Is Internet Marketing For You?
So… Number 1 everyone tells you that you can make a lot of money as an Internet Marketer…
But what is an ‘Internet Marketer’?
Well that term could be used to describe a variety of different avenues and business models online… for example.
- Perhaps you have your own product and you sell it online
- Maybe you promote other people’s products as an affiliate
- It might mean you pursue income from CPA
Etc… Etc… Etc…
But here’s the problem
You need to drive traffic… without traffic you’re not selling anything.
On the face of things Internet Marketing sounds easy… it sounds fast… and it sounds remarkably profitable, and yes it is all of those things and more.
But if you don’t have traffic or a means of driving traffic then… Easy It Is Not!
So, is this post about traffic? Nope
Instead… let’s forget all about typical IM and traffic and consider another online option (one of many actually).

Micro Courses
What’s a Micro Course?
Well I guess a Micro Course is a phrase which would work equally well with any small course which tackles one method or teaches how to do one thing.
But in this post it serves to describe small video courses which are added to peer to peer teaching platforms such as Udemy, Skill Share, Amazon and a number of others.
Why is this Good For You?
Well first of all these courses are easy to produce (even when you don’t really have any particular skill set)… You get paid each time someone takes your course… and you don’t need to drive traffic (but you can do if you wish).
How do I make a Micro ‘Video’ Course?
If you have a skill this part is easy… Skill does sound like something big, but in reality it could be something as simple as setting up an autoresponder, building a landing page with a particular page builder, setting up a Facebook ad etc, etc.
A skill could be one aspect of something you do day in – day out… Something you now take for granted is still a hurdle for most… and they are very happy to pay for that little snippet of step by step knowledge that gets them past that little hurdle.
So, to many… you are already an expert.
Instant Hit
Now lets assume you want to quickly crush it on any number of these training platforms (remember you get paid when people take your course)… here’s what a number of people are already doing… Let me mention Sorin as an example.

Yes Sorin is a real person, and perhaps one of the inspirations for this post. Sorin tried and failed at typical Internet Marketing / Affiliate marketing even though he bought every IM product under the sun… He tried it, failed and gave up.
He gave up and started producing instantly successful and profitable micro courses by using the actual platforms he was going to sell on (Udemy, SkillShare etc) to research and uncover the best selling and most successful courses and sellers. Once he had this information he simply modelled those existing sellers and their products.
Could you do that?… honestly – yes you could, in fact anyone could. Sorin stated doing this as a complete newbie having never been to or on Udemy or Skillshare before and yet he began to profit from his first course almost instantly.
How much does he make? Between 3 platforms; around $3000 per month.
The trick is to find what people are buying, produce similar courses, produce them and add to a number of different platforms and then you benefit from more exposure from the same course (multiple platforms = More profit)
In order to speed things up… You could follow: Sorin’s Step-by-Step Process – Details Here.
It’s Passive
Passive… what’s that?
In a nutshell… you do it once upload to the teaching platforms and then continue to get paid for as long as people take your course… Now if you did follow Sorin’s method and focused only on the best sellers and vendors then the chances are that your courses are going to sell month in – month out for years. So what took you 30 minutes to maybe 3 or so hours to produce can pay you monthly for years… i.e. do it once and get paid monthly without doing another thing (Passive Income). And there is no traffic or customer generation to worry about… its built in. People are already searching for a couse just like the one you’re going to make.
Make it – Put it in the right place – Maybe follow Sorin’s Approach or somebody elses – start making money on a monthly basis.
Remember you only have to produce a small video course once (30 mins to 3 hours)… you don’t have to have your face on camera, PowerPoint (or Similar works) or simply screen casts of your computer screen will do the trick
Costs?
Equipment: There are no major costs involved… If you have a computer, laptop or tablet, and an internet connection you’re in business.
Ideally you’ll want to pick up an external Microphone (for better sound quality) but that’s about it.
Screen recording software: Personally I use Camtasia and have done for years (you can get a free trial here). But it isn’t cheap (after the trial… very good, but not cheap), if you are on a budget you can use ScreenCastOMatic which is free.
There is no Will it work or Won’t it… these peer to peer teaching platforms are huge and growing daily – this works and it works better if you target exactly what people want like Sorin does… Try it and see for yourself.
