Internet Marketing Secret to Success
Posted on April 7, 2011 by 5BuckGuy.com
I’ve always said there are no secrets in Internet Marketing. But sure there are. The Google search and quality score algorithms are secrets, pretty much, just as a quick example.
However, when someone is trying to sell you his latest greatest secret that got him a huge bank account, and he used those secret techniques never before revealed: Bah, humbug.
So, technically, the above headline is just to grab attention.
However … if you aren’t aware of something, it’s a secret to you, so with that in mind, I’d like to reveal my secret 8 steps to Internet Marketing success. Here are the steps you have to take to make it:
* Wanting
* Attempting
* Learning
* Believing
* Focusing
* Working
* Achieving
* Enjoying
I might have left something out in some situations, but for me, wanting, attempting, and learning consumed (as I wrote in my book) about 3 years of my life. Totally consumed it, in fact.
Then I finally learned what I needed to learn (for me it was Campaign Blasting), and I finally reached the step of believing.
The last 4 steps came in rapid succession.
Regardless of your current status, you can reach step 8, I have no doubt about it at all, if you’re willing to do what it takes. I mentioned on our forum recently that I expect that most of our members are at least on step 3, and most are on step 6.
In reading posts on other forums, I see too many at step 1, and fear they will be there forever. For example, I saw a post the other day. The person wanted to earn $6,000 in 4 months, and he wanted suggestions. Someone gave him a good suggestion to try Bum Marketing, and his response was “I’m not interested in writing articles”.
Uh, excuse me? I’m not interested in getting out of a warm bed on a cold day, either, but some things require doing some things that you aren’t interested in doing.
Read the steps. Do the steps. Leave out a step and you’re asking for trouble, IMO.
Where are you today? What can you do this month to get to the next step? Ask yourself how much it would be worth to you to get there. How much time? How much effort? How much money?
Step 4 (believing) can be the quickest to achieve, and the hardest to achieve, at the same time. Some people have a devil of a time because their guard is up, non believing all the hype around them. And that can be a good thing. But then again, if you believe everyone is a scammer and a liar, who will you choose for a mentor?
It sometimes takes an ah-ha moment like I had in 2005. I read a report written by someone that I knew and trusted. I said “if he can do that, I can do that”. And then, just like that, I did that. The rest is history.
For some people, believing doesn’t happen until they see someone close to them do something amazing. Many know the story of Roger Bannister, the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes. Prior to his accomplishing that, it was widely believed that no human being could perform that feat. Soon after he did it, several others did also.
What happened there? Did they become stronger or faster in a few weeks? Did they learn a new technique? No, not at all. All that happened was that suddenly they learned that running a mile in under 4 minutes was in fact humanly possible.
If he can do that, I can do that, they said. And they did that.
You’ve heard it many times: “What the mind believes, it can achieve.”
Easier said than done, I know. But there are techniques that speed up the process.

Building up an emergency fund
Here’s a great article to follow up our earlier one on building an emergency fund, from Zen Habits.
Building up an emergency fund, if you haven’t already, is one of the most important things you can do to help your finances.
But you knew that.
It’s common financial advice, actually, but what’s not so common is how to actually do it. Obviously those who haven’t saved up an emergency fund have a difficult time saving money, even if they know they should.
So today we’ll look at some strategies for building up an emergency fund, for those of us who don’t have it so easy.
Why It’s So Critical
I don’t like to use the word “critical” often, because it’s often an exaggeration. But in this case, when we’re talking about the health of your finances, an emergency fund is definitely critical.
If you are having financial problems, the most important steps you can take immediately are 1) reduce your spending by being more frugal; 2) stop getting into debt; and 3) build an emergency fund of $1,000 (and later you can increase that to the standard 3-6 months of income).
Here are a few reasons an emergency fund is critical to your financial health:
1. Stop getting into debt. When an emergency comes up, if you don’t have an emergency fund, the first thing that will be cut from your budget is your debt repayment. You’ll use your credit card to pay for the emergency, and then you’re deeper in the hole. An emergency fund stops the need to use credit to pay for emergency expenses.
2. Smooth out your budget. If unexpected things come up, you don’t have to continually re-factor your budget to pay for these things. With an emergency fund, it makes budgeting much easier.
3. Prevent late fees. If you are living paycheck-to-paycheck, you will come up with times when you have to pay a bill late, or overdraw your bank account. With an emergency cushion, you avoid these financial hits.
4. Get ahead. If you can get a month ahead, your financial stress will drop way down. Instead of always playing catch-up, you can pay your bills ahead of time and sit back and relax.
21 Strategies for Creating an Emergency Fund
If you have trouble saving, it’s not enough to tell you how important it is to have an emergency fund. You need some strategies for doing it.
Please note that you should choose the strategies that work best for you, and perhaps combine some of them if that works better.
