The First Steps to Online Success!
Most people believe, if they don’t have a college education and a diploma in hand, their chance of success is limited in regard to starting their own online business. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some of today’s self made Billionaires went to college but never got a diploma. If you’re truly committed to your online dreams and have access to some available capital, you can build an online business that can provide a comfortable on line income for the rest of your life.
The internet is all about information and the technology of the internet is ever changing, so any new twist to any old idea could become the next big dot com boom.
When you start your venture on the internet there are no guarantees that you will be successful. As a matter of fact, if you started a new online business today, the chance of being in business 6 months from now, is only about a three percent. There’s a reason that businesses fail on line. The primary reason is because the business owners doesn’t know how to market online. They’re uninformed and don’t know who to turn to or where to go to find the right information. Seek the help of a professional marketer who specializes in this type of consulting.
The key to any successful business venture, is marketing. Just having a good looking website, with a lot of elaborate flashy features doesn’t necessarily mean that anyone will see your website. Unless your site is optimized for the search engines, you won’t get anywhere, because no one will find your site. If users can’t find your business opportunity, then your dead in the water before you ever start.
Your site may have a ton of information in it, and people may even know about the product you’re marketing but if the search engines don’t position your site with a good page rank no one will ever find you. The question is often asks….”then how does a person promote their home based business or products?”
There are numerous ways you can market your home based business. Traditional methods include the local newspaper with classified advertisement which was the method of choice for years. Your choice may be mailing flyers that was so popular for awhile. These methods of advertising can be limited in effectiveness and can become very costly. So think outside the box for other methods of getting your opportunity in front of the masses. The internet is the preferred way to promote your business.
The most effective way to market any home based business is to optimize your site and present it to the search engines correctly. The internet is a worldwide market, permitting you to expose your business to literally millions and millions of businesses and potential clients around the world all at the same time.
This is where the search engine plays their important role by generating traffic to your website. It’s imperative that you understand what the search engines expect in the source code of your website. It’s going to take you countless hours of intense study to understand how to do this all important function of optimization. There’s no way you’re going to learn this process overnight, so be patient.
The general public considers Google the leader in search engines. Many optimization specialist over look some of the other search engines, which could be just as important in any successful marketing campaign. Each of these engines has a different algorithm that they permit, so you must understand the concept of their guidelines and you must make sure your site is optimized accordingly. Trying to shortcut this part of marketing is like shooting yourself in the foot.
Your goal should be to have a page one or page two ranking on each of the major search engines. The average user will not search past page one or possibly page two to find information on any product or service they query with a search engine. The higher your page rank the more traffic you should get. If you don’t have traffic….you won’t make sales….if you don’t have sales….you won’t make any money. I think you’re beginning to see the picture here.
It’s understandable that anyone can start an online business and 95-97% if those businesses will wind up as failures, however, with the proper training, mentoring and coaching you can be one of the survivors of this rewarding business called “online marketing.
