Self Employment Ideas - #1

"Starting Your Own Home Based Business"

Are home based businesses and internet marketing legit? Can it be a viable self employment idea? If you are new to the concept of internet marketing; hold on to your seat because you are about to get a crash course.

Internet marketing is simply providing a service over the internet to targeted surfers who are actively searching for a particular type of information. Notice I said information and not a product.

The common mistake people make online is setting up an internet business with the intention to sell to everyone who has an internet connection across the planet. This is why they usually fail before they even get started.

Information is the major use of the internet. Hardly anyone ever comes online with their credit card in hand, ready to buy something. They want to get information about a problem they have; which they wish to solve. You may have a product that can solve this problem.

By giving this surfer excellent, expert content on the problem they wish to solve - you have satisfied their need for information. After they like what they see maybe they will be opened to the idea of trying your product. This is when you make the sale.

Content is the drum that the internet surfer will hear and not a sales pitch. It is valuable information that satisfies their needs. Content also has another purpose and that is getting traffic to your website from the search engines.

When you have a nice small niche site (a site geared to a small targeted group of people) you will attract the search engines like Google, Yahoo and Msn Live. These search engines will realize that your site caters to a small group of targeted individuals in a particular market and you will begin to show up in the organic search results.

The organic search results are the results you get when you type in a word a.k.a. “keyword” into the search engine search box. The listings that show up are related to the search term that you typed in. This is where you will want your website to be.

The only way you will show up in these free search engine listings is if you have lots of good optimized content. When you have written some high quality pages for your site then you will start to get some traffic. The bulk of your traffic will come from these same organic search engine result pages we just discussed.

Because you have written so much excellent content, your website visitors become pre-sold to your product offers. They just simply can’t get enough of your down to earth, practical and helpful content so they take your sincere advice and try the product that you offered or recommended to them.

They love your honesty and become a repeat customer but they also tell their friends about your website as well. Now their friends are pre-sold too.

Only after you have delivered excellent CONTENT will you get TRAFFIC to your website which will PRE-SELL your offers through high quality information to your visitors. After you get the C-T-P correct, only then will you (M), MONETIZE.
