2. This is one of the most common
questions that people ask when they
begin to think about making money
online.
How can you start an Internet
marketing business? What you need?
I am going to discuss how you start
and some of the important things that
you need to have in place
beforehand.
3. First of all I want to make sure that
you understand what Internet
marketing is.
I find there is a lot of confusion
about having an Internet
marketing business and choosing
Internet marketing as your niche
for your business.
4. When you start any business online you
need to learn how to market that
business so you need to learn Internet
marketing skills.
However, your business might be
about horse riding, gymnastics or some
other topic.
Whatever your niche is you still need to
learn about Internet marketing.
5. If you already know and have skills in
how to market a business online then
you could choose Internet marketing
as your chosen niche or topic for your
online business.
6. So now that you understand the
distinction I have just made let's now
focus on how you start any Internet
business.
7. Here are the most important steps
You need to first of all decide
what your business is going to be
about and what your niche is.
Ideally this will be something that
you have some skills in already
and certainly have a passion
about.
8. You need to make sure that there
will be plenty of visitors and most
importantly buyers that will be
interested in your particular
business venture.
9. Just as you have a shop for visitors
to come and browse in the off-line
world, you need a website for an
online business and this becomes
your selling platform.
10. You need to decide how you will
communicate with your visitors and
customers.
For me this means building a list of
subscribers so that I can communicate
via email.
Perhaps for you it may be creating a
Facebook group whereby you can
communicate.
11. Obviously you need to have
products and for an online
business I would recommend
producing your own information
products as this is very easy to do
and works well in many different
niches.
12. You also need to determine where you
will find your customers or potential
customers.
This means you need to find out where
online people are going to be who
might be interested and need your
particular product.
Once you know this you can begin to
get visibility in that place and build
relationships with them.
13. You also need to have some kind of a
plan in place to help you stay on track
to achieving what you have set as
your particular goals for your business.
Ideally if you have a plan which you
can reduce to a monthly and weekly
plan you will find that you will stay on
track more easily by being able to see
your progress week by week.
