Are You Building Assets ?

I was listening to an interview with a PPC marketer that did over $2 million in a year that was being interviewed about a software product he created and is focused on. The interviewer asked him why bother with time creating a product like software and supporting it,etc…when he making millions and essentially the PPC marketer said because he wants to create an asset and driving traffic with Pay Per Click is not an asset because you have nothing if google shuts you down or a campaign dies or an offer is pulled.

I have been thinking about this before I heard this interview and owning assets is really what differentiates the internet marketers that last vs. those that don’t. Do you ever wonder why advertisers are willing to pay you a couple bucks for an email submit ? It is because those advertisers are the ones that understand the marketing process of owning a list and being able to build trust/sell their customers over time.

I would say the #1 thing I wish I did since starting online was more focus on building a list. I mean I barely even bother with creating a list on this site(It is on my to-do list). Coincidentally I got an email from a popular and ethical internet marketer Eric Holmlund that mentioned a new product he was putting out called Real Guys Real Money which is essentially a full course teaching you how to build a list with the ability to also resell the entire course as a PLR product.

The truly successful internet marketers are the ones that have mastered the sales funnel process in that rather than just driving traffic all the time, they actually understand how to monetize the traffic and build a list at the same time.

Anyways, hopefully this quick post opens up your mind to what you should be doing to build a lasting business and asset online. The Real Guys Real Money course is very professional and I think it is definitely worth the money even if you never bothered with the plr rights and just watched the list building course.

If I could recommend 1 thing to take away from this post is to think about building a list.
