Internet Marketing for Beginners – What you need to know

Every business you can think of has an internet presence today, and if you want to become an internet marketer you can either work for a company or market your own products or services. The great thing about this is you can work from home without requiring office overhead expenses, you just need to have the skills. If you have been reading e-books or attending seminars about marketing online, you are a step ahead! And knowing your product is vital - you will need to understand how to place ads online thru various data bases, directories, other websites and how to maximize search engines to your advantage.

We have all searched online for various products at one time or another, if you have a product that is unique or doesn't overlap with another product, you could potentially make a significant profit but how? You'll have to do your research on whether the product you are offering is wanted, if you can find a need that isn't being met, you are on your way, and if what you are offering doesn't give much information online, then you can create what is called ‘niche marketing' - offering something unique that has not yet been thought of.

It could be the simplest idea, even the most innovative companies seem to come up with the easiest ideas that we take for granted, because they think outside the box and do their research.

You will need to build a website that is easy to use and navigate around, include information that will encourage your customers to purchase your product - photos, information on your product, ordering information, pricing - all the basics and join different groups related to your product or idea, begin paying for advertising on related pages and sites, and start attracting other like-minded people to connect with you - Twitter, Facebook, Plaxo, via a blog you keep, there's no end to how you can connect online today.

With hard work, diligence, a unique product, time and energy, you can create a new home-based business, start making that profit, and as the internet moves forward, so will you!

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
Internet Marketing Conference on SLife - I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways.. a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak. Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc.. Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL. There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach - Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great. Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way, best wishes, Mal.
Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? - Hi Kevin, I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.
Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Everyone, 2009 is a new year and I'd like to create a new forum category to jazz things up! In the past, there's been some interest voiced about adding a "Social Media Marketing", "Online Marketing", "Internet Marketing" or "Online Promotion" category. I'll implement [u:1g2tv6tf]ONE[/u:1g2tv6tf] of those new categories, but can someone first tell me what the difference would be between the existing "Marketing" section and one of those new options mentioned above? Thanks
