1. When choosing your target market in the plethora of industries online, it’s really important that you niche down. In other words if you like beauty, choose to focus on beauty for the face. Or even more niche than that, lipsticks, or eyeshadows used in india. Do you get my drift?
2. Go for something you’re passionate about or ‘fanatical’ stuff, or hobbies. Check out what’s trending on the market. Pick your micro niche with a great demand and you’ve started well.
3. Now, you first need to get your Domain Name. This should be related to your niche, keep it nice and short and try to avoid dashes eg sausages-for-you.com
4. Domain names are less than $10.00 anything over and you’re wasting money, try namecheap.com or godaddy. Look around, there are loads on the market.
5. Now when it comes to hosting, I recommend hostgator, that’s what I use and they have a great reputation If you have any queries, they’re online help is fantastic and they will help to resolve that query on the spot!.
6. For your blogging, use Wordpress. It’s free and can be learnt very quickly. There are also 100’s of free templates and themes and plugins which you can use. Nowadays you don’t need to know html. If you’re looking to do affiliate marketing check out fastincomesystems4u.
7. Now, it’s crucial and I cant emphasize it enough it is is vital as an internet marketing newbie to build a list. This is the lifeblood of every successful marketer. The Relationship that you build with your list is Gold. Separate your prospect list from your buyer list, know the ones who will keep buying from you. As it’s averaged out that one name on your list represents $1.00. So do the math.
”To be or not to be’…Well not quite the question…but close enough! You see you could be the person contemplating the subject of the above. To help you on your decision, let’s consider the great ‘article find’ below.
(BTW do remember to share your opinions with us and our readers, comments, as you know, always appreciated!)
“The “Double opt-in vs Single opt-in” argument is as old as my grandma’s radio. Some say it’s better to use Single opt-in because often only about 50% of people confirm, which means you get half of the leads you actually generate.
Others agree that Double opt-in is a smart move in a long run since response rates are much higher and there’s no way to get in trouble for SPAM, since the prospect has to double-confirm that he wants to be on your list.
During a recent list building event, Ryan Deiss shared an insight on the issue. He said that he always uses single opt-in, because at the end of the day-he makes more money that way. The young guru says that by driving more “instant” traffic to his offers-he is able to get more “customer” signups which are far more responsive than the regular “I’ll download your stuff for free” peeps.
Today, I got to thinking about the different internet business model types …and so I found this great little article on this topic…maybe it’ll have you thinking too….
There are many different methods of making an online income. In reality, they are all very similar to the business models you see in the offline world. You can sell goods and services, you can produce products for wholesale distribution, you can sell information, you can sell tools to help people in their own business model, you can sell advertising, or you can provide consulting services.
Do you see a common theme in all of these models? That’s right—to have a viable business, you have to literally provide some kind of a good or service that adds value to someone or something, either online or offline.
I think that when people think about going into business offline, they look for a need in their community and try to fill it. Online, they tend to think, OK, what can I do to make a lot of money? There is a huge difference between the two. Online, I think people really believe that if they put up a web site and sell something, the money will just come in. It is simply not an accurate thought, but I think that just about everybody has thought it at one time or another.
So to create an income online, you must meet a need, just like you would in the offline world. You meet that need by producing, developing, distributing, or brokering a product or service. That is just about it. You will never earn long-term viable income from schemes and scams, no more than a bank robber will earn a long-term viable income robbing banks.
Here are some of the basic online business models you can find on the web…
Both are automated video uploading software that gets your video distributed and seen by search engines resulting in higher rankings on google. You can upload video and have them sent to multiple social networking sites. Tube Mogul will get your video seen on 15 sites and Traffic Geyser approx 30 plus has a host of other features. Anyhow, I found this video on youtube which gives a great little review on both these sites. Check it out now.

Web video marketing is growing in importance for every business. There are SO many ways to use web video but for me and many other business owners one of the primary goals isTRAFFIC GENERATION.
As said, there are lots of ways to make money using YouTube and all the other video sites out there, particularly with the use of video distribution sites such as Tube Mogul.com or TrafficGeyser.com. (click the links for a review)
YouTube has had an immense impact on the culture of people across the world. Many people use YouTube solely for entertainment, promotion and marketing, pleasure, research and of course making money for paying bills. However for inernet marketers this is a HUGE opportunity to dominate their field or niche.
Video sale letters are absolutely smoking! (and if you’re good with PowerPoint and Camtasia (or Camstudio), you can make money at home by offering your services creating presentations. An idea not to be snubbed at!)
Anyway…I recently visited Jani G’s blog and he’s put up a great post on how to use video marketing as part of your internet marketing strategy!
