Internet Marketing For Newbies - Where to Start and What Most eBooks Won't Tell You
You've heard the stories. You've seen websites with pictures of ten thousand dollar checks on them. So, you decided to take a plunge and see if you can get a slice of that ever-growing Internet marketing pie. But you don't exactly know where to start and whose advice to take seriously.
There are millions of websites out there who promise to show you the way for a small fee of - however much they can get away with. Their sales page is carefully laid out with that perfect vacation theme - you know, the Caribbean beach with a bamboo gazebo and palm trees swaying in the breeze. Something deep inside tells you it's probably another rip off. And chances are it probably is. Tread cautiously in the Internets "make money" waters.
Some of the tips I can give you from experience:
• Beware of anything quick and easy. One of the biggest myths online is you can get filthy rich with minimum amount of work fast. It's a popular fantasy and con artists have been capitalizing on this for decades. Use your common sense - anything worthwhile will never be quick and easy.
• Question everything! Just because the sales page says something, it doesn't always mean it's true. Realize that people have done way worse things for money. Investigate the validity of every claim. Read as many reviews as you can find before you part with your money.
So where do you begin and what do you do first?
The top of my list and of the most important places to start would be to - learn basic copywriting skills. Most ebooks will not tell you this, but this is a big one. As an Internet marketer you're going to need it every day. There are some great copywriting resources online you can check out that can point you in the right direction.
If writing is something you absolutely despise, you might want to reconsider getting into Internet marketing in the first place.
Find something you're passionate about or know more than an average person
I find it's easier to start with something you at least know a little bit about or personally enjoy. Say if you have some experience with animals, you might want to start with pet training or pet products. If you've been playing golf and think you have some tips you can share with people from experience, by all means start with that.
If you want to get anywhere, stick with it
No matter how tempted you might be to switch to something else when things don't go your way in the first few weeks or months. And believe me, everyday there will be something new and exciting to distract you and cloud your focus. Don't let it.
One of the biggest challenges in Internet marketing is staying consistent and true to your original plan. And one of the biggest reasons newbie marketers fail to make any money is because they jump from one area to the next - thinking it's going to be much easier with something else.
The reality is, no matter what niche you jump into, it's going to take about the same amount of research, patience and outworking your competition.
Take constant action and don't be afraid to fail
This may sound a bit cliché, but this is what separates marketers who make money, from marketers who fantasize about making money. I'm willing to bet that any Internet marketer who's ever made it big has failed in the past - and failed a lot.
Learn the basics, master them, take continuous action and I guarantee you'll be rewarded handsomely if you stick with it.

That project will take a few days so in the mean time let me give you a quick explanation of how to make money online in a nutshell.
To make money online you need 8 things.
1.) Website
I know there are "guru's" that will tell you that you can make millions with not website and in all honesty it can be done but it is much more difficult than this method. Get a website with a professional host.
2.) Domain name
Choose a domain name that is "catchy" and easy to remember. You should try to ensure that the domain name and your business name are the same. It is easier for your customers to find you if your business name and domain name are the same.
3.) Autoresponder
No ifs ands or buts ...you must have an autoresponder. It will manage your newsletter and email marketing campaigns as well as generate the code for you opt in form.
4.) Squeeze page
This is a page on your website designed for one thing...to offer your visitors a free product in exchange for their name and email address. It should offer only 2 options, sign up or leave.
5.) Free Product
You need to have a product that you will give away freely in exchange for your visitor's information. You can create the product yourself or purchase it.
6.) Newsletter or Ezine
You need to provide your customers with high quality free information. This will be accomplished by publishing a newsletter or ezine.
7.) Products to sell
When sending out your newsletter place ads for these products in the copy. This is how you make money.
8.) Patience, diligence, and fortitude
This is not a formula for overnight riches. There is no such animal in the internet marketing arena or any arena for that matter. You must have patience to let the system work. You must have diligence to keep at it no matter what. You must have the fortitude to be in it for the long haul.
In this internet marketing for newbies article you have learned the 8 basic things that are needed to succeed on the internet. Put them to use by learning more about each point.

Internet Marketing For Beginners - The Definitive Guide
Internet Marketing can be a strange world for beginners. So much information to take in, so much to learn, so many people who want your hard-earned cash. This article will explain all about Internet Marketing for beginners and how you can start profiting today.
So let's get right into it.
You should be reading this article if you haven't made any money online yet, are just starting out and need to re-learn the basics, or even if you still consider yourself a beginner in Internet Marketing.
There are main methods of making money online:
1) Selling Your Own Stuff
This involves creating an information product such as a PDF report containing a guide for something (how to lose weight, for example), an audio or video series, and/or tutorials. Basically you should be selling your visitors information which solves a problem that they're currently having.
Even if you're a beginner in the niche you're selling to, you can still collect information from elsewhere and compile it into a completely new product.
You can see why this is particularly effective in modern society, as we're increasingly becoming an information-based society to improve our skills to solve problems.
However, if you're an Internet Marketing beginner, you should avoid 'popular' niches such as weight loss, health and fitness, and the make money online niche.
2) Selling Other People's Stuff - 'Affiliate Marketing'
This is particularly effective for making easy cash, as someone else has already created a product FOR YOU, so you can jump straight into the marketing side of it to make some quick cash (which is what beginners usually enjoy).
Essentially, you sell someone else's product for a split of the profit, set by the product owner, usually as a percentage. This is called a 'commission'.
When you sign up to their affiliate programme, you'll be given a special link which you should send to your customers to order through. When someone orders through your link, the product owner will see it and pay you the agreed commission.
3) Advertising Revenue
The basic idea here is to build a website in a specific niche to receive a lot of visitors ('traffic') and eventually put advertising on it when it grows popular. This may be tough as a beginner, so it's usually best to create some authority for your personal brand to begin with.
Probably the most popular advertising advertising revenue source is 'Google AdSense'. All you have to do is copy and paste a unit of code on your website to display their advertisements, and you get paid every time someone clicks on one of the advertisement links.
Finally, there's advertising banners. These aren't as popular as they were previously, mainly due to losing their responsiveness and getting damn annoying, but are still a good source of income for people who consider themselves beginners at Internet Marketing.
So with all of these choices available to you, which is the most profitable in the long term? The answer: Creating and selling your own product. This is because you have freedom to change anything - the price, the offer, the product... Anything! Also, it's easier keep customers in the long term, which you wouldn't usually get with affiliate promotions.
I hope this article on Internet Marketing For Beginners has helped, and good luck with your product creating!
