So you want to make money with an internet business. You've searched the web, looking for that perfect product. You've heard the rumors-you can earn a fortune on the internet, without spending a penny, and without lifting a finger. For those of you, I got some good news and some bad news. The good news is, you can earn a fortune. The bad news is, it’s not easy. In fact, in the beginning it can be downright gruesome! You'll spend long hours optimizing your site, reading manuals, and just plain picking your way through the world wide web. (It’s called that for a reason). There is nobody out there, despite the outrageous claims, that have earned a fortune without spending a dime and without lifting a finger! I got some more news for you-you're not going to be the first!

You see, the internet, like life in general, rewards the diligent. If you study hard, apply yourself, and get to work, you can and likely will make a killing with your web business. I'm just warning you in advance-it’s not going to be easy. This information is not for the faint of heart. Most on the road to internet riches fall by the wayside within the first few months, if not earlier. They get lost in a sea of information. Where should they start? What should they market? Where should they advertise? What kind of website do they need? The list goes on and on and on.

Now, I'm not going to cover everything here (I wouldn't be able to if I had a thousand pages!) but I will give you the most important pieces of information you'll ever here in internet business. It took me hundreds of eBooks and pages and pages of information before I found this out, so this will save you some serious time on your learning curve. There are two keys to making money on the internet.

Key #1) The money is in the email list. Quite simply, your income is generally as big as your opt in email list. You see, most websites don't have a place to capture their visitors names and emails. This is HUGE! Think about it. If you are selling a high ticket item (which I highly recommend) for say, $1,000 or more, and you had an opt in list of 10,000 people, even if only 100 ended up signing up (1%) you'd still make some SERIOUS CASH. The list is huge-it is the difference between success and failure on the internet. And yet, so few marketers understand the importance of this! They view success or failure based on whether a visitor buys the product or not. Well, studies have shown that it takes the average consumer about 7 or 8 exposures to you before they are ready to buy. Very, very few ever buy their first visit to your site, particularly with a high ticket item. If you have their name and email address, you can send them follow up emails. The more they see your name, the more likely they are to buy. So that’s key number one.

Key #2) If you want to generate a HUGE EMAIL LIST, then you MUST learn search engine optimization (SEO). This is the key to making money on the internet. You won’t have a list without this. Forget Google Adwords. It’s very expensive, and gets much less views than optimized sites. The marketers that are really making the big bucks are the ones with the top ranked websites, especially with the competitive keywords.

Unfortunately, the nitty gritty of getting your site highly ranked is WAY beyond the scope of this article. However, there are many great resources out there to show you the way to optimizing your site and skyrocketing your online business. Warning: this takes a lot of time and effort. Don't let anybody fool you. However, the rewards are ENORMOUS for those who stay the course. Just remember these two keys, and you’ll be WELL on your way to making it big on the internet!
