I realized that I often mention different sites I use, or places I frequent to learn more about how to make money online – and one of the places I mention alot is Earn1KaDay.  I also realized that while I talk about it alot, maybe I haven’t really given any of my readers an indication of what all is inside this exclusive membership site, not to mention the internet marketing training they will find once inside.

I have been online for over 5 years, and in those years, I have spent more money than I care to even think about on wasted products and programs that promised to give me the answers I needed.  And, that includes spending money on membership sites that just didn’t deliver what they said.

I guess today is a bit of a rant, (again – starting to wonder if I have some anger issues;-), about something that I see alot of, especially around this time of year.

Everyone has heard all the talk about needing to attend Internet Marketing seminars and conferences if they really want to grow their business.  And, most likely you have heard it said at one time or another that if you don’t attend these seminars, then you aren’t taking your business seriously.  Or, that you are simply making up excuses why you can’t go – as though your reasons for not being able to attend are not really legitimate.

Well, I have to put my neck on the line a bit to say that I don’t necessarily think those sentiments are very fair.

Many people think that marketers working online are nothing more than spammers who are trying to invade their privacy.  And, it is easy to understand why.  Unfortunately, there are way too many people out there calling themselves “internet marketers” who really are nothing but spammers – but in truth, they aren’t real marketers.

Real marketers ask for your permission to send you offers through email – normally by having you sign up through an optin form on their site.  And, most of these optins will then need to be confirmed by you before your name is ever added to the list, or anything is ever sent out.

Internet marketers who take their business seriously, do not want to have their credibility hurt by sending out any form of spam.  However, there will always be those people out there who hit the “Report Spam” button on their email because they either didn’t like the message that was sent, or they legitimately don’t remember signing up with their email.

Every time you make a post to your blog, you have an opportunity to get a flood of traffic to your site.  And, the best part is, even if your blog is brand new – these are strategies you can use to get results almost immediately.  You don’t have to wait for weeks while your blog gets high rankings in the search engines, and you don’t need to keep forking over money for pay-per-click traffic.

So, how can you do this?

Use RSS feeds

Sometimes getting traffic to a website can leave you feeling like you have ran out of gas on an abandoned dirt road.  No one is coming by – and you feel like you are the only one who is actually seeing your site.

And unfortunately, without traffic, there really is no point to having a website.  If no one is visiting, and no one is seeing your offer, then it doesn’t matter what else you do – you won’t be making any money.  You can tweak your content, add fancy graphics, and offer free material for visitors – but if they aren’t finding you, then you are pretty much dead in the water.

So, what can you do?  There are paid options – such as PPC (Pay-Per-Click) through places like Google Adwords, Facebook or Bing, banner advertising on other sites, paying to have a solo ad go out on ezines…..the list goes on.

Well, the past few weeks have been a ride.  I have been feeling guilty for neglecting this blog in the madness of everything else I am trying to do – so the truth is, I actually posted the site for sale a couple of weeks ago.  It was a decision that was incredibly hard for me to do, because I have spent so much time building the site to this point.

But, I just felt I wasn’t giving it everything it deserved.  See, I was having a hard time knowing where to focus the site which led me to put off posting as a way to maybe avoid trying to decide where to go with it.

When I started this site, I had plans for it to be an “everything” site – including every possible way a mom could make money online.  And, for awhile, that was where it was going.
