Internet Marketing. What is it? Where to begin?
This website is dedicated to Internet Marketing. More specifically, Affiliate Marketing. I think we perhaps may need to define some terms before we proceed. There are various different ways to make money online – copywriting, website design, etc. But the term Internet Marketing tends to refer to selling things online. Affiliate Marketing refers to selling other people’s products over the web.
This is probably best explained by way of illustration. I build a website which it dedicated to lawn mowers. It reviews various makes and models. So, I provide a service to the visitors to my site with detailed, thoughtful comments on the different mowers. But I also include links in my reviews directing the reader where they may find more information about the product. If they click on that link they will be taken to a merchant who provides technical information about the mower but who also sells the mower. If the visitor buys I – as the referrer – get a percentage commission on the sale.
Let me be straight with you. The fact is, 90% of internet marketers will make less than $100 a month. Therefore, you shouldn't count on making full time income unless you can:
1. Building an attractive Web site that interests visitors and sends them to the merchant.
2. Promote your Web site to the top of Google. Most people find what the want online by doing a Google search. Ideally you want to be the first result Google returns for their query.
3. You select the right market, product and merchant.
Too many people out there assume that affiliate marketing is actually a get rich quick type of program. These types of people will throw up a couple of banners, then wonder why they never make a single sale or any money at all.
How long you'll need to do it depends on how much money you are wanting to make, how much time and effort you are willing to invest in your online business. If you are a quick learner and really good at affiliate marketing, you may exceed $2,000/month in 2 years.
If you decide to give it a try, the hardest challenge will be the first few months. Where you will probably have to put in the most effort but will not see any immediate return for your labor. Like the farmer, you will have to wait several months to see the return on investment. If you check your stats and see that you are only making a couple of bucks, you'll find yourself wondering if all the hard work was worth it. If you get some sales going and stay committed with your hard work, the commissions should start growing.
By sticking with affiliate marketing, you'll learn more and more over the years. You can't expect to be the best when you first start, it'll take a lot of hard work and dedication. By putting the time and effort into your programs, you'll be well on your way to making it in the very profitable and exciting world of internet marketing.
Probably one of the biggest deciding factors in whether you succeed or not is where you start – as the vast majority of people require some kind of training, where do you get this training? You’ll quickly learn, if you don’t already, the web is full of sharks. This site exists to direct you where you can find training in Internet Marketing that is genuine and worthwhile.
The Physical Affiliate Review
Jobs for Mums Review - The Physical Affiliate training programme is a new course aimed decidedly at those with little or no experience in online marketing. It is the creation of Jan Roos who has produced a very simple, step-by-step, easy to follow scheme in print and video. The Physical Affiliate’s focus is specifically on working as an affiliate to Amazon.com (selling products advertised on Amazon for commission,) but the principles established are applicable to all internet marketing.
Jan’s own story is one of rags to riches. After spending several years achieving nothing marketing online – apart from accumulating debt – he relatively recently started selling physical products (as opposed to information products, like training courses!) as an affiliate for sites like Amazon.com. He is now earning over $5,000 per month!
Market Samurai Review
Jobs for Mums Review - The Market Samurai is a slightly different animal than most of the other options for the online marketing beginner. Most alternatives are teaching courses that may have software associated with them. Market Samurai is a piece of software that has a course of tutorials attached to it. In other words it is first and foremost software and the teaching component is an add-on, but we devote an entire review to it as it is an exceptional software package and the tutorials are among the most professional and comprehensive available.
The software, which is named “Market Samurai”, is one programme but has various units within it. These assist the user through the various stages of developing a new niche website, from identifying a market opportunity and a suitable product for that opening, through selecting an appropriate website address, finding content for the website and promoting the website so that it finds its way up the search engine ranking and potential customers can find it easily.
Niche Blitzkrieg Review
Jobs for Mums Review - The, perhaps unfortunately named, Niche Blitzkrieg programme is a combination of written tutorials, videos and a support forum aimed specifically at the newbie. It is the creation of Michael Brown who has been described as one of the nice guys in internet marketing, a world in which there are more than a few sharks, and the forum, which is an essential component of the course, is administered by John Mann, another well known and respected name in this field.
Niche Blitzkrieg focuses on “affiliate marketing” (selling other people’s products.) It takes the completely inexperienced beginner through the process of selecting a market, product(s), getting a domain name (website address), building a website and promoting it on the search engines like Google.
