Getting Started Online – Online Business Ideas For Beginners – Part I

There are many business models for an Online Business. It is often the Internet Business beginner’s daunting task to find these various business ideas, understand how they work, and learn ways to profit with them. It is also difficult to decide which model will work best for YOU.

In this first article I will explain 2 of the most popular online business types. I think they are a good starting point for online business newbies. The models I chose here are well-known, easy to learn, and there is an abundance of information that you can find, for little or no cost, to help you get started. These models are ideal if you are starting out with little or no start up money and limited internet experience.

FREELANCING

The first of this type is Freelancing. Once thought to be available only to the writers and artists of the world, freelancing is fast becoming one of the most popular ways to make money online. Sites like Elance, oDesk, Guru, and Rent-A-Coder have made it extremely easy to get started to get up and running with a freelancer profile in less than a few hours. Some of the most popular freelance openings are:

Writers – These include article and report writers, eBook writers, blog posters, forum posters, copy writers, review writers and much more.

Researchers – Web researchers have grown in popularity to become one of the most sought after freelancers. Research takes time and today’s online marketers would rather spend that time on other tasks and outsource the research tasks to others. This area of freelance requires no more than internet access, a computer, and time.

Graphic Artist – Logo design, banner creation and web page design is a great way to get started in freelancing. Perhaps your background and education is in this area OR you just enjoy it as a hobby. Either way, graphic artists do very well in freelance.

Programmers – This includes every aspect of programming. It seems this area is a mystery to many and those who need this service are willing to pay very good money for a good programmer.

Freelancing jobs are abundant. Check out the sites listed above and for more information about getting started. You can also check out Escape from Corporate America: A Practical Guide to Creating the Career of Your Dreams
by Pamela Skillings. Skillings is an author and career coach who writes about her escape from the corporate world and discussed how others can do the same.

AFFILIATE MARKETING

In a nutshell Affiliate Marketing can be defined as commissioned sales online. The difference with Affiliate Marketing is that you do not need to have a sales background to get started and you do not have to do any of that dreaded cold calling or the face to face sales pitch.

Affiliate Marketers are promoters of other people’s products and services. They make a commission based on the type of product or service and that company’s affiliate program. Many of these programs are very generous offering up to 75% commission per sale.

So what types of products or services can you promote? Just about anything! eBooks, websites, dog grooming products, electronics, outdoor furniture and many consumer products that you probably use yourself have affiliate programs available. You can look for affiliate programs on some of your favorite sites. Just look in the headers, footers, or sidebars of these sites for links called AFFILIATES, AFFILIATE PROGRAMS, or PROMOTE.

Another way to find these programs is through Affiliate Retail Outlets like Clickbank and Commission Junction. These sites offer Marketplaces where you an locate 100s of products and services to promote.

How do you promote these products once you find them? There are many ways to promote as an Affiliate. If you have a website or blog you can post banner ads on your site or you can promote through list building and email marketing. Review sites are another great way to promote products. You can create a brief review and then offer the product you are promoting within the article. You can even promote products without a website through Pay-Per-Click advertising or Article Marketing.

Affiliate Marketing is one of my favorite online business models because you can get started for very little money and with limited experience. If this seems like it might interest you then I recommend you check out Rosalind Gardner’s “The Super Affiliate Handbook”. It was the first book I read on Affiliate Marketing and it is one of the most comprehensive guides on the market today. Rosalind just updated her handbook in September 2009 with the most up-to-date techniques for Affiliate Marketers. It is required reading for any new affiliate.

Freelancing and Affiliate Marketing are two great ways to get started making money online. They are very appealing to the beginner because they require little or no money to get started and are suited for individuals with a variety of experience levels.

In the next article I will discuss more online business ideas including creating your own saleable product, micro sites, and pay-per-click. Check back soon!

