Education and Money Making Businesses at Home

But, let's make my point about education and money making businesses at home more concrete, shall we?

Say you're bidding on keywords to use with Google Adwords and you just pick any word that you think people might use to find your product. Once you have your word, you set-up your bidding for that word.

Well, after a lot of people click on your add and visit your webpage, you realize that you haven't made any sales.

You wonder "why". What's going on? I'm getting people to my website, why aren't they buying? Then you do a little investigating and lo and behold you come across a gem of a secret that an internet marketing teacher such as Derek Gehl always preaches: "You need to attract TARGETED traffic to your website". A BASIC principle of internet marketing.

Do'h!

A light bulb goes on in your head and you immediately put to use this new found dynamite information.

Everything's good, right? Well, now it's only a matter of making up the hundreds of dollars you lost from attracting non-targeted traffic.

Why did I decide to illustrate my point with this example? Well, because it happened to me. I, like so many other green internet marketers, did not start out attracting targeted traffic and it cost me big money to the tune of several hundred dollars.

Let's do some math...

Lost money marketing the wrong way with Google Adwords = NEGATIVE $350.
Derek Gehl's internet marketing course that, would I have purchased, would have told me how to attract targeted traffic = $197.

As you can see, I wasted about $50 bucks just because I tried to start my money making businesses at home without getting properly educated. Not to mention that Gehl's course contains a lot more useful information other than just how to attract the right kind of traffic. Also, let's not forget the amount of time I wasted, and to me, my time is priceless.

So, as you can see, if you think you are going to save some money by skipping over the basics, be prepared to have it catch up with you in the form of lost money or time.

Obviously, you can't be ready for everything when you start your money making businesses at home and you shouldn't just go on a spending spree. But make educated decisions about which educational materials to invest your precious time in. Without a doubt, if you are planning on succeeding in having your own money making businesses at home, whether internet based or not, you should become aware of the basic principles.
