These are two questions that new potential marketers ask often. These two questions can get a potential marketer in a whole 'heap a trouble'.
How do you get rich quick? A better question would be: How do I build a successful enduring business on the Internet?
Let's deal with 'get rich quick'. It's about as likely to happen as winning a large lottery pot! Any business whether offline or online takes time and effort. Sorry to break the bad news, but this is just fact.
The great advantage to starting a business on the Internet is that it can take less time and money than an offline business if you are willing to learn, and apply what you learn. But you must be willing to learn new skills and apply them. You also need to have patience and stick with one project and not expect overnight results. Focus an you might get rich over a period of time.
It is also important to recognize that in the beginning it does take a lot of work and time to get things going. Once you get a website built and have done a good job promoting it and begun to make some money, you can automate some of your tasks. At this point wise marketers start the whole process over with website number two and so on. Kind of like investing in different types of stock. Forget the get rich quick idea and build a solid enduring business.
What specific products do you sell online to make money?
Better to ask what types of things make for good products on the Internet. And be careful of the answers you get!
Knowing the categories of products that are likely to sell online is a good thing, but you must narrow down to a specific product yourself. What sort of things are you interested in? It is much easier to sell a product that you already have an interest in, because you will spend a lot of time dealing with the product you decide to sell whether it is your own product or an affiliate product.
Why do I say that asking these questions will get you in a 'heap a trouble'?
Because they open you up to all the snake oil merchants online. You become the prey! You will find a multitude telling you how to get rich quick and specifically what products to sell. And they will be more than willing to provide those get rich quick methods and specific products to sell.
And these things work! They work very well for the people selling them! They will get rich quick!
Think about what types of products interest you. Do some brainstorming. Make a list. Stay away from Internet Marketing as a field of interest. It is definitely not for newcomers. Choose a product in a niche market. Then research the product to see if it has demand and low competition.
