How Can I Start An Online Business?
Starting an online business is not difficult if you know what you are doing. I am here to warn you right now what the gurus and scam artists on the internet are selling you a is not a workable system STOP buying those.
Getting involved with MLM (multi-level-marketing) could lose you tons of money should the company fold up, besides they are structured so only the people at the top make the big money.
Sure you can grab all those free download E-books that try to explain how to work from home online, but trying to figure out what you are doing on your own? I am lucky I still have hair trying to figure those out 🙂 LOL
Real Online Entrepreneurs give you bits and pieces of information, but mostly only share their success stories with you or talk over your head in computer language.
Where can you find the real way to start an online business? I am getting to that and will explain everything below YOU NEED TO KEEP READING!
This is the training I have used to create my own online business that will earn me a passive income from anywhere in the world I choose to work. I work on my own schedule all I need is an internet connection and my laptop, I am good to go.
How can I be so sure? Honestly, I have started to earn commissions with my website that I created from the foundation up from this training. With the help of the wonderful community of experts lending a hand now and then answering my questions when I required assistance.
Where To Start?
Success online at the core is a 4 step process nothing more complex than this and this is exactly what you need to learn. Here is a quick diagram breaking down the process.
Step 1: Choose an Interest. This can be anything at all, any interest, passion or even something you have no personal experience with.
Step 2: Build a Website. Your website is your foundation without this foundation your business will not be successful.
Step 3: Attract Visitors. You are going to need to learn how to get traffic and visitors to your website. The best focus is FREE traffic and there is A LOT of it out there. Over 4 billion users a day on the internet.
Step 4: Earn Revenue. Monetize the website with products/services people are searching for online. There are over 50 ways you can monetize traffic online!
For you to begin you need to find your interest referred to as a niche online. Reviewing products/services is one great way of building out a profitable website.
An example, you are into golfing you could start out with just golf balls and then broaden the website into more things related to golf. Personally, I am not into golf but I am sure there are tons of products to write reviews about.
Building a website – do not freak out here you are not going to need any technical background to build a website you do not need to know anything about coding.
WordPress is the largest website builder used by website owners around the world. Themes are either free to use considered “Child Themes” or you can purchase a theme that has more custom features if you want not necessary.
Attracting visitors to your website the audience that you are targeting will always be searching for particular “keywords“. Another online term that you will be learning about when you take the training that I am recommending to you.
Keyword research is essential to “rank your content” on the major search engines Google, Bing, and Yahoo they hold 99% of the internet market. Ranking is how people find your content using the keywords you have used to write the content.
These terms will all be explained in more detail in the training that you are going to receive for FREE when you take advantage of the Free Starter Membership.
How to earn revenue from a website? There are over 50 ways that one can make a full-time passive income online this takes time and experience to learn.
For example, the one that I use is affiliate marketing. I have no products or services of my own. Promoting products and services for small companies or big corporations you earn commissions when someone clicks the link and buys from you.
Doing an online business this way means you do not have to hold any inventory, worry about after service sales, product warranties, replacements, etc. All of this is handled by the affiliate program of the companies.
Choosing affiliate programs is another thing you will need to learn. Depending on what niche you have selected some affiliate programs are recurring meaning as long as a person remains a member you will earn the commission monthly.
Affiliate Programs all pay with different commission structures. I have looked for those that have the best products/services that I will stand behind creating trust with my audience. But also knowing I am going to make a decent commission.
Always read the complete Terms of Service violating the contract you hold with an affiliate program will cause you to lose commissions that you could be earning for the simplest mistake on your website.
Necessary Tools for an Online Business
We can start with the most obvious ones a computer or laptop and an internet connection. An office space where you are going to be able to work uninterrupted for concentration on training and building your business.
Knowing what your online business is going to be – niche selection. Setting up a business plan would be the next thing that you would want to work on.
That might sound a bit strange but every successful business has a plan. For online you are going to need to be doing all the work yourself until you are prepared to outsource things when you start making money.
I prefer to do all my own work and outsourcing is not something that I am looking forward to, call it a trust issue 🙂
Looking around at other websites of the niche you have selected will help you with how you would like to set up your own website.
Write out all your goals for the online business. Start with your short-term goals and then a list of the long-term goals. Be realistic if you have only 2 hours a day to spend working on your business do not try to push in 6 hours of work.
Starting a dream board is a great way to stay motivated working on your business. This is going to take time and patience prior to the major search engines recognizing you as an authority within your niche.
More competition in the niche you have selected DOES NOT mean that you cannot outrank the others! Providing you find the proper keywords for writing high-quality content will push you above them in time.
Consistently adding content to your website is a must. Wish I had a nickel for every time someone told me or I told others “CONTENT IS KING” 🙂
What’s that you said? You are not a writer? Neither am I, has your mother never told you that practice makes perfect? The more you write the better you get at it. If you can send a text message then you can write.
Keyword Research – Jaaxy Lite is provided during the training for 30 free searches – Premium Members have this free it is included in the membership fee.
There are paid keyword research tools that you can use but I have found that Jaaxy Lite serves my purposes. Why spend more money when starting out that is not necessary. Training will teach you how to use Jaaxy Lite.
Applying for affiliate programs – I have seen other members becoming very confused with this. A very simple procedure all you need to do is Google, Bing, or Yahoo what you are looking for. Golf Balls – Affiliate Programs and you will get a list.
Most affiliate programs will take a day sometimes two prior to getting back to you that you have been approved. They will then supply you with affiliate links to put on your website unique to you so you can collect your commissions.
Read the contract that you are signing with the affiliate program violating the “Terms of Service” means you are going to be losing money. In some cases, you can even lose the whole affiliate program with the company.
Finally, getting FREE traffic to your website. How hard is this? In the beginning, it seems like you are not making any progress you work your fingers to the bones pushing out content.
A few months go by and nothing. Then magically one-day things change you begin to have people that are landing on your website – excitement surges – this will continue to pick up in time. But it does not mean you stop working on your site.
Remember “CONTENT IS KING” keep adding more content to the website. This will drive up your ranking on the major search engines.
Use Social Media for FREE traffic to your website. What? Sure using Social Media can let people know that you have an online business post your content on it doing so can increase traffic and sales. Request that everyone share your content with their friends look at the reach this can give you – FREE ADVERTISING!
Follow the Experts
Mindset is an important part of starting or running an online business. Only 1% of people who start out online ever make it to becoming successful. Why? It takes time and work!
Not willing to dedicate the time to your online business? Then you are going to fail at it. Not willing to take the time to consistently put content on the website? Then you are going to fail at it.
Not willing to be patient waiting for the search engines to recognize you? Then you are going to become discouraged and either quit or just plain give up, which most do thinking they are going to get rich in a couple of months.
When I said to “be realistic” setting your short-term goals and long-term goals you need to know this takes a commitment of no less than a year. That is if you are working on it full-time. Part-time you need to increase that to two years.
The more time you can dedicate to working on your online business the sooner you can see results. Highly competitive niches will always take much longer to see any results. Websites must age prior to ranking just like a bottle of fine wine.
I have recommended you to start your own online business to a completely FREE training platform. Why? Not just because it is FREE but these gentlemen are experts. They have been doing this since 2005 and even earlier in their college days.
