THE IMPORTANCE OF Marketing
If you search on Goggle – you can find all manner of methods of attracting money into your life.
I love (sarcasm) all the Youtube videos that tell you after listening to this high frequency sound for 15 minutes you will become a millionaire, and such like.... Yeah, right!
Now, as a self-development mentor, I absolutely understand the advantages of high energy vibrations and positivism, and manifesting things into your life by the power of intent and self-belief.
But, listening to various frequency sounds and music will not by themselves do ANYTHING for you... except perhaps put you to sleep.
Yes meditation and repeating positive affirmations do have their place in attracting money into your life. However, without the actions required to go along with the higher vibrations of your intent, you are doing nothing but dreaming by listening to these types of music tracks.
To turn your thoughts and desires for money into actually receiving money, you have to (or already have) put the ways and means of gaining the money into place.
For example... It does not matter how much or how often, you meditate, dream or visualise – or how much intent you put into winning the lottery, it obviously CANNOT happen, unless you have bought a lottery ticket.
The same goes for attracting money to you in any other way. It simply cannot happen, unless you already have the means of its reception into our life. You do have a chance – a vastly increased chance, of attracting money into your life by the power of your thoughts – if you take action , or have already done so, to facilitate the methods in which the money will arrive to you.
Another example... simply joining an affiliate program and by doing so earnestly hoping and praying that it will result in money manifesting into your life, has a very limited, if any, chance of happening. But if you take some action and introduce the program to someone else (family or stranger) the pathway has , at least, been opened.
It really does not matter how brilliant the program is that you joined, or how good its sales page converts, or how beautiful your own website is – the ONLY way that all this can even have a hope of producing some money for you, is IF other people see it!
And how do you attract other people to visit whatever it is you are doing, or have created?
There are literally hundreds of ways of getting Traffic' to see your offer. Now this is a good thing – and also a very bad thing. It is great to have so many different ways of 'marketing' your offer, to chose from... but on the other hand this can also lead to one of the greatest problems of marketing – that is overwhelm!
Each different marketing guru or expert, or successful business owner, will tell you a different 'best' way to generate traffic. And these methods are seemingly endless...
Content marketing – posting blogs and articles all over the place
Creating Youtube videos, and FB Reels, and Tiktok and Instagram 'stories... and on it goes...
Paid traffic – make and post ads on all sorts of platforms. Pay for 'Solo ads', and list-blasters etc.

Social media marketing – posting endless content and pictures on FB, Instagram, Linked-in, Pinterest, Quora, Tiktok, Reddit... the list is endless...
Pay-per-view Google adwords and the like...
Seo – Search Engine Optimisation – a literal nightmare...
Traffic exchanges – where you spend endless time looking at other's adverts in the hope some people will reciprocate and look at yours...
List building – offering an incentive for people to give you their email address, so that you can market to them directly...
Paying other people to market for you – a minefield of scammers and cheats.
This has barely scratched the surface of the hundreds of different methods of marketing – no wonder overwhelm is such a destroyer of people's dreams of making money online.
Although I cannot tell you which method of marketing to chose – I can tell you what NOT to do... and that is do NOT (however, you do it) send people directly to the affiliate program or product page you are promoting unless the program (like GDLC – and some of the other programs I recommend) will capture an email address on your behalf.)
Unfortunately getting traffic IS (despite what you may have heard from others) the most difficult part of making money online.
My suggestion is that you DO concentrate on building an email list above all else – even just a small one... However, you will need to generate traffic to get people to visit your 'splash page' (sign-up page) in the first place.
...This is where '5 Dollar Friday' comes in
Five Dollar Friday is the brainchild of another good guy of Internet marketing. Frank (the owner) is a man of the highest integrity and IS passionate about helping others succeed in gaining an online income. Of course, he increases his own income by doing so. To me this is the very essence of gaining financial success... making money by benefiting others, instead of at their expense.
The 5 Dollar Friday program is far to expansive and variegated to describe in detail here. However... just to say it provides more VAUE than any other Internet marketing platform in the world. And as its name suggests, even high cost marketing apps and products are regularly sold (each Friday) for a nominal price of $5.00 – or more often given away FREE.
Give people real value by sending them to this Free to join platform – where they to can get the apps and products they want and need – and excellent marketing training... AND FREE or very inexpensive methods of getting traffic.
There is an affiliate component to 5 Dollar Friday – however, it costs $97.00 to be a 5 Dollar Friday 'partner'. I have not joined this, because I am more interested in you picking up the exceptional FREE offers, rather than trying to persuade you to buy the more expensive offerings.

Finally – do not get overwhelmed by this email course.
Yes, I have offered a large and varied range of income generators, each of which is a great start to gaining Financial freedom, and you may be tempted to join them all (even if you did the monthly expense of them all combined is not excessive).
My suggestion is chose 1 or 2 programs to promote which captures email addresses and slowly and gradually build up an email list. You can then join other programs when you have an audience that might respond to your suggestions and recommendations.
Whatever you do though do NOT be overwhelmed into inaction. Simply take the parts of this course that resonate with you the most an act upon those.
Eventually you WILL be in a position take advantage of every program here – and others – I promise... IF you at least take the first steps.