WEEKLY FREEBIE – Search Engine Optimization For Beginners

This week I have been spending quite a bit of time on SEO.  It has become very apparent to me that two of the most vital areas of education for beginners should be SEO and Keyword Research.  Collectively, these two areas will not only be the most challenging for Internet Business beginners, but they will also give the most value and ROI overall.

With that in mind, I am focusing the freebies this week and next to SEO and Keyword Research.  This week is SEO.

The following guides will prove extremely helpful to beginners. They are both free to download and are in pdf format.  To read them you will need to download and install the free Adobe Reader if you don’t already have it.

The first is direct from the source.  Google offers up their Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide as a helpful tool to understanding the basics of SEO and what you can do to make your site more SEO friendly to both the user and the Search Engines. Although the guide was written in 2008, most of what is discussed is timeless SEO information.

The second guide is from Dan Thies.  It is the SEO Fast Start guide.  Dan is an SEO expert who has been at it since the days of Netscape.  Dan’s guide is 100 pages packed with essential information on SEO in easy to understand terms.  Dan discusses key areas including keyword research, usability, site structure, and link building.  It is a great guide for beginners.

I hope you will check out both guides and please leave me some feedback on them.

Next week my freebies will be focused on keyword research.  Stop back or just sign up to our newsletter for updates.

Here’s To FREEBIES!!

Generating Website Traffic – Viral Marketing Techniques Can Build Traffic

This is going to be the last article in the Generating Website Traffic series.

Please also be sure to read the first two articles in this series, The Power of Inbound Links and Consistent, Quality Content, to learn even more ways to drive traffic to your site.

In this last segment we are going to examine Viral Marketing Techniques that you can use for traffic generation.

One of the most valuable means of creating traffic flow to your site with little input from you is viral marketing. With it, you are able to send a marketing message to select recipients, who can then pass the message along to other individuals. This type of marketing is simple and cost-efficient, making it suitable to almost any budget.

When your products are high quality, your message is conveyed to a large number of individuals.

Online marketers have a desire to introduce excellent products and/or services to their own customers. For that reason, the more appeal your products/services hold, the faster you will spread your marketing message. This creates very high traffic to your site.

To launch your viral marketing crusade, create e-books, articles, and/or reports and send them to specific recipients without charge. This simply encompasses designing a product/tool, passing it on, and then allowing someone else to carry it on more, so any online marketer can do it.

Prime illustrations of viral marketing:

Present good quality products and/or tools that present your best marketing message. Create reports and e-books that are researched well and be sure to include your URL on each one. Most people enjoy receiving e-books and reports without charge. They should offer excellent information on your subject so that those who read them will want to visit your site. Those that enjoy what you’ve sent will redistribute the material, resulting in more traffic flow in addition to heightened product or business marketing. You can also offer a free service or product on your web site that spreads your message to an increasing number of people who hear about it. Send out news releases concerning the free service or product available on your site. This in turn will generate huge volumes of traffic to your website.

It can also be beneficial to create an affiliate program that offers links to your service or product. If you are able to afford them, offer financial incentives for those sites that are willing to pass on your unique marketing message to others. Allow Internet marketers to distribute your URL on their own lists by adding something such as a “recommend” or “refer” option on the site. You can generate tremendous traffic with an affiliate program promoting your site.

Make use of traffic-exchange programs to exchange site links with Internet marketers like you. Adding your site’s link to another website allows those who are interested to bookmark your site, or pass it along to others who might be interested in your subject material or product.

Create superior articles and request that webmasters post them without charge as site content.   If you are (or consider yourself to be) and expert in your field, create a report about that field and post it as free content on related sites, being certain to add your URL to the report. Distribute your best quality articles on sites that allow you to retain the reprinting rights, and more directories, e-zines, and newsletters with publish them, including your author resource box and company URL. In this manner, the URL is trafficked all across the web, generating a massive flow of traffic to your site.

Maximize your viral marketing power and you will spread your message over the web and generate massive traffic quantities to your site.

