This shouldn't really scare you because many people jump on the Internet to seek their fame and fortune as if this were a gold rush. All these people digging for gold all over the Internet, but so many of them have no clear intent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first thing to understand about starting a online business is that you can have yourself set up to do business online in a matter of hours. It's almost too easy to become an affiliate or network marketer. They should make things a little harder so people have to work for it more. Most people will fail within the first few months of going into business online because they are not working smart. Before setting up your website and starting your own business, do some homework first. Take some notes and do some research for yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do what you love to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With so many different areas online that you can start a business in, find an area that you really like doing and are good at. We will have our own unique gifts. Some people are great at organization and love to square things away. Others love to write copy and motivate. Then still others have a real creative streak, a flair for graphic design or web design. When you discover your talents and gifts, the rest of it all seems to just present itself to you. Sometimes, it can be that easy but not always.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Niche Markets&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Internet is saturated with everyone trying to market almost everything, but not quite. Finding those niche markets is the real key to thriving with an online business. With competition being as stiff as it is today, discovering those niche markets for yourself will give you multiple streams of income. As an example: Pet supplies is pretty general. Distilling this down further and you have dogs. Distill this down even further and you might arrive at "dog food". Distill this down even further and you would have a niche market with "organic dog food". Consider that recently, major brand pet food was not very safe and was responsible of the deaths of quite a few pets. People who own pets consider them to be family members and want them to be safe. There are many dog owners that are still in search of healthy food choices for their dogs. This market will not be tapped out for quite some time. This is an example of a great niche market opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The important thing is that you have been thinking about starting an online business for yourself. Don't lose yourself in the steps or the research. Set your course and get going! The Internet is not going to wait around for you forever. You will never know everything that there is to learn before starting your business venture. Like real life, we all learn as we strive ahead. It's only when you take action that you will suddenly realize that you are online doing something you love to do, and everything is coming together for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brian Nelson has been working in the corporate work force for the past 15 years and is now making the move to become a stay-at-home Dad.

Snow&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your success in online business will basically be determined by two factors:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) Are you a focused and determined internet marketer? and&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) Through your internet marketing campaigns, are you able to build solid relationships with targeted prospects, and in turn, help them see value in your business and a leader in you?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You probably already know if you're a good internet marketer. I mean, you're either generating leads or you're not...it's pretty simple. If you learn the correct way to market your opportunity online, then you'll save yourself the agony of trying to actively convince and sell to people who never wanted to be sold to in the first place! There won't be any cold calling, or trying to work your warm market of family and friends. Instead, your marketing will be laser-targeted to the individuals who are actually looking for what you have to offer and eager to join your business. This is called "attraction based marketing."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you pinpoint your target audience, then you need to deliver useful content to them - content that will assist them on their path to success, while at the same time establishing you as a leader. Remember, the more insightful and generous your content is, the more your prospects will trust you and the more likely they will seek you out as a mentor. You should make a conscious effort to add value each and every time you publish content online. Making direct sales pitches, or leading with your opportunity is "old school" marketing that just doesn't work anymore. Note that 97% of people in online business fail because their marketing strategy is comprised of upfront sales pitches. If you want to attract affluent, motivated entrepreneurs to your business, don't do this. Intelligent entrepreneurs hate being sold to!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Part of successful internet marketing is being able to tell your own story and convey to others what has worked for you. If you can clearly articulate how you've found success, a prospect will have a better idea whether or not they can emulate your path and succeed as well. If your story is vague or uncertain, however, you won't instill much confidence. Be candid, direct and unselfish in your giving of knowledge. If you do this, then you will attract the right people. The great thing about attraction based marketing is that the traffic you generate is free.

Ideas however, will never become a reality if you don't implement them and immediately take action on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are simple steps to follow before you take action on your brainstormed idea that should help you reach a conclusion. You need to establish whether your idea might be profitable or is less likely of being profitable and these steps will assist you in selecting profitable business ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very effective way of identifying profitable online home business ideas is by asking yourself what are your strengths. Do you have the specific strengths for such online business ideas?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't happen to have strong strengths for a particular &lt;a id="KonaLink2" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_617427_3.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;business &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;opportunity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or subject, ask yourself; are you prepared to learn and how long will it take to develop the knowledge and skills required in order to become the strongest new contender in your niche?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key for precisely knowing or getting close to the best of you is to compare your past experience and knowledge with your present. Once you have found the answer to this yourself and if your strengths will assist you in the start of a potential profitable career, then you need to put your knowledge to work and prioritize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask yourself further questions like; are you prepared to make the commitment to turn your &lt;a id="KonaLink3" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_617427_3.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 102, 153); color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;online &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 102, 153); color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;business &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 102, 153); color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;idea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; into reality; are you prepared to make sacrifices and put in the time, effort and work required? Honest answers to these questions will determine whether you transform your idea into reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could consider asking relatives and family members about the online business ideas. However, an immediate word of caution being; if your relative doesn't have any experience in how your brainstormed idea can take on its own positive life, he or she is unlikely to be able to provide you with what you need to hear and provide you with clear cut ideas on how to put your ideas into action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is really important that you be very careful with whom you choose to share your ideas. When we have new ideas your vulnerability to eliminating them increases, because of negative feedback and truer than ever, the greatest ideas are most often the ones that many will find crazy when it comes to an online &lt;a id="KonaLink4" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_617427_3.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;home &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;business&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cynthia Minnaar works full-time from home online and invites you to visit www.cyns-home-biz.com where she will share &lt;a href="http://www.cyns-home-biz.com/"&gt;online business ideas&lt;/a&gt; with you.

The problem usually is finding the motivation to start writing. There are a lot of good reasons to publish and article and I personally use them for motivation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all I actually like writing. Still, there are days where no amount of love for the craft can get me past that blank screen. Those days are tough. These are the days where I know I have to force it. I also know that as soon I get past that it gets easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I love writing it's my dream to make a living by doing so. I'm getting there, slowly, but I'm getting there. So articles are used to earn money, how? Well there are a number of different ways, but the fact is that money can easily be a motivation. A good motivation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the ways to earn money writing articles is by getting paid by someone to write it. That's an awesome motivator. Not only do you get some additional cash flow when the article is done, you now also have a deadline. Deadlines are one of the best motivators I know of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Articles are also a great tool for promotion. Whether it's self promotion or promotion of a product or a business. Being a published author does wonders for your credibility as I'll be getting into. So getting cheap promotion is another great motivator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the things you can promote through an article is a website. Now most article &lt;a id="KonaLink1" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_608138_15.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;directories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; don't like a lot of promotion in the article, but you're allowed to have a link to your website in the author box. Not only does that allow people who read the article and click the link to visit your website. It also increases the amount of one way links to your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The credibility gained by publishing an article can not be underestimated. If people like what you write they will see you as an authority on the subject. Being an authority earns you trust, which may lead to purchases, site visits and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who would you rather buy a product from. Somebody you don't know at all or somebody who is a know authority in her field? That was an easy one, wasn't it? Becoming an authority through article writing will not only give your site more visitors it will also make buyers out of potential customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you're not trying to sell anything. Maybe you just need to reinforce your position as an expert (that's still selling though). Articles can do that too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you don't want to gain anything for yourself. You just want to raise awareness about a subject. That's great! That probably means you're emotionally involved in the subject. Being emotionally involved is the greatest motivator there is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If none of the above motivates you then what? Well, maybe article writing isn't for you. However, there is one trick that can usually get me going when all else fails. Taking a walk. Yeah, that's right! Taking a short walk usually gets my head spinning with ideas that I just have to write about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more useful tips &amp;amp; hints, please browse for more information at our website:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.effective-contents.com/"&gt;http://www.effective-contents.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.articlemarketing.reprintarticlesite.com/"&gt;http://www.articlemarketing.reprintarticlesite.com     &lt;!-- google_ad_section_end --&gt;       &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.articlemarketing.reprintarticlesite.com/"&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="articleCopyright"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.articlemarketing.reprintarticlesite.com/"&gt;This article is free for republishing&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_608138_15.html"&gt;http://www.articlealley.com/article_608138_15.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8248104124163372877-6855735754842341661?l=bizbiz-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/feeds/6855735754842341661/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8248104124163372877&amp;postID=6855735754842341661' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/6855735754842341661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/6855735754842341661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/2008/08/great-advantages-to-article-marketing.html' title=''/><author><name>Hamid Mulyaredja</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oBwyV0Go_t0/S0zdBlo2ISI/AAAAAAAAAcI/KCWuRe678uc/S220/0_516671335l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248104124163372877.post-7480546311202905020</id><published>2008-08-04T12:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-04T12:40:44.252-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="articleInfoBox"&gt;    &lt;div style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="articleTitle"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Online Home Based Business for Real Profit is Possible&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div class="articleDate"&gt;25th July 2008&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;div class="articleInfo"&gt;Author: &lt;a href="http://www.articlealley.com/author_1_118761.html"&gt;Sushil Kumar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Today we can easily claim to be a top home based &lt;a id="KonaLink0" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_590565_63.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 102, 153); color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;business &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 102, 153); color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;idea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; among online home based businesses.

Over time if you refer a lot of people to these particular online networks you can make a full time income as an affiliate, and also generate a lot of cross-referral business and joint venture partnerships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that this form of networking is a powerful pathway for all business owners and entrepreneurs to expand their business and add additional layers of profit to their core practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I encourage you to research more into online networking and grow your informal network of business colleagues, customers, and suppliers so you can co-create more profitable and unique ways to do &lt;a id="KonaLink4" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_560675_3.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;business &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;online&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a number of things you should look for when researching such business networking hubs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. You gain access to a free 7-steps course that has literally "Tonnes" of free information, steps, video's and books on how to attract more clients to you. It should all be complimentary information that "benefits" you up front (even if you decide to do nothing with that particular online network).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Access to some form of online presence. A good &lt;a id="KonaLink5" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_560675_3.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;online &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;business&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; networking hub, will offer keyword focussed and optimized web presence as part of their service to you. This might mean you'll have a multiple web presence (because you have a website already, however having multiple presences online is becoming more "crucial" to online success these days). Many of the top internet marketers don't have just one, they have "100's" of sites, some making good income and others not so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The opportunity to connect with others online is fantastic, but if you can't push out what it is you do in their networking and resources area, you're most likely going to go unseen. Therefore, multiple opportunities to Joint Venture, and distribute your business activities is a must have and not many of the free business hubs have this functionality, I haven't even seen it in too many paid networking hubs, but it's definitely something you need to be alert to look for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Should you wish to become an affiliate of a particular online networking portal, they should offer a good affiliate program that offers re-curring monthly payments that grow as you help them grow, this is the fairest way to create an income in alignment to effort from each affiliate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. They should have very good cross promotion features so you'll reach thousands of members over time, who'll want to work you and your business partners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I encourage you all, to become part of, and learn about online attraction marketing processes and online business networking.

