During the last year I’ve looked at many different ways of making a living online and the biggest problem as usual is the sheer amount of information you have to wade through to make sense of it all.
If you read enough though you find recurring patterns and ideas that all successful marketers use. These will form the basis for my Alpha Project 2009 which I intend to run for 12 months, see how it works out and review it as I complete each phase.
One thing I had looked at was Affiliate Marketing which is where many Newbies start, because on the surface it is the easiest route to take. There is one problem though. It is regularly stated that 95% of affiliates fail in their first year. Why is that? I think I know the answer but I’m going to look at that in more detail next year.
The other question that constantly crops up at this time is how is the economic situation going to change Internet Marketing over the next few years. The “guru” opinion is that it will get better because more people will be looking to make money on the Internet. BUT they would say that wouldn’t they.
I don’t think anybody knows the answer to that at this time so you just have to get on and do it and find out for yourself. In 12 months time I will definitely know where my Alpha Project stands!