Tips For Affiliate Newbies

I have recently started studying information on becoming an Affiliate / Super Affiliate. I have been at this for about six months now and have spent a majority of that time doing a load of research on both products and programs. I have found a lot of useful information but have also found a lot more useless information, scams, and bogus content.

If becoming an Affiliate or an Internet Marketer is something that you have been looking into then I hope these tips will help you on your way and save you some time.

1. Do your research! Read all you can from other Affiliates and see what they are doing and how they got there. Reading their stories and How-Tos has proven invaluable and has helped me to avoid many Newbie mistakes. Two books I suggest are “Make a Fortune Promoting Other People’s Stuff Online” by Rosalind Gardner and “Affiliate Millions” by Anthony Borelli and Greg Holden. Both books are packed with vital information for understanding and mastering Affiliate Marketing. (You can link to both of these books from the bottom of this post.)

2. Don’t fall for all the scams. There are 1000s if not tens of thousands of products out there that promise to make you an overnight success…JUST SAY NO! One thing I have learned is that there is an abundance of free information out there via blogs and podcasts that can serve the same purpose as those $97 programs everyone is selling. Search iTunes for podcasts on Affiliate Marketing and Internet Marketing. Search for blogs on Internet Marketing and Affiliate Marketing. You can learn so much by just listening/reading.

3. Don’t expect immediate results. Growing a good Affiliate business will take time. Don’t expect to start receiving $1000 checks in the mail tomorrow. If you do…more power to you! (and uh, send me your secrets!) but chances are you will not. Don’t get frustrated…it will come!

4. Expect to put the time in. Building sites, writing quality content, and researching Affiliate programs takes time. Expect to put your nose to the grindstone a bit. If you already work fulltime, spare a few hours each night. Turn off that TV and get to work!

5. Know the products and programs you are promoting. Read the terms and conditions. Also, try to promote products and services you are familiar with. It makes writing reviews and promotion so much easier. If you have never ordered or used the product before, then order it…read through the material…scrutinize the ship time and Customer Service. Offering your customers quality products and services will build trust and keep them coming back.

6. Keep it real. Avoid content generators and programs that write articles for you. Although these tools will save time, they will lack quality and quality is what you want to build…not a lot of useless words on a page.

7. Promote it! Promote yourself…DONT BE SHY!!! Get out there and tell the world what you are doing, what you are writing and what you are reviewing. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Squidoo, and Tumblr will help you spread the word and share stories with other Affiliates…so get on it!

I hope these few tips will help you on your way and don’t forget to check out these two great Affiliate Marketing books to get you started.

To Your Success!

How Outsourcing Can Help the Busy Entrepreneur – Guest Post

If you’re a regular reader here, you’ll see that Deidre’s October 5, 2009, blog post: “DON’T GIVE UP! Beginners need to persevere!” is a perfect predecessor to the comments I’m including today about the beauty of “outsourcing” and tapping into utilizing a Virtual Assistant…

Been there, done that!

There’s a great, often-used saying that “experience is the best teacher,” and so I come as a “mini-teacher”–with a good bunch of offline and online experience I’m eager to share; a lot of it gathered from the assessments of my own recent e-journey as a VA.

For the most part, I know what you’re going through since I’ve walked in your shoes to some degree. Although I’d had years and years in an office support services setting, three-and-a-half years ago I, too, was a beginner to the online world of e-business with little to no idea what to do next or when. Or at what physical or financial cost!

I just knew I wanted to shift my knowledge and expertise to a profession that would help to keep me in clothes and food! I also knew that while I had a bucketful of experience, there would be some things I would not be able to or even want to do.

After a good deal of online research, I found the Virtual Assistant (VA) industry and eagerly but apprehensively entered its ranks shortly thereafter. A move that’s turned out to be a Godsend for me as I was able to earn while I learned!

Furthermore, I know that various members of the VA industry have been a significant “tool” in the online lives of thousands of solo-, small- and mid-size business entrepreneurs like you.

