When I first started in the internet world, I came across thousands of senseless products, ebooks and services which promised me $1000 a day in "less than 24 hours!". As it turned out, I lost 40 times the money I made and started thinking that internet marketing is just a huge scam.
But now, after spending a lot of time trying out various methods, I can personally tell you that internet marketing is very lucrative. But you have to know what you are doing.
The bad part: Most people get pulled in by over-hyped products, spend thousands of dollars on things which do not work and then quit.
It seems that everyone out there is looking for that one secret to online marketing which will make them millions. I want to tell you that there is no such secret. If there ever way, you would not get to know it in a $47 e-book or a $1,997 course.
Think about it, if someone actually did make $1,000 per day using a "secret technique", do you think they will sell you that technique for $47? Although there are some internet marketing e-books which provide you valuable information, dont mistake them for secrets other people do not know.
That being said, what exactly is the secret to online marketing?
It is consistency.
Try to be consistent in whatever you choose to do. If you want to do article marketing, be consistent with it and at least try it for 3-4 months. As for SEO, you should know that you need at least 2-6 months to see any measurable results.
