To make money online, many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don’t just jump right in unprepared.

The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who’d have you believe it’s a “Walk in the Park” and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

And I’ll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?

My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, “what comes first the chicken or the egg”? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion – I have no clue and I don’t think many of us do either.

But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

Passion in this sense simply means that you’ve researched and like the company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like (or Passion) into the education, excitement and work that usually accompany Passion.

I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I’m concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.

Now, I’m not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join – but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.

It therefore follows that, if you have no Passion for the company and the products and services provided by that company, again, you won’t attempt to do the work you are being taught.

Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time consuming but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you off and running with a sustained effort so that you won’t stumble.

You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!

Your research should uncover a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have Passion. If you don’t find it move on, You can find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above.

Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I’ll start that business – does not sound like a decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an Internet “guru” does that, don’t be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate about the company products and services.

Note: By the way it’s your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.

Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you don’t first find the right company products and services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.

Not being Passionate about a company and products and services that has market proof that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.

Amazon does it, EBAY does it, so why can’t you?

After all, up-selling is a technique employed by leading e-commerce sites to boost their sales and though you may be some light years away from them, this could be used by you effectively too. And though this is a technique, there is not a lot different from up-selling and selling by themselves!

There are many ways you could up-sell a product, but before we get into knowing the easiest method, know that an up-sell is a product you wish to sell immediately after he has bought the first one. Needless to say, the second product or the product to be up-sold has to be related to the first product bought by the customer.

To the point – The easiest method to up-sell is to work on the ‘checkout’ page!

What you can do with the Checkout Page?

I’m not asking you to redesign the entire webpage. Follow this process to uncover the easiest method to up-sell.

First, identify your webpage which you want to include the upsell. It could be your product page, salesletter page, your newsletter subscription page, your thank you page and so on.
 
Then just add an option for them to include MORE products before they ‘checkout’.

So if it’s a newsletter subscription page, ask them if they want to include a free trial offer to your other paid product before they click “Register” on your newsletter page.

If your page is a salesletter webpage, give them an option to include another of your product before they click the “Order Now” button.

Here’s another example – if your webpage is a shopping cart, you can always ‘upsell’ your prospects for them to add more quantity of the product that they’re buying.

The list goes on.

Here are some things you would like to watch out for while up-selling:

==>  The product you up-sell needs to be somewhat related to the product the customer bought. The closer the correlation, the better it is for you because you’ll get more sales.

==>  Write your up-selling ad as carefully and diligently as you would have designed your sales ad. Just the fact that the customer bought one product from you doesn’t mean he is sure to buy another!

==>  Up-sell but don’t push – Pushing is bad for any form of selling and the same applies in up-selling too. Inform the
customer about your product and leave the choice to him. Also, bear in mind that you’re adding more value to your customer by offering greater solutions to them in your upsell products.

The method to up-sell your product is not as tough as you would have thought it to be. Basically, if you’re not integrating any upsell in your sales funnel, you’re literally losing money.

It’ll cost you more time, effort and money to acquire a new customer compare to selling to an existing customer who already trust you and like your product.

Although the technicalities surrounding the deal make it a slightly tough nut to crack, but I can tell you that it’s worth your time to explore this powerful marketing strategy.

I just picked up this cool tip from my good friend -
Jo Han Mok, who’s truly a Master Wordsmith.

Apparently, certain words that end with “ly” can be
sneakily used in your copy to slowly and hypnotically
influence your readers.

Obviously, these words easily slip into their minds
under their radar and you can clearly see how these
words work powerfully as persuasion weapons.

Quite evidently, I’ve already led by example in using
all these words in the couple of paragraphs earlier…

* obviously
* clearly
* slowly
* apparently
* certainly
* easily
* powerfully
* evidently
* Insantly

Spot them? : – )

Then next time you write copy, try sprinkling your
copy with a liberal dose of words that end with “ly”.

I think you might easily wind up amazed at how much
more ‘hypnotic’ your copy instantly becomes.

Hope you found this quick tip useful.

P.S. Obviously, if you like what I just shared with
you, you’ll clearly be delighted with Jo Han’s brand
new “Recipe For Riches” report, which you’ll certainly
want to pick up, over at:

When I purchase the Dell laptop, it came with 15 months McAfee SecurityCenter. It’s going to expire on 24th Jan 2009.

I received an email from my friend says that McAfee is doing a promotion for up to 50% discount. Hack, this is a great deal that must grab it.

