The First Step to Successful Internet Marketing
I’m not going to tell you it’s easy to make a livelihood online. However, I’m not going to tell you it’s impossible either. When people search for ways to work at home or make a livelihood online, they’re often looking for immediate results – a cash flow that will take the place of a traditional job and pay all their bills. They don’t realize that any business opportunity they find will take some time to develop, even if they sign up with a program that automatically provides traffic. They have to prove that THEY, not just their product, but THEY are worth investing in. It’s quite possible to make a large amount of money online, but it takes patience and persistence. It’s like a bomb with a long fuse.
Many people who make money online are promoting numerous services either as direct sellers or affiliates. One of the keys to being successful is having a well-built main website where you can provide your own opt-in form to build your mailing list and link to all your products. So, it only makes sense to make one of your first products a webhosting package.
One way I make money is through Adsense, the advertising program for Google. When people click on the ads I display on my website, I earn money. I need to be able to control what ads appear on my website, so I use the WordPress platform and host it on Teamwork Revolution Power System. With TWRPS, I needed to only refer two people to have my monthly fee, which includes unlimited hosting and domains, paid for me. TWRPS is a reliable webhosting company. I have never had an issue with downtime, security, or other problems commonly found with web hosting. Their support has been very helpful and quick in responding to my needs. So, I recommend them for all your website hosting needs.
WordPress has hundreds of plug-ins that add enhancements to your blog. One of those is a capture form that lets people opt-in to your newsletters or promotional e-mails. This is the safest way to do e-mail marketing. If visitors want to sign-up for the information you have to share, they are less likely to flag your e-mails as spam.
If you choose a more conventional website builder, AWeber Communications provides an affordable e-mail marketing and database service that will provide you with a form you can position in your website.
Once you have your website setup with a capture form, guide all your prospects to your domain. It will allow you to better track which promotions are working for you and help you keep all your contacts in one place. Plus, if you direct visitors to your website for one product and it turns out they aren’t interested in it, they may be interested in something else you have to offer. It’s a win-win situation.
