People all over the world are always looking for ways to earn money online, but few ever make it. The real side of this is that there really are no short cuts to success and one has to work diligently to be successful online.

A simplistic way of looking at the successful plan for internet marketing is to create rich content for your website or blog, which will attract huge traffic from subscribers who will find your content useful. Good content sites bring you a lot of traffic and your list of subscribers grows because your information is useful to them and over time you earn their trust. Great content builds great subscriber lists that will earn you massive passive income online.

A great way to start your internet business is through affiliate marketing. What affiliate marketing means is simply that as an affiliate you are selling other people’s products and in return you are paid a potentially high commission of up to 75%. And, the easiest products to sell online are digital products, basically information products. Selling digital products means instant delivery and faster commissions.

There are many digital products to promote as an affiliate marketer, however you need to be very careful about BIG promises and hype or BS. To be successful online, you will need to work through several steps outlined below.

The first thing you need to do is find a mentor coach who can give you the step-by-step blueprint for online success. For your information, the new wave of the future in internet marketing is video tutorials, which will complement e-books that can be somewhat tedious to read. In fact, the real problem with e-books is that they are trying to explain something that should be proven.

With videos, you can explain anything on a computer exactly what you’re doing, where you’re clicking, what to type, what the screen will look like, and what the results are.

I personally have two mentors who have influenced me on the path to online success. Travis Sago, creator of the BUM Marketing Method, and Dave Bocock, author of the 4-Day Money Making Blueprint, leverage powerful video tutorials very effectively. His is a winning success formula that guides the newcomer on how to truly succeed online without all the hype and scam.

With the right formula or system of learn and earn marketing, you really improve your learning curve and start making money in your online business.
