			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best way I know of to create and build a successful online business is to select a business model and then focus on making it a success.</p>
<p>I know, it sounds really simple, but it amazes me how few people actually follow through and do this.</p>
<p>Instead, they purchase every new internet marketing product that comes along, no matter if it fits into their current business model or not.</p>
<p>They may be working on building up their adsense income by writing articles to drive traffic to their little content site that has adsense ads.</p>
<p>Then they get bombarded by 57 different internet marketers touting the next great thing in internet marketing that they must BUY NOW before it&#8217;s too late!<span id="more-39"></span></p>
<p>So they buy it. It has nothing to do with their current online business model but they start working on it and abandon what they&#8217;ve been doing up to this point.</p>
<p>Then the pattern repeats itself. They spend money, start something new, abandon what they were doing, and soon start the process all over again by purchasing the next heavily promoted internet marketing product.</p>
<p><a name="more-39"></a>This cycle is in full swing as I write this.</p>
<p>Huge marketing campaigns are going on right now for some big, expensive products from Frank Kern&#8217;s Mass Control to the SMARTS program put on by StomperNet.</p>
<p>Regardless of how good these programs may be (and they could be great. I don&#8217;t know because I don&#8217;t have them), if they don&#8217;t fit into your business model you don&#8217;t need them. At least not right now.</p>
<p>Yes, there is a ton of stuff to buy, the sales letters make you want to buy, and you&#8217;re afraid of missing out. I get it.</p>
<p>But if you want to succeed with your internet marketing business, choose a business model and then focus on the fundamentals of what makes that model successful.</p>
<p>If you want to turn this internet marketing thing into a real long term and successful business, then you have to treat it like a business. And that means becoming a business person.</p>
<p>You need to learn the marketing fundamentals of your business model. Then you need to implement those marketing fundamentals consistently.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how I did it. After getting buried by offers and spending a lot of money and running over in a million different directions I decided to focus on one thing.</p>
<p>And that one thing was creating an authority content site in my niche.</p>
<p>I chose <a href="http://www.sbiwebhosting.com/" target="new">SBI</a> for my hosting needs and it was the best decision I&#8217;ve ever made. <a href="http://www.sbiwebhosting.com/" target="new">SBI</a> is a complete, all in one, internet success package.</p>
<p>I focused solely on what <a href="http://www.sbiwebhosting.com/" target="new">SBI</a> taught me and I went to work creating my content site that now totals over 526 pages of original content, that generates over 1,000 unique visitors per day, and has top search engine rankings for very competitive keywords in my niche.</p>
<p>Then I expanded from there by focusing on aspects of internet marketing that were natural expansions of my business model.</p>
<p>I started a newsletter, I wrote two ebooks that I sell, I started writing and submitting articles to sites like <a href="http://www.ezinearticles.com/" target="new">EzineArticles.com</a> and writing for big content sites in my niche, etc.</p>
<p>I also created a blog to compliment my original content site so I could take advantage of the new web 2.0 traffic generation sites.</p>
<p>You can learn more about creating a <a href="http://www.vretips.com" target="_blank">virtual real estate empire.</a></p>
<p>All of these things built upon what I originally started with <a href="http://www.sbiwebhosting.com/" target="new">SBI</a></p>
<p>If you want to succeed with your internet marketing business, you need to treat it like a business and focus on the fundamentals of what will make your business model a successful one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not a fan of <strong>traffic generation software</strong>. It&#8217;s a flat out rip off!</p>
<p>Besides the fact that it doesn&#8217;t work long term and is a horrible way to build a successful internet marketing business, by the time it hits the market for the general public to buy, it&#8217;s already worthless and ineffective.</p>
<p><a name="more-52"></a>People who create traffic generation software use it first! They make some serious cash.</p>
<p>Then, when things are starting to dry up, they give it to some people who produce some okay results themselves.<span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p>They use these as testimonials and then launch their traffic generation software crap onto an unsuspecting internet marketing public!</p>
<p>And the public is all too eager to whip out their credit card and buy because they are all desperate buyers looking for anything that will get them more traffic to their sites.</p>
<p>If they think traffic generation software is going to do that, they are more than happy to part with their hard earned cash.</p>
<p>Let me make it clear, I&#8217;m talking about traffic generation software that&#8217;s designed to make thousands of pages for your site automatically by, in one way or another, scraping content from other sites.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not talking about software that can help automate certain site building tasks in order to make things easier for you.</p>
<p>Stop going after this junk software and generate massive amounts of traffic the real way that will help you build a successful online business.</p>
<p>Check out the <a href="http://www.vretips.com" target="_blank">VRE Coaching Course</a> It&#8217;s free and better than most courses that cost hundreds of dollars.  Seriously.</p>