I’ll put this into perspective with this:

You’re “up to here” with an email box so full that a bottle of Rolaids isn’t strong enough to lessen the pain. You haven’t seen your spouse or kids for seven days because they’re sleeping when you’re working. You think there’s some “do” coming up but your appointment calendar is long-gone (or maybe it’s under the pile of papers on your desk)…wherever that is!

Facing all that in the wee hours of each day and into the spooky hours of the night, your conclusion is that you just might need a little bit of help. Goodness knows, you’re getting nothing done as it is now, nor are you able to even think about approaching a new client.

What about changing your letterhead, or the logo on your Web site–who’s got time for a Web site? Writing articles to submit to Article Directories; starting an Affiliate program? Uhhh! Forget about it!

These are just some of the things outsourcing can do or improve for you.

Particularly in today’s economic climate, it’s a tremendous benefit for you, the online entrepreneur, to have access to outside help, such as a Virtual Assistant (VA). One of the main “draws” to using a VA is the cost-effectiveness; you just pay for the time your VA spends on your specific project(s)—in addition, you can happily say “good-bye” to overhead costs when you engage a VA.

Some of the benefits to using a VA

• A VA operates from a remote location in her own fully operational office, with the latest occupational machines and software packages, so she finances her own utilities, telephone costs, and other associated amenities, and
• You’re freed from paying taxes and insurances costs for the in-house employee, and
• You don’t even have to be a “know-it-all” in each and every office procedure imaginable or have all the high-tech equipment

• Under your current circumstances you can’t take the time to find the assistance you need to help you operate your business so a VA can fill that void.
• Without some sort of outside support for your operation you realize you will be able to do no more than the basics that keep your business alive.

And right now, that means–no marketing, no networking; no nothing new!

So this is as good a time as any to let a VA (or some other outsourcer) “do your online walking for you.” Things like:

• Lining up appointments and keeping your schedule up-to-date.
• Communicating regularly with your clients, your business associates and managing your speaking engagements or purchase orders
• Managing email and promotions
• Creating Desktop Publishing, web design, or similar needs

In the process, your days will be shorter, your workload lighter and you really will begin to see that light at the end of the tunnel.

So here’s to you in “new beginnings,”

WEEKLY FREEBIE – eBook – Affiliate Marketer’s Tool Kit

One of my greatest talents has always been the ability to find FREE content on the internet.  The subject doesn’t matter to me.  I know that regardless of the topic I can always find free information, instructions, and more on anything I am learning.  I suppose it is a sort of game I play.  I always get a kick when I can find what I need without having to take out my wallet.  Just to be clear here, the free content I am talking about is LEGAL content.  I am not referring to illegal downloads or anything along those lines.  Besides, that would be too easy and I like the challenge!

I am definitely an advocate of free content and I have used it to learn everything from Photoshop to jewelry making.

When you are getting started with Online Business you want to learn as much as you can and many Marketers know this.  The proof is in the 100s of Internet Business and Marketing products targeted at “newbies”.  They are everywhere and beginners often get caught up in the trap of spending a lot of money on these products when they first get started.

If you are an Internet Business beginner I strongly suggest you look to learn as much as you can without spending any money.  You can easily do this with a little research.

This week on Learn Internet Business Today I am introducing a new weekly segment called WEEKLY FREEBIE.  In this segment I will offer the readers a link to some valuable free content related to Internet Business and Marketing.  It may be an eBook, a video, an article or a blog post but in all cases the informaation will be FREE.

This week I am starting off with a free eBook entitled “The Affiliate Marketer’s Tool Kit“.  The eBook is free to download and has 20 pages of valuable information about Affiliate Marketing.  If this topic interests you then I hope you will check it out.

Check back weekly for your piece of free content.

Generating Website Traffic – The Power Of Inbound Links

Welcome to the next segment in the “Generating Website Traffic” Series.  In the first segment of this series we addressed the power of content in generating a good flow of traffic to your website.  If you haven’t read that segment you can find it here.

