tech company which has evolved into a
cult-like status. Something very unhealthy about the way Apple users fuss
over those little shiny silver objects – just not right.

However, after buying the iPod Touch, I completely understood why Apple can
draw such devotion from its die-hard fans. The Touch had me at “Slide to Unlock”.
The simple intuitive nature of this device is what finally dragged me into the
cheering section. I immediately liked the way it fit and felt in my hand on
one of my many daily walks.

My main purpose for buying the iPod was to have a Walkman (anyone remember those)
for walks and this Apple product does the job perfectly. It was worth the $200
price tag for me, but I am custom to spending ridiculous amounts of money on
gadgets and gizmos… having just bought a 3 grand Samsung 3D TV, the iPod was
rather cheap. This is for both business and pleasure. I am constantly writing
about tech products and examining the “Real McCoys” is part of the process.
I recently created a new site on 3D because I believe over the next few years
it has a slight chance of entering the mainstream – especially in 3D gaming.

But the iPod is not only for music, I can surf the web with the Wi-Fi function,
but the small screen makes scrolling almost impossible. At least, for someone
on the wrong side of 50, who’s eyesight is no way near 20/20 the iPod can be
a real challenge. The typing function alone takes some getting used to but
the “texting thumbs” generation would probably have a field with this device.

Besides the music and video, the iPod has some handy features which are very
convenient to have, especially the email, calendar, calculator, maps and weather.
Not to mention the App Store which features hundreds of thousands of applications
you can download both free and ones that you will have to pay for.

Overall, I was impressed with the first Apple product which I had bought.
Of course, once I had the iPod Touch, buying the iPad was the next logical
step for me. I simply had to have more viewing area and the iPad is simply
the iPod expanded to the power of 10. Some funny comparisons to aroused
naughty bits come readily to mind, but we won’t go there!

With the iPad, I knew exactly what I was buying but there was no reason I
could justify the purchase except for my poor eyesight. For after all the
iPad is the best useless thing I have ever bought, not counting the 3D TV
– which is still waiting for more 3D content to hit the market. The iPad is
totally puzzling, it is not a computer so you really can’t do much with it
except surf the web, and even that is rather difficult and takes some getting
used to, especially on web pages with many sub-menus. Of course, you can
download and read books but I haven’t tried that yet – don’t know if I can
ever get used to reading a book on an electronic device. I am purely “old school”
and I still like the heavyweight of Stephen King’s “Under The Dome” in my hands.
Thank You!

The iPad is rather useless but totally entertaining. I like the feel of it
and simple tasks like email and simple web surfing are rather enjoyable.
So too is watching videos, especially YouTube ones. Can’t wait to further
explore this handy little device and write more about it.

I believe my main beef with Apple is the lack of a search engine. Apple and
Apple products do need their own search engine, one that is different from Google
or Bing. We need something to replace Yahoo… Apple fanatics should demand
nothing less.

Obviously, if Apple wants to play with the Big Boys and have any kind of
a real stake in the web of the future, it simply has to develop its own
search engine, sooner rather than later. From a marketing perspective,
why Apple hasn’t developed its own search engine to go along with its
countless millions of devices, is totally perplexing. Talk about a
missed opportunity.

Just think about it… Apple has its own operating systems, computers, browser…
having its own search engine would be the next logical step for a company so
controlling as Apple. It’s almost like a running punch line which never comes,
I keep expecting Steve Jobs to stand on that stage and quietly open up an
Apple Search engine to loud applause for its many cult-like followers in
the audience. But the punch line never comes…

And if it doesn’t come, the last joke will definitely be on Apple,
regardless of how many revolutionary products they have in the pipeline.
Mainly because without its own search engine Apple will never reach its
full potential. It will also have to play second fiddle to Google and Microsoft.
In the long run, that’s not going to be any fun or even very profitable for Apple.
