Home Internet Marketing Business | How I Got from Zero to Flight

September 26, 2009
By internet-marketing-mba

I started a new home internet marketing business this year, and after years of trying to do something on the web I finally got a home internet marketing business off the ground. I thought I might dedicate a blog to describing my journey in the hopes that others might benefit and learn from my fledgling success and maybe even decide to take a crack at it themselves.

Home Internet Marketing Business Success Comes from WORK
If you’ve come to this site or internet marketing in general with the idea that you can just slap any old content on the web and have success then you’re in for both a rude awakening and serious disappointment. Getting an education in starting a home internet marketing business means doing a lot of research first (both into understanding what works and THEN finding untapped markets to exploit), then finding hungry markets and delivering products to them. It sounds easy and to a certain extent that much of it is made easy once you’ve done it a couple of times and invested in some tools to do the grinding for you.

What I Knew Before Starting My Internet Home Business This Year
What I knew last year before I started my new internet business this year was that I didn’t know squat about what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to internet marketing. What I did know was that the internet is STILL growing by incredible geometric leaps every year and that if I could get even the tiniest fraction of that business I would be able to build an income that would leave me free to live my life as I chose. So when the apple fell in Times Square ringing in 2009 I resolved that this was going to be the year I started to get my piece of the internet business.

WOW Did I Have a Lot to Learn – What I DID NOT Know About Internet Marketing
I can’t even begin to describe how much I have learned about internet marketing this year. What I can tell you is that despite having had websites since the beginning of the internet… I still had no idea to get traffic to those sites or make money from them. The good news that I did find out is that there is hope for small home internet marketing business people because unlike just about any other business in the world, the internet marketing business operates on a reasonably level playing field… with one truly great arbiter: Google.

Why Google Makes A Great Arbiter for Home Internet Marketers
Google (if you did not know) is a search business. They are in the very business of finding the very best content on the web, and bringing it to the loyal people who use the Google search engine. What we have learned over the years is that while Google’s system can be ‘gamed’ by black-hat (cheaters) tactics for short periods of time, Google’s researchers inevitably catch on to the ‘game’ and change the rules to prevent cheating.

What this means is that if you consistently produce good unique content, Google will find it (sometimes with a little help…) and reward you with visitors to your site. If you are business astute what this means is that if Google likes your site content, they give you essentially FREE advertising in the form of what is called an “organic search listing” for that selected topic. Any businessman knows the value of free advertising… and free advertising on a site that gets two-thirds of the 77 billion search engine visitors per month is extremely valuable.

How Do I Get Google to Like My Site?
Ahhh… there is the million dollar question, no? The answer is simple, and with a little guidance so is executing a strategy to do so. The short answer is find topics that Google users are seeking, and provide it. The long answer is read the short answer and learn how to help Google find your content.

Invest $40 in Your Education Today
Although I have read a number of guides and topics, the most successful internet marketers share their knowledge in a forum within the ultimate internet marketing site called Wealthy Affiliate. It costs $40 a month to be a member… but the member’s forum has the collective knowledge of 14,000 internet marketers, including some of the most brilliant low budget internet marketers on the planet. If you are considering starting a home internet marketing business, invest $40 in your education and spend the next month reading everything you can in the forum of Wealthy Affiliate. You WON’T regret it.
