attitude. :)
Let's get into the meat of the lesson...
So what are the basic steps to making money online?
1) You must determine a niche market and a niche product
which
you want to master. Choose a product that has a personal
interest for you, learn everything you can about it, and
then you can
market it.
If you are just getting started, choose to market someone
else's product. Once you have mastered the sales end of
things,
and are making a living selling for someone else, then you
can begin to
develop your own product.
2) You must get your own web site up and running. If you
already do, great. If you know a programming language, get
to
it. But if you do not, do not try to learn one. Use a
site builder
program---they are easy to use, and you can usually have a
basic web site up and running in a few hours. Note: Most
web
hosting services offer a site-builder program for free with
their web hosting (you have to get web hosting anyway). If
you don't have
one, I just so happen to create and sell site builders. Go
to
SmartAuthor.com to see the list of software. It's in there.
Word to the wise:
3) You must get an auto responder. In 2008, it is
absolutely
critical to be able to easily email all your contacts on a
regular
basis, and you do not want to mail from your own email
account.
All it takes is one SPAM complaint and your email may be
shut
down.
So get an auto responder. I use GetResponse. Many like
Aweber.
If you use one that doesn't have a monthly fee, you may
find
that you don't get the deliverability that you want. That's
been my experience.
4) Create a "squeeze page" on your web site. A squeeze
page
basically asks a visitor to your web site to give you their
name
and email so you can email them information. This is
critical
to
building an online business in 2007. You can get a free one
at
5) Create a series of letters for your autoresponder.
These
emails will introduce yourself to your subscribers, and
share
with
them valuable information regarding your chosen niche
field.
You
will also use these letters to introduce your readers to
your
niche
products.
6) You must generate traffic. In 2008, some of the most
popular
methods are ezine advertising, article marketing, exit
traffic
and
(believe it or not) banner ads. You must get traffic or
all
the
prior steps are useless--you won't make money without
traffic.
7) You must test everything you do. Everything. Test
your
web page, squeeze page, welcome letter, each email in your
auto
responder--everything. I like Adtrackz. There are many.
At this point, I'd like to introduce you to a resource that
I
think is just fabulous for literally taking you by the hand
and
mapping every single step for you.
You literally follow the steps, like
in paint-by-numbers, and create your web business online.
It

On tomorrow's lesson I will teach you about niche marketing
and
determining the best niche for you.
