What I m going to share is the REAL experience that I faced and challenged
in getting my Internet business online successfully.
But hang on, before we jump into understanding the Online Internet Business Models, I want to start out by telling
you that this “Internet Business” really isn't that tough, once you figure it out. The
important lesson I have learnt over the years is to Hang in there, apply what you
learn and you will become 100% successful.
When it comes to making money online there are three elements that everyone MUST have in order to succeed:
1 — Something to sell
2 — A website that makes the sale
3 — People coming to that site and buying
Getting items 1 and 2 set up and in place are as easy as pie. In fact, you can have these in place in
the next 10 minutes. But it’s that third element, getting real people to come to your site and buy
something, that has most people stumped. |
Essential Tools For Online
Business

Getting visitors to your site is called, in Internet terms, getting traffic. And there is no
other topic on which so much is written, and so much is wrong.
Being a fairly simple minded fellow, I like to keep things simple and easy to understand. In
that light, here are some thoughts on understanding, and getting, traffic.
FIRST THINGS FIRST…
There are basically two types of traffic:
What this means is that you are going to have to pay for traffic through either your efforts
(free traffic) or your pocketbook (paid traffic).
Everybody pays… some with time, others with money. I’m sure by now you know that the “three
click” wonders don’t work for anyone … except the people selling them!
So there is paid traffic and free traffic. Nothing more. Nothing less. Let’s look at each and
see how they work.
In this post I’m going to touch on free traffic. In future posts (there are a few parts to this
series) I will dig deeper into both free and paid methods, including what’s working now. First, an overview of free
traffic methods that actually work, and some to avoid.

>>>> Free Traffic
<<<
If ever there was a siren song of the digital age, ‘free traffic’ is it.
Can you really get absolutely free traffic to your site? Sure.
Can you build a business based on this traffic? Yes.
BUT – and there is always a but – you will have to learn how to get it and work
hard as well. If that’s okay with you, let’s look at how it works.
Here are the main sources of free traffic, along with a word about each…
|

