One of the hardest things you’ll ever face as a someone doing business online is this: getting your first sale.
Seriously, that’s the great difficulty. Once you figure out how to get that sale it’s simply a matter of duplicating the process an infinite amount of times to continue producing additional sales.
To be sure, you will test, tweak and completely change your tactics over time, but the fundamental process remains constant.
Making money online is all about connecting your offer with a buyer. That’s what it takes to make money: getting customers for something that earns you money.
The question is…
How?
Three tiny letters. One syllable. One small word. One BIG question. How? How can I get customers who buy what I’m selling?
That’s what I want to answer today. The process is the same for us all. There are three steps…
1. DEFINE the goal.
I know, I know – you’re probably thinking this: “The goal is to make money! In fact, a LOT of money!” Yeah, I get it. But that’s like saying, “The goal is to be healthy” or “The goal is to be happy”.
We need something PRACTICAL and PRECISE.
In terms of defining the goal, what is it that you will do in order “make money”? In other words, what is your OFFER?
Will you…
* Create your own product to sell?
* Promote other people’s products as an affiliate?
* Sell items on auction sites like eBay?
* Earn income as a freelance writer?
* Make money as a blogger?
* Sell digital photos as a business?
You need to decide the MEANS by which you will generate sales.
My recommendation is to choose one of the above that I just mentioned. These are all PROVEN ways to make money online. They are all relatively beginner friendly. Pick one of them and move on…
2. DETERMINE The Steps.
You’ve chosen a goal – a METHOD to make money online. Now it’s a matter of planning out the steps you’ll need to take to implement that method. In other words, it’s time to break things down into ACTION STEPS.
Your goals probably include large steps, like “set up a website” and “create a product.” If you put a task like that on your to-do list, it may take you weeks or months to accomplish.
So what you need to do is break these large tasks into reachable action steps. That way you won’t feel as overwhelmed.
Example: A task like “set up a website” may include the following smaller tasks and reachable steps:
1. Set up website
1.1 Choose domain name.
1.2 Choose webhosting.
1.3 Change domain name servers to point to new webhost.
2. Set up blog
2.1 Install WordPress blog.
2.2 Customize WP blog.
2.3 Install plugin.
2.4 Write and post six messages.
3. Set up landing page
3.1 Choose autoresponder (like Aweber.com).
3.2 Create landing page copy.
3.3 Create confirmation page.
3.4 Determine what information market is looking for.
3.5 Create seven part course based around market demand.
3.6 Write and upload autoresponder messages.
You can see the difference. Instead of thinking “I need to set up my website,” you can focus on one action step at a time. Focusing on “choosing a domain name” is downright easy compared to focusing on “setting up a site.”
Prioritize these tasks chronologically and then…
3. DO The Checklist.
It’s all about execution at this point. You need to do your to-do list!
What I would recommend is breaking things down into a series of daily and weekly to-do lists.
You may want to do this on a weekly basis, where you spend Sunday night creating your to-do lists for the week. If you get off track – or if you work faster than anticipated – be sure to revise your list for the next day.
The important thing is to set yourself a schedule of what to do each day of your work week. It doesn’t matter if you have 30 minutes per day to devote to it or 8 hours a day … schedule a task for each day of the week in order to work your way through the steps toward your goal.
Example: Here’s a BRIEF look at what your weekly schedule might look…
Monday: Choose a domain name and register. (See notes)
Tuesday: Find a hosting company. (See notes)
Wednesday: Setup order link at Clickbank. (See notes)
Thursday: Upload all files and test process. (See notes)
Friday: Write mailing and send to list. (See notes)
Obviously, all of this depends upon what you have written down in STEP TWO from above, so it’s important that you break everything down into action steps before scheduling those steps.
To summarize: you make money by connecting an offer and a buyer. You make that connection by defining your goal, determining the steps for reaching that goal and doing those steps.
That’s how you get it done.
Of course, “WHAT are the steps for reaching the goal” is an entirely different question, right?
Before we close out, let me share something with you that will help you reach the end result you’re looking for much faster and easier.
I’ve done STEP TWO for you.
All you need to do is choose something from step one: create your own product, become an affiliate marketer, sell on eBay, freelance write, blog or sell digital photos.
Pick one of those and I’ve got everything already developed for you in a series of 31-day guides which break down all of the steps into daily activities for one month to reach your goal.
At http://www.Imstitute.com/WorkFromHome/ you will find these guides…
1. The 31-Day Guide To Selling Digital Photos Online
2. The 31-Day Guide To Making Money On Ebay
3. The 31-Day Guide To Making Money As A Blogger
4. The 31-Day Guide To Making Money As A Freelance Writer
5. The 31-Day Guide To Profiting As An Affiliate
6. The 31-Day Guide To Making Money Selling Tiny Reports
Each of these guides contains 50-80 pages of meaty information arranged in reachable, daily action steps … one for each day of the month.
These guides are normally $30 each, but they are available until Friday, March 18th @ 10PM for a discounted price of $20 each. This offer is ONLY available until then and will not be repeated.
The guides are “beginner friendly”, but are also perfect for “intermediates” as well.