In this segment we are going to talk about Inbound Links and how they assist in generating website traffic. If you don’t already know, Inbound links hold a high level of consideration by the search engines when they are ranking your site.  It is a long-term technique that any website owner should be aware of and master.  The more Inbound links you have, the more likely the site will be given value by Google and such.  There are many reputable ways to obtain Inbound links to your site over time.  I’ll list some of these here and then add some links to further reading at the end.

ARTICLE WRITING

One of the most common ways to build Inbound links is by writing and submitting articles to article submission sites.  Article sites allow you to spotlight your expertise and give readers the valuable content they are seeking.  After you have written your article, be sure to include links to your site in order to offer the reader additional resources on that topic or to find out more about you, the Author.  Even if you are not familiar with this process it is very easy to get started and there are several ways you can create content even if you are not a great writer or hate writing altogether (I’ll leave that for another article).  The most common ways that this provides Inbound links to your site is through the links you include within the articles and on your AUTHOR PAGE (make sure you complete your Author Page for each site).  Commonly, one of the great advantages of submitting articles to these sites that is overlooked is the potential for gaining hundreds more links through the sites Article sharing features.  Most Article Submission sites allow users to copy the articles which reside on their site and use them in their own websites or blogs so long as all of the links from the original article remain in tact.  That means every time someone copies your article to their site or blog YOU GAIN AN ADDITIONAL LINK FROM THEIR SITE!  MEGA BONUS!  There are many Article Submission Sites available to you.  A simple search in Google will reveal a number of these.  You can see my favorites in the LIBT TOOLBOX in our menu.  I also highly recommend to anyone who is getting started in Article writing to download Josh Spaulding’s “Article Marketing Domination”.  This was one of the first eBooks I ever purchased and it is chock full of very helpful information on Article Marketing.  You can get more information about Josh’s product HERE.  I have purchased this myself and yes, I do promote this as part of Josh’s affiliate program but I do believe, personally, that the information Josh has provided here is good quality information and it has helped me a number a ways in my Article Marketing campaign.

FORUMS

Another great way to get your site out to the masses and links back to your site is through Forums.  There are Forums out there for just about every topic. If, for example, you are selling Widgets, search for “Widget Forum” in your favorite search engine and you will most likely find a few that suit you.  When you find a Forum be sure it is active and has very recent posts.  This process will work best on active Forums.  Once you find one that you like, sign up and be sure to add a Signature Box.  Most forums allow you to add a link or two within your signature box.  Here is where you get the link back.  Add your signature box and then make sure you are an active participant n the forum.  Ask questions, answer when you can, and form relationships with the audience.  You will gain Inbound links from the forum by using this technique.

FREEBIES

We all love to get something for free so give the people what they want!  You can create a free report or resource list and offer it as a freebie on your site.  Once you have created your freebie, be sure to add it to your website and direct people where they can find it through social or other marketing methods.  Then, ask them to share the information and Voila! your link is out there fluttering about!

GUEST BLOGGING

Locate Blogs that are within your area of expertise. Aask the owners if they would be interested in allowing you to do a guest blog spot.  You would be surprised how many bloggers will be happy to give you a spot assuming your content is good quality.  It gives them a chance to get more activity to their blog and they don’t have to come up with content that day! =)   Just be sure the blogger will allow you to link back to your site.  This can be a very valuable and long standing Inbound link if placed on a very active site.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Get Social!  Use the Social Networks to promote your sites.  The easiest is probably Twitter.  You can be up and running very quickly and it is the easiest as far as promotion goes.  I have two quick Tutorials on Twitter if you are not familiar with it.  You can find them here and here.  Try out Facebook as well.  Be sure to promote and promote often.  The more you promote the more chances you have of people finding your site.

