You may feel really frustrated and overwhelmed with all the online marketing trainings, webinars, and next great online tools to market you business. With all the convoluted information you get, you probably want to know what tools do you really need, right? Well, let’s see what’s it takes to make money online…
“The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.” ~ Napoleon Hill
If you want to comes to make money online, there is a lot of hype on what tools and strategies work. People are always trying to convince you that their program is the best and that it’s the next big thing.
Is there just one online marketing program or tool that works the best?
Do you really need a bunch of tools to really see the results you want?
From experience, I’ve used many different tools and 4 different online marketing systems. I cut off all the fat, and discovered that there are really only 3 components you need in order to make money online and build your home business. They are a Capture Page, Sales Page, and an Email Autoresponder. This is really your online marketing campaign. It works like this:
- The prospect see’s an ad which takes them to the capture page. You can also use the capture page as an ad.
- They’re intrigued and want to know more, so they opt in with their name and/or email address. They are now taken to a sales page. Some will buy on the spot, while others won’t and need more info.
- Right when the prospect opts in, the sets off the email autoresponder. This tool will send your prospect emails on the product, services, or business opportunity for the next couple of weeks, or however long you set it up.
Let’s go into more detail about each Tool
Capture Page 
The primary purpose for your capture is to GET YOUR PROSPECTS INFORMATION!
That’s It!
No selling or talking about your business, products or services. People don’t like to be sold to, they like to be intrigued. Besides, I tried it as well as many people I know, and it really doesn’t work well at all.
So what do you put on the capture?
Well you can hint to them what they can achieve if they leave their information or you can ask a question about their current situation. You can also do both. As long as you’re capturing the information of those that want to know more then you have a legit capture page.
Sales Page
How many of you really like going to hotel meetings, or throwing a PBR at your house to sell your friends and family into your business opportunity or get them to buy your products/services?
There are some of you that love doing this, but there’s others of us that rather be doing something else. This is where the rest of us can take advantage of the Sales Page.
Just imagine being able to sell something, using all the sales psychology to get your audience moving and taking action without you being physically there. To top it off, you only have to set it up once and use the same sales page over and over and over again.
How cool is that?
To top it off, only people who are really interested in your offer will be interested in what you’re selling right? Well you already attracted those people with your capture page. No more having to chase people in the malls or family and friends, right?
The more traffic you get via your capture, the more people who will see your sales page, and the more sales you will get. All done on auto-pilot!
Email Autoresponder 
Remember bugging your friends and family in order to get them to respond to your offer. If they already didn’t show any interest in what you’re offering, then why keep bugging them right?
If you’re going to follow up with people, why not follow up with people that are looking? Sometimes interested prospects don’t buy at first sight because they want to “marinate” on it. While they are marinating, why not send them some useful, valuable information for the next couple of weeks?
This is where you’re email autoresponder comes into play. You would use this to follow up with your targeted, interested people. You would use a software like AWeber to set up your messages. Also some Online Marketing Systems already have messages for you to set up and you can import them into your email autoresponder.
When it comes to follow up messages, on average, it’ll take about 7 emails or exposures before your prospects makes a sound decision for themselves. Using the email autoresponder is great for building rapport/relationships and a great reputation. They will more likely to buy from you when these two components are built.
What Do You Do About Traffic? 
Does this sound easy so far? If you don’t think so, it really actually is!
I thought it was difficult to do at first, and all the noise I saw on the internet didn’t help either. But when push come to shove, I took action and found out how easy it was. So you can definitely do it! Anybody can!
Now how do I get traffic ? There’s two ways. Through Free Advertisement and Paid Advertisement. Through Paid, it’s much quicker. Almost instantly. There are so many different paid strategies you can use. I use the Newspaper, Paid Per Click, and Solo Ads. That’s just a mere 3 tools which are actually easy to set up. There are so many different strategies out there, that you use them all, then it’s inevitable for you to become successful. With just these three I mentioned you can see great results in a short time.
But what if you don’t have a lot of money to invest in? This is where Free Advertisement comes into play. You can put links on social media sites, but from my experience, it has to be link giving value, like training or webinar in order for you to get opt ins.
Also I blog, and I blog a lot! Not that you have to, but it’s great because as I write each blog, I’m re-teaching myself to make sure I know the information as well as sharing what I learned.
I also want you to keep in mind that you don’t have to have a big list of leads to start making sales. If everything is set up right and attractive, you can start making sales in a short amount of time. When I say short, I mean within a month’s time or even less.

Sherman, you are exactly right building an online business & making money online is a simple process once you get the basics down.
We as people tend to make it hard because we usually start out not really understanding the basics of what it takes, therefore we usually end up running around like chickens with our heads cut off because we have no direction of what were doing, where we’re going with it or how we’re going to get there.
This is the #1 reason that before you even get started you need to create a Vision for YOU & Your Business so you’ll know exactly where you’re going & how you’re going to get there.
I’m adding this into Just Re-tweet for it to be re-tweeted to others!
Yes people really need to know this. It really is a simple process and many people really need to have a vision for themselves and their business before they really get to going. Thanks for your opinion!