Note: The software activation date is start from your purchase date.

I communicate with the McAfee sales support regarding my current version McAfee still left 1 month to be expired. So they made a special arrangement to extend my new purchase to extra month.

I upgraded to Total Protection 2009 because it’s more features and advanced.

Here’s the different:

SecurityCenter: 7 in 1 features
Total Protection 2009: 12 in 1 features.

For now, Total Protection 2009 offer 3 users license and 1 year subscription for only $40. (Normal price: $80)

Hey, if you’re existing McAfee customer, don’t login to your account to purchase because you will only get $10 discount. Luckily I knew this special link from my friend to access the 50% discount.

Click here to access the 50% discount for McAfee product (special link may expire anytime)

If you have existing version that haven’t expire, make sure you contact the sales support to let them know first before you purchase so they will extend your license.

Why use McAfee?

You can’t afford your important information to hack by the hacker on the internet. Especially you’re using your computer to access your bank account, Paypal, 2Checkout or online shopping.

Hacker can easily steal your credit card information if your computer is not protected.

There are many viruses and trojan nowadays, so you must protect your computer before they affected.

What can you do with E-books and how can you or your downline increase their credibility almost instantly (even if you guys are brand spanking new in network marketing…)

Very simple… just slap your name on it!

Let me explain carefully the concept of private label rights:

With the private label rights or PLR to a collection of network marketing books, you will get the Microsoft WORD document (in addition to the PSD file for viewing) which you can edit.

Let’s say the title of the book is – How to generate more leads for any MLM business.

You will get the chance to edit the book and call it… How to generate more leads for any MLM business – by “your name”

Imagine how sweet is that?

What will your friends or your prospects think of you if you have AUTHORED your very own book?

Did you know that reading a book creates a very deep connection with your prospects? They will be able to perceive you as an expert and listen to every word you say.

But the problem with writing the book is that not everyone can write. Even if they can, most people just don’t have the flair for writing. And ghostwriter’s aren’t particularly cheap either. Don’t even get me started on the market research aspect…

But with PLR, you get to skip all that straight to the end – (just like a boring TV show, you would just want to skip all the way to the ending just to see what happens in the end…)

The book is 99.9% completed, just slap your name on it and you are done.

Best of all, your downlines can do it too – no training or headaches required… just pure, 100% duplication.

Gain access to these books at $1 each:

Can a doctor stop learning new things?

Do you confident to see a doctor that never update his knowledge in the past 5 years?

Whether it’s offline or online businesses, new things are keep on coming out fast. Let’s say mobile phone, a new model sell $1800 when it’s just released. Three months later, the price drop until $1500 because of another new model came out.

New books, courses and programs release every month, every week and every day. People are getting smarter after a new thing is came out.

In my previous post, I have talked about asking marketing question techniques. People are smarter than the last 10 years ago. You couldn’t apply the last 10 years old technique to attack on the new generation people.

If you have a friend that didn’t meet him for 2 years and you suddenly call him out for a coffee or lunch, he will know that you have something to sell him. Usually is MLM or Direct Selling opportunities. That’s common enough!

Sometimes I also receive a phone call from a friend that we didn’t see each other since graduated. Guess what? A direct selling opportunity to ’share’ with me. I’m OK with that, and totally understand that. (smile)

To make more money on my online businesses, I will need to read more, learn more, discover more, try more and do more. I’m not a genius, so I will need to learn from other people too. I bought a lot of courses, books and video to update myself.

The recent internet course is: MLM Traffic Formula by Mike Dillard

In this course, I have learned a lot about driving traffic and lead capture page (optin page). There are more to go for me since it’s a huge binder book that hundred of pages and many CDs and Video.

Black Belt Recruiting by Mike Dillard & Mark Wieser

I got my own copy Black Belt Recruiting few days ago. (see screen shot below)

If you’re doing network marketing business, this is a MUST course that you should study. Before I bought Black Belt Recruiting, I have ordered Magnetic Sponsoring book and studied few months ago.

So when the Black Belt Recruiting is launched, I ordered immediately without think twice because I know Mike Dillard always over delivered the information.

In Black Belt Recruiting information, you can easily understand and put them into action. Not like other that takes you time to understand the technique and some even very hard to put into action.

After my personally reviewed, Black Belt Recruiting is the best course that I recommend to anyone who’s doing network marketing. I did even recommend to some of my friends too.
