Internet Business Tips for Beginners

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the the flood of information on the internet?

It's becoming increasingly difficult to start an internet business and get the basics right. Beginner to intermediate internet businesses are challenged to market their websites via the search engines, pay-per-click engines, blogs and articles to attract prospects and customers.

As if the above is not challenging enough, web 2.0 and marketing with videos and audios only makes the list for the newbie entrepreneur longer and overwhelming. The solution is to take a step-by-step approach to market your website and learn advanced techniques after you've mastered the basics.

Here's a simple 4 Step Internet Business for Beginners Plan to Market your New Blog…

1. Why you Should Setup a Blog Instead of a Website

A blog allows you to easily easily add content without needing a webmaster every time you want to do so. You simply need to log into your blogs administration panel and you can post your content to your blog. You want your content to be found in the search engines real fast.

Search engines love blogs and often index them faster than websites. In addition, a blog automates many small tasks you'd normally need a webmaster for. This includes creating a site map for the search engines, including audio on your website and linking your website pages to each other.

2. Research keywords in your Niche with Expert Tools

My recommendation is to use eitherhttp://www.nichebot.com, or
http://www.wordtracker.com
, right from the beginning, as they are easy and powerful to use. And above all, you get all the keywords you need right now. Avoid fiddling with free tools. They won't give you the wide range of keywords you need. First, find out which keywords and topics you'd want to write about. Then find low competition and well searched terms you can write content about.

Post these articles to your blog and get some links to your article. The search engines will pick up your content and you'll now get additional visitors to your blog. By the way, Nichebot has video training on how to research keywords too. It's a great idea to join Nichebot if you're new to keyword research.

3. Submit Your Blog to Blog Carnivals

Add content to your blog at least 3 times a week and submit your blog to blog carnivals at http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit.php. Look for suitable categories to submit your blog and you should start seeing traffic soon.

Blog carnivals are very effective for getting traffic, but it does require you to invest some time to go through all the carnivals and select which ones apply to your niche.

4. Use a Paid Service to Submit Your Articles to the Article Directories

For a nominal fee per month, submit your articles on auto-pilot at http://www.submityourarticle.com to the article directories and hundreds of publishers on the internet. You'll get links from article directories and publishers which will boost your site in the search engines and you'll have webmasters using your articles on their sites.

This will help you to get even more traffic. You can save money by submitting to your article to article directories by hand, but it takes a lot of time to do so. I prefer paying to have articles submitted for me as it frees my time to create products and produce content.

    What is your experience on this? Any experience from you when the cost for the service is more than what you earn?

  3. Hi Calvin,

    The article submit service is well worth the monthly fee, if you intend to write articles every month to promote your site.
    Your earnings take time, as the articles you write get used by webmasters and article directories, and it could take a few days or months for them to use your article. In the long run though… you'll earn more than you've invested in the service.

  4. Good post. I haven't used nichebot yet, although I have used the free version of wordtracker.

    I also thought you had a good point with using paid services. While you may save money in the short run, you definitely lose money via opportunity costs.

  5. I have found blog carnivals, or writing contests to be very good for getting backlinks. Other people in them tend to link to you which is fantastic.

  6. Great ideas…I will definitely have to try submitting articles to the blog carnivals.

  7. Blog carnivals. I never though about that option. it should take no more time to write the article and is it a possible source of traffic and link juice.Great tip!

  8. I agree with a blog is a great way to start. I would also suggest most people get thier own domain name and hosting. You can get more links instead of a free hosted blog and have more control over your site.

    I like adding a blog rss feed any place i can also this seems to bring even more links to the site.

  9. 3. Submit Your Blog to Blog Carnivals

    How does it work? Is that like submitting articles to directories, and they publish our content. I tried to go through but if you can explain a bit will be easier to give a try..!
    Thanks!

    Hi,its a very nice post I have seen.It is very informative with respect to internet marketing.

  12. I also use spyfu.com when I make a keyword research. If you want to use Adsense on your blog, you probably want to find some high paying keywords, and spyfu will show you how much you can earn for every keyword you want. They have also a list with higher paying keywords.
