A lot of people wants to make money online, or through internet marketing. And most, if not all, will start looking for the fastest, easiest way to want to make money.

I’m also one of them, and I realize that’s only makes me going round and round with no destination…

Until, one day, I decided to STOP all that I’m doing and start setting up a purpose, a strategy and plan to it.

After that day, I’m a lot more focus, and able to get things done, most importantly, I’m starting to make money online, through the use of internet marketing.

Let’s go back to the objective of our example:

“I want to start making US$300 per month from the internet, using only 2 hours per day of my time, and I will do it in 6 months time, by 21th Nov 2008 ”

And our strategy that we have decided:

Create a landing page, drive traffic, capture leads and being an affiliate

So, how do we create our marketing plan today?

It’s really simple!

Now that you know where you want to go, how you are going to achieve it…

So, the next step is just to plan and map out on a daily basic how to reach the destination

We have a total of 6 months to reach our destination.

Let’s do a end of month plan first, this is how it will look like:

21st Nov 2008 - Achieve US$300 in that month
21th Oct 2008 - Achieve US$180 in that month
21th Sep 2008 - Achieve first US$50 in that month
21th Aug 2008 - Total 5 traffic, a total of 300 subscribers, and 80 unique visitors/day
21th Jul 2008 - Total of 3 traffic strategies, 100 subscribers, and 40 unique visitors/day
21th Jun 2008 - Market research, setup, apply 2 traffic strategies, 20 subscribers.

With that, you can adjust your monthly plan accordingly. So, all you need is to define what are the results you looking for that month?

Today is 4th June 2008. From today till 21th June, we have a total of 17 days. Based on a 2 hours work rate per day, now, map out what you want to achieve on a daily basic.

21th Jun 2008 - Achieve 20 subscribers
20th Jun 2008 - Continue traffic
19th Jun 2008 - Continue traffic
18th Jun 2008 - Get 10 subscribers , celebrate, continue traffic

7th June 2008 - Decide on Market

5th June 2008 - Keywords Research
4th June 2008 - Market Research

Now with a daily plan, did you think you can follow the 2 hours plan per day, and focus and get it to work?

That’s really depends on individual!

And this itself will separate whether are you going to make money like the 20% or are you going to give up, or not make any money like the 80%?

Is this is foolproof plan? Of course NOT!

There’s no foolproof plan. As much as I can plan to even the minutes and seconds on a daily basic, there’s always disruption, things not working, meeting with obstacles and challenges.

And that’s also up to individuals to overcome all those, and emerge to be the money makers.

I get a lot of emails recently asking me what’s the best way to market? How do I start? Is it easy to make money online?

I always replied with my best positive and encouraging answers. I know it’s easy and simple!

In fact, to me, to start an internet business is so much easier than working for someone else.

But, it’s the human, or rather individual, that makes it difficult.

Do you agree?

Let me hear your comments.

To Your Success,
