Making a living from I.M Basics

When I first started learning about Internet marketing, the fundamentals and knowledge I had acquire back then were:

1. Selling on Yahoo! classifieds, EBAY or other e eCommerce channels 
2. Getting your own server/domain
3. to sell your Own products or remarket re seller rights products (Master resale rights etc)
4. and finally to get a 3rd party payment provider such as Paypal

Today I.M has taken the world by storm with countless of success stories to share. You can make money from I.M from the following research that I know and have gathered throughout the years.

1. Affiliate marketing
2. Adsense revenue
3. Selling books on Amazon
4. SEO branding
5. Social media marketing
6. Email marketing
7. Youtube videos with Adsense
8. Arbitrage (buy and sell ads)
9. Doing paid surveys
10. Bidding and selling Domains for profit and the list goes on and on..

I was lately introduced to Cost Per Action (CPA) marketing and was highly receptive of this ingenious concept which has been in the market for probably 5 years. If you back track the last post that I have made, you will notice the 'damage' for the course sign up and I have already dedicate hours of research and signups even before my actual training commence.

Cost Per Action/Acquisition (CPA) marketing is known as affiliate marketing. As an affiliate, also referred to as a publisher, you earn a commission by the merchant, also referred to as the advertiser for any lead or sale. This type of marketing is best done by people who are Internet savvy and who have been successful affiliate marketers in the past. Learning the ropes of CPA marketing requires you to apply or sign up with companies or networks who encourage CPA marketing.

I personally think that you need not be Jack of all trades but rather keep focusing on 1 good idea and get results from that rather then jumping all around the place. The keyword here is FOCUS.
