I get asked this all of the time. People know that I love to outsource certain things and that I've made money in a ton of different ways, with a bunch of different strategies.
The truth is that it's more than likely different for most people. I will give you an answer at the end of this article, but lets examine this closer.
I know that a lot of us are in different niche markets and market to these different niche markets in vast array of different ways. It could be one, just one investment that really gives you that break through.
It might be that investment in a professional copywriter that really give you a great conversion rate and really gets you rolling. Well, maybe it's that investment in hiring a virtual assistant that frees up that precious time and you can use that precious and really put it to use to make a killing.
It might be that $20 that you slap down to launch a Warrior Special Offer or WSO. I've made thousands from one WSO before, so that is a pretty dang good return of investment or ROI.
I'll give you another possibility. What about pay-per click advertising. I haven't touched on that yet. Some pay-per click campaigns can make you a fortune online, if they're done correctly.
What about that brilliant ghostwriter that you hired that wrote you that great e-book, that really got you to the next level? What about that PLR membership site that you joined that got you all this wonderful content that you can use to build and maintain your online business?
Let me get into my truthful opinion. I think that it's the $20 a month that you spend on your Aweber auto responder service. They are the best service that I've ever come upon.
I did have a different service before them and it was a disaster. They had a glitch and lost my whole list. After that, I said that I was going to invest in the best service out there. I started to use Aweber and they're the best in my estimation. I have many different lists in many different niche markets and I
love their service.
Having a mailing list is about as valuable as they get. When you have a list and a great auto responder service. You can get a Return on Investment, you wouldn't believe.

Internet Marketing Business Plan
If you want to be an Internet Marketer, you need to have a business plan and plan out your business. I see so many marketers running around to a new strategy, then a new one, then a new one, without ever making any money.
They don't have a plan! If you don't have a plan and a good idea what you want out of your business, there is no way that you're going to make it.
You always have to have the end in mind when you begin. Everyone is in different situations and everyone wants different things out of their online business.
You have to have a plan for how long you want to work before retirement and you have to have a plan to get there. Some people are just doing Internet Marketing in their spare time, they should still have a plan and know what they want to get out of Internet Marketing.
Once you know what you want out of Internet Marketing, you have to figure out how you're going to make it happen. The first thing that you need to do is locate your strengths when it comes to online skills.
Once you have identified your strengths, you need to find out how you can best put these skills into use. Once you have decided how you're going to put your skills to use, it's time to decide on a time-frame.
You have to first decide how much time that you can devote each day. You have to be able to decide how many days a week that you will be able to devote to your online business.
Once you have started your plan and have started to make money online, with your plan. You need to find out what areas your time is best spent. What activities are most profitable for you?
Once you weed out what doesn't require your effort as much as the other activities, you can throw more of your efforts behind the more profitable activities. Once you have worked out a formula, you can start to estimate how much money you will make a day, a week, a month and a year.
It's all about organization. You should always be looking for new opportunities and new ways to improve your online business. No one is going to do it for you, so get started!

Internet Marketing Success Formula
Effort, one word, but can separate you from everyone else. It's a key to online success and a key to taking your online business to the next level!
The other ingredient that you have to have for this formula is having good information. It doesn't matter how much effort you put into your online business if you're acting on bad information.
The question is what is good information and what is bad information?
Good information is information that a lot of other people are acting on and have success with. Bad information is information that is un-tested or information that only a small fraction of people have success with.
I see this all of the time in the Internet Marketing world. A person gets bad information for making money online, acts on it and doesn't get the desired results and its game over for them and their online business.
Look at Internet Marketing gurus. Do you think that they didn't work very hard? Wrong. They put in a lot of work, they experimented and they found what works the best for them and they threw a tremendous amount of effort into that information.
I know some gurus that work harder than most people. Some of them tell me that that they work 12 hour days.
I think that people think that there are these hidden strategies that only a few people know and they are rich because of it. Look, a lot of people have great information to act on.
The problem is that a lot of people just aren't acting on it and taking action. If they do take action on it, they might try it for a day or so and then just give up and move on to something else without really committing to the information and committing to the strategy and not giving it everything that they have got.
If you aren't going to fully commit to something and really put some real work into it, you're really in the wrong business. It isn't just putting up a paypal button and watching the money roll in, it takes some real work. It takes a real passion and a desire for success. Let me tell you it's really worth the effort and worth every bit of the work.
Just remember that it's worth working for. Internet Marketing is a brilliant profession to have. No boss, no schedule, you can make an unlimited amount of money, don't have to leave home, among other things.