Both these forms of online marketing are aimed at getting highly targeted visitors to your website by making your website rank on search &lt;a id="KonaLink2" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_555644_64.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;engine &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;results&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for the keywords that you are targeting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ideally a business needs to utilise both, organic Search engine optimisation as well as Pay per click advertising on order to get the maximum exposure for their &lt;a id="KonaLink3" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_555644_64.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;business &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;online&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. However cost and budget considerations often result in a business having to make a choice between using organic search engine optimisation or Pay per click advertising for their business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before discussing which form of online marketing is better for your business, it is important to understand the difference between organic search engine optimisation and pay per click advertising. Organic search engine optimisation refers to the &lt;a id="KonaLink4" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_555644_64.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;search &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;results&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that appear in the main centre section of the search results. Ranking within organic search engine results cannot be bought and ranking is a result of organic non-biased steps taken over a period of time. It is dependent on the overall popularity of your website on the internet in general among other on site factors. Organic listings are the results that appear in the main section of a search engine such as Google when we search for something. &lt;a id="KonaLink5" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_555644_64.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;Pay &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;per &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;click &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;advertising&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on the other hand refers to the paid listing or sponsored results that appear on the right of the search results page and not in main middle section of the page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay per click result is paid for and results are almost immediate to achieve. However there are many drawbacks to pay per click advertising as compared with Organic &lt;a id="KonaLink6" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_555644_64.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;search &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;engine &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;optimisation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The recent years have seen an exponential rise in competition and a steep rise in pay per click costs. Click fraud is another rising concern in pay per click advertising where an advertiser may be charged for clicks that are not by genuine customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Many surveys and search engine marketing studies have pointed than users are more likely to click on organic search results that appear on the main section of the page rather than the paid listings that appear as ads on the right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Organic listings are non-biased and cannot be bought. As such users trust the results more than the paid listings which are a result of paid advertising. The conversion rate for organic listings is much higher than for paid listings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Rising cost of pay per click. Pay per click campaigns are becoming more and expensive day by day as competition is increasing. It is common now a days to be pay as much as £1 or £2 per click for a op 5 position in pay per click campaigns like Google ad words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) The results of organic search engine optimisation campaign are more permanent that pay per click. In pay per click the results stop almost immediately at the end of the campaign whereas in organic listings the rank remains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the main advantages of organic search engine optimisation over Pay per click advertising are discussed above, Pay per click advertising has its advantages. Pay per click advertising is a much quicker way to get results. This is useful to advertise events and other marketing campaigns that cannot be planned months in advance. Organic search engine optimisation is a time consuming task and organic listings often take months to achieve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the long run investing an organic search engine optimisation is beneficial. Organic search engine optimisation has lower costs and offers a high return on investment. Once a favourable ranking has been achieved in organic search engine optimisation, it is more permanent. In pay per click the results will atop immediately when the payment has stopped and the campaign comes to an end. Organic search engine optimisation (SEO) campaign also has a wider coverage and generates maximum exposure for your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any organic campaign in order to achieve first page rank in Google will focus on a variety of techniques not only submission to search engines, e.g. directory submissions, press releases, article marketing and social media marketing. All this is important in order to generate quality back links to your website and will most certainly be covered in any organic search engine campaign that is run on behalf of your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Organic search engine optimisation is hence a better rounded approach to online marketing and has a much wider coverage. Although you may not see the result within the first few months it will be an extremely useful marketing investment for any business. The benefits of an organic search engine optimisation far outweigh any risks involved with investing in a one year organic search engine optimisation campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More practical website marketing tips and discussion can be found on the Search engine marketing and E-Commerce advice for &lt;a id="KonaLink7" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_555644_64.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;business &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;blog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; http://www.smallbusinessecommerce.co.uk.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.kronikmedia.co.uk/blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author, K.Singh is a web development and web design consultant in London regularly writing web design, e-commerce and search engine marketing articles for http://www.kronikmedia.co.uk. and http://www.estateagentwebsite.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;K.Singh&lt;br /&gt;Kronik Media, London&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; Company Websites:&lt;br /&gt;http://www.kronikmedia.co.uk&lt;br /&gt;http://www.estateagentwebsite.com&lt;br /&gt;http://www.kronikmedia.co.uk/blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;!-- google_ad_section_end --&gt;          &lt;div class="articleCopyright"&gt;This article is free for republishing&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_555644_64.html"&gt;http://www.articlealley.com/article_555644_64.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8248104124163372877-226356153514012101?l=bizbiz-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/feeds/226356153514012101/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8248104124163372877&amp;postID=226356153514012101' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/226356153514012101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/226356153514012101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/2008/06/online-marketing-for-small-business.html' title=''/><author><name>Hamid Mulyaredja</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oBwyV0Go_t0/S0zdBlo2ISI/AAAAAAAAAcI/KCWuRe678uc/S220/0_516671335l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248104124163372877.post-5391960330101869484</id><published>2008-06-07T14:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-07T14:53:30.218-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Online Business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internet business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online income'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='website'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mistakes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internet marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business opportunities'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="articleInfoBox"&gt;    &lt;div style="font-weight: bold;" class="articleTitle"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;3 Mistakes Online Business Opportunity Seekers Make&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div class="articleDate"&gt;07th April 2008&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;div class="articleInfo"&gt;Author: &lt;a href="http://www.articlealley.com/author_1_113073.html"&gt;Andrew Stone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; With so many scams online today finding the right online business opportunity can be quit a challenge. Most successful online entrepreneurs have spent large sums of money and time before figuring out what truly works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are three major mistakes online business opportunity seekers make&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. They sign up for a program because they think the product is the greatest thing since sliced bread. If you were selling brand new BMWs for $100 a piece and your car lot is out in middle of nowhere, no one will find you and your end result will be no sales. Don't look at the product, look at the business model and the &lt;a id="KonaLink0" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_512465_80.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;marketing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;system&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; the company has in place. If they have a decent product, websites that convert and a system you can plug into to get people to your site, your chances for success will increase dramatically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Look closely at the quality of training they offer. One of the most common practices is to get people into an opportunity then sell them on the back end with various eBooks on &lt;a id="KonaLink1" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_512465_80.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;internet &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;marketing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. A solid company will have live webinars and step by step videos in their back office that teach you how to market your product on the internet. This should be offered to you at no additional cost. Remember, traffic is the life blood of your &lt;a id="KonaLink2" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_512465_80.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;online &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;business&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, without it you have no business at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Many online business opportunities claim they have great support, then you sign up and find there is little to no support at all. Look for a phone number and call it before signing up to get a better feel of how much support they actually offer. Watch for two numbers, some will have a number for new online business opportunity seekers and a separate number for support. Many companies will answer the phone to sign you up, but once you join getting through on the support line is next to impossible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an example of what a solid online business model should look like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After joining your online business opportunity you should be set up with a lead capture page and a &lt;a id="KonaLink3" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_512465_80.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, this is a simple but very powerful model for making money online. The biggest obstacle new people have is getting traffic to their system. This is where the companies training comes in, they should teach you the skills necessary to start getting people to your lead capture page. When a potential prospect arrives at your lead capture page they will have to put in their name and email before being forwarded to your website. Their name and email is captured in an autoresponder. An autoresponder is a program preloaded with a series of follow up emails that are sent out automatically in a structured sequence. This puts your follow up marketing on autopilot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One tip is to look for online business opportunities that sell high end products. This will allow you to become what is called self funded. Let's say you make $1000 sale from your online business opportunity. You then put that $1000 into paid marketing methods on the &lt;a id="KonaLink4" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_512465_80.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#006699;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153) ! important; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;internet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. If that $1000 makes you $4000, you reinvest a $1000 and do it all over again. A combination of free and self funded marketing can send hundreds even thousands of people a day to your lead capture page, resulting in exponential growth in your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finding the right online business opportunity can be just as easy as it can be hard. The difference is knowing what to look for when examining different opportunities. There are other variables to look for but the basics I have mentioned here should point you in the right direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrew Stone is an internet entrepreneur who enjoys the benefits of working from home.

So let’s get started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Help Me Market A Small Business Online&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturation is not possible in this day and age. I always hear the question from people, is saturation possible in a business or not. And it can be, depending on what in the world you are doing. If it is a ponzi scheme or something like that, yes, there is saturation, because it is only meant for the short term. There is really nothing there, no substance, nothing there, just something thrown together so a person can make money on a program. Usually the program does not last, it gets shut down by the government really quick or the owners take all the money and go off shore and you never hear from them again. Either way it is over and done with shortly because it just does not last, that type of thing does get saturated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But with a real program, with real products, and it has substance of value to it, there is no saturation, especially something that is really needed in the marketing place. For instance, in the program that I am in right now we have something that is really needed in the market place and that is marketing. Not only do we teach you about marketing but we also teach you about business savvy, things that will help your business. We also give you tools and things that not only will help you in this business but any business that you want to do in the future. If you are in college, if you want to be a doctor you have to go through some kind of schooling, usually eight years of schooling just to become a doctor, and during that time you usually do not get paid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is a sacrifice that they make. Any area in the medical field you probably can make pretty good money. I think doctors base salary is somewhere between a hundred and twenty to a hundred and fifty or a hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year, and it goes up from there. It depends on whether you are a surgeon or what type of specialty you go into. It can go up to three or four hundred thousand a year. That is the sacrifice that they make by learning their skill in order to make that type of money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also saturation cannot happen if you know what you are doing. When you know how to market, there is no such thing. As a marketer, if you are marketing and we are talking specifically about pay per click, this marketing method called pay per click, let us take an example like a newspaper. Let us say that you have a few local newspapers that you advertise in, even if there is only one in your area, let us say you advertise in this program, or some other product, you have your ad down, you ad is pulling, you have tested it and tweaked it over a few months, and you had a good ad in there and you were getting good quality conversions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have your landing page or your lead capture page set up to where you are converting subscribers and you are getting sales. Well, it is possible in that same newspaper that you have the same marketing ad week after week, people might become use to your ad, so they might just look over it, the target market that is reading the newspaper. So what do you do in that instance and how long does it take for this to happen. I have seen it from anywhere from sixty days to six months, maybe even eight months. Is there any specific time, no. It just depends on where you are advertising at and how the people respond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you see your ad pulling and then all of a sudden it kind of starts slacking off, you need to change the ad as a marketer. Some people have run the same ad once they have tweaked it, or maybe they had a winning ad from the beginning without tweaking it, and all of a sudden for whatever product they are promoting on or off line, or whatever business opportunity, whatever they are promoting, they think it must be saturated or something is going on here, because I am not getting the response I use to get. No, that is not the problem, because you have to tweak your ads as you go along, that is marketing 101 since way back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have been listening to George Collins.

