I’ve never been one to beat around the bush so I say, “Do you really want to know or are you just asking!”.

If you’re lucky it will take you a month or two depending on how much time and energy you are willing to put into it! I know that when I joined Global Resorts Network I was pretty impatient too! But I got my first sale in a week and got over it!

So at this point they might say something like, “What’s the secret?!”. I tell them that there is no secret! I tell them that they need to provide value before they can expect people to give them money! It sounds like common sense but I’m still amazed at how much people will do without educating themselves first. They want results and they want them now. They don’t want to learn about what benefits are available with Global Resorts Network membership, they just want money. . . now! I try and tell them “It doesn’t work that way! You have to be willing to spend time and money growing your knowledgebase to add to your value, so you can have something to teach people that buy from you, you have to build your value so you can be attractive to your buyers.

Now I’m certainly not suggesting you buy every Online Top Tips Secret Course tomorrow! But what I am saying is that it pays to invest in your education.

So the topic I’m going to cover today is “How to Profile Online in Five Steps”.

1) First of all, you’re going to need something to market

It sounds simple doesn’t it? Unfortunately, this is where most people get lost in a flurry of endless useless activity.

They get lost in all of the information that is out there. They don’t spend enough time marketing, but spend too much time choosing a product that’s “perfect”, then when it doesn’t market itself they wonder why they haven’t made any money! Then they’ll say it didn’t work!

IT doesn’t work YOU work! YOU have to market it. You have to put in some kind of effort before you call something a scam and say that “It doesn’t work!”.

What you market isn’t nearly as important as HOW you market! I could say that Global Resorts Network is the best company in the world, and for many people it is. . . But different shoes fit different feet!

So when you’re choosing a product to market, don’t get caught up reading reviews from people that were too lazy to work. They call everything a scam because it will always be useless to them. They get mad about that and instead of making an effort to actually promote something of value, they’ll charge you $25 to read their special report on “What Your Upline Won’t Tell You!” Ann Sieg fans beware!

At this point, I also feel that it is crucial to mention that promoting your own products is probably not a good idea if you’re new to internet marketing, or if you haven’t made any money from it yet!

Selling your own products takes a lot more time, energy and money and as a newbie you’ll be hard pressed to create something that people will actually want to buy, so take note! A lot of people get all emotional at this point and think that something’s great because they created it!

Don’t trust yourself until you have made some real money! Unless you really want to spend even longer learning all the basics without getting paid! You’ll be thanking me later when your experience promoting others’ products puts you in a position where you can sell an E-book and some Recordings for $97 and sell 100 to your list just by sending out one email. Your list will grow naturally if you follow the steps provided in this email. You’ll also feel confident charging such a price because you’ll know that the value you’re providing is worth FAR more than $97!

So, ideally you would pick a program that you would feel comfortable talking about in depth. A Company that you can be passionately and genuinely enthusiastic about. This point is crucial because your job is going to involve you talking about it A LOT, so do your research and take your time until you find something that suits you personally.

Don’t be tempted to skip this point and just pick the first thing that catches your eye! If you get stuck, take some time out from your computer for a while, sit down with a pen and a piece of paper and write down what your main interests are so that you can look for a product that complements your true nature. Take some time because it will pay off handsomely later Plus you want to make sure you come across as congruent.

I feel passionate about promoting Global Resorts Network because I love travel. I do well promoting Global Resorts Network because people sense that I believe that what I’m promoting is valuable. If you believe that what you’re promoting is valuable then the only thing that could possibly block you from achieving financial success online is . . . laziness!

So after you’ve done some thinking and you’ve worked out what you’d like to promote, you need to get a duplicatable system going, this will ensure that you don’t have to spend hours showing people how to do every little thing before tehy’ve made money, people want to make money quickly so the simpler and more duplicatable it is the better. We use Global Pro Builder, IIP and RFS A LOT!

Some companies like Global Resorts Network have a joining fee of $1500 or $3000 if you want the product too, however, if you don’t want the product you can just join as an affiliate for $100 and this caters to the lower end of the market whilst still giving them the opportunity to make $1000 commissions on their front and back line sales

2) By now you should have your programme to market and you can move on to the fun stuff which is “Branding Yourself”

Branding is crucial in this industry and is becoming more and more important across the board in all industries as time goes by.

