How To Get Started With Online Marketing

I admit that “How To Get Started With Online Marketing” isn’t a very awe-inspiring title for a blog post..

…but I still get emails from people who are overwhelmed at all the directions in which they’re pushed, pulled, cajoled etc…

So here are your choices for getting started with online marketing:

Promote business opportunities – a regular favorite but authority and a list is really needed here. Build a home business review site and do nothing but review home business opportunities.

Product launch affiliates - follow or get ahead of big product launches and get set up to promote these ahead of the launch dates so your sites are page #1 on the search engines during the product launch phase. Helps to have “incredible” $1,000.00 bonuses here …you know a bonus offering you tons of ebooks and stuff if you would only buy from them

Niche Affiliates - find hot markets and put up sites selling hot items in niche markets. Requires good niche research skills and ability to write knowledgeably on subject matter, (unless you know my tricks for this).

Passion-niche marketing - This is where you dig deep (or not so deep) and try to figure out what it is you know that is worth sharing on a web site in a monetized fashion.

Basically, you discover your “guru within” and next thing you know you have a lot of ideas and so much you want to write about.

Passion-niche marketing is where it’s at for beginners who barely have time to figure out how they want to make money because we’re ALL getting besieged with different ways to do it.

Passion-niches are really just niches that you have some interest in, or want to know more about, and are willing to put up a site for. The reason this is widely believed as the best way to get started with online marketing is:

People have busy lives

Many lack focus

…but many will find the time and the focus if there’s an interest behind their site and content generation.

IF the proper steps are taken, then results ensue quickly…

By proper steps what I mean is:

Doing proper research on the niche: make sure there’s decent amount of interest and monetization possible. How many people are buying, searching for solutions? Then offer the solution, or a variety of solutions on your properly built website.

Building sites properly – Starting with Keyword-optimized domain name and moving onward from there to proper on-page optimization, and knowing what to write about for traffic and how to build a site that sells.

Getting traffic - Backlinks and article marketing (done to utmost effectiveness which means doing things that have long-lasting permanent effects on your sites no matter how much time you can devote to your business)

Monetizing the site(s) - I love doing this part in my one on one sessions with Marketer’s Relief members. All you have to do is brainstorm for a bit, and the intense focus when your “marketing hat ” is on will basically reveal to you/me and the site almost every single way in which those sites could be monetized.

I’ve been reading your emails with interest and if what you suggest in this blog is a requirement to achieve some sort of financial independence on the internet, I guess I’m going to have to seek my fame and fortune some where else, theirs a saying your probable familiar with that say’s ” you can lead a horse to water but you cann’t make it drink ” and in my case trying to learn things that don’t interest me is a complete waste of time, thanks for helping me see the light.

Hey John, I understand, and thans for the feedback. It isn’t for everyone and sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is throw them a reality check so they don’t waste months and years doing stuff they don’t like nor of interest to them.

HOWEVER,

Making money is fun, and it is interesting, and once you overcome those initial lack-of-interest hurdles and find yourself making an income, the interest suddenly appears out of nowhere because you know this works and you know there’s real potential behind it.

I wouldn’t give up just yet, just find something that’s somewhat related to a passion and or skill you have and go from there…

Good Luck!
