Build Relationships With JV Partners

The more and more you accomplish online, people will seek you out to work on projects either with them or they will ask you to promote their business to your list.

You do this by building an email list of subscribers otherwise known as email marketing. You then would simply send and email to your list for your JV partner recommending their products and services. This is a powerful technique to generate big profits online. We will cover this topic of internet marketing in greater detail in future lessons.

Today's Next Step

Based on what we've covered , I want you to decide if internet marketing is something you are interested in. If it is, determine what kind of business you want to own and operate:

Do you want have your own products?

Do you only want to sell other people's products?

What are your main reasons for inquiring about making money online?

Are you looking for a long term or short term business?

What are your goals?

What is your time-line to start replacing your primary income?

Only you can answer these questions for yourself...then go for it.

You Don't Have To Have High Technical Skills

You need to know the basics about a computer and be able to connect to the internet. You will need some additional computer skills but if you are just no good at it, you can hire people to do it for you. We will be discussing outsourcing in later lessons as well so please keep a look out for them.

Internet marketing doesn't require a website but I recommend you studying the lessons on affiliate marketing to learn more. If you are a beginner and you want to learn how to build one from scratch, remember I recommend using Wordpress.

Covering The Basics Of Internet Marketing

Internet marketing gives you the ability to publish your products and services over the internet through your own website or promotion link. In order for your website to be visible via the internet, you need a few basic components.

You need what is called a hosting account as well as a domain name. A hosing account is a place to store your files online so they are visible for everyone to see. A domain name is the registered online address for your website. This helps people find your content and establishes an identity for your website.

Thirdly, you need a website or blog. For this, I personally recommend Wordpress. This is a content management system where you can actually log into the back office so to speak and change the way your content is viewed.

Team Up With Your Competitors

Internet marketing gives you the possibility to engage in your competitors products or services and actually promote for them, and in return they issue you a commission check for sales you make. This form of internet marketing is called affiliate marketing. We will be covering this topic in greater detail in further to come lessons.

Enjoy The Little Things In Life

Internet marketing can bring great things to some of us. Especially for those like me, I am a father of six children. I absolutely love spending time with my family. I am able to get the kids off to school in the morning as well as greet them when they get off the bus. This has been something I have always dreamed of being able to do and it wouldn't have been possible if I didn't have an internet marketing career.

I used to sacrifice so much time everyday at the office. I was lucky to make it home in time to kiss the kids on the head at night just before they went to bed. I am very thankful to be a bigger part of their lives now thanks to internet marketing.

Content Makes The Internet Go Around

By producing a neat website with good content in your internet marketing business, you provide your customers with true value. You can express your business, tell your story to the world, and build life long relationships with them. If you want to be in internet marketing for the long haul, you need to produce quality content that will keep them coming back for more.

You need to take your content and optimize it for your website as well as the search engines, otherwise known as Search Engine Optimization. This will allow you to optimize your content so it can be found throughout the web. This is a vital factor in internet marketing because it is one of the ways you get potential customers to your website.

Internet Marketing Requires Very Little Investment To Start

This is one of the powers behind internet marketing. Regardless of your income level you can still learn at your own pace. It's just those with more money can get a jump start because they can pay to have traffic sent to their website through PPC (pay-per-click-advertising)

It's just like turning a faucet of water on except you are turning on a faucet of visitors to your website. If you are lacking funds, you will just have to concentrate a little more on more traditional methods which we will talk about in future lessons.

Tracking Stats In Your Business

One very important aspect of internet marketing is tracking your conversion stats. In case you are unfamiliar with what they are, conversion stats tell you important detail about who is coming to your site and if they are buying or not. You need to know this data because you want to eventually focus your efforts on what is working and faze out what is not. This will improve your overall ROI (return on investment).

One of the skills you will need to learn is keyword research. I recommend using the Google Keyword Tool in order to do your research but we will be covering exactly how to do that in future lessons. Keyword research is a vital part of internet marketing because you don't want to be targeting keywords that people are not relevant to your products or services. Also, if you target low quality keywords that could create a direct impact on the amount of income you make.

Developing An Internet Marketing Strategy Is Essential

Internet marketing is not just throwing up a website, throwing some products on it, and then watch the money roll in. It is much more complex than that. You need to assess several factors of each market you enter into and evaluate if it's going to be profitable or not.

You need to take a look at the competition in your market and see if there is money being made online. I look at it like this, you would not build a restaurant in a neighborhood where nobody was living. That would be a waste of time and money.
