The document discusses the author's experiences getting started with internet marketing. It describes how they purchased resale rights to internet marketing DVDs but realized they lacked knowledge about the market. They watched the DVDs to learn more and was inspired to create their own website. The author struggled at first with deciding on an idea and learning HTML, but was able to put up 3 basic websites using Dreamweaver's free trial. Their next steps are optimizing the sites for search engines to start driving traffic and testing different marketing strategies.
2. Ok so the whole Internet Marketing thing can be quite
scary when you first get into it. I thought I'd share some
of my experiences to date.
3. I have been looking at Internet Marketing for a while. I
managed to get some resale rights for a DVD set about
Internet Marketing. I planned on selling these DVDs Off-line
to a mailing list that I payed for, to people with
internet businesses and websites. So I found myself
writing my sales letter. With no previous experience of
writing copy this proved difficult. What proved more
difficult was the fact that i was trying to sell to a market
that I wasnt in and had very little knowledge about! I
decided that I really needed to find out what Internet
Marketing is all about. So I sat down and watched all of
the DVDs I'd planned to sell and try to understand as
much as possible as quickly as
4. possible. The dvds are from a seminar that was held in
Las Vegas. The seminar was the "Internet Marketers
Superconference", and the speakers where the biggest
names in internet marketing. People such as Armand
Morin, Bruce Clay, Carl Gelleti.
5. With an ever increasing knowledge base about different
marketing strategies and ways to make money on the
internet, I was itching to start builing my own site and
start making money. So off I went and registerd a
domain, set up a hosting account and really started to
move in the right direction. It was then that I really
started to struggle. I had so many ideas flying around my
head I didn't know where to begin. What was i going to
sell? What Market was i going to sell to? What about the
basics?, I'd never built a website in my life, all that html
code looks so complicated. So i decided that I'd just get
up there and give it a go, if I need to learn something, I'll
learn it, somehow.
6. I downloaded a free 30 day trial of Dreamweaver That
proved to be a great tool. It's surprising how easy it is
usuing that software. I have now put up 3 websites. I
used the same hosing account and created Sub-
Domains. I think this is great, I can basically create as
many sub-domains as I want, publish them as individual
wesites and i only have to pay for one account!
Fantastic! By the way, I published the Three websites all
before the 30 day Free trial of Dreamweaver expired!
8. I'm learning about search engine optimization. I need to
get ranked by Google. I need to get as much traffic as
possible to my sites so i can start testing different
Marketing Strategies.

feedback.
