subject: How To Kick Start Your Internet Marketing Game [print this page] The single biggest problem I see with new online marketers is their fear of getting into the game.
So many "would be marketers" continue to keep reading everything they can get their hands on about Internet marketing, but never actually apply anything they have learned.
These people believe there is this secret money making technique out there-the "push-a-button" solution. They keep searching for it, buying ebook after ebook...
And at the same time, there are those who may get their feet wet and dabble in MLM or affiliate marketing, but never make more than a few bucks online ...and quit.
The reality is, if you want to become successful online, you must Take It Seriously and Take Action!
Of course not every person who fails to take action is lazy...
Most people are just afraid to fail, so they would rather read an ebook over and over again, then to find out their ideas didn't work.
The irony is that every successful person I have ever met has learned a great deal from his or her failures.
You only fail when you give up on yourself. Winners pick themselves up and stick with things until they breakthrough; quitters give up at the first sign of adversity, and thus never succeed at anything.
Most people are like a boulder sitting on top of a great big hill. All they need is a little push to get their momentum going, and then watch out!
With that in mind, I have created the kick start plan below that will get you rolling straight into the online marketing game:
Step 1: Find A Hot Niche
One of the best ways to brainstorm some hot niche ideas is to visit Google Hot Trends.
Here you will find the "hot trends" that people are searching on. This will help to get your creative juices flowing.
Step 2: Grab A Domain Name And Find A Quality Host
Once you have found a hot niche, it is time to find a quality domain name. Be sure to make the domain name keyword rich and easy to remember.
Then find a good hosting company and get your website up and running.
Step 3: Create A WordPress Blog
Visit WordPress.org and download their powerful free blog software.
This software makes it easy to manage your site's content, and when configured correctly, gets a lot of search engine love. If you have any problems installing the software, don't hesitate to use their extremely helpful forums.
Step 4: Create Your Content
Now you will want to add content to your blog. Remember to keep it based around your chosen niche, and unique.
With a little research, it won't take much time to create 5-10 high quality articles for your blog.
If you don't feel comfortable writing your own content, you can easily hire a ghostwriter at Elance.
Continue to add quality content to your site and focus on just one or two promotion techniques. Remember to be patient and keep promoting it. Good things take time!
You won't make a fortune off the bat, but you will start to gain the experience you need to dominate your chosen niche.
You will be shocked at how much you have learned along the way, but always allowed fear to hold you back from reaching your potential. Once this happens, the sky is the limit and is only restricted by your imagination.
