6 Things I Learned From The Current Recession

ByLuther M Wood

I am a senior citizen that was forced to, really, retire when the "bubble" burst in 2007 - 2008. The recession/depression that followed hit us very hard. Would you believe to the tune of losing everything?

It took my house rehabbing business but not my pride....

Not being one to sit around and mope I began to lick my wounds and started brainstorming for things I could do to earn some money. I had been interested in the phenomenon of the Internet for several years but not knowing much about it I didn't actually do anything with it. So having much more time than I had money I switched on my old computer and started browsing the Internet just to see what I could learn.

I learned that the Internet is an amazing thing/place/space.

I leaned about Affiliate Marketing and did a lot of research on the subject.

I learned (the hard way) that there are shysters posing as "gurus" selling snake oil to unsuspecting "newbies". I'm Sorry to say but I purchased my share of "oil".

I learned that Affiliate Marketing is the quickest and easiest way to make money on the Internet.

I learned it can be done with very little money, without being a techie or having a website.

I'm not one of those rich "gurus" by any stretch of the imagination but there is light at the end of the tunnel. It is spelled H-O-P-E. If you could use a little hope and would like to discover the quickest and easiest way to make money on the Internet, you might want to look into Affiliate Marketing. Don't let the marketing part scare you. What it boils down to is finding a product that a lot of people need and buy then tells everybody they know (and some you don't know) about it. When they buy that product using your affiliate ID then you earn a hefty commission; up to 75%. When you do that enough your bank account expands and so does you outlook.

I must contribute most of the knowledge that I have acquired to two very successful Gentleman that I met online. They graciously share their success with others.

So, what has the current recession taught me?

I have leaned, at least, six things.

(1) I have learned, anew, that when one door closes another door will open.

(2) That the new door opens from inside.

(3) I have to turn the knob and walk through the door.

(4) To always keep the faith.

(5) Remember where all good things come from and

(6) "This to Shall Pass."

Luther Wood is new at Internet Marketing but I have learned that the quickest and easiest way to make money online is with affiliate marketing. It requires little or no money, no website, no requirement to drive traffic and no list. You can use other people's list via solo advertising on ezines.

Affiliate Marketing: A Good Place To Start for Beginners

Affiliate Marketing is a great entry point for new starters into the internet information marketing world. You can run this from home, part-time, in your spare time. One of the main benefits is that you don't have to buy or create a product. The Merchant who owns the product you choose to promote will also supply you with plenty of free marketing tools. The start-up costs are minimal and inexpensive as all you will need to buy is an appropriate domain name and some web hosting. You will need a website, usually in the form of a blog, but don't panic as WordPress and Blogger are both free resources and are easy to set up. Now, those who know me will tell you I'm no technical expert but in my early marketing days I was able to follow the instructions, without asking for help, on both of the blog sites to put together my niche sites and I still use them today. When looking for a product to promote choose something that interests you or something you have knowledge of as th...

How To Set Up A Successful Pay-Per-Click Campaign

If you are familiar with Pay-Per-Click ads, then you know that these types of paid search marketing work by putting ads on the side bar of your search engine or web site and are used to bring people to your web site. The concept is pretty simple. You create an ad.You place a price upon its worth.And you submit it to a search engine. When someone clicks on that ad, you are charged a price for it and they end up on your web site. You only have to pay if someone clicks on it. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? But now for the tricky question. Are you getting your money's worth from these ads? Ninety-nine percent of the businesses that use this type of advertising do not understand it. They send people to their home page and don't even know why the person came there in the first place.