We’ve all heard the old saying, “No man is an island.” When it comes to online business this is especially true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a business owner who takes their business into the online world determines they will be self reliant and never accept the help of anyone then that individual will not be in business long enough to change their minds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is accepted fact that the greatest tool for long-term exposure to your website is through Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Without it potential customers can’t find you. It is unreasonable to expect that you can adequately develop a website without optimizing your website for the best possible search engine ranking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search engines also place a high value on sites that have links placed on existing sites. These ‘backlinks’ demonstrate to search engines that others trust your site. By placing your link on their website these other businesses indicate a trust and recommendation for your site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In effect the two strategies listed above rely exclusively on what others can do for you when it comes to your online business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shirley Temple once proclaimed in her movie Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, “I’m very self-reliant.” American westerns are filled with lines dealing with pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and holding down the fort. Many of us have grown up to believe if we want something done right we have to do it ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This thinking is in opposition to the rules associated with an online business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The online world can only exist because people share. Individuals share technology, but the also share links, reviews, blogs, forums and a wide range of other marketing strategies that find a commingling of interdependency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In online business you are as dependent on others as they may be on you. Unlike the word ‘dependent’, the term interdependent indicates a mutual dependency. In other words you are depending on others to help provide links back to your site while they are equally dependent on you (or others) for the success of their business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you really taken a proactive approach to networking? It’s possible you are reading this today and you’ve never considered asking someone else to place a link to your site on his or her online business site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can feel awkward depending on others to achieve online success especially if you’ve been lead to believe reliance on others is also a sign of imposing on their otherwise brilliant generosity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose it could be a deep-seated sense of pride that makes it hard to consider the need to ask others for help. However, the truth is depending on others is really what has made the Internet possible. The growth of this online world is comprised of a link of computers, networks and servers that are connected in a way that provides the maximum benefit for all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building an online business can feel a bit like trying to build a house of cards. Without the ability to rely on the other ‘cards’ around you it is virtually impossible to build.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interdependence. This is the essence of online business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Scott Lindsay is a web developer and entrepreneur.

All thanks to the invention of internet as it is the machine that breaks all the barriers for anyone to start a business on their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Making money online has been the trend for the last five to ten years and it will continue to be the trend for the next decades to come. The main reason for the success in this business is due to the low barrier of entry and all it needs is creativity on your side and you can create a multi-million business you can called your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leverage is the key to success in this online business as it allows you to sell their products to millions of people online. All you have to do is to concentrate on driving traffic to your site and i can assure you that you will be able to make money from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However to maximise the conversion of sales from your visitors, you have to create a simple and well copy written web site so that it can attract your visitors to hit the BUY button. The good thing about online affiliate business is that they are some business owners who have already designed website that are professional for their affiliate to use and all the hard work has been done for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all the things on hand, you can then concentrate on promoting your website and make money from it. Remember that your number one task in this business should be on advertising your website to get traffic. Do not be distracted by other stuffs as they will be no sales if there is no traffic to your site no matter how well design or how good the product is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best way to start on this affiliate business is to get yourself a good mentor that can provides you with a proven system that works for them and all you have to do is to follow the system full heartedly and i can assured you that you can make money far more than what you expect to make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When i first started in this business, i do this and do that for several months and make not a single sales. It was until i stumbled onto a site that can provide me full mentorship and what i have to do is to follow what my mentor suggest and let me tell you this, i make enough money to even allow me to quit my day job as an engineer in a few months time.

Preparing a business for sale is not as straight-forward as you may first think, especially if you want to get the best price possible. A business that has been set up in a formal and structured way, with specific operating procedures etc in place is always going to be more attractive to a potential buyer than one which is run on a more 'informal' basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually the easiest time to put these structures and procedures in place is when the business is first set up - of course, you can always add to them as the business develops and grows but a bit of time spent on this area in the beginning will pay huge dividends later on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the biggest problems that I see with online businesses (from the point of view of reselling them in the future) is that they are often so 'personal'. By this I mean that the website owner has built a business based around his/her own experiences and knowledge and this means that throughout the site there are numerous personal references. I am guilty myself and several of my own sites are built entirely on my experiences and this is reflected heavily in the website content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, this is certainly not a bad thing because the content that I have been able to develop with my experience and knowledge is valuable and earns me a good living BUT what if I wanted to sell my websites? It is unlikely that a buyer would want to purchase a site that had a reference to 'Richard Grady' and 'his experiences' on the majority of pages, which would mean that every reference to me on the site in question would have to be amended in some way. Because of the way that much of my content is written, this would, at best, involve a major revamp of the site and at worst might actually affect the sales of the business (who knows if the 'new' copy would sell as well as the original?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a tough call. In an ideal world, I would have set my website businesses up to be a bit more 'corporate' - this would mean that the websites gave the impression of having a company rather than an individual behind them. However, if I had done this in the beginning, would my sites be as successful as they are today? My feeling is perhaps not - I know that many of my customers have bought from me because they can relate to the situations that I found myself in as they are going through a similar situation themselves. Had my sites represented a faceless corporation, then perhaps my customers would never have become customers in the first place?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not sure I have the answer to which is a better approach - personal or corporate - there are advantages and disadvantages to both. However I can make a few suggestions as to simple things that you can do early on in your businesses life which will definitely help you when/if you eventually want to sell it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Keep accurate financial records - one of the first things a prospective buyer is going to want to know is how much money a business is making. It is no good just telling the buyer a figure and expecting him/her to believe you - your claim will need to be supported with documentary evidence. Also, don't fall into the trap of thinking that you will start keeping records once the business is making a decent income - that could be a year away and if you wait until then, you will have effectively 'lost' twelve months worth of your businesses history. A buyer will be far happier if they can see how a business has grown from day one rather than having accounts that start part-way into the game and show an immediate turnover of $100,000. (The tax-man will also be far happier with complete records!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Open a business bank account - so many people start off by running their business finances through their own personal account. This means that it can be very difficult to see which transactions relate to the business and which relate to the weekly household shopping bill. A business bank account is key to the business history and for the same reason as you should keep financial records from as early as possible, you should have a separate business bank account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Ensure that tax returns and other formal requirements are submitted on time - if you are keeping accurate records then there should be no reason why your business tax returns cannot be submitted (and paid!) on time. As well as saving you from being fined, it will also look good to a potential buyer - who wants to buy a business that has filed late returns every year and is regularly fined for late payments?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Speak to a business broker at least one year before you want to sell - a business broker will handle the sale of your business for you but it is important to get them involved in the sale process as early as possible. Doing this at least a year before you plan to sell is a good idea because it will give you time to put in place any suggestions that they may have as to how your business can be made more attractive to potential buyers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the one thing you shouldn't do is get hung up on making your business attractive to future buyers - the first priority is to get it earning you some money :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_section_end --&gt;           &lt;div class="articleCopyright"&gt;This article is free for republishing&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_1053_15.html"&gt;http://www.articlealley.com/article_1053_15.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;        &lt;div id="articleAuthorBox"&gt;       &lt;div class="authorBio"&gt;Richard Grady has been helping people earn online since 1998.

Ok, I've done this myself, I've seen it done by my friends and peers and I've recommended this to clients many times with HUGE SUCCESS!&lt;p&gt; It's actually very simple. 1. RAISE YOUR RATES 2. OFFER PAYMENT PLANS FOR YOUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; I just had a client last week come to me who was charging way under market value for her services and I basically told her to suck it up and increase her rates by 400%!! Yes, I told her to raise her rates by 5 times what she was charging clients now. She almost fell off her chair (I think, as we were on the phone).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; This new rate was actually the going rate for what she was doing. In fact I am paying someone to do it in my business right now every month!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Actually this happens all the time with services and products I actually need. When I run across people that I actually pay or could pay for what they do, I open my mouth and suggest they raise their rates! Am I a dummy or what? I could be paying much less for stuff if I would just shut up! Oh well....it's for the greater good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; So, this client of mine; if she takes my advice, she could literally increase her income by FIVE TIMES with no more work!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; It could be that simple if you are not charging enough OR if your perceived product or service value is a lot higher than what you are charging. If you don't know what your value is or what the going rate is - ASK ME PLEASE. I see a lot of different businesses every month and I know how to get you these answers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; As for payment plans; many peers of mine in the info-product industry (selling online products and services) find that they get a lot more orders and purchases if they offer payment plans - especially OUTRAGEOUS PAYMENT PLANS such as 18 payments of $19.95 or something like that. I do this for some of my products and services even if delivery of those products or services is well before their last payment due date and all of the payments are made online of course too by automatic payment which is the key. You don't want to go trying to collect checks after the fact, that's for sure. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;h1&gt;About the Author&lt;/h1&gt;     &lt;p&gt;© Copyright 2008 K.Sawa Marketing Katrina Sawa is an Award-Winning Relationship Marketing Coach who's helped hundreds of small business owners take dramatic steps in their businesses to get them to the next level in business, revenues and life.

If one or more of the mentioned reasons apply to you, then you're not alone. People who ventured to making money online have these reasons too. Here are five easy ways to make extra income using the Internet.&lt;p&gt; 1. Become a member of an affiliate program&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; By joining an affiliate program, you make commissions when you generate sales through the affiliate link. To do this, you promote other peoples products and/or services on your web site. When customers purchase any of these products through your link, then that's how you earn money. Most affiliate programs are free therefore, you don't need a big investment for this type of business. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; 2. Start blogging&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Blogs nowadays are one of the most popular ways to generate money online. To start your own blog, select a particular subject to discuss and provide people with useful information and encourage them to comment on your posts. This is how you drive traffic to your blog site. Keep your site updated by adding new articles on a regular basis. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; 3. Make use of Google AdSense&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Another easy way of making money is to rely on the use of Google AdSense. Provided that you keep a regular flow of traffic on your web site, a percentage of visitors would likely click on the ads that interest them. Just be sure never to break any of the rules the Google has implemented upon using Adsense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; 4. Join Internet auction sites&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; There are things that are no longer useful to you yet they may be a treasure to other people. Sites such as eBay allows you to sell your items by posting your items condition, price, etc. You can just imagine the number of people who visit these sites when they are looking for items unavailable to where they reside. Lots of people have made great success by simply selling their used products. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; 5. Provide people with product reviews&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; There are sites on the Internet who pay you for every product review you send. Note that prospective customers would like to be given feedback before they purchase an item. The Internet is the most widely used tool when it comes to information. Aside from earning money, you provide people with information that may be very helpful to them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;h1&gt;About the Author&lt;/h1&gt;     &lt;p&gt;&lt;a id="link_78" target="_new" href="http://www.explore-me.com/"&gt;Make  Money Online&lt;/a&gt; provides detailed information on How To Make  Money Online, Make Money With Surveys, With Affiliate Programs, Drive Targeted Traffic and more.

