How you can actually start to make money with online marketing, what do I have to do in order to get the best results?
It is easy to become dumbfounded with online marketing, especially with other internet marketers saying one thing or another is the right way to earn. But what do you really need in order to started for better results?
The first thing you need to do is to stop listening to what everyone else is telling you, and relax for a minute..
Now think about all those different ways people are telling you use, and how many you have tried? And just out of curiosity, did any of those programs or idea’s turn your online business around?
For most people the answer is no. Don’t be too hard on yourself, it’s not your fault and help is right around the corner. Let’s just figure out where you are at right now.
If you are a beginner: Have you bought a Domain Name yet? Do you have a website or blog? Have you purchased an auto responder?
Intermediate: How big is your email list? Is your auto responder set up to email daily? Do you promote many different products, or the same one to the same list?
For people who have been doing this over 1 year: Do you get many purchases from the people on your list? How is your search engine rank? How much money do you get back for every $100 spent on advertising? What money are you making each month?
Now this is just a short list of questions, there are a lot more, but this should have your wheels turning.
If you want to improve your answers you need to figure out how well you are using the basics Do you think you are allotting enough time everyday to the important parts of your internet business. And how much wasted time do you lose trying the next big thing like you just read in the email you got.
FYI, all those new programs are relying on the fact that you already have all the basics in order, that is why the program work for some people.
So if things are not exactly where you would like them to be then you need to decide exactly in detail what you want to do about it and set aside some time to do it.
So how do you prioritize your time? Start a journal of what you need to do and stick to it. This is not the coolest thing in the world to do but this is a great way to make sure your doing what you need to do, and this has worked for people for the last 2,000 years.
Sounds simple right, but are you willing to just do it?
Once you set this program up, make sure you do what you have set your time aside to do, maybe a new longer series of auto responder messages that encourages the person to take another look at your products or affiliate links.
Improve the sales copy on your website, start using article marketing to help boost your search engine rank, leave links in blogs and forums every day, this builds back links and helps with your search engine rank.
If you put these basic tips into effect you will begin to turn a profit. Now that you are making money simply because you got back to the basics of internet marketing, you can begin adding new ways of advertising and see if they improve your traffic and sales. Ask yourself do these new techniques suit your style, your products, your mind set, then try them.
So set some goals in your diary and write down some activities that you will do to help achieve those goals, now you can spend more time building your own online business instead of reading promotions from other people that are making them money.
These steps may seem very boring and irritating at first but once you start making money using these simple steps you will begin to find this work enjoyable and this will carry you on to the next level of internet marketing. Now if your ready to turn your online business around, make a plan, stick to it, and you are on your way to a new state of mind.
