What are you selling?

Make mone on the internet

Regardless of how you set up your site/blog on the internet, you have to have something to sell to someone, and then know how to market it, so its your site that they want to buy it from.

Over the next few weeks, I will give you some online marketing tops to show you how to make money on the internet, but first how do you want to make money?

With any type of business regardless of what youre selling, you need some type of plan. It is also a good idea to set goals, and examine where you are, and if you are heading in the right direction.

My whole life revolves around goal setting, both online and personal goals, it gives me confidence that I am doing something right when I reach them.

If youre after some fast money online, then you need to look else where, as I'm trying to push you in the direction of making a source of income from on here, not some quick cash that you will probably have to spend as much to get the same back.

There are different tyoes of ways to make money online, my advice is to try them all, and see what works best for you, you might find that you have some kind of skills in certain areas.

Ways to make money online that we will cover on here in the next few posts shall include affiliate programs, how to set them up, where to market them etc. and good old adsense.

Will you be able to retire by the end of the year, I doubt it! Will you make some money over the next few months, absolutely. If your mind can concieve, you can achieve.

Write down a list of things that interest you, that you can wite articles about with ease, or if you already have some product that your selling yourself, think of a different way that you could think about marketing it. Everything big starts with little ideas.

We shall make money online together.

Search Engines

Make money on the internet

To understand how to get ranked by a search engine, it helps to understand a little about search engines themselves.

Everyone knows how to use one right? You find your search engine site, type in what you want to find and you get a list of all the sites that are related to your enquiry. But not everyone searches the same ways.

Lets take "how to make money" as a search option. Someone might type it as just that, then someone else might try a get more specific about it like "learn how to make money on the internet", or you get others who type in a full question, then someone else might just type "make money".

How do we try and target all these people? is it possible? Hopefully over the next few weeks we can target all these keywords and get them to your site!

The three major search engines that we shall try and target to get traffic from are, MSN, Yahoo, and of course Google.

Google has been around since 1997, its become the most popular one, and its the one that most people try to get number one with! It's the most accurate one out there, and no-one really knows what gets you to number one, as it changes constantly, as when someone works out how to get to number one on google with seo, google will add some other criterior that you will have to work on. As long as you grow with the google algorithms with experimentation, you should do good staying on top. Try all old techniques, the new techniques, and try to keep up to date wuith whats going on with the internet, or it will leave you behind.

Yahoo is a search engine, but its also a web directory, a list of the different web pages on the internet, sorted into category, and sub category. Theres also a paid program to be listed in yahoo, which some think is the way you get to the top of yahoo.

MSN is the new kid on the block, and not as popular as yahoo or google. MSN searches are based on page content, which is good for a new site, emphasised for specific keywords. Being listed on MSN sooner rather than later will help increase your traffic.

How to get ranked highly in all search engines is trial and error, and you should only try one thing at a time so you know what works for your next site, and when you try something else, you know if that is helping you out as well.

Its all time and patience, but if youre willing to give it a lot of effort at first, then it will pay off in the long run. Keep an eye on the sites that rank at the number one positions, and see if you can work out what they do, as they didnt get there by accident..

Domain Names

Money on the Internet

You may be asking yourself how am I meant to make money on the internet with any of these ideas? But we will concentrate on actual money making ideas in future posts, firstly though I want you to understand the importance of setting your site up from the beginning and how all the little details will effect it later on! For now lets talk about the importance of domain names.

In other posts we have mentioned some ways that you can optimize your site, now we are going to break some of those down into more detail.

Firstly before you even think about setting up a site, you need to have the right domain name for you. Most people think of a business name or their own name for their URL, and some other people think that it doesnt matter what the address is, it's what's on the page that gets you to the top of the search engines.

If this is true, then why do people make huge amounts of money selling certain domains, and why are people willing to pay these prices for them? There must be some importance in the right URL. What's the importance of a name?

Open up your google browser and search for any type of product, the majority of the top ranking sites will have the keywords in their URL, even if the site that is ranking well below them has more content and is a better site. So try and have your domain name relevant to what your keyword is on your site. This will improve your site ranking.

Keep your name as short, you want people to remember it.

Get to the point in your name, dont have dashes, underscores, or other symbols that has no relevance to your keywords.

Try to have a dot com name if possible, these rank better, and are easier to remember as well.

Domain names are important, and having one with your keyword in it, will get you ranking higher than others.
