subject: Route To Success With Internet Marketing [print this page] There are four key steps to being successful with internet marketing, online marketing guru explains what these are in this revealing article.
When I started internet marketing, I was determined to make money at it without going broke. This determination gave me the drive to understand how it worked and how I could gain an income for free or very little outlay. In this article, I share with you the results of my research on what route to take for success with internet marketing.
There are so many different ways to make money online that people often just get stuck. They don't know which method to choose and which product to sell and how. It can be such a maze with endless paths to take, at times it confused me, but then I understood what was really needed to make money.
I got lucky to be honest, I came across a product that really laid out the path for me. It provided me with the essential tangible elements and also gave me the route to follow so that I could make my first cent. As I worked with the product, it became apparent that what I really needed to do was the following:
1. Learn - this really equates to reading a whole lot more than actually doing. It's a little like your first year on a university course. You need to really understand what is involved in internet marketing. This will include learning about keywords, niches and how to sell products. You begin to understand what a blog is and how it can help you market.
2. Combining your knowledge - this is often the time when many budding internet marketing experts decide to back out of the whole thing. They are spending money, are swamped with all the knowledge that they have discovered but they don't seem to be getting anywhere. Now is the time to understand how to combine the pieces to solve the puzzle.
3. Action - this is the time that people have started to make some money and they can see clearly which niches to invest more resources into. These resources include time and money. You now understand what works and how you can get free traffic from other sites.
4. Pay for Traffic - this took me a while to get to the point of actually paying for traffic through pay per click advertising. Once I had my sites up and running and had seen how people were finding me, and which keywords were working well for me then I felt confident enough to pay for more eyes to find my products on my site.
Something that I learned that I feel all newbies need to discover for themselves, is that there is no shortcut to success. It all takes work and it takes action. Without understanding internet marketing or without good guidance, a person can spend themselves into a very expensive failure.
The product that I first made decent money on was an online marketing success product. It explained exactly what the steps were that I needed to take to put up multiple websites and how to make money from them.
