It has been a fact of my online business life since getting started online, that certain actions produce positive results.

That may not be the most profound statement ever made, but it seems to be a concept that is lost on many people.

After getting your site online(This should be your first step, by the way), you need to drive some traffic to that site. A site without traffic is like a bar with no beer – useless!

So, if you aren’t getting enough web traffic to your site then you need to discover ‘why not?’.

If you have installed Google Analytics on your site then you should have a good idea of where your traffic is coming from.

If you haven’t installed tracking on your site then you are missing a fundamental aspect of doing business online. Google Analytics won’t cost you a dime and is very simple to implement so get that on your main page(at least) today.

Once you discover where your traffic is originating then it’s likely you will know what action led to those results. For instance if you look in your tracking logs and find that an article you wrote has sent you 20 visitors this week, then you can mark this action down as a positive action. It isn’t rocket science, is it?

If after blogging for a couple of weeks you find that your traffic has increased by 20% then blogging can be chalked up as a working tactic that is going to bring you more traffic and sales.

POSITIVE ACTION IS THE KEY!

Continuing on a daily basis to take little steps to move your business forward, will eventually lead to a successful and profitable Internet business. You CAN do this! You just need to commit time to taking certain steps on a consistent basis.

Here are a few things you can do on a daily basis to grow your business over time:

1. Make a blog post.

2. Comment on other blogs in your niche.

3. Write and submit an article to the article databases.

4. Answer emails from prospects.

5. Write some ads for your Free traffic exchange surfing PLUS surf the exchanges to build up your credits.

The above list is just a few of many tasks that you can do daily to progress towards your eventual goal of earning a full-time income online.

Where most people fail online is that they don’t do enough of what works, for long enough. Or worse still they don’t ever discover what works and what doesn’t.

It’s amazing the amount of newcomers and even so called ‘pros’ that will pay money for an ad campaign and not track the results.

So, here’s my Internet marketing equation for today:

If Discovered Positive Action x 10 = 1 Sale – Then Discovered Positive Action x 100 = 10 Sales

Now get out there and get more work done. I think I’ll take some of my own advice and do some work – just a little – today too.

I started back in 1999. I bought my first PC in 1998. That cost me over $2000, and took up much of the space in our small kitchen house. It only had 3.2 GB hard drive. You could likely fit that much space on a postage stamp today:-)

Around a few months after setting up online, I remember wondering if it would be possible to actually make money on the net. After all, the market was huge. There were millions of people online. There had to be ways to make a living a living from this relatively new phenomena. The idea had ever occurred to me before that.

I can’t remember the exact search terms I used, but I think I typed the words “Make Money from the Internet” into Yahoo(Google hadn’t even been conceived) and came up with some results.

I couldn’t believe it! There were actually people claiming to be making a fortune from there own Internet based businesses. The first program I ever joined was a ‘Get Paid for Clicks’ program called “All Advantage”. I think the sum total of my earnings for that was around 56 cents

Then the BIG one came, I joined a program called Smallbizffa and made my first sale by spamming the Yahoo classifieds . The first sale netted me $8. I basically went through the listings of all those who had posted an ad and emailed them with my opportunity. OK, before you start building the scaffold, I didn’t know any better and hadn’t even heard or read the word ‘Spam’ at that stage.

This was a ‘BIG’ moment because once I had made some dollars, it wasn’t a big stretch of the imagination to realize that if I could do it once I could do it over and over again. $8 wasn’t much less than what I was being paid per hour in my day job, and here I was earning it for posting a few emails.

The first check I ever received was for $25 – or maybe it was $28 – from Clickbank. At that point I was absolutely hooked. You will be too, once you receive that first check. When that first payment reached my bank account, the ‘idea’ to make money from home had actually become a reality. There was no going back!

One of the first things I did was set up my own domain and website, Freeadvertz.com. Put ‘www.freeadvertz.com’ into this domain age tool and you’ll find that this site is 8yrs and 11 months old: Domain Age Tool

I had originally intended to promote free advertising methods from this site. My way of doing this, which unsurprisingly wasn’t very successful, was to slap a load of banners and text ads on a page and send traffic to it. I still see people doing that today. I did work then and it certainly won’t work today!

I then proceeded to spend $100s trying to capitalise on my earnings and didn’t really get anywhere, fast. Does that sound familiar?

My first big break came when I joined Stone Evans’ Plug in Profit Site. I was AMAZED at the concept of this program and in the first weeks actually emailed Stone begging him to let me copy his system. He politely refused! . Here was a way to actually promote ONE website and build 5 or 6 income streams.

From that point on, I began to promote the Plugin Program as an affiliate. That is when I started to earn some real good money, and it was residual too. I would get paid month after month, for a one time effort. Wow!

Stone made me a moderator at his Plug In Profits forum, not long after starting his program. I moved from strength to strength. I learnt more in a few months from Stone than I had learnt in years previous to that point, not directly but by following the example set by him and some other successful Internet marketers.

Since then I have left my offline job as a hospital clerk and now work full-time from home. I’ve also added quite a few income streams to my monthly earnings. Some only bring in a few dollars per month, but they all add up to a nice earner;-).

It took me around five years in all to get to that stage, mainly because I was running from pillar to post, without any sensible direction.

Today, I am able to help others avoid making the mistakes I made. Starting up a home based business is doable when you are given the proper guidance. If you go it alone then you are likely to be overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. It’s much worse now than ever. Each new program promising to be the ONE.

Every penny I have ever earned to date, began with taking that first step.