|
>>> SEARCH ENGINES
Often touted as the #1 way to get free traffic, the tactic here is to get your site listed in
the venerated ‘top ten’ search results. You can’t trick the search engines, so the best way to do this is to
provide content, and lots of it.
If your site is helpful to human readers you will do well.
If you try and outsmart the search engines to get traffic you will go broke buying the latest
and greatest thingy that simply won’t work, or won’t work long.
Create a content rich site and the search engines will reward you by displaying that site when
people search for the type of information you provide. But the content must be high quality and must be original.
No rehashed PLR content for you. That will only get you banned, busted and begging for mercy.
>>> FREE ADS
Free ads are a mixed blessing. They are free, which is good. They usually don’t work, which is
bad.
If you can get a free ad in a place where ads are usually sold, like the free ad you get for
subscribing to some ezines or classified ad sites that are visited by people, then it might be worth the time.
BUT – ad blasters and automated submitters do not work in testing and are to be avoided.
>>> ARTICLES
Without a doubt, marketing with articles is the #1 free traffic method. You don’t need to be
Hemmingway to do this.
All you have to do is write a short article – about 500 words works best – that describes a
problem people face and also provides ways to solve that problem.
HOT TIP: Have you been frustrated in your efforts to get an online business started and making
profits? Have you learned from that experience? If so, that makes great article material. See, you really do have
something to say!
Once your article is written, you can submit it to article directories, ezines, other website
owners, and more to get the widest possible distribution.
Write and submit an article a week and very soon you will get very interested visitors who are
proven to buy.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: How long have you been trying to make money online? What
if you had written only one article a week during that time? For many reading this it would mean an inventory of
100 articles or more. And that is a large enough inventory of articles to make many many sales! Put time on your
side by writing articles every week, and more often if you can.
>>> VIRAL MARKETING
Viral marketing basically means creating something of value that others can give away while
making sure you benefit from it being given away.
The key here is that you both win when the product is given freely.
In most cases, the person who gives the book away for you wins by providing good information
that they don’t have to write.
You win because the product contains links back to your site.
A real win-win!
The most common form of this is either software or a short e-book or report.
Creating a viral marketing e-book is a win-win situation. You win because the links in the
product are yours, so you get paid when people click. Readers win because you provide valuable information and they
can give the booklet free from their website.
>>> PUBLISH AN EZINE
Publishing an ezine is highly profitable and easy to do. All you need to do is gather, or write,
articles about a specific subject and publish an ezine (like the one you are reading now) on a schedule. That might
mean every week, or every month.
You can get great articles from all sorts of places, like article directories or ezine
directories.
Publish an ezine, offer it to everyone in your address book and who visits your site, and watch
your traffic grow.
>>> PUBLISH A BLOG
This is super easy today. If you have a hosting account, the chances are you have blogging
software on that account free. If not, you can always use Blogger.
The basic idea here is the same as a website … provide great content and the search engines send
people.
The advantage to a blog is that you can have some interactivity by letting people comment, and
you can easily structure your blog for easy reading. Plus you can offer an RSS feed for those who prefer that
method of getting content automatically.
Set up a blog today, provide great content, and the search engines will send traffic over
time.
>>> PARTICIPATE ON FORUMS
This is an excellent, and free, way to earn while you learn. The idea here is to visit forums
that are specific to your site and post questions or make comments.
This works well if you understand reciprocity and are wiling to give a bit before you receive.
It does not work at all if your forum post is simply an ad in disguise.
Once forum members get to know and trust you a bit they will visit the site you list in your
signature area. If you visit the forums specific to your topic of interest and get involved, you will get very
targeted free traffic on a steady basis. I know of one major marketer who built his reputation using this method
more than any others. This works!
As you can see, there are many ways to get free traffic to your site. These methods take time
that could be spent doing other things.
But if you have more time than money at this point in your life, these techniques will work to
get traffic to your site.
I hope they work for you too.

Business.
CAUTION # 1: If you are a newbie, and wanted to pursue Internet Marketing as a Full time
Business; my first advice is "NOT TO QUIT your regular job"; no matter what you have in
mind. Simply Just don't do it. Take this as a Part Time Business and once you have reached the target you had set,
then take a decision.

