Best Way To Do Internet Marketing As A Retirement Strategy

11 years ago

Invest in internet properties, using tax deferred strategies, where
the properties grow in value over time.

Basically sink $100 into a domain name, hosting, and few other
essentials, nurture it, and in few years you have something worth
six or 7 figures where if you sold it, all of you gain gets preferential
tax treatment.

The topic is a little complex for here, but you CAN grow $100 into
$1 million or more if you know what your'e doing... and then live
off the "interest" on your investment.

Along the same line, you can set up some highly targeted lead
generation pages, geo-targeting highly competitive keywords,
ranking on them, and then renting the lead capture sites or pages
to local business owners.

As an example, rank for Atlanta Plumber,and then lease that page out to a local plumber. When he no longer wants it, lease it to
someone else.

Rank a couple hundred pages that you are leasing out and you have
a nice residual income. Keeping these pages highly ranked is easier than
most people think. When you get tired of the business, sell everything!

These kind of sales are extremely rare in relation to the number of web developers in the industry. They don't happen just because someone knew what they were doing. Pure luck plays a key role. You need to have the right site with the right market share at the exact moment in time when a company with the financial means is looking to buy to skip the initial growing pains. You may also have to move to California or New York to work for them as part of the deal ("talent acquisition" often being the motive for the purchase in the first place).

  Reverse engineer one profitable affiliate site after another and then farm each one out to personal virtual assistants in the Philippines. Then manage those virtual assistants during your "retirement" years. This could be the holy grail strategy of internet marketing for retirement?
  
  By the way, the word retirement does not exist in the Okinawan language and they have the longest living people on earth there.

Give your ideas please.

Internet Marketing is a bad retirement strategy, things change too quickly. Ask around how many people here are doing the same thing now that they were five years ago... you won't find very many.

Anything that's "less work for more profits today" will become saturated, and eventually be "no work and no profits".

Your best way to use IM as a retirement strategy is to make as much money as you can now, and invest it in other things (real estate, growth stock mutual funds, etc.) for retirement.

Part of that problem is that people jump into the next shiny object and realize later with regret that they should have stuck with what they started with.

Also, paid internet advertising will always be available so if you build your business on paid advertising rather then SEO then things will not change so fast for those who build it on paid advertising versus those who got burned in SEO with all the Google Panda, Penguin, etc. etc. changes.

Hmm, you have more answers for yourself.

I was going to say, don't use names like "Indiana Jones" and fake pics on a forum if you are looking for your retirement strategy to be effective. Build on your REAL name.

Some of the best ways that I can see this working is to meet real people in real life and network with them - whatever your strongest skills are - become known for this. I meet people in my regular routine life just in my city and come across those that want to put a product out or interested in advertising their business - it's easy to get gigs when you are the "to go to" guy in your area. Or at least be known for having some IM skills.

And like it was mentioned - build your real name with your real picture - not necessary but it's harder for people to know who you are and what you are about. My opinion.

Do lifetime commissions on your affilate deals.
Called residual this is the site I use to find them.
Affiliate programs with lifetime commissions or residual commissions for life

Invest your profits in real estate or a money market, whatever you desire, I do real estate.

Doing internet marketing and being self employed from a real job is no different and should not be thought of as different. You should still pay your social security taxes and your self employment tax as well as have a retirement plan in force, I am lucky cause I am a veteran so I use the V.A. as my medical care, I am at the top tier of co pay but 50 bucks for surgery is not much to pay out.

Give your ideas please.

Make a boat load of money online and take a healthy portion of your profits and invest them in traditional, but high yielding investment vehicles that make you passive income.

For example:

- become a silent partner in proven passive money makers like apartment housing, parking lots, and other daily and monthly income streams

- invest in certain stocks that always pay high dividends

- get into hedge funds. More risky but the riskier the investment, the greater the return

Just throwing some stuff out there off the top of my head

  Building a backlist of books is another example of creating an asset as outlined by Willie C. above.
  
  If you're approaching IM from a financial planning angle, the keys are income and saleability down the road. You want the income AND the capital gains.
  
  Later, if you decide to sell, concentrate on both ROIs.
  
  First, worry about Return OF Investment. There are an awful lot of former professional athletes who made millions during their active career, yet end up broke because they sank their money into dubious investments.
  
  Once you find a potential investment that fits your risk tolerance, the you can think about Return ON Investment.

  For example, you write Kindle books one after another after another after another etc. etc. etc. and your passive retirement income keeps building.
  
  This works only if you plan the Kindle books in such a way that they will neither actually go out of date or be perceived to have gone out of date, and if you promote the heck out of them and get great reviews so that the Kindle books have a lot of momentum going for them before you retire.
  
  Otherwise your retirement income will dwindle.
  
  Note that it will rarely just keep going and going. I had a book that in 1988 was offered by the Book of the Month club. It had tremendous momentum and earned me royalties for about 20 years. It's now out of print, however, and I'm not sure I could even give away the remaining copies I have in my basement because it's perceived to be out of date, even though it really isn't. I'm not complaining because I sure did well with that little book!

There is no such thing in this business as building something up and then sitting back as the profits roll in indefinitely with minimal work. It sounds like that is the holy grail you are in search of. It does not exist.

The most realistic plan is to make as much money as you can while your window of opportunity is open. Whatever it is you find that works, push hard to maximize the earnings. Don't let up just because you've got $X in the bank or you'll regret it later. From there you've typically got 3 to 5 years before the market changes and you've got to either change with it (no telling what happens) or exit with whatever you made.

Writing Kindle ebooks seems to be a good alternative because Amazon helps you with the promotion, but you cannot depend only on that. You have to promote your ebooks yourself, and you have to write a series of ebooks.

Affiliate marketing depends on promotions and there is a fierce competition in all niches. Getting traffic became more problematic than ever.

Everyone will have their own favorite ways to recommend.

Simply because.... what works for one might not work for another.

You need to test out different methods:

Product Creation

eMail marketing

Affiliate marketing

PPC

etc.etc.etc.

And see which one appeals to your character the *most*. Then focus solely on rinsing/repeating that.

For example, I'm great a product creation/affiliate marketing. Offline/face to face sales doesn't work whatsoever to me, because its simply NOT my nature.

But it might be yours. And the only way you can find out is *try*.

Another thing to remember - as you get older, you might find yourself getting more non-optimal. So do the most and the best you can today so you can coast in your later years when required.

Hope that helps!

It depends on what you'd like to have as income in retirement.

I have a number of sites that I haven't really touched in years that still bring in income. I'd hate to have to live on it, though. Of course, if you had THOUSANDS of sites like that...

Most retired people like to do *something*. At least for a few hours a week. If you enjoy affiliate marketing and/or email marketing, and you've laid a solid groundwork, I can see making decent money for just a few hours a week. But the key is putting in the years of hard work to get to that point.

And the point made earlier in this thread about how quickly things can change is very true. You could see your nice retirement income go "poof".
