Rick Kettner’s Personal Blog
Welcome to Rick Kettner's personal blog. Below you will find content that was recently added to RickKettner.com, along with tips and tricks for Internet Marketers. Stay tuned for updates.
This post was inspired by something I read on the “Warrior Forums” today. Someone was asking what they should do with their last $150 to start a business online. Apparently this person had spent around $9000 on various courses, and had not yet had success. I’m not sure if they were just trying to make a point, or if this was a true story. Either way, this would not be the first time something like this has happened.
Far too many entrepreneurs are spending a small fortune in order to learn how to make money online. It doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, you can start your online business for next to nothing. I actually believe it’s your “lowest-risk” business opportunity, but only if you do it right.
The Internet Has Changed The Game
The Internet is revolutionary for business because it’s inexpensive to get started. You can have a website up and running for as little as $5/month. You don’t need employees, office space, or a big investment in infrastructure. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that starting an online business is considerably less risky than offline alternatives.
Unfortunately, people seem to take an offline approach when starting an online business. They start by saying, “well, I’ll probably need a few thousand dollars to start a business”, and then they find ways to spend that money. Needless to say, there are plenty of Internet marketing gurus that are ready and willing to take advantage of this mentality.
Ad networks are one of the most inefficient ways to make money online. In this video, I’m going to explain why bloggers use ads, why they aren’t effective, and some alternatives to consider.
Are you looking to make money from your blog? Most publishers turn to ad networks as their primary source of revenue, but they rarely make a significant income. Read on below for several reasons to remove ads, and discover alternative strategies that are proven to be more effective. More »
People often ask me, “What would you do to make money online if you had to start over from scratch?” This is a question that has bugged me for a few years now. I’ve been wanting to simplify all my proven strategies into a single formula.
Well, after a few scraped outlines and failed attempts… I finally put together a system that sums up exactly what I do to make money online. It’s called Three Steps To Online Success, and it’s a free eBook that anybody can use to start their own online business.
This book explains three fundamental steps that lead to online profits. I don’t hold anything back. In fact, these are the exact strategies I have used to bring in millions of dollars over the past few years.
The system is simple, but not easy. If you are looking to make an “easy buck”, this is not for you. However, if you understand that all good things take a little hard work and determination… read this book. I’m very confident that you’ll be glad you did, and I’m putting my entire reputation behind it.

There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to using social media as a marketing platform. In this video, I explain a simple and efficient strategy that builds on proven business principles. The marketing behind Conan O’Brien’s recent announced comedy tour is used as a primary example.

When it comes right down to it, building a successful online business is simple. However, there is a big difference between “simple” and “easy”. Simple means everyone can do it, but easy means everyone will do it. When everyone does something, the reward for doing it quickly disappears.
Climbing mount Everest, running a marathon, learning to play an instrument, getting into shape, starting your own business, reading for 30 minutes a day, following through on your goals, and working hard are all simple ideas. However, that doesn’t make them any easier to accomplish. The most rewarding things in life are never easy.
Easy is the road to mediocrity. It is the path of dreamers that are not ready to take real action. Don’t settle for easy. Instead, set simple goals and then choose to take action each and every day! More »
