You have seen these ads over and over again:

"Make Money Starting With Absolutely Nothing!"

or

"No Work Required - Just Open Your Wallet Wide!"

For the Internet newbies it is very difficult to
decide if what these ads claim is true. Heck, if
so many people are making money on the Internet,
so can I, right?

That's until they realize how much hard work and
patience is required to jump start their business.
How much love and commitment is necessary to really
make it take off. And finally, how much time and
smart efforts have to go by until their business
IS making money while they sleep.

Many of you are already familiar with the
e-publishing giant Ken Evoy who created "Make Your
Knowledge Sell". In his full money-back guarantee,
Ken specifically states: give it two years before
you can tell if your business is a success.

This means that in real life, success takes time,
hard work, more time and more hard work. Nothing
happens overnight, no matter how many times you
see it on the Internet.

So, what are the steps to making money while you
sleep?

1. Find or develop a product to sell.

2. Make a Web Site to sell it from.

3. Create a killer sales letter (or hire a
professional copywriter)

4. Set up an automatic credit card processing
system.

5. Start an affiliate program & submit it to
affiliate program directories.

6. Give away a freebie on your web site to
generate a list of potential customers. Use
an autoresponder to automatically send out
offers to your list.

7. Submit your site to the Search Engines.

8. Go to sleep every night and wake up to a sale!

The above list is only a rough draft of what should
be done to completely automate your online business.
A lot of testing should be conducted to see what
marketing strategies, sales letters, pricing,
and bonuses work best to achieve maximum sales.

Yes - making money while you sleep is possible!
But only if you work when you are awake :-)
