Hello again:
People interested in Internet Marketing don’t want to be website builders. They want to be website users! Folks that profit from websites. But, being able to make a simple site that sells will give you a lot of flexibility.
You see, you could start out by picking a decent (already sells) little product and start building a little website featuring it!
What? You say you don’t know how to build a website? Why not?
Well, if you let that stand in your way, you are in for a tough go. It’s actually easy and later you’ll be way glad you learned how.
Now I’m going to tell you how to build your first website in a little bit but first…
Here’s how I do it. Let’s say I have picked a market and a product already.
I build what I call a simple sales site. It has a grabby headline. A picture or two. Some compelling reasons to buy it. A payment box. A redirect to a download page and…boom…they have it! That fast. I have their money and they have their ebook! If I’m lucky I have their name and email, too.
Is there some innate reason we have to see this as hard to do? It IS complicated. It is NOT difficult.
I can over-complicate anything. Sometimes I have to do one little thing, over and over, until I finally get the little detail right that I didn’t see for so long. Eventually I get it. I say …”Get ‘er done!” And when I do “get’ er done I celebrate a little. No harm!
Everybody should have a reason to celebrate, once in a while, for something they got done. Something that got them ahead a little. For me learning to build a website was one of those times.
You will also need a domain name and hosting account. You will also have to be able to upload your website design to your hosts servers but that is easy.
(If it was hard few would do it and that would be the end of days for the Internet Marketing world.)
But remember, a website that nobody finds cannot sell a thing! And, that is the big deal, the holy grail so to speak, that can make it all come together.
And that is Traffic! The more the better.
It is my opinion, even though I use Adwords, that Google is tricky and it can get expensive! I once set up and ad campaign with a little typo in it. In the URL! Then I forgot about it. Big mistake.
I paid for over a thousand clicks in the 60 to 70 cents per click range AND sent my potential customers to the 404 forbidden zone! Makes a great story now.
I feel that, at first, a prospective Internet Marketer should concentrate on traffic that can be generated by free methods.
And, I feel the best ways now are Article Marketing and Starting a Blog.
This blog is one of my best traffic generators and it’s growing! I hope to improve it daily.
And I have had some good traffic generation results with article marketing.
In the next post I am going to review what I think are the two best little ebooks in the world about Article Marketing and Blogging. I think you are going to love them.
I’d love your comments, as usual,
