Internet Marketing - Which Program Is The Best For You?

If you were to believe all the different offers on "How to Make A Million with Internet Marketing", all you had to do was open up your computer, turn it on, and instantly a river of money would flow into your bank account.
Of course, it doesn't work that way.
But each one does contain a grain of truth.
Long before you see that million in your bank account, you really need to review each offer and make sure that it meets the following criteria: With all of that being said, here are the Top Ten Ways to Evaluate Internet and Niche Marketing Opportunities.
  1. Does it match your lifestyle? Can you promote adult sites? How about multi-level marketing? Don't waste your time and money working with sites that do not match your lifestyle.
    You will not like your work, and you will not make the money you deserve.
  2. Do you have the time? Can you work it for 5 hours a week? 10? How about 40? Make sure you have the time to devote to the marking.
    No matter what they tell you, it does take a lot of time to get started.
  3. Do you have the talent? Do you like to write? Are you good with computers? How about HTML, or web servers? Some programs need these talents, others don't.
    Make sure you can actually do the job (or out-source those parts you can't).
  4. What are your passions? Will you be happy promoting music programs if your passion is sports? Or will that just bore you to tears? The more passion you have about your marketing program, the more you will be willing to work with it - and the more you will be willing to work it right.
  5. How are your social skills? Internet Marketing is not the work alone in front of the computer job that many programs would have you to believe.
    The fact is, most jobs require interaction with other people - it's just that in this business, you do indeed spend most of your time in front of a computer, so social interaction is not as much there as it would be at an office job.
    But interacting with other like minded people is a must in this business, so social skills are important.
  6. What about networking Skills? Right along side the social skills are the networking skills.
    These skills help to get your business running quicker and better.
    How? If during your "social" time, you learn that Person A can help with writing articles, and you can help that person with, say, HTML, then bingo! You have two skills that can be bartered and help each business.
    Networking is very important to Internet Marketing and Niche Marketing.
  7. Don't forget organizational skills.
    If you don't have good organizational skills, you really, really, really need to take courses, buy books, or get people to teach you how to be organized.
    It's very possible that you will be managing 100+ websites, and if you are not organized, you will have lots of problems, and miss lots of opportunities.
  8. How are your time management skills? Next to organization skills, time management is a must.
    If you're not good at it, learn it now.
    Plan your day.
    Lay it out in front of you - and STICK WITH IT! Once you get in the habit of good time management, your income will skyrocket.
  9. Do you have the money? Some programs will take money.
    For example, although I use a lot of free web resources, I still have to pay for my web hosting and my domain names.
    You need to look carefully at what the program will cost you over the next year and determine if you can afford that.
    By the way, here's a tip: Allocate the funds as if you will not make any money whatsoever from your efforts.
    If you can't do it, then seriously think before you jump in.
  10. The ability to have fun.
    If you enjoy your job, you will do well at it.
    So try to pick a marketing program that you will enjoy working.
    In some ways, this might be the most important step.
There are thousands of programs out there, and many of them sound good, but for you, will not be.
The time you spend now evaluating the offers will reward you in the future.
