Internet Marketing, E-Commerce and Job Security

Here are the thoughts on the subject by a successful Internet Marketer and online e-Commerce shop-owner, who came from a successful corporate career in the USA (It is amazing how many successful Internet Marketers came from equally successful corporate careers – It however is always advisable to try an online business part-time before quitting a full-time job).

I make my living full time doing Internet Marketing. I truly believe that the reason I was able to walk away from Corporate America and a nice salary, while maintaining my high standard of living, is through diversification.

When doing Internet Marketing, I don’t rely on just PPC and Clickbank. I use lots of SEO, do lots of other affiliate marketing, and make nice money in Ecommerce. This way, if something happens in one market or one traffic source, I am covered. I have built a real business, not just a flash in the pan that can be taken away if Google gets cranky or the Clickbank publisher decides to go out of business, etc. The same is true for any dedicated career professional, who may think their job is secure while working for Big Business. Some had to learn the hard way during recent events.

I think the danger of distraction, comes from every arbitrage, loophole, secret handshake, momentary blip, make money while I sleep, massacre, conquest, destroyer, blah blah blah….all kinds of mysterious secrets that make you rich! These are the distractions. To become successful, you must be able to distinguish REAL opportunities from sales hype, and never have all eggs in one basket.

If you buy lots of the REAL products that teach REAL methods, you can use all of them together. For example in Niche Blueprint, every single traffic generation product you ever bought, can be brought to bear. Every PPC, SEO, article marketing, Web 2.0, all the IM training, landing page design secrets etc. is completely transferable to another part of an online business.

So it’s all about diversification, buying real products that have REAL LONG TERM informational or other value, and then the SYNERGY of having them all work together. And, having a job at a Big Company or Bank, does not provide any security at all.
