Everyone is looking for the secret wealth formula and get rich quick scheme online these days. The truth is, building your online business and earning six figures a year from home can be done, but not overnight. Let me remind you that I said it “can” be done. Before we continue our discussion, let’s get the preconception that every business is a scam out of your head and clear up a few things. 95% of businesses fail online due to two simple factors. Number one, the level of your internet marketing and advertising expertise and number two, finding a business that offers real value to the end user. If you are able to master these two factors, you will find that anything is possible online.
Becoming a Marketing Master – There are so many different techniques being used in internet marketing today, it’s easy to get caught up in the next best thing and lose focus. Right now there are two techniques that have been proven to work and one of them is cutting edge that every internet marketer should be doing. The first technique is called “article marketing.” In article marketing, the Internet marketer writes informative articles that discuss or review a particular product or service. Taking this article and then submitting it to article directories provides content for hungry webmasters. In return, when a webmaster posts an article on his website, he provides a link to his service or product. Writing an impact article can lead to highly targeted web traffic and potentially a substantial influx of sales.
Your next question may be, “how do I know what to write about?” There are already many previously written articles on your topic. A simple search on http://www.ezinearticles.com will return articles related to your keyword search. Using several pre-written articles to rewrite your own article is a good start.
Apart from article marketing, video marketing is a new and upcoming technique. Google recently bought YouTube, a place where people can go and record videos of themselves promoting their business. Recording a simple video that introduces who you are and the service or products you have available builds credibility and marks you as an authority in your niche. Second, the Google search engine loves YouTube. Posting a YouTube video in the right categories using the right keywords in your header can get you top positions in the Google search engine.
Both techniques have been proven to work and have worked for many Internet marketers. Obviously, the more you do for each technique mentioned above, the more traffic you will drive to your business and ultimately put you in a profit generating position.
