Are YOU Having Internet Marketing Success?

Much has been written here to help you achieve a degree of Internet Marketing success. As it has been stated before, just having a website, no matter how great it may be, is not the only step to achieving your dream of financial independence. Just as if you had a great restaurant and nobody ate there, who would ever know that you served some of the most creative and delicious food on the planet? Who would recommend your restaurant to the their friends and neighbors? Who would eagerly look forward to the next special that you had there?

Nobody.

Sounds sad and lonely, doesn’t it? Sad, lonely, and true. If you don’t “ping” your daily writing/posts to your website, not even a search engine will find and catalog your website out there. Try pinggoat, for starters. At least get your name out there. You can also submit articles to ezinearticles.com and that can be a slow, but steady source of traffic. You might do a PPC (pay per click) campaign with Google Adwords or type “PPC Advertising” into the search bar of  Google and find other ways to generate traffic to your site. You might have to pay for traffic in the beginning, but, once the traffic starts to flow, so does the cash flow as well.

You might even try traditional advertising like the newpaper (non-traditional like Craigslist). What ever you do, just do something! Make note of what works and what doesn’t. What works for one person, may not work at all for another. You never know until it is used.

Here’s to YOUR Internet Marketing success, and have a GREAT day!

Going My Way?

Once you have a website going, the key to success is getting traffic there. Sure, telling your friends and your family are good starts, but if you are to make any sort of money on Internet, you will need to drive traffic.  Here are a few ideas

Pay Per Click - You can go with Yahoo! or Google and you can bid on keywords that will have ads displayed. The great thing is that you don’t pay anything, until somebody clicks on the ad.

Blogs - You can set up a blog for free (I have six) at www.blogger.com. You will need a google account (they are free) and just besure that you include lots of key words so that the search engines will pick up your blogs. One way to do that is to regularly ”ping” your blog through www.pingomatic.com. If you have wordpress on your blog (free) it will do it automatically.

Comment On Other Blogs - search in google for other related blogs, and post a comment on that blog with a link to yours. Traffic will come soon enough.

Have You Blog With Your Signature On E-Mail - that way if you happen to forward a message (that others may have forwarded to you) the message may get forwarded and others will now have your link.

Advertise With Other Websites - You can always ask the website webmaster how much they would charge you for the ad. Some are inexpensive and can easily drive you valuable traffic to your website.

Advertise The Old-Fashioned Way - believe it or not, you can always use print media and radio.  It costs more, but if you have an exciting product to offer, you can always try to use this route.

Don’t give up and Never Surrender! Look at what other successful people are doing on their websites and simply employ some of the same techniques.

Do The Research, Baby!

When starting an online presence, you need to do a little bit of research.  That is, of course, if you want to be successful an have traffic come to your site.  There are many things to research when searching for a subject to cater to (and with so many specialized interests out there, you can find a niche that would cater to just about anybody).  These include (but are certainly not limited to):

* Number of people that are looking for a particular subject.  For example, if you were wondering how many searches there were for searching for pomeranians, simply go to Google, type in the search word “pomeranians” and google will quickly return 599,000 results. That’s a lot of different searches for a little dog.  And some people do not like or are afraid of dogs. 

* Read the blogs.  This is another no-brainer in that you would go to Google, type in your subject followed by a space and the word “blog”.  Chances are you will get several results.  If there are very few results pulled from your search, that either tells you that there is no market for your subject or that you may have more exclusivity in that market. 

* If you are looking to sell a physical product, try going to Yahoo!Shopping, there you will find your product, what the average price will be and, depending on the number of results, how saturated your market is going to be.  Chances are that if there is a big market for something, there will be room for you to be in there and start making your own online money.

Be diligent, be thorough, be excited!  This is a great time to be able to start your own online business, but you have to work smart in order to succeed.  Next time, Creating Traffic.

Welcome!!

Welcome to the new front page of money-for-my-life.com.  My blog is full of money saving ideas that you can save money to help pay down your credit card debt and eliminate that by incorporating several savings ideas that most people will find useful.  Of course, half of the equation is to make more money.

This can be done in several ways: you can find a better job, you can learn new skills, you can begin doing Internet Marketing.  Finding a new job may be a challenge at this point in the game, especially given the somewhat bleak forecast by “experts” in the economy.  You are never too old to learn new skills or a new degree.  I am not one to belittle our education system, especially since I spent eight of my years as a teacher and 18 years in the classroom.  I have a degree, but some of the things that will make you the most money the fastest will be things that don’t require an advanced degree.  One of the best ways that I have found to make money quickly can be found here.  You can also do the research that I have done to find sources (they are out there, believe me) that can help you with everything that you will need to be successful.

The key, as always, is to do  something.  Action is always better than inaction!