You are just in luck because there are plenty of people looking for writers, and you don't have to be a "professional" to make some money writing articles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this article, I am going to show you where to find these freelance online writing jobs and how to get them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are various ways for you to land a contract job as a freelance writer. But the biggest hurdle is finding an employer. You can try Elance but it will cost you some money. Another way to do this is to post ads on Craigslist advertising your service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But finding an employer is only getting half the job done. As a freelance writer, you have to convince your employer that your service is superior to the other competitors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To do this, I recommend you have a website up and going to establish credibility and trust. Had little website with your picture and a short biography and a short description of your service charge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will make it look more professional, and increase the likelihood of you getting contract work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finding work as a freelance writer online does not have to be hard, all you have to do is go where people are looking for freelancers, and have a website so you can build credibility and trust to get the job.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But if you are looking for writing jobs online -- more specifically, a freelance writer -- writing is not only way to make money online. You should learn the other ways to make passive online income, which isn't hard at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you're a complete beginner to making money on the Internet, come and grab a free DVD copy on how to make $3000 a month online at &lt;a id="link_74" target="_new" href="http://kennubo.com/newbiesuccess"&gt;http://kennubo.com/newbiesuccess&lt;/a&gt; -- this is a step by step blueprint.

Staying motivated and persevering over time could determine the make, or break of your online success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's important to use strategies that will help you stay motivated and keep your eye on the prize. It's easy to get discouraged and loose interest in your project when the results you're obtaining are less than you expected. Internet business, just like any other, does take time to build and it's really true that only the motivated survive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Top 5 tips for staying motivated and not loosing site of your goals:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1). Create a clear life plan of what you wish to accomplish. Include goals, dreams, the things that make you happy in life and refer to it often. I find it very beneficial to write out my goal, or print off a picture of my goal and/or dream and put it up on the wall near my workstation to fuel inspiration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2). Get adequate sleep every night. Scientists have proven that lack of sleep can seriously affect the chemical flow in your brain, which can drain you of inspiration, clarity and even throw you in to a depression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3). When you're working on a project that you anticipate will take a very long time and you're really not up to the task, think about what you would like to be doing when you've completed the task, something you really enjoy. This can help fuel new thoughts and give you a positive boost.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4). Find time for physical activity everyday (at least 30 min). Exercise can have a dramatic affect on your energy levels and the release of serotonin in your brain. You don't have to run a marathon everyday, just a 30 minute power walk, or a light run on the treadmill will do the trick.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5). Flourish your inspiration. Consuming foods/beverages that stimulate mental alertness and positive thinking can help immensely.

To do thing you have passion with, and generate income streams for you, and there are different types of passive income you can earn from setting up your business on internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So instead of searching for the most profitable business to start up, searching for the great money making schemes &amp;amp; highest money making products available, why not start an internet business by first evaluating on your own self, creating a business plan tailor-made to fit into your own lifestyle. This will be the most ideal and most profitable business to start up for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Identify your Passion and Interest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the best and ideal business one can ever go into. To do something you are interested in are the easiest business to start and work on. So the first step you should do is to brainstorm and identify all your passions and interests, or any field in your circle of expertise. Your desire business may not come from your most desire passion or interest because it is not about what you know best, but more on what others know least. Remember that you are building a business after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Find a Hungry Niche Market&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next step you need to know is who you are going to sell to by finding the hungry niche market. A Niche market is a group people searching in the internet for a solution to a problem and not finding many relevant results. There are two factors that determine the ultimate hungry niche market to go into. First, is the amount of traffic searching for the specify keywords. Logically, the more traffic, the hungrier niche is. However, the second factor also play a major role in a successful internet business is competition. You do not want to challenge a popular niche that already has many solution providers. You can do all these research to find the ultimate hungry niche market at WordTracker.com. WordTracker.com is a powerful site to analyze keywords traffic and competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore the key to finding the ideal niche market to go into is to find a specific niche keyword that don't get a lot of traffic, instead are much targeted. Because if you don't get a lot of traffic, you get less competition; and it cost you less expensive advertising for the specific targeted niche market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Create Products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having decided on the specific targeted niche market to go into, you will next decide on the product to sell. Since it is an internet business, it would be best for you to come out with digital products so that to save you lots of resources that is needed when dealing with a physical product. Digital products can be any solutions where niche searchers could purchase and deliver online. Products like eBook, music, information products in audio or video format, software, or even services. But if you really don't have a product to create, you can always become an affiliate marketer to sell other people's products and received huge commission for directing leads to their sale page. You can go to ClickBank.com or CommissionJunction.com to join any affiliate programs you wish to promote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Design &amp;amp; Build Your Website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to promote your product, you need a place to hold your leads attention before you can sell them what they are searching for. Registration of domain name, finding a web host, and designing &amp;amp; building a website are essential in any internet business. If you don't have the expertise in designing website, you can always get someone to do it for you. Try Elance.com, you can find varies outsourcing projects services there, from web design to ghostwriting services at affordable fee to select from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Write Powerful Sales Copy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, having your website set up in place is like having a well stock-up store. Your website needs a good sales copy to convert visitors into buying customers. This sales copy act just like a salesperson in your store. Before you can start writing, you need to know you unique selling proposition. What make your product superior to your competitors? Next, you need to know who your target market is, get into the mind of your target market, and sell them the ways they want to be sold. The first impression usually is the lasting one. Therefore your sales copy must have powerful headlines, grabbing your visitor's attention and draw them in to explore your site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pulling Traffic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one vast topic to discuss, which I have written and posted many articles solely on this area. Traffic pulling or traffic pushing are the key factors you need to pay more attention on especially when you first start an internet business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My strategy in advertising is to concentrate on building traffic puller network that works in long-term passively. Techniques such as article writing, blogging, social bookmarking, and SEO of website are excellent passive traffic puller. These are ways you can create long lasting traffic pulling effect to your site. And the best part is that these techniques are virtually cost free, and only take up part of your time and effect. Of course you can also adopt other forms of advertising means to get instant traffic to your site like Pay-Per-Click Ad, Ezine Ad, and Pop-under-window Ad etc. They cost you some penny to do it and save you time in return. But these techniques aren't generating passive traffic to your site so these techniques should be of secondary importance to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sell Advertising Space&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continue to attract traffic to sites by consistently provider visitors with rich content information. Once you succeeded in doing so, it put you through into another types of passive income opportunity by means of selling advertising spaces on your website. Google AdSense, or AdSter, AdBrite, are some service providers that you can tag on to earn passive income for you whenever visitors on your sites clicks the Ad put up by these service providers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you find my article contents useful.

Many of the ads you will find are for business opportunities or mlm companies. Not all of them are bad, but it takes a lot of work and a big network to make good to great money with them. Not to mention one of the keys to your success is having a great sponsor. One who is making six or seven figures to learn from. Most of the mlm type companies require a monthly purchase of products or a fee to host a cookie cutter website that won't bring you a lot of business without great marketing skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Think carefully before getting involved with anything that requires an ongoing monthly fee to get started. A great deal of them are product mills for crummy products with the promise of easy cash.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The trick is to have a plan, goal or focus like you do in any business endeavor. Just turning on your pc and going online won't make you money. I know you have heard the pie in the sky offers. It's not quite that easy! It would sure be nice, but nothing comes without some work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't try to learn it all. You will fail that way. You will quickly burn out from information overload and quit before you even get started.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Start by using Google to research for free the different methods to make money being online. Get a feel for what is happening in the online world. Read the blogs of other successful online marketers. Find out what is working for them. You will soon find which marketers advice you like. Pick one method to make money and get started.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Study the experts who have come before you and made money with the method you choose. Once you find a way to make money online that fits your personality go for it. Study as much as you can on the subject. Buy ebooks and video courses telling you how to earn money with that method.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last of all take action and start putting your studying to work. Just remember in the end without taking action nothing happens!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The sooner you get started the sooner you will start earning money. Also don't ever forget that the most important sale is the first sale. Whether the first sale is $1.00 or $1,000. Get out there and make money being online!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The internet marketing gurus' had it wrong. Anyone can go from zero to five figures in one month.

Everyone wants to make more money. And with the invention and astounding expansion of the internet, more and more people are starting an online business. You can sell your own product, or sell someone else's, provide a service, or sell a service - the list is endless. However, like any business, there are advantages and disadvantages of an online operation. This article attempts to outline some of these advantages and disadvantages. I'll also give some simple tips on overcoming the disadvantages and consolidating the advantages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many online businesses are run from home, which has it's own perils and pitfalls, if you atv shows, re not aware of them. Working from home, there are many distractions that can take away your focus from making the business successful. It is so easy to be distracted by kids, spouse/partner, the television, the fridge (:-), your backyard, friends, ... Losing your concentration on making your business successful is a business killer. A simple solution is to make time for each of these distractions - when you are with your family, be with your family 100%. When you are in your yard, concentrate on that. Record your favourite TV shows and watch them at an appropriate time. Set yourself break times and stick to them. Tell your friends when you are working - THIS IS YOUR JOB. Would they visit you if you were in an office whenever they wanted? Occasionally yes, but not all the time. This will allow you to focus on your business when you should be focusing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another disadvantage (and also an advantage at the same time) is than an online business is exactly that - ONLINE. Being online provides its own distractions. The internet is a VERY big place. Emails (you know the ones - not business related but fun to read) come in all the time and you just have to read them NOW. It is very difficult sometimes to focus on what you are doing, but that is exactly what you have to do. Re-examine your goals if you need reminding about what it is you are trying to achieve. Answer those emails on your own time, not your bosses (you, in case you've forgotten).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being online is a HUGE advantage over a traditional bricks and mortar business. The diversity, range of options to make money, people you can sell to, the list is endless. Congratulations on making the decision to move your business online - if you remember these hints, you'll definitely make your business successful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Greg Millican has been working from home for many years and has tried many different ways of making his home business successful.