Jimmy:
I recently purchased your PROFIT series. I haven’t made any money yet. I’m finishing my blog and starting a squeeze page. I’m very passionate about marriage/divorces.
Your info is so awesome. You explain things so simply. I’m hoping I can join your membernaire soon. Keep the info coming. God Bless

Great post Jim. I am new to Internet Marketing and I’m currently learning by reading printed books, ebooks, and
viewing videos and webinars. After listening to different
Internet Marketing gurus teaching various topics, I was still wondering where to start until I read this post. I will use this method as a roadmap to becoming an Internet Entrepeneur. All of the methods that you provided will even create Multiple Streams of Internet Income.
Hi Jimmy,
Great content and guide. Breaking down the process into steps is much easy to follow and accomplish.
Regards,
Victor
Thanks for a practical lesson not just in how to make money online, but how to manage our time effectively for the most efficient results. Great stuff.
Focus on ONE thing. Freelance writing is IMO the best way to START out your IM career.
Heya Jimmy
As usual from you, quite an informative post! So straight to the point that some might discount it’s effectiveness and that’s the problem today in the internet marketing arena. People want push button when every day it’s getting tougher as more people are getting educated in the marketplace (not always good btw).
I admit that it’s easy to get distracted by all the “shiny” objects since I too am not immune to this, but Jimmy describes here a straightforward process and provides the PLR to make it work too
What more could you ask for right?
Thanks for reminding someone like me about the blueprint!
Regards,
Mark
Helo Jimmy,Thank you very much for the insight.You have really made a big Elephant eatable in bits.Clarity is the order and your step by step guide has done exactly that.It cannot be easier than this.
Many dont take action because of confusion,but with this breakdown ,no more excuse
Thank you Jimmy for being so clear on the steps. Isn’t amazing how many people often forget the very first step..setting the goal, if you don;t know where you want to go…how will you ever get there? thanks as always
Jimmy,
I’ve been following you for nearly six years and you always over-deliver.
I love how you can take a sometimes daunting task and break it down into manageable steps. No doubt to you this comes easily, but not to all of us! Thanks for making it brain-dead simple.

Hi Jimmy,
This is great stuff, but I think before you go creating products or choosing them as an affiliate, you really do need to know if anyone will buy it. I have seen so much heartbreak when people fail to do this step — and it’s so easy to do. You can check amazon.com or ebay to see what’s selling — if there are buyers in those venues, you can be fairly sure it’s in demand.
I am not sure where in the sequence above this step would go, but it does need to be part of any monetization plan.
Thank you again Mr. Brown for helping me to rattle my own cage and renew my sense of momentum. You’ve given me some great ideas that I’ll be implementing on my main site immediately and some new sites in the very near future.

Great Post! I am new to make money online.
I am trying to build a dating advice niche site. SEO is not easy. May be I should start from something simpler like one of your 31 day guide
Your *key* is the “reachable steps” because overwhelm can’t bog us down if we’ve broken our goals down into something do-able rather than feeling like we’re about to climb Mt. Everest.
Thanks for yet another great article. I love the way you write and teach.
Hope you and yours are all well & enjoying Spring! Donna
As Director of Small Business Services at Wayne State University (Detroit) for 30 years, I have worked with thousands of small business owners. When they run into marketing problems I always recommend your materials. For the price they are best there is. Your advice is ALWAYS practical and specific.
Keep up the GREAT work!

Hello, Jimmy
I will be the first to admit focusing on one task at a time is the “ONLY WAY” that you will ever get any were in the internet marketing business, or any other for that matter.
I can’t tell you how long it took me to figure that problem out, actually I am ashamed to say. Hint it was years, of wasted time, well I learned a-lot but made no money I spent a-lot of money but again I made none. Not until I started really focusing and it sounds simple but it isn’t.
This is probably the one thing that most people don’t get and that causes them to give up before they do make any money, or they wonder aimlessly form opportunity to opportunity chasing the next best thing.
To Success, Joey
P.S. There is good info here follow it!
Using an outline like a numerical list is a good idea to break down a complex task, nice illustration here Jim, your explanation really simplify the whole project.
You’re truly a master of simplicity.
To your success,
Felix
This is good information. The most important part I believe is the last part which is to take action. Without that part handled everything is just speculation. Thanks for sharing!