After you are checked out and indexed by SEs, there are methods to track your position, ranking, popularity, etc. Let me stop right here. Here is a rule to write down and save, whenever a term, or a step I mention slows you down or you find confusing, since all are probably new. The best thing to do is stop, perform a search and you will find the answer. You can also find lots of good information on Forums. Say search Golf Forum, and you would be surprised, sign in, ask for help, and some members will respond with possible options. You now have momentum, ran into a few speed bumps, but found ways to overcome these and keep moving forward. Step 8 : Site promotion marketing guidelines. A) Auto site submitters, to the balance of SE companies’ world wide, sometimes your host will do this free monthly. B) SEO , I would save your money, until later. C) Blogging and pinging. Basically updating info on your site, articles, etc. , and telling the SE something new, come and recheck my site, to improve ranking. This is really part of SEO. D) Free advertising, ok, but setup a free dumping e-mail acct, and be prepared for a load of e-mail in return. Note, check it also since many ask to confirm this e-mail. Step 9: Bottom line real marketing that gets results. Most of the so called tools you may find are old information like FFA, are a great example. But I wanted to touch on two things that do in fact work and work well over time. First it will take 3 plus months for these to show any significant results, but its really about viral marketing, something that keeps your site growing over time, using many other sites, directories, etc to advertise free for you. My favorite: Article marketing, write articles, distribute through submitters, Isnare; Article Marketing, others. This is a second favorite, but if you had a site on Scuba Diving at Cebu Island; one of 7,200 islands in the Philippines, where my teacher was French, another from Japan, one German, one Italian. ; get the picture, this site should have options for multiple languages. You may pickup another 3,000 visitors per month. I sold software to an island off the coast of South Africa. I never heard of it before and had to look it up on a world map. Step 9. 9: Final Marketing tip, go talk with, Build it Site Sell; it is a great company that can provide all the needs to get you up and running, domains, website, marketing, and turn traffic into customers. This Marketing model can apply to any topic, subject of choice, just does it, and you will be rewarded. Last, persistence wins, remember this message.

Step 1 : Set Goals : Sounds basic, but most fail right here at the beginning, so lets jump start the process roadmap for you. Roll out a 1 year goal roadmap, break it down by each month. I built factories in many countries so how do you think I did this. There was no option to fail . So here is your final goal at Month 12: Your goal is resign from your 8 to 5 job forever. Sounds scary but a realistic goal. Now you can change at will, but at least make a commitment. Other options to consider; retire at month 12, and your job becomes a hobby.

Step 2 : Goal for Month 1, Decision on what information product you are going to focus on and market. Sounds as if I made the decision for you, and I did in fact. Simply any successful marketing individual will say it over and over, works for me. Information is in constant demand, the internet; your marketing money machine, has an endless thirst for information. Go write an e-book about something you really enjoy, sport, hobby, something you always had a passion for, and start writing now. Find someone to complete it , if need be.

Step 3 : Complete drafting goals for months 2 through 11. How you approach this is really simple, and again lets make this easy for you. Month 12 goal is very clear on exactly what you are planning to achieve, the goal is written in blood, you signed it, your wife blessed it ; since you will have some expenses, and the wife should be a supporter of your future. Here is how you approach filling in your monthly goals. Actually start with your month 12 goal, and work your way back, making adjustments, modifications as your goal structure takes place.

Step 4. Planning stage ; creating a plan of action under each months goal. Now this might look like itemized action items, with even sub action items to be completed in each month time frame. See, you have already established the foundation to a marketing plan, business on the internet, topic of desire, and now its time to think through each step of how you will get there, month to month.

Step 5. Select the following partners in this order, as you are going to start building from the foundation up, your Marketing Money Machine. First, select a domain company, and your first domain name, like Go Daddy, however there are many out there. I am only giving you steps, read up on domains if you need more detail. Second, a web host company, again Host Monster, or Host Gator, read up on hosts, there are many out there. These two offer simple features to build your first website, does this scare you a bit, never built one ? Well me to, but now I have many working for me, its fun. Everything is getting automated, icon, pictures, drag, drop, click. 30 minutes, done. If you do not understand these terms then pull up some sites and read up on further details, start with the two I mentioned, and ask questions, if you still do not get it, have one built, it may cost a small sum, but its all about saving time and headaches.

Step 6. Recap, you have goals over a 1 year period, you have a e-book written, read up on how to; you have some good partners, domain, host acct. , a website, your e- book is setup on your site, priced accordingly, since you found similar ones for 29. 95 each, so you priced for qty at 19. 95 each special time limited offer, and 3 free bonuses. These are all pretty basic. And I added feature which most Hosts provide, are auto responders, read up on these. So, what next.

