Ultimate Wealth

If you want to jump-start your life and your business, you
have to know what type of Internet Marketer you are.

True financial success only comes to those that master this
concept. So ask yourself, “Do you know what kind of
Internet marketer you are”?

Have your marketing experiences on the Net been positive,
negative or mixed?

As you read through the seven levels of marketers provided
below, I want you to know that at various times in my life,
I have been at almost every single one of them. It was only
as my knowledge and experience increased that I was able to
upgrade to the level I am at today.

At some point while reading the descriptions of each level,
you will probably recognize where you are or where other
people are you know.

I recommend while reading you write down where you
currently are as you discover your level, to help improve
your awareness of your current strategy. This will also
help you realize where you need to go.

Here are the seven levels of Internet marketers.

Level 1 – The Mooches

The “Mooches” are people at the very bottom level of
marketing. They’re clueless and sit around wasting their
time. Most are completely ignorant of the moneymaking
opportunities available on the Web. These people spend
their time whining about their financial status without
taking the time to evaluate what they need to do to get
ahead.

Most Mooches don’t have a clue about Internet marketing. If
you ask them what the Internet is for, they’ll say, “to
chat” or “to e-mail friends” or even better, “to watch
porn”. You know, something useless.

Lever 2 – The Wanna-Be

The “Wanna-Be” has ambition, but not enough. They wander
around in the dark looking under stones for a magic
treasure box. They want to make money, but don’t have a
clue how. They get sucked into ridiculous scams and waste
their money on garbage ideas that won’t get them anywhere.
They need to get smart quick about where they need to go to
turn their life around.

Most Wanna-Be marketers have heard of the Internet and know
people who make money on the Net, so they are easily
excited about opportunities. Unfortunately they spend most
of their money on MLM and other moneymaking scams rather
than chasing real opportunities.

Lever 3 – The Pretend To Be

The “Pretend To Be” is living a lie. They pretend to work
hard, to do what it takes to get where they need to be. But
they don’t actually DO anything. Most are perfectionists,
worried about getting it right the first time. They don’t
realize just how much they can learn even by making a few
mistakes.

Most Pretenders are waiting for the perfect time to start a
new business. They don’t realize the perfect time is NOW.
They talk talk talk about starting an Internet business but
lack the guts necessary to DO IT. Many have successful
offline businesses and spend lots of their hard earned
money attending seminars and buying e-books about Internet
marketing.

A good example of a Pretender is a successful overworked
doctor who spends $20,000 on info-products but doesn’t
develop a website. The Pretender doesn’t understand a key
principle of this industry… You don’t have to get it right
the first time; you just have to get started.

Level 4 – The Newbie

The “Newbie” is on their way to the fast track, they just
lack experience. They have the desire to learn and grow,
and may have the skill and talent necessary. They jump into
opportunities with all the freshness one would expect of an
eager beaver in the industry. They have done some homework,
but lack the technical know how to get where they need to
be.

There is hope for the Newbie. They feel excited and
probably have read a few books about Internet marketing.
Unlike Pretenders, they are willing to invest a lot of time
in themselves. They will buy resale rights, reprint rights,
licenses of many products… but lack the know how about how
to market them.

Level 5 – The Marketer

The “Marketer” is well on their way to victory. They are
making some money. They are strong marketers. They still
lack the ambition necessary however to get off their butt
and do what they need to do to truly realize victory.

Most Marketers have a website or a moneymaker but don’t
have a business. They posses a strong understanding of
marketing, copywriting and traffic generation and have a
clear sense of what their audience is looking for. They are
often leaders within their niche and make good money.

They enjoy a comfortable living. The problem is they are
sitting on their “ass-ets” and thinking what they have
accomplished so far is all they can do. They fail to
realize there is more opportunity available if they are
willing to put in a little extra effort.

Level 6 – The Master

The “Master” is a smart marketing agent. They are making
good money, and can teach others how to do the same. Most
are visionaries, charismatic leaders who have a good handle
on everything they need to succeed. They’ll fail only if
they stop thinking about what more they can do. There is
always more success just around the corner, if only one
takes the time to look.

The Master marketers are millionaires, or at least making 6
figures a year. They are leaders in their industry. They
are well versed in direct response marketing and can teach
others. They have a vast amount of knowledge both online
and offline and experience working in different businesses.

Most have experience working with adversity. They are high
performance people who make great mentors. Most understand
traffic conversion and traffic generation.

The Master marketer can get into any niche and make money,
even if they don’t have any affinity or experience working
with a niche.

They recognize the Internet is nothing more than a medium
they can use to make money. They integrate online and
offline marketing. They posses a solid understanding of
copywriting, testing and tacking. They build a team of
experts around them and delegate responsibility to talented
people.

Level 7 – The Entrepreneur

This is where everyone should aspire to be. The
Entrepreneur has already achieved true victory. They are
the models that others try to mimic and follow. If you ask
me, your goals should be no less than achieving “The
Entrepreneur ” statue.

These are the multimillionaires, the master sales people
and the master marketers. They have a strong team of
talented people with different expertise surrounding them.

These are the people taking their companies public. They
are raising capital and selling to the public… to
shareholders… but not to customers.

They have an exit strategy in place before starting
something new. They recognize the purpose of a business is
to sell it or put it on autopilot so they can enjoy their
lives to the fullest. This is where you want to be.

Example: ebay.com, google.com, yahoo.com… etc.

So now I ask you… Which one are you? Which one do you want
to be? The people you know, which level are they at? Are
they realizing their dreams? Why or why not?

You have to ask questions, have a firm understanding of
where you are NOW and where you WANT to be soon if you want
to succeed. Don’t just charge ahead blindly, but don’t sit
on you’re ass either.

If you want to succeed, take charge of your life and your
financial future. Find out where you are, and what steps
you need to take to be where you want to be.