1. Start small. If you don’t have much to save, it doesn’t matter — the important thing is just to start. Even if it’s only $25 per paycheck, just start. It will slowly grow each paycheck, and you will be glad to see at least a little in your savings, and will soon be motivate to try to save more.
2. Automatic deduction. This is common advice, but that’s because it works. Set up an online savings account (such as ING Direct or Emigrant Direct) and have it automatically deduct an amount each payday. If you don’t have to think about it, saving will be much easier.
3. Payroll deduction. If you have discipline problems, there are accounts where you can have the amount deducted directly from your paycheck, before it’s deposited into your checking account (or before your employer cuts the paycheck).
4. Treat it as a bill. Every payday, you have a list of bills to pay before you can spend any of your money on variable expenses such as gas, groceries or eating out. Well, add your emergency fund contribution to your list of bills, and pay it at the same time. This makes it non-negotiable, and then what’s left over is what you can spend on other stuff.
5. Reduce an expense, save it. Take a look at how you’re spending money now, and find some things that can be cut back. Magazine purchases, gourmet coffee, comic books, cable TV, gizmos and gadgets. Whatever you decide to cut back on, take that same amount and put it directly into savings each paycheck. Don’t spend it.
6. Round up. I got this tip from J.D. Roth of Get Rich Slowly … actually, it’s a strategy used by his wife, who will log every purchase or check she writes into her checkbook or finance software — but rounds up to the nearest dollar. So if she spends $26.01, she enters it as $27. Over the course of a month, this can add up to decent savings.
7. Double purpose account. This tip is from Trent of The Simple Dollar, who wanted to pay down his debts but still have the financial security of an emergency fund at the same time. So Trent brilliantly used a double-purpose account: he would save money in an account, and after he reached a certain minimum, anything above that amount was being saved to pay off a specific debt. So let’s say the minimum amount is $500. After you pass $500, the money being saved is for a $200 debt (for example). Once you reach $700 in your savings account, you can pay off the $200 debt completely. Repeat the process for each debt.
8. Tip yourself. If you go to a restaurant and tip a waiter 15 or 20 percent, for example, match that tip for yourself. So if your tip is $10, tip yourself $10 as well … and put that directly in savings.
9. Keep paying debt, but to yourself. If you finish making a car payment, or paying off a credit card or smaller debt, take the amount you were paying to that debt and put it directly in savings each month. You won’t feel a difference in your budget.
10. Budget big for groceries, then save the difference. Let’s say you normally spend between $320 and $375 on groceries. Budget $400 for groceries, and whatever you don’t spend of that $400, put it in savings.
11. Quit smoking or drinking. Well, I wouldn’t bet my emergency fund on quitting one of these two addictions, but if you do quit, you should take the amount you were spending (and that’s a considerable amount, I know) and put it into savings. For me, I spent more than $5 a day on smoking — and when I quit in November 2005, it freed up $150 a month for savings.
12. Limit your access. If you are tempted to spend your savings, you should put it in an account that is hard to get to. Put your savings in a money market account or fund, and when it reaches a certain amount, roll it over into a CD or Treasury bond. You might not make as much on a CD, for example, but the point is that it’s hard to access and requires less discipline.
13. Stash a bonus or tax refund. If you get a Christmas bonus, or a tax refund, or some other such windfall, put that directly in the bank and don’t spend it. Use it for your emergency fund. Now start paying off your debt.
14. Save your change. Don’t spend any coins you get. When you get home at the end of the day, empty out your pockets into a jar, and once a month, go to the bank and put it into savings. This can add up faster than you think.
15. Save dollar bills. Similar to the above strategy, get your cash in $20 bills, or $10s or $5s. Don’t carry $1 bills. When you get $1 bills as change, don’t spend them. When you get home, put those $1 bills in an envelope, and save them.
16. Refinance. Refinancing your mortgage or auto loan can save you a lot of money. Take the amount you save and put it in savings.
17. Sell your car. If you have two cars, see if you can live without one of them. That’s what my wife and I do, and it works out fine, even with six kids. Take the amount you were paying on the second car and save it. Or, alternatively, sell your car and buy a cheaper used model. Save the difference in the payments.
18. Cut out dessert. If you’re trying to lose weight, don’t order the dessert or junk food you would normally order. Instead, put the amount you would have spent in an envelope and save it.
19. Stay in. Instead of going to the movies or eating out, cook your own meals and watch a DVD — or do something fun for free. Save the difference.
20. Freelance. Take your skills and market them as a freelancer, or get a second job on the side. Take the extra income and bank it. This was one of my strategies, and it works great.
21. Save on auto insurance. If you can switch to liability insurance, you might be able to save hundreds of dollars. Take the extra amount you would have paid for insurance and save it.
