If you’re a total newbie and considering to start your Internet Marketing journey, this article is for you. This article is the first part of our “Quick Start Guide” series. It assumes that you know nothing about Internet Marketing, blogging, article marketing, etc..
Most newbies also has no idea about the following activities/concepts which are essential to any Internet Marketing site.
- Market Research
- Keyword Research
- Site Building
- Traffic Generation
- Monetization
If all these concepts sound alien to you, don’t worry as this article will provide you an easy way to learn all of them step by step. I will outline all the steps you need to start your first Internet Marketing journey even though you don’t have a website and have never built one before. All the activities or steps described here don’t require you to spend any money. You do need to spend your time and effort though.
Here are the steps…
1. Pick a topic that you’ve interest in it.
2. Create a Blogger blog.
3. Write and publish 2 articles per day for the next 3 days.
4. On 4th day, write 2 articles, submit one to EzineArticles.com and one to your blog.
5. Add your monetization module.
6. Continue to write and post articles regularly. Be consistent!
Now here are the details…
1. Pick a topic that you’ve interest in it.
How do you pick a topic you like? It’s easy! Just go to EzineArticles.com and you will see a list of article categories on the front page. Select a category you’re interested in and click to expand and see the topics. There are tons of topics there and I’m sure you can find one you like. By the way, while you’re in EzineArticles.com, create an account (it’s free). You’ll need to use it later on. NOTE: Go to Gmail.com or Yahoo.com to create an email account first before you create your account in EzineArticles.
2. Create a Blogger blog.
Go to blogger.com and create a blog. Creating and publishing Blogger blog is very easy. If you know how to create free email account at Gmail or Yahoo and know how to use microsoft Word, you know how to create and publish Blogger blog. If you’ve never blogged before, you can take a quick tour or tutorial in blogger.com.
3. Write and publish 2 articles per day for the next 3 days.
By now you should have selected a topic that you know about. Now you need to write a 400-500 words article about your topic and publish it in your blog. You need to write two articles per day for the next three days. I assume that you’re quite familiar with the topic you selected so writing two 400 words articles per day should be no problem. NOTE: at this point, don’t worry about keyword research. When posting articles to your blog, just choose the title that is sensible and appealing. I will discuss about keyword research and SEO in the next post. The idea here is to help you start your Internet Marketing journey and get your blog indexed by the search engines as soon as possible. However, if you want to familiarize yourself in keyword research, you can read it here: “keyword research“.
4. On 4th day, write 2 articles, submit one to EzineArticles.com and one to your blog.
After 3 days, you should now have at least six 400 words articles in your blog. On the 4th day, continue to write two articles but now submit one to Ezinearticles.com and one to your blog. IMPORTANT NOTE: when you’re submitting article to Ezinearticles, there is an “author’s bio resource box”. This is the most important part in article marketing* because this is the place where you direct the readers to your blog (driving traffic to your site). Here is a line you can use in your resource box…
“[INSERT YOUR NAME HERE] is the creator of [INSERT YOUR BLOG NAME HERE]. If you liked the tips in this article, why not get more tips about this subject at [INSERT YOUR BLOG URL HERE].”
5. Continue to write and post articles regularly. Be consistent!
From 5th day onward… continue to submit articles to your blog and Ezinearticles. Perhaps 2-3 articles (1 for your blog and 1 for Ezinearticles) per week now. Consistency is key here! If you can do this for the next 30 days consistently, you will see traffic start flocking to your blog.
6. Add your monetization module.
Once you have got the traffic, the next thing is to monetize the traffic and put some cash in your pocket. I will show you how to do that in part 2 of our “Quick Start Guide” series. So, please stay tuned! NOTE: you need to go to www.google.com/adsense to sign up for an Adsense account as you’ll need it in part 2.