Your job is to publish information, ideas, articles, tutorials and all kinds of good stuff your web visitor will be interested in. Think of yourself as a newspaper or magazine except your pages are not made of paper they are made of web!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are three components to having a successful website and you have to cover all three reasonably well if you want your publishing endeavor to be a success. I integrate all three of these things in this crash course so you will do it naturally and intuitively as you build you blog or website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Component #1: You, as a publisher have to provide a continuous stream of useful and valuable content to your web visitors. How many newspapers or magazines just publish one or two issues? Nope, keep it going.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Component #2:  Your content has to be of real value to your web  visitors. You can't just publish junk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Component#3: Your content has to be formatted in ways that the search engines see the value in it and understand it. This way you will get the good search engine ranking you deserve for having good content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Part 2: The Process, Or What to Do!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) Pick a subject or topic that you are passionate about or have a lot of information about. It could be anything from carpentry to telescopes, medieval warfare, stuffed animals etc... It is important that you are passionate about it because there is work involved and if you love the subject it won't be work, it will be a joy and a learning experience ---and you are more prone to keep going - keeping going is necessary according to component #1: Keep adding fresh content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) Choose a domain name or blog that has your subject keywords in it. If your subject is teddy bears then your domain name should have those words or related words in it. Something like www.teddy-bear-collectors.com or if you are using a free blog then http://teddybearcollectors.blogspot.com. See what I mean? Put the subject or very related words right in the domain name. This will help the search engines understand what your site is about. Very important and very useful. The engines will give you special treatment for that subject. And you will get listing faster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3) Whenever you create a new page for your website or blog always give it a good name that says what is on the page like mysite.christmas-teddy-bear-ideas.htm. Never name it something like page1.htm. I will cover this naming a little bit more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4) Now let's create some content - Generate a list of ideas for articles, tutorials and other things that your visitors might be interested in. This part is easier than it seems. Here is how to do it. Write down a bunch of major words in your topic and make them one to four word blurbs like this: (we will stick with teddy bears)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a) Teddy Bears&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;b) Teddy Bear Gifts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;c) Making teddy bears&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;d) Teddy bear prices&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;e) Where to buy teddy bears&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;f) Bears for children&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;g) Makers of teddy bears&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;h) Teddy Bear making ideas&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;i) Make your own teddy bear&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5) Ok, I think you get the idea there! Now go to this url ( http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com )and type each one of your line items one at a time and print up the results. What you end up with is a great list of what people are searching for in your subject area. This is a very important step! Do not skip this step. This tells you exactly what people are looking for in your subject, and more importantly, it tells you how they are looking and what words they are typing. Now, as an example I typed in "make teddy bear" and I came up with some great results: The first item is "Make your own teddy bear", the second is "How to make a teddy bear" and the third is "How to make a teddy bear costume. Ba-da-bing. I have a great list of projects and I know exactly what people want!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6) Now pick a search result that you like and that you would like to do or write about then write it! Take pictures, make notes and give it all to your web visitor. Focus on giving your web visitor the best you can do. Think about really solving the problem your visitor has. Hey, Go ahead and make a teddy bear costume, it's your job and well, a lot of fun.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7) Make your project search engine friendly. Make the subject of your article or project exactly what the search result is so If I tackle the "How to make a teddy bear costume" I call that article or project "How to Make a teddy bear Costume"!!! And if you remember from a bit earlier when I save the blog post or web page I call it that too! So www.mysite.com/how-to-make-a-teddy-bear-costume.htm is perfect. Naming the project and the page appropriately will cover Component #3.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8) Now let's do just a little bit more search engine optimization and make your page or pages really friendly to the search engines. If you are doing a web page make sure you add a description tag that really says what the page is about. In this case something like this: This is a project that will show you how to make a beautiful teddy bear costume for children ages 2 and up. This description will show up in the search engine listings so make sure it has both your keyword phrase "Make a teddy bear costume", and make sure it is appealing to people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9) Keywords - Make sure, if you are doing a web page you add appropriate keywords like teddy bear, make, costume and if you have a blog then add these keywords.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10) Okay, let's monetize our site: I recommend you do this process above for at least a month before you start looking for ways to make money. You want to have a decent collection of interesting projects, ideas, articles and related stuff before you start looking for the money. Once your site or blog has lots of stuff on it then sign yourself up for Google AdSense and some kind of affiliate program like the Amazon Associates Program. Put the snippets of code on your pages and you are ready to go! I suggest that if you are using amazon you go with products that you hand pick so they are exactly targeted to the subject of each web page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;11) Now repeat the process and write more articles and tutorials etc... Keep the content flowing and always target it to what your web visitor wants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ok, so what have we done? We have created a web publishing presence that is exactly targeted to a subject and is friendly to the search engines. People will really like your stuff and the engines will clearly understand it. In no time at all you will be getting good search engine traffic because they will love you and send people your way. It really works and it is all about a subject that you are passionate about. Does it get any better than that?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify;" valign="top"&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more practical advice on how to earn money with your small website visit the authors tutorial website at: &lt;a id="link_98" target="_new" href="http://www.stormthecastle.com/earning-revenue/index.htm"&gt;Little Webmasters with Big Dreams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Or visit his Blog: &lt;a id="link_99" target="_new" href="http://www.thecreativewebmaster.com/"&gt;The Creative Webmaster&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article Source: &lt;a id="link_100" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Will_Kalif"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Will_Kalif&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div style="border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 10px; padding: 0pt; background: rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ezinearticles.com/members/mem_pics/Will-Kalif_30620.jpg" alt="Will Kalif - EzineArticles Expert Author" border="0" height="90" width="106" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8248104124163372877-655515001436257373?l=bizbiz-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/feeds/655515001436257373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8248104124163372877&amp;postID=655515001436257373' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/655515001436257373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/655515001436257373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/2008/05/leven-steps-to-success-with-website-or.html' title=''/><author><name>Hamid Mulyaredja</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oBwyV0Go_t0/S0zdBlo2ISI/AAAAAAAAAcI/KCWuRe678uc/S220/0_516671335l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248104124163372877.post-8348880620833502124</id><published>2008-05-01T13:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-24T14:38:21.662-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='income source'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='make moneycomputer skill'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" class="art_title" &gt;Internet - Income Source&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="copyright"&gt;By &lt;a id="link_47" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Hyder_Khan"&gt;Hyder Khan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;For many people, the Internet is their sole source of income. They have quit their day jobs and are now living a life of luxury, free of the daily grind. They don't report to a boss. They don't have a set schedule. They don't have to be anywhere at a specific time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They get to spend time with their family. They get to take vacations whenever they want. They can work whenever and from wherever they want to. They make money while they sleep. They don't have to report to an office.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They can afford all of the good things in life that money can buy. They are hard workers who have put in a lot of time, effort, energy, and research, and made some sacrifices in the beginning. But now that hard work has paid off, and they now have a passive income stream that will generate money automatically for them for the rest of their lives. All they have to do is check up on their business every once in a while and tweak it as needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They reach a point where the Internet becomes a game to them. Once they learn the secrets of how the game is played, they eventually &lt;i&gt;master&lt;/i&gt; the game. The Internet becomes a cash machine for them. Even though they have all the money and material comforts they will ever need, and their family is being well taken care of, they continue to work hard on their existing Internet business or they venture out and build new Internet businesses. Not because they need to. But because they enjoy it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They also give back to their community and engage in philanthropy as well. They have a bright outlook on life and are hard-working go-getters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of these people started out in debt. Most of these people started out having no clue how to make money on the Internet. Most of these people had no business sense, nor did they have any technical computer skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But now these people are financially free.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="text-align: left; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; become the next &lt;a id="link_78" target="_new" href="http://www.wealthyaffiliatemarketing.info/"&gt;Internet millionaire&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article Source: &lt;a id="link_79" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Hyder_Khan"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Hyder_Khan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8248104124163372877-8348880620833502124?l=bizbiz-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/feeds/8348880620833502124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8248104124163372877&amp;postID=8348880620833502124' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/8348880620833502124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/8348880620833502124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/2008/05/internet-income-source.html' title=''/><author><name>Hamid Mulyaredja</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oBwyV0Go_t0/S0zdBlo2ISI/AAAAAAAAAcI/KCWuRe678uc/S220/0_516671335l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248104124163372877.post-7423472007573145731</id><published>2008-05-01T13:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-24T14:38:37.819-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='surf net'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='refferal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='make money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='passive income'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="art_title"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Getting Paid To Surf The Net -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Passive Income Opportunities Online&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="copyright"&gt;By &lt;a id="link_47" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Scott_Robinson"&gt;Scott Robinson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who can resist the lure of generating easy passive income? Not many people. But finding the perfect ways to generate truly passive income can be a difficult process. Sure there are many websites online advertising their passive income solutions, but consumers need to be wary of opportunities that seem too good to be true!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When looking to make money online, it is important to do your homework. A passive income system should be easy to navigate, have a strong track record, good user testimonials and not require a large initial investment. That is why so many people trying to make money online are finding themselves getting paid to surf the net.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are a variety of websites online that offer "pay to surf" systems, so it is just a matter of doing some research to find the program that best matches your passive income needs. Here is a detailed look at how three of these systems help members make money online:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Life Generation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New Life Generation (NLG) offers one-stop shopping for those looking to generate passive income online. This site operates a myspace-type atmosphere where members have access to a personal page with photos and videos, a blog, a forum, a portfolio page, a downline page and instant messenger tool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The marketing program is run through Trinity Marketing and is composed of three marketing levels each with different payout options. Members get paid to view selected websites and rate them. Each plan required more websites to view in a month, resulting in increased passive income generated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Referrals also play a big part in this program and members are paid two levels deep on referrals. It is a very complicated system that also requires members to purchase a debit card, pay monthly membership fees and keep active.