First of all, You need to come up with a plan. You need to ask yourself, "Where Do I see myself, say five years from now? " You see, there is more online marketing than ,merely designing a website. You need to design an online business that will not cause you tos ay"Oh where is my next pay cheque coming from?" You should design a business that will make you enjoy life more. You should be able to wake up each morning with a bright smile on your face. Most importantly, do not burden yourself with too many tedious tasks. If that's your intention, delegate.
Probably the most important thing about designing an online business is considering your strengths and interests. This very important because as the famous old saying goes, "Life is too short." Why continue wasting away at a 'dead end job' you don't enjoy doing anymore instead of doing something you reall enjoy. And If you're not sure of what your strengths and weaknesses are, pick the brains of several family members and friends and get to them to list what they think are your strengths and weaknes them. Based on their feed back, you then proceeed to build your business. If you don't have any, and you're the type who likes to watch TV all day, Start now before end up poor.
If you're looking for a perfect way to make money, promote products that pay residual lifetime commissions. Inthis scenario, you get paid each time, you refer a customer to the merchant or the company you're representing. . In fact it's probably the most popular money - making tool on the Internet. Your customers becomes yours for life in that their continuous patronage of your products guarantees you a lifetime of riches. Unlike, other affiliate programs, you only have to do the work once.
You can also promote your products by starting a newsletter. This is very important because through the newsletter you create trust between you and the customers, and once they trust the product you're pormoting they'll keep coming back for more. Also, the newsletter whets the customers' anticipation because each month or each week, they'll be looking forward to more information from you.
While planning your site, find a niche that you're comfortable with and put all your energies into it. Do as much research as possible about that niche and find out what the target audience wants or are interested in. By target audience , I mean the audience you're trying to reach out to. There is no set time frame for this stage but usually 6 months to a year will ber an ideal time to get to know your audience. Once you've gained enough experience you can then go on and buy "failed websites" ie websites whose owners have given up on them, and turn them into success stories.
Last, and most important, keep it simple . It's good to do research but please don't overdo it. Someone of us come up with these elaborate 10 year plans and up getting stuck in a rut permanently. If you're one of those DESIST NOW. Star with a simple website that will bring you income regularly . The easiest route for most people is through affiliate programs and Adsense. Also, please don't rush, You may harbour ambitions of being the Bill Gates of Internet Marketing, but you do need to do your internship first by creating a simple website in a niche that is not too competitive. If you do all the right things you should generate income for years to come from this simple site
Happy Trails!
