Dear Internet friend,

Yes, you really can make money online.And I’m so sure of it - I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.
But first, let me share a story with you…When my friend Camile was nine, she wanted to bake a cake to surprise her parents.

She went into the kitchen and starting mixing together flour, sugar, chocolate chips, ice cream and starting mixing together flour, sugar and just about anything else she could find that looked good.You can probably imagine how it turned out. It wasn’t a pretty sight. Carolyn ended up with a big mess and something (she couldn’t even call it a cake) that tasted absolutely horrible.Now today, if she’s baking a cake - she’ll start with a recipe.

Carolyn explained to me how she measures out all the ingredients and follows the exact instructions on the recipe. Now her cakes turn out pretty good and she even gets a couple of compliments.

Okay, but what does any of this have to do with Internet marketing?
Actually lots!You see, making money online without a proven plan is a lot like trying to bake a cake without a recipe…you’ll only end up making lots of mistakes, a big mess and wasting a bunch of money.

Seems pretty easy, right? But the truth is, I’ve found more people confused, perplexed, puzzled and just plain baffled about Internet marketing. And who wouldn’t be?

There are more self-proclaimed gurus and ‘wannabe’ gurus out there than you can shake a stick at.The problem is who can you believe online?Everyone’s running around telling you they have the “secrets” to Internet marketing and making money online. There are so many hyped-up "get rich quick" schemes floating around the Internet -- it drives me crazy!

I say, “Show me the proof!” Let me see what you are selling on the Internet that isn't "how to get rich quick on the Internet". (Isn’t there something wrong with that picture?)I don't think you could find many takers there.

Our #1 Suggestion For 2008

Everybody has been taught to think the harder you work the more money you make.

What if that's completely wrong? What if it's the smarter the work, the more money you make?

Three Inner Secrets of Internet Success

How to go from a standing start to banking mega profits?

To do that, what I think you really need are these inner secrets to mega internet success. This has nothing to do with search engines, pay-per-clicks.

It doesn't have anything to do with any of the tactical stuff. It's all a lot of stuff that goes on in your head.

*Secret #1: Cheerful Expectancy *

It comes from having knowledge. And you get that knowledge from studying in your field whatever it is. It could be Internet marketing or it could be neurology. That means reading, studying and buying everything and absolutely immersing yourself in it.

*Secret #2: Do one proactive thing a day *
You don't need to do 100 things a day. Just get that one proactive thing a day. So each little brick builds a big wall for you. Trust me it's easy to be overwhelmed with hundreds of tasks. You're like, "Oh, we need to do e-zine ads and free-for-alls and pay-per-click search engines, and I need to do all this other stuff." Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

But just relax and do one task a day.

Your action will create more and more and more action for you. You simply need to make a commitment to do one proactive thing a day no matter what. Even if you're dead tired and worked a 14-hour day - come home and mail one letter or send out one joint venture proposal. I'm telling you - just these little tiny proactive things will have an immense impact.