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NLG is a very effective way to generate passive income online for those willing to really participate. This is not simply a "pay to surf" program. True results are realized when members are active in the forum, advertising their personal pages and creating downlines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ASD Cash Generator&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This passive income opportunity is best for small business owners looking to capitalize on Internet marketing. Web site owners purchase advertising packages which place their website in rotation for consumers and other business owners to view. ASD then pays advertisers a rebate to view a minimum number of sites each day - which insures that everyone's website will get viewed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Besides the passive income generated to reimburse advertising costs, a person can also earn up to 25% of their purchase. For instance, if a business owner purchased a $1,000 advertising package with ASD, they could view the featured ads daily to earn back that initial investment. Essentially, their advertising becomes free. Once that is accomplished, the advertiser can continue viewing ads and earn another $250 cash. Obviously, the larger the initial investment, the larger the passive income opportunity becomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Advertising packages start at $10 and go up as high as $12,000. There is also a free program that allows advertisers to make money on free ads. The ASD program is optimal for business owners who need to increase their visibility online and have the time to view other businesses' ads on a daily basis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cash Fiesta  &lt;/b&gt;  Cash Fiesta allows users to &lt;a id="link_90" target="_new" href="http://www.scottrobinsoninc.com/index.html"&gt;make money online&lt;/a&gt; in a different fashion. Once registering, participants download a special advertising bar called the "Fiesta Bar" that will be visible every time they are surfing the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Users earn bar points for every minute they are surfing the web. Signing up for special offers earns participants more points as does referring other people to the program. The dollar value for each point varies on a monthly basis depending on how many special promotions are signed up for in that particular month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Passive income really comes into play with the referral program. Cash Fiesta members earn points on referrals 8 levels deep. Participants earn 15% on first level referrals, so the more people a member directly refers, the more passive income generated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cash Fiesta is ideal for people who spend a lot of time online who don't mind losing screen space to ads. Although you get paid to view ads and participate in special promotions, true passive income is really accomplished through the referral program. People who choose Cash Fiesta as a vehicle to make money online should be prepared to promote it to friends and family.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many opportunities to create money online. The key is doing the research ahead of time and really finding the program that will best suit your individual needs. By doing so, the right online passive income program will emerge and you will be earning money in no time!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Scott Robinson is the owner of Scott Robinson Inc., an Internet company focused on helping people make money online through various &lt;a id="link_91" target="_new" href="http://www.scottrobinsoninc.com/portfolio.htm"&gt;residual income&lt;/a&gt; opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article Source: &lt;a id="link_92" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Scott_Robinson"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Scott_Robinson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8248104124163372877-7423472007573145731?l=bizbiz-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/feeds/7423472007573145731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8248104124163372877&amp;postID=7423472007573145731' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/7423472007573145731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/7423472007573145731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/2008/05/getting-paid-to-surf-net-passive-income.html' title=''/><author><name>Hamid Mulyaredja</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oBwyV0Go_t0/S0zdBlo2ISI/AAAAAAAAAcI/KCWuRe678uc/S220/0_516671335l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248104124163372877.post-172190223352681485</id><published>2008-05-01T13:42:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-24T14:38:48.052-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='build'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fast market research'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='search engine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" class="art_title" &gt;Lightning Fast Market Research&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="copyright"&gt;By &lt;a id="link_47" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dane_Clark" onmouseover="javascript:toggle_visibility('extendbio')" onmouseout="javascript:toggle_visibility('extendbio')"&gt;Dane Clark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;First and foremost you must know that you are the boss of this business and no one can tell you what to do or order you around anymore. This sounds great and is what we truly desire. If you have decided to start a business you have made a decision and no one can stop you. Well actually one person can stop you and that person is you. You have to put in the time and effort to start this business and build it based around solid fundamentals. You have a great opportunity to run a successful business and once you have put in the initial work you will actually have the option to put your business on autopilot and just collect the checks at the end of the month. Don't start shopping for million dollar mansions just yet you have to put in the work first. It all starts with market research and this may be the most tedious part of the entire process but hopefully I can make this task a bit easier with some basic tools and strategies that will speed up the process 10 fold.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now that you have a niche in mind you are going to have to perform some market research to find out if there is a legitimate market and cash being spent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may have already started the first step if you have some experience and even though it is very basic it has to be done. The task I am referring to is keyword research. The first free tool that I always start with is called overture and it is completely free, you can find it just by going to Google and searching for overture keyword tool. This is a free tool that has been used for many years and is still effective but in my opinion it is a bit outdated and at times is bit slow. I am not saying don't use it just don't take its results as gospel. Also note that the search volume per month on Google is probably double what overture data shows. Another tool that I find to be very accurate is at freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ Wordtracker is a great service that is updated frequently and they also offer a paid version that provides many great features. So type your main keywords into these tools and analyze the search volume per month on overture and search volume per day on Wordtracker. It is up to you whether you think there is a viable market based on the search engine volume for your top keywords.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your next step is to switch over to your favorite search engine whether it is Msn, Yahoo or Google. You will notice that every time that you do a search a listing of sponsored ads will show up on the right hand side of the results. I would recommend using Google as your data because it is hands down the leader in paid advertising. Once again type in your main key terms related to your niche and take notice of how many listings appear on the right side of the page. If you notice that there are an abundance of ads that is a good sign. You want a market with a healthy amount of advertising. Some may think this is bad but really it just proves that people are spending and making money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your third step is very easy because you don't even have to leave Google. All you have to do is start clicking on the sponsored advertising. The reason for this is because you will be taken to the merchant's site and it will help you to paint a bigger picture of the market. By going to the merchant's sites you can get an idea of what is being sold online because after all your business is based online. Also take note of the marketing process for each product. You may want to become an affiliate or create your own product down the road.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With these three tips alone you can weed out the profitable markets and save a few dollars on fancy software that brag of doing all the work for you. This research will only take you about half an hour tops and you will know if you have a firecracker or a dud in no time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information in market research and an overall business plan download my free video series and learn how you can build a business from scratch or explode your sales for your existing business at &lt;a id="link_78" target="_new" href="http://www.onlinemoneystarter.com/"&gt;http://www.onlinemoneystarter.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Download my free video series that will help you build a successful business from scratch or take your existing business to the next level so you can dominate your niche market at &lt;a id="link_79" target="_new" href="http://www.onlinemoneystarter.com/"&gt;http://www.onlinemoneystarter.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Copyright - Dane Clark - you are free to use this article on your site, blog or auto responder by agreeing not to change any content or modify any link to &lt;a id="link_80" target="_new" href="http://www.onlinemoneystarter.com/"&gt;http://www.onlinemoneystarter.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article Source: &lt;a id="link_81" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dane_Clark"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Dane_Clark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8248104124163372877-172190223352681485?l=bizbiz-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/feeds/172190223352681485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8248104124163372877&amp;postID=172190223352681485' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/172190223352681485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/172190223352681485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/2008/05/lightning-fast-market-research.html' title=''/><author><name>Hamid Mulyaredja</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oBwyV0Go_t0/S0zdBlo2ISI/AAAAAAAAAcI/KCWuRe678uc/S220/0_516671335l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248104124163372877.post-3716396608647569648</id><published>2008-05-01T13:42:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-24T14:39:07.033-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internet business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='unique content'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='make money'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" class="art_title" &gt;Starting An Internet Business Is Affordable And Obtainable&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="copyright"&gt;By &lt;a id="link_47" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Todd_Ash" onmouseover="javascript:toggle_visibility('extendbio')" onmouseout="javascript:toggle_visibility('extendbio')"&gt;Todd Ash&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Starting an internet business is easy and cheap but what you need to know is what you need to do in order to make money. There are many opportunities out there but you must know which one is right for you. Starting an Internet Business is a dream for a lot of people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most people start a Business, but fail after a short period of time spending their hardly earned money without seeing profits. Starting an internet business is not a difficult task but running a successful internet business can be a bit more difficult. There are thousands of people that have their own online business but many of them are not having any luck at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Accurate records can help determine the course of action needed to turn a profit. An experienced accountant or bookkeeper can provide an invaluable service where record keeping is concerned. Accurate records can help determine the course of action needed to turn a profit. An experienced accountant or bookkeeper can provide an invaluable service where record keeping is concerned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The end goal of course is enjoying the freedom and independence of working from home. So the question would be - Are you willing to take the necessary sacrifices to achieve your end goal? Another important thing is to make sure the site has some unique content. Buying one with unique articles which you will hold all rights to is ideal but can be costly. This is a great idea considering what is going on in the work place today. Having money coming in from more than just a paycheck is a smart thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will need a professional looking website to be able to run your internet business. A blog attached to your website is also recommended. Is this something you want to do part time around your job and family? Or do you have the time, and self-discipline to devote eight or more hours each day to it? There are some great tested products that will make your journey easier and successful in less time. Sponsors mentioned on the following pages are no-nonsense, time tested professionals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just remember you are starting a business. You and only you will control you success. One can't just expect one's product to speak for itself. Think of this, Apple making the iPhone and sticking it one store in Boise, Idaho. Well what do you think all of your posts are doing there?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After building a great web site with lots of excellent content you'll then be ready to open up for business. Another way to say it is you'll be ready it to the internet. Return visitors are the key to making profits. This is especially true if you get started building a business around a hobby or something you have a passion for. Many jobs today do not provide the fun they used to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Depending on you skills and present circumstances, you can always find a profitable home business that is suited for you.

