IncomeKickStart.com - Back to the Basics Baby! (Income Kick Start)

Alright this might be a long one…but that usually means it’s a good one.

I just finished jamming on acoustic guitar with my buddy Jay, we’ve been playing for about 2 hours now. All the while I’ve had the same thoughts running around in my head about the 20 minute video I watched earlier today by Anik Singal.

Watch it here if you are in a rush. But I’d personally suggest reading what I got to say.

If you don’t know who Anik Singal is that doesn’t really matter at this point. You’ll make your own decision about him eventually I’m sure. So let me start first of all by saying this. YES, Anik is going to try to sell you something. DUH!

So don’t get all pissy at me or Anik when you head over there, watch the video and then at the end there’s a product for sale. This is Internet Marketing, this is what we do. You should know that by now. So if you aren’t making any money online instead of getting upset just pay attention… ya, even if you don’t buy anything.

This is a video about the basics baby! Like learning how to crawl before you walk. Then mastering walking before you try running, and then of course running and eventually sprinting. One step at a time, totally natural the way mother nature and god almighty himself planned it.

All successful Internet Marketers already have these 3 simple things in place even if they don’t know it. But they probably do.

So this is Anik Singals story about how he started on just like you and me on the Internet. A nobody, with no money and no knowledge, but a dream. A hope to make enough money online to replace the income from his job. But Anik is a ridiculously hard working and smart individual and he did the smartest thing in the world. He started with the basics.

He calls it a formula but really it’s just stripping away all the complexities of Internet Marketing and just laying it out completely simply. It’s the basic ingredients to getting you started selling online, but not just selling, but growing your business.

So basically it works like this.

1. You find a product to sell. (what to sell)
2. You throw some targeted traffic at it. (where to sell it)
3. You automate the system. (how to sell it)

That’s basically it. Sounds pretty stupid right. You’re saying to yourself, “I already knew that.”

But seriously, think about it. All the other stuff you see on the Internet always boils down to those three things but look at the host of products, services and ebooks that come out of it which all can easily serve to confuse you and take you focus away from the BASICS.

1.) What to Sell. (Niche Marketing, Product Creation, CPA, Adsese Products, Resell Rights)
2.) Where to Sell It. (Article Marketing, Blogging, Adwords, Link Building, Joint Ventures)
3.) How to Sell It Automatically. (Webhosting, Autoresponder, Domain Names)

Do you see what I’m getting at?

Ok I think you understand. Now go watch this video and see in more detail what Anik is teaching and how if you have been struggling online, it’s probably cause you are into Niche Marketing or Blogging or Building Websites, when really what you need to do is go back to the basics and set up your ‘BUSINESS’ from the basics.
