Internet Entrepreneur – The Basic of Promotion
1. Internet Entrepreneur – The Basic of Promotion
This article is presented by – http://www.internetmarketingtipsblog.com
Hello, and congratulations on becoming an Internet Entrepreneur with your very own Web
Business!!! To get you fast-tracked, here are a selection of tips and tricks to make your online
business a success that it deserves to be.
1) First of all, choose a domain name that is somehow related to the business you are in. For
example, if you are looking for a domain name for your pillow business, you might want to try
using a name like www.SquarePillows.com or www.PillowSleep.com. It is important to use a
“real” domain name. Your visitors will not take your business seriously if you use a free domain
name like www.tripod.com/squarepillows , or www.angelfire.com/pillowsleep . A lot of the good
domain names are already spoken for, but if you are patient enough, you will search and find
one that is still available. If you think that you will need more than one domain name, get that
one now too, as thousands of names are taken up each day. Do a search under “Google” using
“cheap domain names” as your search words. You will find some very reasonably priced
domain registrars. Amongst the cheapest one that I have found so far is at www.GoDaddy.com.
They are a full service operation offering web hosting and cheap, cheap, cheap domain
registration.
2) You will need a hosting service for your domain name. The hosting service allows your
domain name and all of its content to be viewed on the internet. This is easy to handle. You
have basically two choices here. You can pay for the hosting service or get it for free. If money
is not really a problem for you, then you may want to choose the paid version. Just do a search
using “Google” with “web hosting” as your search words, and take your pick from the
thousands of sites. You will find that the price charged varies wildly depending the services
required. Now if you want to explore the free version…. There are a lot of free hosting companies
on the internet. The problem with these free hosting companies is that they all require some sort
of pop-up banner, static header or footer banner, or both, to be placed on each and every web
page. These banners can contain all kinds of advertising, and some, or all of it, may not be
welcome to the viewers on your web site. The free hosting option is certainly not the best one to
explore. To save you time, I would recommend www.GoDaddy.com again for the most
economical hosting of your web site.

3) Once you have your domain name and hosting service taken care of, you will probably need
a way of uploading your web content to your site. Sometimes your web hosting service provider
includes a site manager that allows this function. If not, then you might want to look into
downloading some FTP software such as WS_FTP for example at www.ipswitch.com. While
you are downloading software, you may also want to add WINZIP – located at www.WinZip.com
to your download list. WINZIP allows you to “unzip” your “PillowSleep” file for example. A file is
initially “zipped” to compress it for ease of downloading. To use this download zip file, you will
have to “unzip” it first.
4) Your “PillowSleep” site probably needs a little more customizing. Look at other pillow sites
on the internet for comparison and see what could be improved visually on your site. Does it
need any flashy graphics? There are many free graphics available on the internet – just do a
search with google. Once you are happy with the way your web site looks, it’s now time to
focus on that fun part – html coding. Unless you are very comfortable using “html” coding,
don’t touch the “html” coding on the “PillowSleep” pages at all. If you are comfortable using
“hml”, then you could add things like Title, Meta Keywords, Meta Descriptions, etc., which
would allow the search engines to find your web site much easier. The use of “keyword
phrases” is much more useful than just using “keywords”, because it makes your web site
more search specific. Go ahead and add a “Pillow” links page too. Another tip is always keep a
hard copy of your web pages somewhere, either on a floppy, cd, or dvd. There are few things
worse than customizing a web site and if something bad happens to your computer or hard
drive, losing the web content forever.
5) At this point, you probably already have uploaded your web site and have it online. Now you
need to “drive” visitors to your site. One popular way of bringing traffic to your site is to use a
free link exchange or free link trading service. For the free link exchange service, you just sign
up and put a little bit of code on your “Pillow” web site (this allows other Pillow web site banners
to be viewed on your site and vice versa). The free link trading service is very simple also. You
simply add another pillow’s link to your links page and vice versa. This trading of links
increases your sites popularity greatly with the search engines. One of the most important
things you can do to gain traffic is to get listed with the major search engines. Go to each
search engine, or use a free service like www.AddMe.com and add your web site there. There is
also what is called “pay-per-click” search engines where you actually pay for traffic sent to your
web site. Other search engines require payment in order to get listed with them at all. “Yahoo”
is one of these “pay” search engines.

3. 6) Please be advised that is illegal to “Spam” on the internet or via e-mail. Spamming is
sending unwanted e-mails or putting internet advertising material, or internet material in general
where it should not be. That being said, another method of marketing and promoting your site is
to add your site to casino and gambling message boards and free for all links pages. Please
check to see if it is ok to post your info there first, and in which category, and anywhere else
before posting there. If you “Spam”, you risk losing your internet service provider, and possibly
your web host with all of your web content. It’s just not worth the trouble.
7) Another way of promoting your site is to add your web site address to your business cards,
and/or make up flyers and posters. Don’t forget to get permission before you post anything
anywhere. If you have other web sites, add a banner and/or link to your “Pillow” site there.
Make a t-shirt with your “Pillow” graphic and web address on it (on both sides of the t-shirt) for
yourself to wear. If you want, add your “Pillow” graphic logo and web address to different
products like baseball caps and coffee mugs, and give them away as promotional items. Buy an
ad on a bus stop, or a small classified ad in the local paper, or radio ad, etc. How about getting
two of those “12 inch x 12 inch” sticky, bendable, removable, flat, “magnet ads” made up at
your local printing store to put on the sides of your vehicle’s doors. When you drive around the
city, every body will see your web site ad and when you get to your destination, simply take the
sign off until you leave again. How about putting one of your “Pillow” flyers or small posters on
the inside of your vehicle’s rear side glass areas. Just make sure it doesn’t obscure your
vision. The idea is to use your creativity here.
