In this article I will describe the basic steps how to start your online business. First of all I would like to say that there are many ways to make money online but in order to be successful, you have to follow certain steps. So here we go.
Step 1.
In order to make money online, you have to sell or promote something. So the first thing to do is to decide what to promote or sell. Here you have two options.
a. Promote your own product
b. Promote an Affiliate product
If you don’t have your own product, you can create one, but it will take you some time and also an investment is involved to create the product. If you decide to promote an affiliate product, there is no investment involved and also you save a lot of time. After you decide what to promote, you can go to the next step.
Step 2.
If you have decided to promote your own product, you have two options.
a. Create your own website and promote the product exclusively from there
b. Open a ClickBank account and list your product there, so other internet marketers will promote it for you, and you will pay them commission for every piece sold.
If you have decided to promote an affiliate product, again you have to open a ClickBank account, but here you do not list a product but you have to choose from the market place other people’s products to sell and get commission.
Step 3.
If you are promoting your own product, start creating your website. It is better to hire a professional for this job, because you don’t want other people to think that you are not an expert. The website should look professional.
If you are promoting an affiliate product, now is the time to choose the right product that will make money for you.
Step 4.
This step may be skipped by those promoting their own products.
How to choose product to promote from ClickBank?
In order to choose the best and most profitable affiliate product for you, look for the following things:
a. Your affiliate product must be related to topic that you like or to your hobbies or passions
b. To offer high commission in matter of cash and not percentage from the price
c. To have high Gravity (gravity above 80 and bellow 200 is perfect for beginners)
d. To have high quality Sales Page
e. To have high conversion rate (anything above 2.5{237f1612553619ffce32c1db434b4b550dd58d79d938ea82d203150600eb3b76} is good)
f. To have support by the vendor
Step 5.
This step may be skipped by those promoting their own products.
After selecting your affiliate product, you have to generate your Hop Link from Click Bank and then purchase your first domain name. I personally recommend Go Daddy for your domain. After purchasing your domain name, set up the forwarding option so when somebody visits your domain name, will be forwarded to the sales page of the product.
Step 6.
Generate your keywords related to your product. Start with the single keywords and then go to the long tail keywords.
Example for keywords related to Money Making Products: money, money making, make money, win money, earn money, easy money, etc.
Example for long tail keywords related to Money Making Products: make money online, make money online from home, how to make money online, home based business making easy money, how to make my online business profitable, etc.
You have to make a list of at least 50 keywords related to your product. Try to find keywords that have big number of searches in the search engine, but relatively low results.
The best tool to start is Google Keyword Tool
Step 7.
Start You Promotion
Here you have many options to choose from.
No matter if you promote your own product & services or an affiliate product those methods will bring you customers.
In order to get customers, you need traffic to your website or your domain and then forwarded to the sales page.
More traffic means more money in your bank account.
There are two options.
Option 1 – pay to get traffic
Option 2 – get traffic for free
The first method will bring you traffic relatively fast, but if you are beginner there is a risk of losing money.
The second method may take some time to bring you traffic but it is free of any risk and it is also totally free of charge. You have to spend some time working however
Step 8
Free Methods of Getting Traffic
a. Article Writing – write different articles about your product and publish them to the net. The best article publishing website is Ezine Articles
b. Social Networking – create accounts in Facebook and Twitter and start making friends and then inform them about your product.
c. Video Posting – create You Tube account and upload funny videos, then include your website or domain name in the video.
d. Free Classified Ads – USFreeAds is the best to start
e. Create your own blog and invite people to visit and tell you their opinion
f. Yahoo Answers – create an account and start answering questions related to your product and send the people to your articles and from there to the product.
There are hundreds of free methods to generate traffic but those are the most popular and effective. It is better if you focus on one or two of those methods at a time and not get involved with all simultaneously.
Step 9
Paid Methods of Getting Traffic
a. Google Ad Words – open an account and start you first advertising campaign. Be very careful with the keywords you use because there is a possibility of losing money
b. Press Release – create an account with PR Web and start publishing your press release. It is an expensive and more advanced technique however the results are great.
c. Hire a professional from Elance to write articles for you and publish them to the different websites.
