(Newswire.Net — April 29, 2013) Minneapolis, MN — 12-Year-Old Tells Cheering Conference Audience How To Make Money Online Blogging
The crowd cheered when a 12-year-old boy from Holland by the name of Gesse revealed that he had made $12,000 in his first four months of blogging. Gesse had been asked to come onstage to share his experience at a national conference sponsored by the Empower Network.
How did he do it? How did he make the money?
Gesse said that he generated traffic to his site by blogging and by posting on Facebook. On his site he offered an affiliate product that teaches online marketing. The sales funnel for the affiliate product had already been set up by the blogging network. So all he had to do was get people interested and get them to watch a video on his site.
Gesse said that he had a little bit of technical help from his father, but that he did all of the blogging and Facebook posting. He goes to school like other kids and says that his dad makes sure that he does his homework before he can do any blogging. He is in school 6-7 hours a day, 5 days a week and has about 2 hours of homework daily. That gives him about 1-2 hours a day to blog for his business. He says that he spends 10 hours a week max.
Since he started blogging four months ago he has made $12,000 from his sales of affiliate products. He said that his best month was over $5000.
An opportunity for the other 99% to create wealth?
In these trying financial times many people see the internet as a way to rise above financial stresses and strains. Many people correctly sense that the internet is a place where one can make money. Consequently, more and more people are trying to learn how to make money online. But the sad truth is that most people who try to make money online quit. An estimated 95% of those who attempt to make money online quit in frustration.
At the same time there are those who have made millions online in relatively short time periods.
The obvious question then, is “Why do a select few make it rich online while so many people fail and quit in frustration?”
Most people approach online business with unrealistic expectations.
Achieving success online requires a broad set of skills. Most aspiring internet marketers are naïve about this. Many internet marketers start out thinking that if they “build it, they [customers] will come”. Not true. And even if they do come, it doesn’t mean they are going to buy anthing.
Most aspiring internet marketers don’t realize that online success requires setting up an entire system. Online your store is your website. Your website must be engaging for visitors so that they stay long enough to see what you have to offer. Next, the products you have for sale must be in demand. Not only that, they must be presented in a way that is not a turn off and that successfully communicates the benefits of the product. Finally, they need to be priced attractively. Get any of the above wrong and you don’t make money. In a sense selling products online is less forgiving than selling retail. In the online world a potential customer can react to something and be gone in less than a second with the click of a mouse.
How then did Gesse, a 12 year old boy, make $12,000 in four months?
Gesse just plugged into a pre-made system that works. That is the solution for so many people who are struggling to make money online. Don’t try to re-invent the wheel. Find an affiliate sales system that is already working for others and get on board.