VIDEOS

I think this is a great way to get Inbound links.  Create a video and submit it to the various Video Sharing sites.  You can do a simple “Product How To” on something you are selling or a tutorial on using a great tool or software product online.  If you are not familiar with how to create and produce videos then I wouldn’t start with this one but you can definitely keep it on the short list for the future.

There are a number of other great ways you can gain Inbound links and you can find loads of information just by searching this term.  Some things for newbies to avoid initially would be LINK SHARING or BUYING LINKS.  There are so many scams out there and until you are familiar with these services you should avoid them.  Search Engines have also learned to ignore many link sharing and sites so it could just turn into a waste of time and money for you anyway.

The ideas listed above are a just a few to get yo started with building your inbound links.  Below I have listed a few more resources for you to continue your research.

Social Icons – What The Heck Are Those Thingys?

I recently set up a new computer for my friend’s mom.  It was her first “in home” computer and her first time using the internet in her home.

Hard to imagine right?!

Oh she had used the internet before at a friend’s house and the library but she had never had a home computer and never really used the internet for any length of time.  To her this was a new frontier.  It was a thrill to watch her as she explored the web.  It was also a very rare opportunity to gain insight from this point of view.  There were so many things that I take for granted while surfing that seemed so foreign to her.  It became very apparent of how ‘trained’ I was by the internet and how I expected things to be in certain places on a page or within a site.  If they were not where I expected them to be I grew frustrated rather quickly as I was attempting to show my newbie where to look for information.  This was, to say the least,  a great learning experience.

As we went to one particular site my friend’s mom inquired about the Orange RSS feed button.  “What the heck are those thingys?”, she asked.

I began to explain what the symbols meant and how they were mostly universal across the web.  I further explained how she could set up a reader and centralize her information (I used a newspaper analogy to make it easier) to save her from going back and forth between favorite sites.  After I explained this to her she told me that I should write an article about the icons so that other new users would know what they were as well.  So as promised, here it is!

WHAT ARE THOSE LITTLE THINGYS ANYWAY?

Those bright shiny buttons you often see on web pages, more often blogs, are called Social Icons.  Website owners use them as a way for readers to connect to other accounts that the website owner may have.  You may also see icons that allow readers to subscribe to the sites content.  These are commonly referred to as RSS Feeds. Although there are various designs for these Icons, they generally have the same recognizable look based on the sites they represent.  Below I have outlined some of the most commonly used Icons and what they are for.

FEED ICON

This symbol represents a link to the RSS Feed for that site or blog.  It allows you to subscribe to the content on the site through a reader. You can read more about RSS FEEDS here. You can find a READER here.

TWITTER ICON

This is a link to a site called Twitter. Twitter is one of many Social Networking sites which are common and growing rapidly on the web today. Twitter itself is a micro blogging site that is used to update information about yourself or your company to others in your network of followers. You will also see many people use various types of little blue birds (Twitter’s well known symbol) to represent Twitter. You can learn more about TWITTER here.

FACEBOOK ICON

Facebook is another Social Networking site that is commonly used by websites and individuals. It is extremely interactive and one of the biggest. You can learn more about FACEBOOK here.

MYSPACE ICON

MySpace is yet another Social Networking site which is similar to Facebook but most commonly used by the teen age group. If you know a 12-17 year old I almost guarantee they are on MySpace. You can learn more about MYSPACE here.

YOUTUBE ICON

YouTube has become the single most popular Video Sharing sites on the planet! It allows users to upload and share their videos with the world. It also allows anyone to view some of the millions of videos available from the web. Learn more abut YOUTUBE here.

DELICIOUS ICON

Delicious is a Social Bookmarking site. It allows users to ‘bookmark’ pages they find while surfing the web and “tag” them according to topic. This allows the user access to all of their favorite websites in one centralized location. You can learn more about DELICIOUS and how it works here.

There are just a few of the more common Icons you will see but the complete list is huge and changing all the time. Sometimes you will see these at the top of webpages, othertimes they will be at the end of articles so that users can share the information on their social network sites.

So now you know.

Keep Learning!
