You can do it...
So you want to make money online but you are just a beginner in internet marketing. You should be very skeptical about striking it rich with little or no effort as this rarely happens in life. However, it is more than plausible that you can begin making money online as quickly as a day or two if you understand the process and keep in mind that things vary by industry or niche.
The most important thing you need to understand is that making money online starts with educating people first and positioning products or services later. Much of the secret decoder ring to making money online comes down to a very simple formula and that is good relevant content plus social media contacts and strategic syndication can and will result in sales. There are some other secrets but having kick butt content is what it’s mainly about.
If you focus on what people want to learn about, then you’ll be able to separate yourself from all the other noise out on the internet. Most amateurs tend to come into a market and shout out their product or service. Please don’t market that way as you risk making yourself look like a complete idiot! Direct selling on the front end in internet marketing tends to backfire; as most people on the internet are simply searching for answers to their problems not someone to sell them. If you take a softer indirect approach (much like a teacher), you will actually have better results.
People tend to get overwhelmed with all the tools and procedures for generating traffic; but in truth you should really just focus on creating great content. All of the SEO or “search engine optimization” tactics and or submission tools are advanced methods which incrementally increase your rankings. Even the so called SEO wizards will tell you that being a good copywriter is an enviable skill in internet marketing. If you create content using a balance of what’s known as the three “E’s”, which are (education, enlightenment and entertainment), then you will go a long way in creating a following for your website.
To build a following with your content on social media you should make friends with like minded people in your market. This alignment with other authorities in your space is something of a modern day good ole boy network but much more credible, transparent and powerful. Not too different than building alliances in the offline world the same principles apply here. You get involved in social media and look for like minded people to reach out to. In the case of social media, you might rate other peoples videos or articles, make comments and become an active participant in the community.
By becoming a part of the community and helping other leaders with rankings, views and positive comments or even better a re-syndication of their content to your own network, this can make you friends fast. Do this the wrong way and it can backfire. We call this the “law of attraction”, simply do the right things by others and in time (their time not yours) a natural reciprocation will occur. This method works in all social media and also on forums, this process of making friends and sharing helpful information is how you build a following. The bigger your following becomes then the larger syndication you have for your content.
By building value you can become a trusted likable source and in time a certain percentage of people will elect to do business with you. Essentially selling on the internet is all about giving people options and allowing them to be in control of the process. This is very powerful because people make their own decisions on their terms not yours, but when they decide they essentially sell themselves. Now that’s my kind of selling!
Become a trusted solutions provider first and create value; if you do that you’ll have more fun and great success!
