The Secret Of Internet Wealth Revealed - Part 2

Ok, I promised to reveal one of the biggest ‘secrets’ of Internet wealth and here it is:

The people selling the ‘secrets’ of making money online are making money online by selling the ‘secrets’ of making money online.

There it is… I have revealed one of the biggest ‘secrets’ of Internet Marketing. If you don’t quite get that statement then read it again until you do because it is obvious from various Internet Marketing forums I have visited that there are many who don’t.

Internet Marketing is simply Direct Marketing using the Internet, and Direct Marketing has always had its share of get rich quick schemes. It is crucial to understand some of the methods of direct marketing in order to fully grasp the implications of this. So let’s have a look at one of the most famous examples of Direct Marketing…

One of the greatest (if not the greatest) success stories of Direct Marketing is a book called “The Lazy Man’s Way To Riches” by Joe Karbo. This was a self published title and was never sold from a book shop. Instead it was bought mail order via some very persuasive advertisements in newspapers and magazines. What the book contains are some motivational techniques and an explanation of copywriting and Direct Response selling. Basically, the book describes the ‘secrets’ of selling (a book perhaps?) using Direct Response marketing techniques. Sound familiar?


Now there are a lot of things you will need to learn if you wish to emulate this type of formula, and then you will have to work at it to create any kind of success. Plus of course, if you wish to maintain any credibility you should first have achieved some success before you attempt to tell others how to do it. So it is apparent that there is no ‘lazy’ way to riches and no instant wealth formula despite what some may claim.
