Is Internet Marketing a real Business for you, or just an expensive hobby..?

I've heard a fair bit of "grumbling", even from some well known "guru's", that their earnings have dropped off over the last 9 months or so, but in the same period my business (and yes, it is a business, not a "hobby") has increased it's profits by almost 40%...

How..?

Simples...

I've been constantly adding new products to my "funnel"!

and this is what can change your internet marketing "hobby" in to a real, long term, business!

With out your own product line you're always going to be at the mercy of others...

Yes, it is easier to just be an "affiliate" for other people, but you'll make a LOT more money with your own products!

AND it's really a lot easier than you probably think.

In the last 10 months I've added 25 new products to my "funnel", it would be more if I hadn't got a little "lazy" over the summer months, and I have another already planned between now and December.  Read more... (378 words, 1 image, estimated 1:31 mins reading time)

so two minutes later I get a perfect example of someone who really does provide value in their emails, Jonathon Leger.

Unfortunatly he's not posted this one on his blog (which is well worth visiting), so I can't link directly to it, but the email is basically explaining about how some people will steal your sites bandwidth by using your images on their sites..

I not only recommend checking out Jon's blog, but sign up for his newsletter while you're there, he makes the effort to send out some really useful info.

OK, so he is still promoting something, specifically a script from Willie Crawford that will protect your site against this kind of "virtual" theft, but he's promoting it as the ideal solution to a real problem.

This is exactly why Jon's blog was one of the first I put in my blogroll links for "internet marketers".
