I want to become an internet marketer but I don't know where I should start?
And things I need to know before joining internet marketing?
Can anyone advise me. Thanks
Cheers mate!!!!
Because I remember how horrible it felt not knowing where to turn or where to go. Wondering what to learn, what's going to really help, whats a scam and whats not, so on and so forth.
you say you want to be an Internet Marketer but you say the term very loosely as if you have no idea what an IM actually is. Are you sure you want to be an internet marketer? If so then you have a lot of info to gather and a long journey ahead of you before making any money.
1. Find profitable niches and really research them. The best way to sell a product is to buy it yourself. You can do videos and really write an honest review and build a site around it much easier if you've actually used the product. Product and market research should be your first steps. Ask yourself the "3 Whats".
-What was trending?
-What is trending?
-What will be trending?
What will be trending is the hardest and obviously what you need to focus on the most. Seeing what is and what was will just give you a general idea of what to look out for. You need to analyze social human behavior and the news and any other real to life happening that could pin point a potential product.
Noobs can find a product by typing in to google "Announced" "To be Launched" and etc... to look for affiliate programs scheduled to release a product. Then buy the EMD before anyone else, load the site with content before the product launch, SEO, and BOOM.
2. Now you've found your product and your ready to start selling. You can either A) Build a site and drive traffic with backlinking and social networking OR B) Ad campaigns
With ad campaigns you are going to need the knowledge necessary and the only way to learn is to start messing around with it. Facebook campaigns is a good way to learn because you can set up the entire campaign, targeting, etc. and get a good idea of what's going on. Play with campaigns and learn the lingo CPC, CPM, Impressions, Targeted Audiences, and so on. Learn how to determine targeting demographics and understanding how to scale your targeted audience to produce better results. When I run FB campaigns, I get 3-4 clicks/likes per $.01. Figure out how to do that and then youre ready to LEARN how to run successful ad campaigns.
You also have to be smart about where you advertise. For instance, you don't want to run in ad banner for your shoe company on Nike's site. You'd be surprised at how many marketers actually attempt to market on there competitors site, although it can work, in most cases it won't be fruitful.
3. LEARN SEO! Period.
4. STUDY, STUDY, READ, READ, READ and when you think you've learned it all and read it all, read it all again and learn some more.
So let's recap:
1. Find a profitable niche and finding a product
2. Building a site or running ad campaigns
3. Learn SEO and apply it (or at least learn how it works so that you can safely outsource)
4. Learn as much as you can about marketing over the web
Sorry I can't give you a step by step process, but as you start learning and start playing with products and techniques you will see how it is impossible for me to give you a step by step process.
I would have to give my niches away, and Im not going to do that. I only came across them because I was doing massive amounts of Keyword analysis' for local clients. They'd pay me $100 for KW analysis and I uncovered profitable niches in the process. That's my secret
So start that way if you'd like. Learn how to do a proper Keyword analysis and pin point profitable KWs with a high keyword efficiency index and post ads on craigslist for cheap to do a keyword and competitive analysis for $25. THat's how I started. Oh, and I also went to thrift stores and resold vintage books, silver, clothes with tags still attached and etc... on eBay. That is what started me on my journey!
Needless to say, it's a long my road my friend and if your not in the position to give up both time and money, my advice would be to learn everything you can and approach it slow.
Good luck!
