The author tells his own story to motivate the reader and make it clear that anyone can do this. He points out some of the errors he made which a reader can benefit from not repeating. He makes it clear that a great deal of work is involved and he spent over 8 hours a day for five years to reach great success and earn his first million dollars.

Three Great Ideas You Can Use:    

1. You must have the right mindset to succeed in internet marketing. It requires a lot of self-education, commitment, consistent application of what is learned and hard work. The pay off can be substantial.  

2. You must identify a market and then a niche within that market where there is a substantial demand for information or other products that can be satisfied with affiliate products. It is crucial to do the homework and make these choices carefully. Everything that follows requires the right market, the right niche and people willing and able to pay for the products.  

3. To succeed you must treat this as a business and not a hobby. You must develop a clear and well thought out plan including what actions you will take each day to effectively drive traffic, build a list, and market your products. Once that system is set up and made as automated as possible it will pay off repeatedly with less work on your part.
