You have to be careful if you are a newbie…
This is not the advice of an internet guru of course, but the advice of a psychologist who decided to open your eyes and protect you, after being online for two and a half years, facing all the dangers of the internet and discovering all the lies of the marketers.
If you know nothing about html like me, and if you depend on other people to work for you, you have to be more than cautious, and always pay in escrow when you use sites like www.elance.com. Now they give you this option first of all, while when I first started there I couldn’t find it…
If you want to make a website in order to sell something, don’t try to make it yourself, because your site must be very well prepared in order to have a good ranking.
This is not only a question of appearance and the necessity to be professional: this is a matter of the basic fundamentals of your website.
If you are a newbie and you know nothing about the internet world, you may believe that you can easily make a website yourself and sell your own ebooks there for example, simply because your products are good.
The world will never find your website. You will be in a desert if you don’t have the right keywords in your home page, if your site is not search-engine friendly and a lot more. Don’t believe the marketers that tell you that it is very simple to make a website and start selling. Be careful!
You need safety in order to sell your products without being robbed first of all. And don’t try to sell anything directly from your website, accepting credit cards that you can’t verify. Sell the products on your website only through PayPal or Clickbank, because these companies guarantee you that you will really receive your money when someone decides to purchase your products.
There are very many tricks online and you may become a victim of them if you accept credit cards directly in your website, without the professional help of PayPal or Clickbank.
First of all, learn what is happening on the internet as an affiliate. Don’t create your own products before seeing how you can sell a product on the internet, even though most marketers encourage you to write your own ebooks and sell them to build your business, as if everyone would simply trust you and buy your ebooks, among so many others that seem to be much better than yours, because they have a better ecover and an entire marketing campaign far superior than yours.
Who are you, if you are beginning now?
The marketers don’t tell you how bad it is in the beginning. They push you to try doing what they want you to, without revealing to you all the dangers and the deceptions you have to face.
Only when you are already in the dance, will you see all the real difficulties you’ll have everyday in order to send visitors to your site, while in the beginning, before “phishing” you, all marketers promise you easy money, help from many affiliates, and many other things that don’t work in practice if you are a nobody on the internet and if nobody trusts your products.
You need to be trusted and you need traffic if you want to have your own business. Traffic is everything on the internet, because without visitors, there are no sales…
But how can you get all the visitors you need if you have to pay a fortune only for a single click, if you want to be on the first page of Google?
You have to use many methods to drive traffic to your site…
In this blog I’m talking about my own experiences, and trying to help you save your mental health, your money and your reputation, because it is much easier to lose a lot of money on the internet than to make a lot of money, independently of what you keep reading everywhere.
You can make good money, but you have to learn which methods really work and which are only fantasies, and especially, how to protect yourself from very serious failure on the internet, instead of solving all your financial problems as you had dreamed of.
As a psychologist I care for your mental health more than anything else, and if you lose all your money, of course you won’t be able to be a balanced and happy person…
The big illusion of making a lot of money very easily on the internet is too dangerous! The internet is not a game, it is real life, and you have to pay real money to make things work.
Learn how to avoid all the dangers with prudence!
You certainly can succeed if you are intelligent and serious in what you do. Pay attention to the smart solutions you’ll find, and don’t follow too many “opportunities” at the same time.
Be selective and study only what the good authors teach you, the ones that really give you useful information, without paying attention to those that promise you billions and luxury on auto-pilot, “while you are sleeping”. Before receiving the buyers’ visit and finally convincing them to buy from you what they want, you will have to spend many nights awake, looking for traffic and conversion solutions, because you have also to convert all your visitors into customers, besides sending them to your site.
Criticize all marketers; don’t simply believe their words. They are trying to sell… they want to convince you to do what they want without caring about your personal problems.
Only if you are cautious and intelligent, will you make billions and help many other people in this world with your generosity!
On the other hand, don’t become a statue that never does anything and never tries anything for being too afraid, because you will never learn anything this way.
You must really take action if you want to learn how the internet works, and I mean that you have to really start trying to sell something on the internet (begin at www.ebay.com like everyone else) if you want to understand the truth.
By only reading what the marketers say, you don’t really learn anything. You have to see how hard it is to sell something without a list, and even having a huge email list, because it is not easy to convince someone to buy what you sell, if you want to have real knowledge about how the internet works.
Everything is easy only if you are very cautious and very well organized.
You have to have the right products, the ones that people want to buy, and not the ones that you want to sell. Find several different small niches on the internet and provide exactly what they are looking for, if you want to make money. They won’t buy whatever you may desire to sell them, no matter how hard you may try to convince them to.
Don’t believe the marketers that tell you that you can sell “anything” on the internet and that you can even write an ebook about your hobby and make a lot of money with it, because there are so many users on the internet that of course some people among them will care about what you sell, because you’ll have many difficulties even trying to sell them what they really want.
Before creating your products, look for what people care about typing your main keywords at sites that give you information about what people are looking for in the search engines and verify if there is real interest on what you intend to sell. Verify also how much competition you have to face.

And don’t forget that you have to care very much about how you’ll build your website. If your website looks like a circus, or if it has no safety at all and if the search engines cannot find it under all the other sites, you have no chance to succeed.
Your site is your business card, your house, your everything on the internet. Care about making it the best and pay attention to every detail, because when you are in the market trying to sell your products, you won’t have time to care about these details, and your fight trying to get traffic to your site will be worse if you don’t have the right web presence.
Succeed with wisdom!
