5 Myths About Starting An Online Business

There are many myths about running an online business, and if you come into the online business world expecting these myths to be true; the failure of the business is inevitable. Money myths can be a one-way ticket to internet failure.

• There is no such thing as a get rich quick scheme. There are millionaires who get rich quick, but it’s usually a combination of hard-work, creativity, and luck. However, there isn’t one formula on how a person can get rich; in fact many people find their own path to riches simply by hours of research and hard-work.
• I can just set up an automated business and go on with my life. Eventually it will get to this point, but in the beginning of your entrepreneur career, this is almost impossible. Many internet Gurus simply do not tell us about the hard-work it took to get to the point where their business was automated. It can be done, but it can take months and even years of our dedicated hard work.
• It doesn’t cost any money to make millions online. There are ways to make free money on the internet. These are called “bum marketing techniques” and require a vast amount of research and a great deal of hard-work. Even if we do start up a business for little or no money investment, we will eventually have to put in some type of investment to increase the profit potential of our business.
• “If you build it, they will come”, the true internet marketing saying is “If you build it, they probably won’t even know you exist”. If we build a website, it is very important to dedicate a great amount of our time to Search Engine Optimization. SEO is the internet marketing technique of utilizing the power of search engines to increase traffic to a website. When a potential visitor types in a keyword phrase for the search engine, it is highly important that our page show up on the first result page. This can be done by writing keyword rich articles and updating our site with rich genuine content.
• It is wise to set up multiple sites instead of just focusing on one. Many people believe if they set up 50 sites that bring in one dollar a day, then they’ll make 50 dollars a day. However, if a person puts all that time in effort into one site, they’ll make an even greater amount of money.

Don’t let all this discourage you, patience is a virtue in any business and this is no different.  Chin up, move forward and be persistent and consistent!

1. Post Regularly. This is an underrated factor in determining how much traffic you receive to your website.  Serious internet marketers post every day, sometimes a few times per day. Now I realize this just isn’t possible for some, maybe most people, but the point is to post as much as possible.  Having said that, it is crucial that you are posting fresh content!  Write useful and interesting posts, you need to keep people coming back for more.  By posting regularly, you not only gain a following, but you will rank higher on search engines, and therefore, generate more traffic to your site.  Basic rule:  the more you blog, the more visible you become.

2. Link Exchange. Another great idea is to invite people who already have a high page ranking, and of course have a blog or website relevant to yours, to exchange links with you.  This will absolutely increase your ranking when indexed by the search engines.  A simple, yet powerful tactic.

3. Monetize. Why not give yourself every opportunity to earn some money?  It’s free to join affiliate programs, and takes little effort to put your unique links on your site, so do it!  Now, I have written about having too much info, and literally confusing your visitors until they just leave your site, so make it subtle, keep the flashing banners to a minimum.  If you’d like to read more about having a lean and mean website, click here.

4. Keywords. Ensure that all of your posts are rich with keywords, know what your keywords are and use them in your post.  It is the keywords that are indexed by the search engines, so don’t just write an article, write an article that has lots of keywords in it.  If you are writing about one particular topic, that should not be difficult.

5. Ping! Ping your blog at http://pingomatic.com/ whenever you add new content.  All you need is your blog URL and the title of your blog.  This ensures that your new content is indexed by the search engines.  Again, simple but powerful.

These are a few simple strategies to maximize your blog, drive more traffic to your site, and generate more sales.

Your Guide To Website Traffic

If you have a website, then you need traffic.  This is not news.  Think of your website as a store – you either have people coming and going constantly, or you have next to nobody setting foot inside.  However, you do not benefit from people shopping for jewelry, if you only sell health products.  This is the very reason you need targeted traffic to visit your site. It’s not enough to have a fancy website if nobody knows about it.  Imagine someone is searching for a specific item – whatever it is, maybe a specialized fishing lure, how to speak Portuguese, or chrome rims for a minivan, it doesn’t matter!  If you have it, what matters is will they find you.  This could be your million dollar question……

Here are the keys to getting your site not only noticed, but highly ranked, so that you are displayed among the top when using search engines:

1. Search Engine Optimization.  You have heard the letters SEO thrown around a lot I’m sure, but being able to use it is quite another thing.  If you understand that everyone uses search engines when looking for something, then this should be your jumping off point.  To get recognized in search engines you need optimization.  I will follow up soon with details, but for now I’m going over the keys to really creating traffic to your site.

2. RSS Feeds. If you’re using blogs, then RSS feeds are a valuable resource in getting traffic.  Input some RSS feeds into your blog, and watch the people come.

3. Viral Marketing. This could be categorized as the equivalent of word-of-mouth advertising.  Offer something free to your visitors, studies show that consumers will come running if it’s free, but that’s hardly news is it?  Moreover, it’s likely they wil tell others to go check it out, and so on…..

4. Article Marketing. This is a very effective means of driving targeted traffic to your site.  It may require a little more work, but there are many free resources that allow you to submit short articles about your product focusing on your niche market.  Remember to include a link to your site or you will have written some adcopy…and that’s it.  Also, advertisers are always looking for fresh content, so they may want to use your articles in their publications.  What kind of boost would that be?  Exactly.

There are other methods you can use to promote your business, I have listed these as some of the most successful.  Again, I will be delving deeper into each one of these in the near future, to equip you with proven and successful strategies.  It’s important to remember to keep your content fresh and original, this will bolster your online reputation, and in turn, your ranking and success.