CAUTION # 2: Before you jump to any conclusions, let me clear one notion. I am
NOT an Internet Guru. I am ONLY here by choice, to share my real experiences that will guide
and support you to understand your "own online
business" simply better.
I say this because it took me over five years to understand this and of course with a huge blow
to my pocket. I understand the happiness you have working
online from home; but just like you, I too bought every new ebook that said, "Make Money Online
with Three Clicks...."
My entry into the world of Internet Online Business was around five years back; With a single goal in mind;
To become financially free. Over the years, I have seen many of my own friends, collegues
and entreprenuers becoming successful and have also experienced many who were unable to make it.
TRUTH #1: On this journey, I discovered two main important Key
factors that helped me be successful; Let me share them with you. They are Self Motivation
& On Hands Experience. These two keys managed my failing steps in business to success.
Through this Site, I will share with you my realistic strategies that even you can implement into starting your own
business online. Just make sure you book mark this site. Press Ctrl + D to BookMark this Site.
Today, I will show you the simple 3-Step System; This will be your first step in succeeding on the Internet. If
you've been struggling to make your Internet business work for you, then this will show you the right path to
follow.
CAUTION #3: I also want to tell you that I'm not going to guarantee
anything. I don't know you or your situation, your skills or your talents. What might work for me, may or may not
work for you. But what I am going to tell you, however, is that if you follow these simple steps in this
system, you should be well on your way to becoming a success on the Internet. Very soon you should be working from home.
Step 1 – The Tools
Without the proper tools you will not succeed in your Internet business ventures. That's a
guarantee!
A carpenter can't build a house without a hammer and nails. It's just that simple.
If you don't acquire the proper tools for your Internet marketing business, you're not going to
succeed. Period.
So, what tools do you need?
Tool #1 – A Website...
You may have heard it before, but until you get your own web site, you will not have very much
success with your marketing efforts.
The number one reason you need to get your own web site is so you can brand yourself. Branding
allows you to become known around the Internet. It gives you a unique
personality on the Internet and sets you apart from the millions of others out there.
Another big reason you want a web site of your own is so you can control the content. When you
start to run your blog you want to be able to advertise products on it. Many of the free blog solutions do not
allow you to do any sort of advertising.
There have been many marketers who have lost their blogs on a free blog site due to violation of
the advertising policies. If you own your web site, within the terms of the hosting company, you can control the
content on that site.
I host all of my web sites with Hostgator. They provide UNLIMITED Disk Space, UNLIMITED Bandwidth
FREE SiteBuilder, EASY Control Panel, 1-CLICK Script Installs with mysql databases, and so much more for a low
monthly price.
Tool #2 – An Autoresponder...
“The money is in the list.” You've probably heard it a million times. If you don't have an
autoresponder, you will not be able to build and maintain a list of any significant size.
An autoresponder is basically a service that will allow you to email your leads on a scheduled
or on-demand basis. A good autoresponder service will allow you to create a series of emails to start sending your
subscribers immediately.
This is useful to create an e-course or to set up a series of emails that will allow you to
automatically sell your own or affiliate products over time. You should also be able to send out a broadcast email
on-demand to your list using your autoresponder service. This will allow you to promote the latest affiliate
promotions to your list as they come out.
The number one reason to use an aweber autoresponder is that it allows you to build a relationship with your subscribers.
Developing a relationship is very important in your Internet Marketing efforts. How many times have you received
a promotion for some new product, and waited to see if you receive the same promotion from a specific marketer you
like?
I've done that a number of times, if for nothing more than to be loyal to a friend. I've even passed over some
incredible bonuses to purchase through the link of a friend!
So, you need an autoresponder in order to build a relationship with your list. The better the relationship the
more sales you'll make.
Now, before you get upset about the idea of selling to your friends, think of it this way. If
you purchase something from Amazon.com, you'll receive several offers a week from them. Buy something from your
favorite online clothes store, you'll start getting more offers to your inbox. The point is, when people buy
something from you, they expect to be sold something else. If you don't try to sell them anything else, they will
leave your list and you're business will go broke.
Bottom line, you need to build a relationship with your list, and you make offers to them to
make an income.
Tool #3 – A Product...
Now, when I first heard that I had to have a product of my own, my first thought was, "There is
no way I can create a product." If you're just starting out, I'm sure you probably feel the same way.
However, last year I discovered a secret, you don't have to create a product from scratch!
There are two types of products that you can use so you don't have to create your own
product.
The first is PLR products. Private Label Rights or PLR is a product that basically someone else
creates from scratch, and sells you the rights to modify it and call it your own. Up until this product you're
reading right now, all of my products have been modified PLR. (Shh, don't tell anyone, I've done very well building
my list with those products that I didn't write myself!) ;-)
PLR gives you the opportunity to create a unique product without having to come up with it
yourself. However, if used incorrectly you can get yourself into a lot of trouble. To get 100% original access to
The Ultimate PLR Article, I always recommend Nicole Dean, the only place on planet earth that provides Original content.
The other type of product is a "product" that you can rebrand. Rebrandable products are created by someone else but they allow you to change the links to
their recommended resources to your own affiliate links.
Usually when you purchase the rebranding rights you are given a rebranding package which usually includes a
rebranding software that allows you to put your affiliate ids into the product. A new type of rebranding is online
rebranding where you don't actually receive a rebranding software, but you put your links into a page online then
are allowed to download the product already rebranded.

Meanwhile, I have explain a few tips that can be helpful to get started either by working at home; How
To Get Your Products ( PLR or Resell ); How To Get Your Page On Google.
My eBook Store provides the best deals, Here you get to