I cant go into too much details here as I am limited on space, so if you want the details you will have to go to my website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But here is the basic steps:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;find products to sell online&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Find who is selling this product so you can affiliate with them or find who will drop ship for you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you are doing affiliate website you can go to irs.gov and get an EIN FREE you can also just use your SSN.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you are doing drop shipping you may want to get a business license, every state has their differences.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I am not a tax advisor so ask around, but I do my own taxes, which there isn't much anyways.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Next is getting a website up and running with your product on it or your affiliate links&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Now time to advertise your website, there are hundreds of different ways to advertise you site, social, submit articles, forums, bookmarking, pay per click, search engine optimization, email listings (DO NOT SPAM), and tons more. Most of these are FREE as well!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;tweak your site, update it, if no one is buying this product trash it, start over. If there is a certain product on your site not making you any money, but others are, toss that product out and try another. Could eve be as much as changing the image, or wording for that specific one!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After that takes off and all works well, start another website with a different product or niche&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sit back and watch the money roll in (make sure you keep doing this because sooner or later, that specific product or that webpage will die.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do I need a business license to run an affiliate website?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NO, you don't even need an EIN, you can use your SSN.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do I have to pay taxes on the money I make?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;YES, the United States government is greedy and is the largest scam around, they make money by you making and spending money! Isn't that a joke? Anyways, the amount of taxes paid is not very much at all in affiliate marketing. You should receive a 1099 form from the affiliate program if you have made over $600 from them in that year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do I need to know HTML to build a website?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NO, but you at least want to look at a few sample codes and such just so you know what it looks like. But the most you will be doing is copying and pasting HTML code to place ads on your website or blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can I use free websites?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;YES, but depends on the terms of service set by the provider. Whether they allow ads or not, what kind of content you can have, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can I &lt;a id="link_98" target="_new" href="http://247-coach.com/blogging.php"&gt;start a blog&lt;/a&gt; instead of a website? YES, there are many of my students using a blog instead of a website, one thing great about this is easy to use and very search engine friendly. If you use a free blog some of them restrict what you can and cant do as far as ads, code types, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How much money can I make?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no set amounts, this is no guarantee you will make these amounts, but I have seen numbers anywhere from $1000/mo. - $8,000/mo. There are claims of people making more and more, but those are the extremes, someone that found he perfect product, advertising, etc. You can follow their EXACT steps and not make those amounts, so I keep it reasonable and easy to make.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How long does it take before I start making money online?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This depends as well. You can make money in the first day you launch your website, and it could take months as well. This all depends on how easy it is do find your website. How much advertising you have done. I've seen them vary all the time, the average is about a week or 2 if you are doing something very specific, which I recommend, if you are doing something more broad, if will take longer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can you give us an example?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;YES, I can give you a short example here, but I can't make a website here, so you can check out my website and I have a bunch of examples there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;example:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make a website on "how to make a toga" give step by step instructions on how to make a toga, affiliate with companies that sell products you will need to use, sheets, scissors, maybe rope, etc. Also give them options to buy a book on this if you can find one. Place some other ads they maybe interested in that are still relevant, most likely your viewers are going to attend a toga party or host a toga party right? So give them some products for this, products that will help them host a toga party and also maybe some ideas on how to run their party. Also run some pay per click ads on this site maybe from google or yahoo and have them automatically generate ads on your website that are relevant. Now advertise this website on article sites, other blogs about parties, forums on parties, groups on parties, maybe make a video on how to make this toga and place it on youtube. Then if those few free ways don't work, toss an ad on google or yahoo yourself advertising your site, bid LOW, maybe $0.05-$0.20 to start with. and see what kind o profits you make before you start bidding higher. You spend $50/mo on advertising and make more than that great keep going, if you spend $50/mo on advertising and make less, lower you advertising and do ome more free techniques, still no good, trash the idea and move on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can I use the Toga idea?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;YES, go for it, let me know if it works out for you, I know there is people searching for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You said you KNOW people are searching for it, are there ways we can find this information?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;YES, there are many free ways and paid for ways to find this information, I like to use the free ways, but others like the paid ways.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What's the difference in the paid vs. free ways to see if someone is searching for this?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PAID = expensive and accurate and all in one website or program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FREE = FREE and not as accurate, may have to go to 4 different websites to make your decision.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="text-align: left; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you charge on your website for the DETAILS?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NO, my website has all the details and is 100% FREE to use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brandon Stimmel&lt;br /&gt;247-coach.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="link_99" target="_new" href="http://247-coach.com/" title="How to Start a Business Online"&gt;How to Start a Business Online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article Source: &lt;a id="link_100" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Brandon_Stimmel"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Brandon_Stimmel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8248104124163372877-6646247285928719894?l=bizbiz-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/feeds/6646247285928719894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8248104124163372877&amp;postID=6646247285928719894' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/6646247285928719894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/6646247285928719894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/2008/05/step-by-step-help-guide-how-to-start.html' title=''/><author><name>Hamid Mulyaredja</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oBwyV0Go_t0/S0zdBlo2ISI/AAAAAAAAAcI/KCWuRe678uc/S220/0_516671335l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248104124163372877.post-566399551018410441</id><published>2008-05-01T13:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-24T14:39:32.768-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='web success'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earn money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='steps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='search engine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='revenue'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" class="art_title" &gt;10 Steps to Web Success&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="copyright"&gt;By &lt;a id="link_47" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Lamb"&gt;Peter Lamb&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are plenty of people out there that will charge you for their ideas but never back it up with real life quantifiable examples. This article is designed to tell you exactly what we did to create and make a successful Internet based business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let me start by saying we earn enough money from this site to live comfortably. It has not made us millionaires but it generates increasing amounts of revenue month after month and if the trend continues, there is nothing we will want for financially as a result of our efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secondly, do not be fooled into thinking that running a successful web site is a set and forget proposition, it is hard work in terms of the amount of hours you must spend to ensure it works for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All of the con men out there that try to sell you set and forget web sites and promise you easy money are exactly that "Con Men".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OK, Step by Step to Web Success &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This process is on-going and has so far taken 6 years (as at 2008) so be prepared to take your time at becoming rich.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 1 - What do we do Online?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first thing we did was decide what it was we had to sell. The choices were many as it turned out, here are some of the ideas we came up with:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;We could set up an on-line consultancy business (X)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We could write and sell software (X)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We could write and sell E-Books (Everyone is an expert at something and this is the easiest way to own a product of your own) (X)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We could set up an affiliate web site and sell other peoples products including utilizing Adsense (X)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We could use the Internet as a high tech traditional mail order business (X)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We could sell our photos or artwork as stock photography&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We could write a novel and sell it online or look for a publisher online&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We could create web sites for other people (X)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;  What we ended up doing was a number of these things. We did all of the things with a (X) next to them.&lt;p&gt;These web sites and pages were:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Online consultancy&lt;/b&gt; - How to Make Money Online pages on www.thinking-digital.com&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Write and Sell Software&lt;/b&gt; - SmartBet.homestead.com, Streaming-Stats.com, Enigma, thinkingracing.homestead.com and foldersafe are all written by us and they are owned by us&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Write and sell E-Books&lt;/b&gt; - Internet Dating Interactive is written by us&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Affiliate &amp;amp; Adsense Marketing&lt;/b&gt; - thinkingracing sells many products other than our own, each one of these generates an affiliate commission when someone purchases them from our site, this site also generates substantial income from Google Adsense&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;High Tech Mail Order Business&lt;/b&gt; - Digital Developments makes and distributes personalized coffee mugs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Sites&lt;/b&gt; - We also create web sites on a budget for other people&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; It has been our experience that you cannot simply focus on one thing and hope to make it big. Money has a lovely way of accumulating when you are involved in several endeavors. Whilst one may lapse, the others may peak and overall, things keep ticking along.&lt;p&gt;Some of the above endeavors make more money than others and our 3 stars are the Software Sales from software we have written ourselves, our Thinking Racing site and the Coffee Mug business. Between them, they contribute 70% of our income.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before we move to step 2, bear in mind that just because you are on the Internet does not mean you have to sell on-line products. We took a traditional business (making coffee mugs) and used the interment as an electronic marketing tool and order taker. This has been a huge success and I am certain there are plenty of other traditional businesses that could benefit from the Internet in the same way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 2 - Prepare, Prepare, Prepare&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know everyone wants to jump right in and make a web site but unless you are prepared with everything you need to make your venture work, you are wasting your time and money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In our case, we had to do the following:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Write the software we were going to sell. We started with one application and we are still adding to our product line every year.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Set up our affiliate programs (We use ClickBank mostly and I will explain why below)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Write the copy for our web pages&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Write and publish our E-Book&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Research how to make coffee mugs, purchase the equipment and make some samples&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Get business cards, letter heads and all of the usual stationary you use in business (If you want to be treated like a business, you need to look and act like one)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Get an accounting system and learn how to use it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Register our Business Name&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Create our Web Site offline (This is time consuming and you have to be happy with the result, if you are not 100% convinced that your site conveys what you want it to, others won't be either)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Step 3 - What will our site look like?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is vitally important that your site conveys what it is you want it to. The best advice I can give is research the net, look at your competitors and other sites for ideas. Pick and choose things that you think work and then ensure those ideas are harmoniously merged with your ideas and design.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Decide the theme you want for your site, for instance, we wanted to follow a content driven major portal style similar to news sites and msn etc. So our site is predominately text based (This is also very good for search engine optimization). Obviously, if you sell visual products like Artwork for instance, this style of site is not appropriate and that's what I mean. Look at what you are trying to do and design your site appropriately.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have found the following Do's and Don't's&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do use lots of text&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do keep animations to a minimum&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do try to avoid Flash and Java&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do optimize your images&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do keep consistent design and colour schemes throughout your site&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do change your site often to keep it fresh&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do have a privacy policy clearly published on your site&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do make it easy for visitors to contact you&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do make it easy for visitors to purchase from you, make the transaction a 1 step process, do not ask them to register for anything else during the payment process, it will put them off.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do have give away's of genuine value to build visitor loyalty and goodwill&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do offer plenty of freely accessed valuable information about your subject matter&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do use PayPal as at least one of your payment methods (Lots of people now use PayPal and it means they do not need to enter their credit card every time they wish to purchase something. This is still a major drawback of selling online)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do always offer a money back guarantee, this gives the purchaser confidence in your product and if your product is what you say it is, you will get very few, if any refund requests. We get 1 in 100 sales.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't go the hard sell&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't use pop-ups, pop-under's or floating windows - they turn people off instantly&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't clutter your site up, make it easy for people to find what you want them to find&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't promise anything that is not true or not deliverable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't ever share your customers details with anyone else&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  Ultimately you want to achieve the following with your web site:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Attract Attention&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Arouse Interest&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stimulate Desire&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Call for Action&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Step 4 - Who do we host with?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are literally thousands of web hosting companies out there and choosing the correct one is obviously very important. I don't think there is a right and wrong solution but I will tell you why we chose Homestead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Homestead has a very low cost entry point and allows you to continually upgrade your package as your business grows and you can afford it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;It is fast and reliable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Support is excellent&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There is no advertising associated with your site&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can create as many sites as you like&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They will do everything from Domain hosting to email and mailing list management&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They have an extremely easy to use and extremely powerful web page production software package which is free of charge to their customers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They include e-commerce facilities (Very important if you want to sell anything)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It is very quick to develop, test and deploy your web sites&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can try it for free for 30 days, that's easily long enough to see if it's right for you&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; Frankly, it does not matter who you host with as long as they are reliable, fast and cost effective. Homestead is easy and as such, it has limitations, the most notable being lack of support for PHP and ASP. For our Thinking Racing site we used Bravenet as we required PHP and MySQL capability.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 5 - OK I have my Site Online - What Now?