Getting Started in Internet Marketing
I never actually sat down and thought about internet marketing – I just realised that if I was to make a success of my first business, I needed to first, have a website and second, sell stuff on the internet.
And so
it started. I had my site designed by a friend and put some course dates on there along with a Paypal button and hey presto – I was making money.
Bitten by the bug I decided to sell guitars direct to the public and had them shipped by the manufacturer direct.
I read books on search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click marketing, sales, copywriting and internet marketing. Much like any traditional business, there are basics you need to learn and of course you need some sort of product or service to sell but nowadays, there are so many tools available to help you achieve your goal that you can have a working website up ready to take credit cards within a few hours.
In order to get started you need:
1. A website – you can use WordPress for this or www.weebly.com which will do all the hard work for you.
2. Way to take payment – use Paypal to start with and you can grow to a merchant account later on.
3. Product or service to sell – e-books or even telephone coaching can all be sold on the web. I’ve done it all.
I give you more tips here in other articles and on my internet marketing training site www.internet-rich.com

Internet Marketing is indeed thriving these days.
I are already surfing online far more than 3 hours today, yet I under no circumstances discovered any exciting article like yours. It’s quite worth ample for me. In my viewpoint, if all webmasters and bloggers made great content as you did, the world-wide-web are going to be a lot more practical than ever previous to.
This is among the most astounding blogs Ive read in a very very extended time. The level of information in here is breathtaking, like you practically wrote the book on the topic. Your website is great for any person who would like to fully grasp this subject matter far more. Great stuff; please preserve it up!
I didn’t really realize that a service could be sold online. I thought that you had to have an acutal good to sell and ship.
You make it sound so easy. I will check out the link you posted.
I like the sound of this plan. I started doing some research about SEO and pay-per-click marketing because I need to become more familiar with it.
I never really thought about internet marketing until a friend of mine told me about what she was doing to make money with her website. It is fascinating. Think of all the untapped potential out there on the internet!
Just discovered the blog recently, and am interested to read these posts on internet marketing. It seems Paul had made a success of it. That?s encouraging! I like the different examples too. Something to think about!
