The Hardest Part About Internet Marketing
A lot of people are going to get this question wrong and it’s because they don’t understand the true psychological barriers to earning a living online from the “comfort” of your home. Okay, there, that should give you a clue. The question?
What’s the hardest part about Internet marketing?
If you said, not knowing what you’re doing…buzz. Sorry, wrong.
That’s only true at the very beginning. Sure, nobody knows what they’re doing when they first start out. Heck, I didn’t know what I was doing when I first started either. But I learned.
However, even with all the knowledge, you’re still not going to have success unless you do one very critical thing.
Know what it is?
Time’s up…Buzz.
Okay, here’s the answer…take action.
I don’t care how much you know. Unless you actually sit down and do the things that you need to do, you’re not going to have any success at all.
Okay, some of you are probably saying, “Duh! Well, of course not.” Ah, but do you REALLY understand WHY this is such a huge problem? I mean why is it that so many people don’t take action?
I’m going to explain why with a very specific example. After you are done reading this, you will TOTALLY understand why this process is so hard for people.
Let’s say that you want to create your own ebook. It doesn’t matter what the topic is. It can be anything at all. Okay, let’s take a look at what’s really involved with doing this.
Well, for starters, you have to create the book, which means tons of writing and tons of research in order to get the book written. But that’s only part of the problem.
A good marketer knows that in order to sell this ebook, he has to build an opt in list of prospects. To do this, he needs to create another book to give away as a free report. Plus, he needs to create a squeeze page in order to get opt ins. Then, he needs to create an autoresponder series of relevant content in order to persuade people to buy.
On top of all that, he has to create a sales page to actually sell the ebook from. And these can cost a fortune if he can’t write sales copy himself. And finally, if he wants to establish a web presence, he should also have his own full blown web site…another pain in the butt to create.
As you can see, this is a ton of work. And we haven’t even gotten to the part of actually advertising your product. But why is it that people don’t want to do this? It’s not so much because of the work itself, though that is a part of it. It goes deeper than that.
See, when you’re confronted with having to put THAT much work into something, in the back of your mind, you’re always thinking, “What if I do all that work and it’s a flop?” The thought of having to put in all that work for NOTHING is what scares people the most and that is why they don’t do it.
Truth is, if somebody did all the above for them and said, “Here, take it” they’d at least give it a shot. They’d have little to lose by putting out a few ads. If it didn’t sell, so what? They at least didn’t waste all that time creating something.
Well, when I realized this, I finally decided to do something about it. I’ve created a test product to see how it does. It’s called, very simply, “Business In A Box” and it has all the things I discussed above. All you need to do is take it and upload it to your server. Yes, you will need to get your own hosting and domain. That’s the only thing I don’t provide.
Here is what you get in “Business In A Box”.
Squeeze Page for collecting opt ins
Free Report to give away to these opt ins
52 week autoresponder series to follow up with opt ins
Product to sell
Sales Page
127 page web site loaded with content. (No, you’re not seeing things)
The only thing you have to do is just upload the sales pages, squeeze pages and site and get an autoresponder (I recommend Aweber) to send out the followup series to.
If you want to get more detailed information, here’s the web site:

I’ve sold a few beta copies and you can read the testimonials on the sales page itself. There are more but I didn’t include them all because, quite honestly, you wouldn’t believe what people had to say about this offer.
Why am I making it? Well, I look at it this way. I’ve already done the work by putting all this together so why not give others the chance to use it as well? So few are going to take action anyway (even doing all this for them) that I’m not worried about there being a glut on the market. Besides, I’m only going to let so many of these go before I pull this page down. So don’t be surprised if you go to it today and find it gone.
Anyway, here’s the site again.

Put “Business In A Box” in the subject
There is nothing I won’t answer. It’s not like it’s an ebook of secrets that I have to keep from you. I could tell you everything that’s on every page of every site and it won’t matter. You’ll either have to get it or do it yourself, which is what I am trying to save you the trouble of doing.
So ask anything you like. I’m an open book.
In the meantime, you now know what the hardest part of making money online is…taking action.
And believe me…for most people…it’s the deal breaker.
To YOUR Success,
Steven Wagenheim
