6 Quick Start-up Strategies For An Internet Marketing Newbie

Starting an internet business can be an overwhelming task. There are several steps that you need to focus on in the beginning so that you can ensure your success. If you just rush into this business, you will wind up spending hundreds of dollars on products and courses before you even know what you bought or why. Before you take action on the strategies below, you must have your domain, hosting, opt-in page set up and your auto responder in place. Search for other articles on those topics before you begin.

#1 You must learn to FOCUS. The secret is knowing what things and activities to focus on so you can save yourself from months of headaches and lots of money spent. If you focus on one area and one area only, you can launch a successful business

#2 Ask yourself how much money you have to spend. Some newbies have lots of money and start buying products and services right away. Others have very little or no money and need to watch what they are doing very closely.

#3 List building is one of the most important areas for you to focus your attention on. Without a list, you dont have a business. You are just playing with a hobby.

#4 Traffic: how do we send traffic to our websites? One of the best ways for anyone new to the internet is to write articles. You will be reading tons of information so why not share it with others? Articles are a lead generation tool but they also help to brand you. Find out what the hot topics are then get as many articles written as you can, at least 3 per week. Better would be 5 per week at first. Get them submitted to EzineArticles.com and once accepted, send them to as many other article directories as you can.

#5 Testing and tracking: once you have begun to send traffic to your site, you need to test and track how your visitors are responding to your articles and your website design. This can easily be done through Google Website Optimizer.

#6 You should check your stats daily to see how many people opted into your list. Once you do that, you can begin to split test your opt-in page with Google Website Optimizer. You can test just about anything using that tool.

If you stay focused on the 6 strategies, you should be on your way to success. Once you write your daily article, then you can go check emails, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Remember an article can drive traffic to your site forever. Concentrate on one thing to make you money daily and that is article writing.
