Internet Marketing For Newbies

Just a quick note about a blog post I ran a cross this morning. I’m off doing a project (I’ll be posting to you about it soon) but I wanted to give you this link from the Entrepreneurs Journey Blog. Yaro did a post on how to simplify the niche selection process and it’s aimed towards newbies.

I found it interesting, people tend to do extensive research and become paralyzed. Yaro approach gets around this and lets you get your feet wet much sooner. So pick a niche/topic and start blogging, once your up and running you can then monetize the site using adsense, affiliate products, amazon, eBay and the list goes on.

Steps to get started after picking your niche/topic:

1.You need a domain name. Pick something based around the topic of your blog. There’s allot that goes into picking a domain name but for now, we just want you to get your feet wet. At the end of this post I’ll give you a link to a web site that will teach you all the ins and outs of Internet Marketing.

2. You need a hosting company for your blog, I would suggest you go over to Host Gator and sign up with them. There are are many reasons I suggest Host Gator but that is a post in itself. For now let just say, they are cheap, extremely flexible, and most importantly, reliable.

3. Set up your WordPress blog and start blogging. There is a site that I subscribe to and suggest you do also. Mark tends to be on the cutting edge of setting up WordPress, BANS, and monetizing a site. You can get all the information you need for setting up WordPress by checking out his blog at The Niche Store Builder.

The site I was referring to earlier in the post for learning Internet Marketing is Wealthy Affiliate. They are a subscription site but well worth the investment. Don’t be overwhelmed (but you will be) by the site, take the 8 week course and go from there at your own pace.

One more thing, above I talked about jumping in and getting your feet wet. This DOES NOT include PPC (pay per click)! You absolutely need to understand PPC BEFORE you do it. It’s a great tool but can cost you a ton of money if you do it wrong!
