This one tip your about to discover could very well determine your online survival!

Dave here with a quick tip that will shed some light on a problem that I see many beginner (and some advanced) marketers struggling with...

I often get asked what's the secret to online success, and quite often my response tends to shock more than a few people. They expect a long winded reply about generating lists, providing unique content, building trust, creating relationships, yada, yada yada.

But the answer takes them by complete surpise because it's definitely not what they expected!

Hey, don't get me wrong. All this stuff is crucial to creating a solid long-term business. But some people fall for the trap of putting the cart before the horse and getting themselves into a right royal mess.

Making money online is a very simple process, yet every day people seem to go out of their way to make it as complicated as they can.

The truth is... the more complicated you make it, the more difficult and frustrating it becomes. But somehow I get the feeling I'm not telling you something you don't already know :o)

To put it in very simple terms...

The #1 Key to Online Success is Pure SIMPLICITY!

I know that sounds to simple to be true... but I just can't put it in simpler
terms!

When first starting out, you need to make it as simple as you possibly can. Forget about trying to save the world. First you need to save yourself from yourself! Does that make any sense?

Let me explain.

The biggest mistake that I see newbies make when trying to create their online business is that they try to invent that one thing that will make them a super star. That one great idea that will make them more money than Scrooge McDuck. The one amazing new product that is going to change the world as we know it!

This type of thinking has lead to the failure of more online businesses that anything else on the face of the planet and is the primary reason why 95% of all online marketers NEVER make a single dime!

The 'secret' is to keep it simple and to find something that ALREADY works, and then simply leverage off this success to create a model for your own success.

In other words...

Don't try to be the star attraction on Saturday Night Live in your first month online... or even your second or third month!

You need to take it slow and learn the ropes by first finding something that is already working, copy it and then suck it dry for all that it's worth. Then repeat the process again and again and again.

Do this and before you know it, you'll slip under the radar and start making more money than you can poke 10 forked sticks at... honest :o)

So the question is... "how do you find what already works"?

Again there is a simple answer...

(Hot Tip - Burn the above statement into your brain, memorize it and never forget... your online survival depends on it. It is that important!)

Read the papers or your favorite magazines and identify what's hot by seeing what is being advertised. Then grab some back-issues of these same publications and compare what products are being promoted from one issue to the next.

The products you find that are being continually advertised from week to week are the ones that are making the advertisers bucketloads of money. Why?

Well would you continually fork out big bucks for advertising in these publications if you weren't making money from them? Of course not!

But that's not all...

Another simply way to find out what's working in real-time is to perform some secret stealth undercover work by spying on the pay-per-click (ppc) search engines, such as Google.

For example... let's say you're interested in karaoke and you're wondering if it would be worthwhile tapping into this market. All you need do is go to Google and do a search for "karaoke."

Notice the Google Adwords that appear on the right-hand side of the search results page. Marketers are paying to have these ads listed to promote karaoke products, services or websites.

But before you click on them (you'll do that later), I'm going to show you how you can use them to learn whether you can profit from your chosen niche or not?

First off, go to the first three pages of the search engine results and print out or copy the Google Adwords listed on each page. Then wait 2 weeks and do the exact same thing using the same search phrase, in this case "karaoke". (Yeah I know, but you need to be patient)

Now this is where it gets real interesting...

Compare the first list of ads with that of the current list you have and circle the ones that are on BOTH lists.

Guess what? You've just identified the ads for "karaoke" that are turning a profit for the advertisers.

All you need to do then is visit the websites of the selected ads and check out
how they are promoting their products.

	Is it an affiliate site or do they own their own product?
	What pricing structure are they using?
	Do they review a single product or do they have a comparison site that compares a number of similar type products?
	Do they offer a backend product to capture additional sales?
	etc, etc, etc.

Once you've found out all that you can, join an affiliate program and then create your own site to promote your chosen product.

[Note - I have found that the best method is to become an affiliate to multiple products and then create a site that gives an honest review of each product, as well as to provide helpful content that is informative to your targeted audience. More on this shortly]

Now, as you already know that the product is successful, it's just a matter of doing some investigations and creating a Google Adwords campaign to begin promoting your own site.

But a word of warning...

If you choose to use Google Adwords, start with small bids for your keywords until you know what your sales conversion rate is. Once you've established your conversion, you can adjust your bids to suit your budget.

For example, if you place a bid of 20 cents for your keywords, and you're sales conversion is 1 sale for every 150 clicks, then it is costing you $30.00 for every sale you make (150 x .20).

If the profit on each sale is $50, then you are making $20.00 per sale and, if you want, you have flexibility to increase your bid price and still make a profit on each sale.

However, if you profit on each sale is only $20.00, then you are losing $10 on each sale and you need to either reduce your bid to a more suitable level or improve your website to increase your conversion rate.

An alternative Option for driving traffic to your site!

Of course this is just one method of driving traffic to your site.

You could also create a content-driven site that focuses on your niche topic using information that your target market is looking for, in this case karaoke. In turn this will entice the search engines spiders to visit your site and you have a chance to obtain a high listing in the search engines.

If you choose this method and you're looking for content, then don't worry. All the content you'll ever need for just about any topic is available at your
finger tips.

There is a myriad of article and public domain content this is freely available from the net. All you need to do is spend a bit of time search your favorite search engine and you'll find all the info you need. Yep, that's right. You will need to do some work. But the rewards will certainly be worth it!

And if you think that you need unique content on your site to get a high search engine listing... you don't!

Using someone else's articles that are highly relevant to your topic is an excellent strategy to create instant content for your site. All you need do is add a few lines of additional comments about the article or add an RSS feed to the bottom of the page and all of a sudden you've got unique content that isn't available on any other site on the net.

A highly effective method for attracting theattention of the search engine spiders..

For that matter, you could simply create a blog about your topic and then post a mixture of RSS content and articles to the site on a regular basis and then use whatever method you chose to grab the attention of the search engines to spider your site.

A good example of using the blog content method can be seen at:
http://www.specialmortgagerates.com

While this blog focuses on generating an income from Adsense revenue, there is no reason why you couldn't add some affiliate links on the site to create additional streams of income or add additional pages of content that specifically focuses on promoting your affiliate products.

This is an excellent method of attracting the spiders to your site and at times this can result in high placement in the search engines.

Now you will be required to do some work to make this successful. But if your time is limited, then rather than having to search for content on the net, which can be time consuming, there are additional strategies to creating unique content to help reduce your workload and to free-up soe of your spare time.

==> Boost Your Online Business in More Ways Than One!

Repeat... Repeat... Repeat...

Oh yeah! In case you haven't figured it out yet, you can follow the above steps to create sites for virtually any market, topic or product you want by simply repeating the process for each of the niches you're interested in.

With a little effort on your part, in no time at all you could create a network of sites that are generating a nice online income.

Hmmm. All of a sudden it's not that hard is it?

You CAN succeed... IF you take action!
