How to make money with your own internet business
Joel Teo
Many people fail to realize how they can really make money with any internet business and wonder around online joining the next best craze online. This article hopes to address the key things that one has to do to make money with any internet business and lift your spirits somewhat with a clear roadmap to online success.
Internet mlm business or affiliate programs
When someone first starts out online and has no personal product of your own, the best way to make money online is to choose between an internet mlm business or an affiliate program. The reason for this is that by following an established system, one can save time reinventing the wheel and the sales process. These companies will handle all payments for you and ship the goods out on your behalf. You make money with these programs when someone purchases something from your referral link. The key difference is that an internet mlm business makes you money on a continuing basis so when I make a sale, I make it for life as opposed to an affiliate program which gives me a one time commission. Personally the best bet is to use a combination of both internet mlm programs and affiliate programs to suit the type of website that you ultimately create so as to make more money online.
Keyword research
Before you start promoting anything online, you would want to know what keywords your customers are looking for. Its no good having a great product that no one knows of by the name you are promoting it online. A good free tool that is available online for keyword research can be found at http://www.goodkeywords.com. Once you figure out what is a good keyword to describe whatever you are promoting online, you can then start making plans to promote and advertise your products online. Good keywords are the key to any good internet business marketing campaign as can be seen below. The better the keywords chosen the more money you will make online.
Create a website
Making Money online generally requires you having a website. A simple brick and mortar example would be a shop front for your products online. It is hard for someone to purchase something when they have nothing to look at. In addition it is not actually that difficult to build a money making website today as there are many point and click resources available online. http://www.sitebuildit.com/bizopsg.html has for instance a powerful point and click builder that helps you with keyword analysis and helps you build a powerful traffic generating storefront. A well designed website with good of information relevant to your target audience will help you generate more sales than you ever thought possible. Plus once you get lots of website traffic to your website, you can start selling advertising space and make more money for your internet business.
Promote your website
Many people when they are first starting out try traffic popunders and multiple website hits but in my experience these all do not really work. The secret to all this is to get targeted website traffic, meaning you want people who are searching for a specific keyword online to find your website as opposed to people who are surfing randomly which is what some of these website traffic ideas seem to talk about. What really works is paid advertising and learning how to do some search engine optimization.
Paid advertising with Payperclick search engines allow you to target many keywords that are relevant to your website and you pay only interested people to visit your website. Search Engine Optimization on the other hand, if done well can bring you lots of search engine traffic from the search engines which can give you highly targeted website traffic. The more targeted website traffic you drive to your website the more sales and the more money you will make with your internet business.
In conclusion, there are generally several things one has do at the same time before you can start making money with your internet business. Making money online is not that difficult but it does require consistent effort and planning. A well thought out business plan and monetization strategy can save you lot’s of heartache later on and make you more money in the long run.
