Just a bit about search engine optimization.

How do you honestly make money in online marketing, what do I have to do in order to get the best results?

It’s easy to become dumbfounded in online advertising, especially with everybody telling you that this thing or that thing is the Golden key to riches. But what do you really need in order to started for better results?

Firstly, you need to understand that not everybody is right and when they are all telling you different things, how can they all be right..

Now you need to ask yourself, out of all those amazing idea’s, how many have you tried? Then ask yourself how many of those have actually made you money?

I have asked this question hundreds of times and the answer is always no. But be easy on yourself because there is hope. Let’s just figure out where you are at right now.

If you are a beginner: Have you bought a Domain Name yet? Do you have a website or blog? Do you have an auto responder?

Intermediate: Did you even start to build your email list? Is your auto responder set up to email daily? Do you promote many different products, or the same one to the same list?

For people who have been doing this over 1 year: How responsive is your list? How is your SEO? For every dollar you spend on advertising what do you get back? Are you making enough online to quit your day job?

There are so many other items that I could add to this list, but if your not happy with your answers so far whats the point?

To improve on these things you need to look at how well you are executing the basics Do you think you are allotting enough time everyday to the important parts of your internet business. And how much time do you spend chasing your tail or the latest super hot technique.

Just so you know, most of the “new” programs and services that you read about online everyday, are nothing more than fluffed up stuff of the things that really work.

If you are not happy because your internet business is not where you thought it be by now, then you need to take a step back, decide exactly what you should be working on every day and make sure to get it done.

So how do you know how best to prioritize your time? Keep a ledger of everything that needs to be done and allot a time frame for each step. This is not the coolest thing in the world to do but this is a great way to make sure your doing what you need to do, and this has worked for people for the last 2,000 years.

Sounds simple right, but are you willing to just do it?

You need to set time aside everyday to improve on something that needs improvement, whether it is setting up new email’s to be sent out in your auto responder so you are promoting more than 1 product, or better email’s to get people to take another look at your product again.

Make your website copy more appealing to your visitors, submit some more articles to the article directories, leave links in blogs and forums every day, this builds back links and helps with your search engine rank.

Now all of these basic things will make you money. Now that you are making money simply because you got back to the basics of internet marketing, you can begin adding new ways of advertising and see if they improve your traffic and sales. Ask yourself do these new techniques suit your style, your products, your mind set, then try them.

Create goals in your journal or diary and figure out what will help you achieve these goals, and spend more time working on your internet empire than reading email’s that are making other people money.

Once you begin to start making more money online than you ever have before you will find these steps a pleasure to do everyday, and that will lead you to a new level of business. So be kind to yourself, decide exactly what you want to do, decide when you are going to do it and then do it.