Step 7: Time to launch, but make this count, here are some simple guidelines to get you going. First register your site , yes by hand, sound scary ? Why, simply because the top three SE companies will ask you to type in the code shown, to verify you are not a robot, spamming them to register every 10 minutes for high SE rankings. So, here they are: Google, Yahoo, MSN. The forms are so easy it might take you over one minute each. Go checkout Google site submit, and look how easy it really is. Now you might ask, what about all those 800,000 SE site submitter robots, that do it all for you, special software for 49. 99. Well, simply the 3, I gave you represent well over 90 percent total SE traffic, so right now save your money.

After you are checked out and indexed by SEs, there are methods to track your position, ranking, popularity, etc. Let me stop right here. Here is a rule to write down and save, whenever a term, or a step I mention slows you down or you find confusing, since all are probably new. The best thing to do is stop, perform a search and you will find the answer. You can also find lots of good information on Forums. Say search Golf Forum, and you would be surprised, sign in, ask for help, and some members will respond with possible options. You now have momentum, ran into a few speed bumps, but found ways to overcome these and keep moving forward. The balance of steps are going to be brief , specific, site, and product promotion, which is an on going cycle.
Here is an excellent Forum, Warriors, you can probably find someone to build a site, if need be.

Step 8 : Site promotion marketing guidelines. A) Auto site submitters, to the balance of SE companies world wide, sometimes your host will do this free monthly. B) SEO , I would save your money, until later. C) Blogging and pinging. Basically updating info on your site, articles, etc. , and telling the SE something new, come and recheck my site, to improve ranking. This is really part of SEO. D) Free advertising, ok, but setup a free dumping e-mail acct, and be prepared for a load of e-mail in return. Note, check it also since many ask to confirm this e-mail.

Step 9: Bottom line real marketing, that gets results. Most of the so called tools you may find are old information like FFA, is a great example. But I wanted to touch on two things that do in fact work and work well over time. First it will take 3 plus months for these to show any significant results, but its really about viral marketing, something that keeps your site growing over time, using many other sites, directories, etc to advertise free for you. My favorite: Article marketing, write articles, distribute through submitters, Isnare; Article Marketing. com, others. My articles are picked up by directories, others, which make them available to anyone, who needs content on their website, but they must leave your name and site address at the bottom, so it is a snow ball effect forever , building links, popularity, and SE ranking position improved overtime.

This is a second favorite, but if you had a site on Scuba Diving at Cebu Island; one of 7,200 islands in the Philippines, where my teacher was French, another from Japan, one German, one Italian. ; get the picture, this site should have options for multiple languages. You may pickup another 3,000 visitors per month. The software is out there. Many think the market is all based in the USA, thats absolutely wrong, you need to broaden your vision and realize there are customers everywhere. I sold software to an island off the coast of South Africa. I never heard of it before and had to look it up on a world map.

Step 9. 9: Final Marketing tip, go talk with, Build it Site Sell; it is a great company that can provide all the needs to get you up and running, domains, website, marketing, and turn traffic into customers. They have a very good performance record. So there, you cannot fail, no room for excuses. This Marketing model can apply to any topic, subject of choice, just do it, and you will be rewarded. Last, persistence wins, remember this message.

Step 1 ? Buy a domainYou need to buy a domain. A domain is the address of your website, like google. com. Buy a domain that has to do with your subject or business you are creating. I recommend getting one that has a . com and nothing else like . net or . org. Domains usually cost around $8 every year if you register it with GoDaddy.

Step 2 ? Buy Hosting for you new siteThe next thing you need is a host. This is someone who will store your site on a server so that anyone can access it. Hosting usually costs $8 a month. The hosts I recommend are Blue host, Host Monster, and Network Solutions. Once you get a host, you will need to either transfer your domain to them or point your domain to them. Get more info on that from your hosting company.

Step 3 ? Build a websiteThis is not as scary as it may sound. If you know anything about HTML, then you can go ahead and build your own site. The easier thing to do though is to just browse online and get a free template that has all the designs premade for you. You can also use WordPress which makes everything a lot easier. Just keep in mind that WP is more for people who plan on blogging or writing articles.

Step 4 ? Market the Hell out of itThis is my favourite part. Once you have your product on your site or your affiliate links in place, all you have to do is go out and find a targeted audience and create a marketing plan stating how you will promote to them. You put up your link to your site on as many forums, articles, videos, etc, as you can. Let people know that you exist.