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you have produced your site, tested all of the links, tested your affiliate programs, spell checked every page, tested your e-commerce system and you are happy with the final product, it is time to upload it and go live to the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately this sounds much grander than it really is, the fact is, you will upload your site to your host and no one will know it exists except you. From here on in, all of your efforts need to be applied to the following:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Web Site Optimization&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Web Site Marketing both Online and Offline&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Press Releases via PR Web&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Search Engine Submission&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Finding Linking Partners&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Instigating Pay Per Click Campaigns that work&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Trial and error with web page design and copy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Implementing Google Adsense if it suits your site&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; The simple truth is that for you to succeed online, you need visitors and lots of them but don't fall for the trap of buying traffic from people who claim they will send you 10,000 visitors for $9.95 etc, it NEVER works.&lt;p&gt;What you need is targeted traffic, that is, people that are already pre-qualified as interested in what you have to offer. This is difficult but not impossible to achieve. The good thing is that when one of these people do visit you, it is far more likely that they will purchase something from you than someone stumbling upon your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A word of advice as to why NOT to purchase traffic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traffic delivered in this way is usually by one of 2 methods (1) Pop-Under exchanges or (2) People paid to click on sites. In the first instance, your site loads unseen by the user whilst viewing some other site, the result is, they will close your site without even looking at it as they did not request it. The second method is people being paid to visit sites, obviously this will never get the pre-qualified visitors you are looking for. These people visit as many sites as they can all day every day as they get paid per verified visitation. All in all it is worthless and a waste of your money. I can almost guarantee you will be tempted to use these services that guarantee traffic (we have used them), but DO NOT, the only guarantee is that you will be wasting your money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 6 - Web Site Optimization (Search Engine Optimization)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Web Site Optimization or SEO as it is known is simply designing your web site in a way that is easy for the Major Search Engines to find you and index your content. People write truck loads of information on this subject but there are only a few things that really matter, these are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Page Headings&lt;/b&gt; - Make sure your Web Page Headings include the key words you want people to find you with when searching (It's amazing how many people forget to have a page heading at all and without one you will almost certainly not be found)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Key Words&lt;/b&gt; - When choosing key words, never use single words like shoes, use something more descriptive like red leather shoes, it will help you float above the millions of other shoe sites&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Have the word Official in your Web Page Headings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Make sure your Web Page Headings relate to what is on the page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Meta Tags&lt;/b&gt; - Ensure your Key Words are included in Meta Tags&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Key Word Count&lt;/b&gt; - Make sure you have a key word count on each page of between 2% and 5%&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;ALT Tags&lt;/b&gt; - Ensure all of your images have an ALT tag, preferably one that relates to your key words&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Inward Links&lt;/b&gt; - The most important thing for search engines is how many inward links you have so it is vitally important to trade links with sites in the same niche as you&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Java &amp;amp; Flash&lt;/b&gt; - Avoid having links in Java or Flash code, the search engines do not see it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Site Map&lt;/b&gt; - Always have a site map page that has text links to every other page on your site, that way the search engines will find all of your pages&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Key Word Stuffing&lt;/b&gt; - Never simply repeat your key words over and over on the page, this is known as key word stuffing and the search engines will ban your site if you do it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Image Optimization&lt;/b&gt; - Ensure all of your images have been optimized for fast loading&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Step 7 - Web Site Marketing Online and Offline&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that you have a great site and it is optimized both for the viewer and the search engines it is time to start marketing it. This is the single most important thing you can do if you want to succeed online. Marketing can be done well with great outcomes or it can be done badly with very negative results indeed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The biggest no no is Spamming, or sending out emails to people that have not requested anything from you. Not only will you annoy the intended recipient, you will likely be banned by your ISP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are some of the steps and advice we use when marketing our site:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Press Release&lt;/b&gt; - When we have something to say we always submit a press release to PRWeb.com. You can do this for free but for a small fee you get much better coverage. Your release will end up on things like Google News and be picked up by potentially hundreds of thousands of people. Make sure what you have to say is news worthy or it will be a waste of time and money.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Search Engine Submission&lt;/b&gt; - You MUST submit your web site to the search engines every month. This is very tedious and we use a 3rd party search engine submission service. You can do it yourself but your time is more valuable.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pay Per Click&lt;/b&gt; - I talked earlier about getting targeted visitors to your web site. The easiest and quickest way of doing this is to use one of the Pay Per Click operators. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are the biggest and as a consequence probably the best but we have had great results at a lower cost with LookSmart. These services cost you money so you need to weigh up the benefits of visitations against the cost of getting those visitors. We use this form of marketing extensively and achieve good results. I suggest you visit Adwords to get the detail.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Link Exchange&lt;/b&gt; - A great free way to get targeted visitors is to do link exchanges with like minded web masters. Search the net, find sites that you think will benefit your site and write to the web master and request a link swap. Its a win win situation. Yes it is time consuming and tedious but if you want to succeed, you need to work at this. Remember, it has taken us 6 years so far and we are still doing this stuff because it works.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mailing List&lt;/b&gt; - Building up a mailing list is very important. It is always easier to sell to an existing client than it is to constantly try and get new ones. Have a free newsletter registration on your web site. Once people Opt In to your newsletter, you can email them periodically with news and special offers. This is one of the most successful forms of web marketing.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Viral Marketing&lt;/b&gt; - If you sell software, give away a free trial version and encourage those that download it to pass it on to their friends. This is a form of Viral Marketing and it works. Even if you simply make a cool screen saver and give it away, it will bring you customers as long as every screen has your web link on it. If you intend to do this form of marketing, make sure your give away is of high quality, you want people to associate your site with quality. The best place to submit your giveaway to is Download.com, its free and it will drive thousands of people to your site over time. We developed Streaming Stats as a free giveaway simply to drive new customers to Thinking Digital. It is a product of high quality that is fun and informative and has intrinsic value. I cannot recommend this form of marketing enough, it is slow but steady and never stops selling for you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Site Intelligence&lt;/b&gt; - Track your visitors and find out what it is they are interested in on your site. Homestead has a built in system for doing this but there are several on the market. Once you know what your visitors are looking at, you can better understand what is attracting them to you in the first place and more importantly, you can use this knowledge to FUNNEL them to where you want them to go. For instance, if they are predominately going to information pages, imbed links in those pages that will direct them to your sales pages. An excellent free system for this is Google Analytics.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Offsite Marketing&lt;/b&gt; - Make sure that your web address is printed on everything that leaves your premises, invoices, business cards, invitations, the lot. You never know who will read it or where it will show up.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Local Demographics&lt;/b&gt; - If you operate within a local demographic, use it. For instance, the coffee mug business is only interested in customers from Australia so we limit our Google AdWords to Australia only. That way our Ads are not seen by people outside our territory and they become even more targeted. Targeted customers ultimately mean more sales.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Assist Charity&lt;/b&gt; - Again, if you operate locally, advertise or better still get editorial coverage for what you do in the local press, TV and radio. One way to do this is to donate your products or services to a worthy cause like Earthquake relief and then let people know about it. The press love goodwill stories and you will get thousands of dollars in free publicity. A nice by product is that you also get to help whichever cause it is.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bartercard&lt;/b&gt; - Bartercard is a trade exchange whereby you trade goods for other goods in a similar way to how business was conducted hundreds of years ago. Whilst no actual cash changes hands, there are over 55,000 businesses globally that you can deal with. Being a member of Bartercard can increase demand for your products or service and also generate additional cash sales through word of mouth. The Bartercard dollars that you accumulate through trading can be used to purchase almost anything. Whilst you could not run your whole business on this system, it is a great way to spread the word about your products and services. This is recommended once you have a sustainable business.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Referrals&lt;/b&gt; - Ask your visitors to refer your site to their friends via a Referral Button, if necessary give them an incentive to do so. For instance, "tell 5 of your friends about our site and get this great screen saver free". Homestead has built in support for this feature.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Polls&lt;/b&gt; - Ask your visitors what they think of you and have it visible as a web poll, if you are doing your job well, most responses will be positive and that will encourage people to do business with you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gift Vouchers&lt;/b&gt; - If you can do it technically, offer gift vouchers for purchases at your site. Not only will you make an immediate sale, you will gain not one but two customers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Step 8 - Marketing Maintenance&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have your web site on the search engines and you have implemented some or all of the above marketing tips, you should see traffic appearing at your site and hopefully sales. If you are getting reasonable traffic (at least 100 visitors per day) and you are not making any sales, you need to revisit your web site and ask yourself, why?. The easiest way to see if someone will purchase a product or service from you is to ask yourself the question "if I happened upon this site without any prior knowledge of it, would I be tempted to buy?". If the answer is no, why not?. Make the necessary changes and and let the new changes run for a few weeks and conduct the same test. Web site marketing is all about trial and error, you will eventually happen upon things that work, keep them and discard those that don't.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are the steps we undertake week in and week out to continually market our sites:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Continue to look for mutually beneficial link partners&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Search the net for new opportunities to co-market or advertise our sites&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Evaluate new marketing propositions as they become known to us Adbrite is an example of this&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be prepared to lower the price of your offerings if they are not selling. Products and Services do not sell for only 2 reasons (1) Price and (2) Quality. So, if you are sure of the quality of what you offer, lower the price or offer an incentive to buy. We did this with our Bookie Beater software, the original price was $29.95 and we sold a few but after lowering the price to $19.95, sales sky rocketed.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tweak your site constantly, change special offers, change images and layout occasionally, add new articles and include RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds where appropriate. These bring new fresh content to your site every day free of charge which not only adds authoritive content to your site, it helps raise your profile with the search engines.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make sure your web site sells the benefits of what you are offering. People buy benefits, not features.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Keep in touch with people who have bought from you in the past, it has been proven many times that it is substantially easier to sell to an existing customer than to acquire a new one. Send a monthly news letter to those that have opted in to your mailing list, no matter how small that list is.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Differentiate your product or service from your competitors, this can be through a benefit statement or even cost. Often, people will pay substantially more for a product if the benefits of that particular product outweigh the benefits of the competitor.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you decide to spend money on advertising, make sure it is with sites that are in the same niche as you. It is useless advertising on a broad ranging information portal when you sell washing machines. you need to be advertising on sites that review or promote washing machines. We advertise on racing-index because it fits our demographic and it has been proven to work.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use your web site intelligence to see what pages people are visiting and for how long, where do they enter your site, where do they leave your site. Look at the referrers and see where you customers have been referred from. They would be a good place to link with or advertise with don't you think? Traffic patterns change and you need to constantly monitor this change and modify your site accordingly if you want to make your site work for you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Step 9 - Other ways to Monetize your site&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Google AdSense&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People have their own opinions about Google's Adsense program but I am a big fan. It is free to join and enables you to run other peoples ads on your site. When someone clicks on these ads, you get paid a commission. Google always pay on time and you can realise quite sizeable amounts of money from this if done correctly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The one big drawback is that when someone clicks an AdSense Ad, they leave your site. I don't like this aspect of the program but if your site is appealing enough, your visitor will return of their own accord.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few tips to successful AdSense use:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Always place a short sentence about what you are promoting directly below the AdSense Ad. This will ensure that AdSense only shows Ads that are relevant to your content and guarantee a higher click through rate.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use borderless ads and try to include them in your body text, people tend to click on body copy placement more.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ensure your Ads are using the same style and colour scheme as the rest of your site, this lessens the feeling of viewing an advertisement.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Clickbank Affiliate Program&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clickbank has over 11,000 products online and there are sure to be some that are synergistic with your web site. You can earn anywhere up to 75% of the sale price of an item simply by becoming a Clickbank Affiliate and placing some links on your site. This is a free service and Clickbank pay commissions every 2 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have used this service to both promote our own software and other peoples for 6 years and it has earned us substantial income in that time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have some spare space on your pages, why not place some nicely designed ads from the Clickbank catalogue, it won't affect the design of your site and will more likely make you some money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Create Web Sites for Other People&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now that you have the skills in hand to create a great web site of your own, what is to stop you offering that service to other people. We do, and we make anywhere between $1,000 and $10,000 per site. Our web site promo page is at http://www.thinking-digital.com/tdwebsites.html&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because every man and his dog is proporting to be able to create web sites, the best place to market this service is in your local community. Approach the obvious candidates like Florists, Real Estate Agents, Hire Car Companies, Artists and Photographers, Car Repair Companies, in fact everyone these days needs a web site so you could create a nice sideline in this way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sell Advertising on your Site&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whilst this is quite difficult, it is not impossible. We successfully sell ads on our site every month and it is a direct result of attacking a market niche (in our case Horse Racing). We get targeted visitors and other sites in the gambling space also want those visitors and are prepared to pay for them. This is a nice earner for us that is growing month by month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It costs you nothing to advertise the fact that you will accept paid advertising on your site and if you get a nibble, it will have been worth it. Let the advertisers approach you, after you get enough day to day traffic, they will.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are impatient and wish to sell Advertising Space on your site, you can do so through Text Link Ads who pay you to place Text Links on your site. Your site needs to be approved but this seems to be an excellent way to monetize your site quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 10 - Remember to Persist&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best piece of advice I can give you is implement as much of the above as you are capable of and PERSIST. There is a guaranteed outcome if you give up and that is, failure, there is also a guaranteed outcome if you follow the advice on this page and PERSIST, you will SUCCEED, it's impossible not to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People only fail at something they truly believe in if they give up, PERSIST and WIN.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish you every success in your Online endeavors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="text-align: left; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a id="link_102" target="_new" href="http://www.thinking-digital.com/"&gt;http://www.thinking-digital.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article Source: &lt;a id="link_103" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Lamb"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Peter_Lamb&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8248104124163372877-566399551018410441?l=bizbiz-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/feeds/566399551018410441/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8248104124163372877&amp;postID=566399551018410441' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/566399551018410441'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8248104124163372877/posts/default/566399551018410441'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bizbiz-net.blogspot.com/2008/05/10-steps-to-web-success.html' title=''/><author><name>Hamid Mulyaredja</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oBwyV0Go_t0/S0zdBlo2ISI/AAAAAAAAAcI/KCWuRe678uc/S220/0_516671335l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
