My History With Internet Marketing

I’ve been an internet marketer for a few years now. I dabbled with it here and there when I was marketing my first business, but didn’t create my first online product until around 2009. I was struggling at the time financially and I had attended a free seminar called The Millionaire Mind Intensive with T. Harv Eker. At the event, T. Harv Eker was talking all about passive income and how important it is. He shares how you won’t be financially free until your passive income exceeds your expenses. The concept of making money while I was sleeping was mind-blowing to me, but I didn’t know where to start. Harv then began talking about how internet marketing is the best way to be making passive income in this day and age, simply because you’re able to leverage yourself on the internet very easily. Harv was preaching how there’s hardly any start-up cost in starting an online business, the internet is growing so fast, and it’s something that you’ll miss out on if you don’t jump on now. As he was speaking, a lightbulb went off in my head and I decided I had to begin learning how I can make money online…

I started my first internet business part-time while I was travelling Southeast Asia. I started by creating a blog that had useful articles on how to treat different skin conditions through home remedies. I learned as much as I could about the process: keyword research, search engine optimization, writing content, creating back links, pay per click, social media, etc… It took me awhile to learn everything. It also took several months to get enough visitors to visit my blog, but once I did, I began creating an e-book that I ended up selling on Clickbank (a popular payment processor and affiliate network for information products). It was a long process. I also had to learn the skills of copywriting, creating a website, graphics design, etc… but it finally paid off as I began earning a measly passive income of around $30 in my first month. Even though that wasn’t a lot of money, it really changed my life. It made me BELIEVE that this could actually work and I was amazed that someone had actually bought MY PRODUCT!

Things really changed for me from there. I quickly grew that online business to earning a couple thousand a month profit. I then scaled it up by creating 6 other Clickbank products that were fairly similar, which helped me become financially free in less than a year. I then branched into other methods of making money online, such as affiliate marketing. I went through programs like Bring The Fresh and set up many blogs and websites that did reviews of other products and promoted them. When people would buy the product through my blog, I’d get a commission from it, which was pretty cool. I got involved with several other methods of making money online as I mention in this video blog, but it wasn’t until last year that I discovered an easier way…
