My Pathetic Little Internet Marketing Plan Part One

While I seriously doubt that many of my readers care much about me personally, at least some introduction to my personal story is necessary in order that you understand my pathetic little Internet Marketing plan and why it could very well be what a lot of people need to get where they want to be when it comes to getting started with making a living online.

I have found myself in something of a unique position full of both advantages and disadvantages. I am a writer by trade, something of an antagonist I suppose, though certainly not without reason or purpose and I went Galt about four years ago. That basically means that I left the rat race. Some of the reasons for my doing that were due to circumstances beyond my control and some were simply an increasing sense of frustration with “the real world” Thus, I left a very good job and came back to the Philippines so I could concentrate on my writing.

I never set out to get rich and I do not write books telling others how to get rich when I have not. I am a writer but as prices continue falling, I find myself having to increase my Internet Marketing efforts in order to continue living where I do and not having to re-enter the rat race. Thus, I have devised my pathetic little Internet Marketing plan in order to get started … again. You see, I was situated, but a “partner” decided to abscond with my funds and my products and leave me high and dry.

Oddly enough, when I did manage to get back online, I was approached with a way to get rich that looks very viable and I was honored to be evaluated for a case study for that project. I will be promoting it on my site when it becomes available to the general public and if you do already have the means in place, let me tell you, you will not be able to help succeeding with that one as long as you follow the plan that is given. Unfortunately, I do not have the necessary tools in place to follow it at this time and for me, it was simply not a viable option.

Thus it was that I, like many people just getting into Internet Marketing, began again with very little … effectively nothing but a web site and a drive to succeed.

While I cannot show you how to get rich online, I can show you a great place to start if you are like me and do not have excessive needs, do have a little bit of patience and are willing to work for your Internet Marketing Success.

List Building Online

Okay, I am changing my focus a little bit here.

I just got back online after a very long absence due to circumstances far beyond my control. I am going to be set up soon for doing some Internet Marketing and I thought that this would be as good of a place as any to start.

One of the most important aspects of building up a successful Internet Marketing is building a list. Since I have been offline for so long, not only do I not have a product, but I have no list, no writing clients and pretty much nothing going for me. I do however, finally have the means in place to get paid for my efforts so I am going to be making an effort to rebuild from scratch.

Since list building is so important, the first part of my online Internet Marketing adventure will be building up a list. While today is my first day, I have recently discovered a new tool known as the List Spawner. Not only does it seem viable, but actually very likely to help me to build a targeted niche list, but to build it quickly and rapidly.

If you have been involved with Internet Marketing for any length of time, you probably already have a good and responsive list. However, would it really hurt to add more potential customers to your lists online?

If you are new to the world of Internet Marketing, you should realize right off the bat that buying lists is going to be counter-productive and will never produce viable or consistent results. In other words, you can buy all of the lists and all of the traffic that you can afford and it is probably not going to do you any good at all.

You have to target the traffic to your site and the list that you build to a particular niche. If you want help doing this, I would have to say that my first day's results with this free software make it worthwhile. I do not have a list large enough to retire on after only one day, but I do have the start of one.

Whether you are trying to add on to your list or want to build an entirely new list in an entirely new niche, I would highly recommend the absolutely free software from List Spawner. Check it out, you really do have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
