One of the biggest problems most inexperienced internet marketers will face is “Information Overload”. It starts when the novice entrepreneur subscribes to their first email list from some offer giving them the most guarded marketing secrets that, when implemented, will propel them to the life of the rich and famous. We’ve all done it, if for no other reason than curiosity. Besides we think, “It may just work!”
And then the next thing you know, you sign up for other offers, and they all sound so easy and simple, your inbox is chock, stocked full of the newest, greatest things to happen to marketing and making money. After reading through the emails your head starts swirling with thoughts of making a fortune. Thoughts and ideas turn into more thoughts and ideas. With that comes the questions, “How do I do that?”, that turns into “I can’t do that, I don’t know how”, “It’s to hard”, or, “I can’t afford to do that”. And that leads to the dreaded “Paralysis By Analysis” syndrome. This is a very common situation, and, an easy one to correct by staying focused and taking action.
Answer me this Batman;”How do you eat an elephant?” Give up? Okay here’s the answer; “One bite at a time.” And what does that have to do with making money you ask? Well, as I said, taking action. Take that first bite. What I am going to try to accomplish here within these postings is to give the reader a clear, easy to understand blueprint to make money using the internet. Then it will be up to the reader to contemplate the newly acquired information presented here and apply that knowledge, by taking action, to produce a successful result. One step at a time.
So, the first bite I’m going take by doing some research and find out what people are buying and searching for and assist them with their purchase. First things first though. I’m going to have to find out what people are searching to buy on Google and what keywords or phrases they are using to search with. Keyword research is VERY important.
Google has a free keyword research tool that you can use here. It works fairly well but it takes a long time to do research, very time consuming. If you want to drastically reduce the time it takes you to find profitable keywords and phrases consider getting a copy of James Jones’s Micro Niche Finder. It’s the best keyword and phrase finder on the market, hands down. These keywords you find will become the cornerstone of the marketing/money making system we are going to use. After I settle on some keyword ideas I’ll start on my second bite; finding a product.
So there you have it. One of the first steps towards making money online, finding good keywords to use. Shortly after I find some good keywords I’ll make another post to review the first step and explain how to accomplish step two. Until then be thinking of some keywords and phrases that people use when searching to buy products and services that you could possibly sell.
Till next time,
