The chances are really good that your probably not doing this
as a hobby. Sure you probably like internet marketing, but
your real goal is to get your internet business to the point where it can replace your salary so you can get on with building that business and or giving your self some more time.
People often ask me how long it took me to go from part-time to full-time…
It took me about 15 months from the time I got the idea till the time I had left my full-time pastor position at the church I was serving at. And just in case you did not catch that last part —- I was a pastor & not an MBA grad or some business dude. So I did not exactly have a lot of previous business experience.
But that is just me! Your time frame is going to be different and you can’t compare yours to mine and yours to others. If you do that, your going to get very frustrated and end up quitting.
Y0u have to realize that if you want to go from doing internet marketing part-time and get to the place where you replace your job income, you need to make sure you do what I am about to tell you. A lot of people are so focused on going full-time that they screw everything up and never actually make it to that level.
The Secret To Going Full-Time In Your Internet Business Is That You MUST Master ONE System Or Strategy & Stick With It Until Your Full-Time…
Here’s the problem most internet marketers have – they are doing multiple things at the exact same time and none of them are producing any results. Think about it for a second… How many “projects” do you have on the go right now? How many strategies are you trying to implement at the same time?
Its very common for someone who is in that part-time zone of their internet business to be using 4+ systems to try and get one of them to work so they can get some sort of livable income. Here’s the problem — Your DOOMED TO FAIL!
I see people all the time who are blogging, making money with Adsense, trying to create products, networking on forums, trying to run a network of automated blogs, doing niche research for new projects, link building for multiple sites, trying to make money with Amazon affiliate promotions & planning their next market to attack…
And the worst part is – they are doing ALL OF THESE THINGS at the same time! When you look at that list, you probably think it is insane and at the same time you probably feel guilty for doing those things too.
How smart would you think I was if I told you that I wanted to be a martial arts master and was going to take 5 different martial arts all at the same time and I only had evenings and weekends to make it happen? You’d think I was nuts! You can’t get your black belt in 5 different martial arts starting them all at the same time when you have a limited time to actually work on making it happen.
But that’s what most people are doing who are struggling with getting their internet businesses to the level that it can provide them a full-time income.
Here’s The Hidden Problem That’s Holding You Back:
Doing more makes you feel like you are on the right track and things are going to workout for you! We feel that if we can just take massive action, will be okay and the business will grow and make a lot of money. That’s a great idea but it is not realistic.
When you are starting out and are not quite yet making a lot of money, you need hope and you need security. And when you do a lot of things that look good, it gives you hope and makes you feel secure about your efforts and the future.
That’s why people buy so many products… It makes you feel like that if you can just implement this one secret that your going to learn – life is going to be okay.
And so the circle continues and you move from thing to thing to thing to thing. But you never get rid of the things that you moved on from & you keep adding more things and methods because each new one sounds better then the previous one!
Here’s How You Can Easily Fix This Problem And Get On Track:
You have to make sure you focus on becoming a master at one “proven” system and work it until you are able to make a full-time income out of it. If you can just focus and take massive action on mastering one thing or system – you can get really good at it and can make it work.
When I was starting out I was involved in doing the following ALL at the same time:
- Setting up a tech company that helped churches with their websites.
- Doing affiliate marketing in the Internet Marketing niche.
- Trying to do affiliate marketing in another mass market.
- Trying to sell web hosting in 2 big markets that were already saturated.
- Flogging an info product in a niche market that no one was buying.
- Creating and trying to implement a custom SEO software program.
- Going into multiple niche markets to sell info products.
- Direct mailing customers, doing PPC, banner ads, email list rentals, joint ventures, setting up
affiliates, being an affiliate, SEO, link building, exc…
You can probably imagine how well it worked out for me! But you know what? I learned my hard expensive lesson and I cut out all the stuff that was not working and focused. And once I started to focus on doing one thing and do it really well – things started to turn around and we made some great progress.
I was able to sell of the tech company, get rid of all my side projects and focus on mastering one thing. And that one thing was my “Snowball Traffic System”. I then focused on one niche market, got that one mastered and then I started rolling that exact system out in other niche markets.
But the key is – I focused on one system & one market. Then used that one system & one market to give me the leverage to go into about 14 other markets. But at that point the cash-flow funded everything else and I was not paying things out of pocket.
One of the biggest reasons most internet marketers have multiple projects on the go is because of the fact that they are worried that if project A does not work, they can still fall back on project B which is hopefully going to get them some results.
That is a great idea, but it does not work when you are starting out.
Here’s Why Having “Backup” Projects Will Keep You “Part-Time” Forever:
- Lack Of Skills: When your starting out your skills are just developing and you are not going to be good enough to master multiple systems.
- Lack Of Time: You usually don’t have a ton of time when your part time. So your going to have to split a small amount of time between each project and make small amounts of progress.
- Your Financial Situation: When you are starting out, your probably building your business out of your personal finances. That is fine – but its going to get pretty expensive if you have to fund 4 projects all at the same time from your personal bank account!
- Problems: When your starting out in a new system or trying new things, your going to have to deal with problems. And if all your ever doing is dealing with problem after problem – your going to burn out before you ever get anything going!
- Lack Of Help: Your all alone when your starting out and you can’t do everything by yourself.
So find one proven system or process that you like and start rolling it out. Focus on it, master it and use that to give you the leverage to go into more markets and try new strategies.
Sure you’ll have some bumps on the road, but the bottom line is that everyday your going to become a better “master” and eventually your going to really get some breakthroughs. Then you can start really ramping things up and using some of your excess cash to fund other bigger projects…
You can have multiple streams of income online and multiple products in multiple markets with multiple traffic sources, but you to get one “beach head” business up, systemized and running for you so you can use it to grow everything else.
To your success,

One of the biggest mistakes most internet marketers make when it comes to getting more traffic is they only focus on the popular sources. It usually gets worse then that – most only focus on ONE source and end up in a lot of trouble when that one source changes or goes away.
