Id like to share with you this valuble article of mygood friend Tom. Enjoy.
With the economy in the tank for the past couple years many are looking for ways to establish some sort of financial independence and they are turning to the internet. This article is directed to the reader who has no knowledge of internet marketing but may be interested in getting into it.
I've heard many people comment they have heard about many people, even acquaintences making money on the interent.
Well, this may be true but in my own experience I have found it to be rather difficult to make any money putting up websites, etc.
Using a little insight, I have determined early in my efforts I barged ahead with setting up websites, taking on affiliate programs and waiting for the money to start rolling in. Well, it didn't happen, and here's the reason why.
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION.
I found that there is a lot more to the internet than I ever relized.
In addition, I spent too much time bouncing from one product being offered by an internet marketer after the other that was suppose to lead to my success.
To keep from folliowing my path to nowhere I suggest the followng:
1. Understand the importance of a Domain Name
2. Spend time learning about Keyword Research
3. LSI is becoming important so be sure you understand what it is and how it is used.
4. Understand what backlinks are and how to obtain.
5. Learn how to correctly build a website
6. You don't need to know HTML but you should have a decent understanding of it's use.
7. Get familiar with Wordpress and Blogger.
8. Become familiar with Niches and how they come into play
9.Get familiar with Article and Social Marketing.
10. Search out the various available affiliate programs.
11. Find out who Clickbank, Commission Junction and other affiliate providers are and how they operate.
12. Determine if you want to sell a physical or digital product.
13. Understand what an ebook is.
14. Search out who the dropship companies are if you decide to offer a physical product.
15.How do Amazon, Ebay, Kontera,google and others come ito play in you effort to make money on the internet.
16. Determine if Twitter, MySpace, HubPages, FaceBook and other social sites can contribute to your plan.
17. SEO Search Engine Optimization
18. Email Marketing
19. Importance of a mailing list
20. Opt In - How to build a list
21.Resell Rights, Private Lable Rights (PLR), Master Resell Rights (MRR). What are they and what do they mean.
22.Where to get Resell Rights Products.
I'm sure I have left something out but I believe most of the above is information one should know or be familiar before making an effort to make money on the internet.t
I would suggest you find a good quality course on internet marketing that covers the basics to the advanced so you get a good all encompassing education. I may cost some money but it will be more beneficial than trial an error.
At the same time you may want to join a forum like www.warriorforum.com which is really good source of internet marketing. However, don't spend too much time here otherwise you won't get anything done.
No doubt, I believe the most important aspect to remember other than beoming familiar with the above is:
TO MAKE MONEY ON THE INTERNET you have to dicipline yourself to focus on a chosed project and not get distracted or pulled in another direction. Once you have decided on a project, stick with it until completed.
Remember, knowledge is the key to success in MAKING MONEY ON THE INTERNET.

Money Blogs New Internet Marketing Tool
by John DeLellis
Blogging is a concept that started in late 90s. It used to be a way to comment an existing webpage, an opportunity for visitors and readers to react or voice out ones opinion on the said page. What started as a single-sentence commentary has evolved into pages of personal take on just about anything and everything under the sun. As it continues to move forward, online advertising has tapped into the blogs potential. Here are 5 reasons why you should use blogging as an Internet marketing tool.
1.Blogging is simple. The simplest way to get your piece on the net is through blogging. No skills are necessary an average adult can read and type, or at least click a mouse. Its like having a virtual piece of paper and you just write your ideas, experiences, new products, and hope that the truth behind your articles comes out and entice your reader to also try your product. If you have a PC and an Internet connection (who doesnt?) then you can blog and advertise.
Blogging is authentic. In this day and age where advertising saturate our lives, we question the credibility of promoters claims. However, in blogs, real people share their real-life experiences, unscathed by paid advertising. Reading blogs about first-hand product use is like talking to people about their first-hand experience. You definitely want to buy a tried and tested product.
Any opportunity for free webtime is definitely a bonus especially to businesses that are starting up. Blogging is free. Because blogging is yet to be proven as a mainstream online advertising media, most sites see it as something to augment current marketing tools and thus offer it for free. Needless to say, paid blog pages can generate more income for your seriously growing business.
Blogging builds credibility. As you get more and more into writing your experiences on a particular product or industry, your readers come to realize that they can depend on your posts for their own information needs. As such, you become an expert on it; as a consequence, more readers visit your site and more bloggers link to your blogs. As companies and professional organizations notice the growth of your readership base, they may soon get in touch with you for advertising on your blog page, or make you an affiliate, which pays for every referral generated from your blog site
Blogging builds your market. Unless you are a Hollywood star, chances are, only your Mom reads your posts. Mom has a lot of friends, so she lets her friends know how interesting your blog site is. But you need not depend on Mom to increase your readership base. Look into the following ways to build your market through blogging.
Let them explore your site by using a short e-mail message as teaser to your blog site. If your e-mail is on an entirely different subject, use your e-mail signature to give a link to the site. By using your e-mail. Today, blogging is overcoming the e-mails popularity in quickly and effectively reaching and expanding a market. In this age of speed and quick access, logging in and downloading e-mail is simply taking longer than clicking into a blog site.
Just be responsible in using their e-mail address, as the last thing you want is a comment on your blog that you are a spammer. By using subscription. An easy way to get your readers e-mail is to give them an opportunity to subscribe to your blog site. Keep some exclusive information for your subscribers to entice readers to subscribe and give their e-mail address.
In this way, it is like interviewing your readers without the commitment and intrusion of a face-to-face interview. By understanding your readers. Conduct a simple survey for your readers to understand their profile and advertising preferences. Ask consumers to give you feedback on a post, an ad link, or a trial that you shared.
Consumers find credibility and convenience in clicking one link to several real bloggers about a single subject. Clearly, more bloggers are better than one. By joining a blog network "A network of blogs maybe a collection of blog sites that share the same industry, interest, readership base, payment mode, etc.
As such, having RSS feeds to your blog is definitely another means of generating awareness for your readership base. Having a variety of feeds can add interest to your blog site. By using RSS. RSS is the fastest growing technology on the Internet today.
Give your business a boost by effectively using blogging as an Internet marketing tool.
