If you are looking for an easy way to start an internet business, I would like to share with you the 7 easy steps I follow on a daily basis. Obviously you need to have a specific plan of action like any other business. This is where most newbies get it wrong. You hear a lot about people making it big in internet marketing and it all sounds so nice and easy, but infect it does take time and dedication. The good news is, that it's relatively easy to start an internet business with little or no money at all.The 7 easy steps I follow every day, I have found very effective and are making me sales every day. Just follow these steps and you will be amazed by the results. These methods are all free methods and are quite easy to follow if you are willing to try it out.
Here are my 7 steps to start an Internet Business
Step One
Register at clickbank.com as an affiliate to start promoting thousands of products of your choice. Clickbank will be a good starting point for new affiliates. They pay every 14 days and are highly recommended by most super affiliates.
Step Two
Get your affiliate link for that clickbank product or if you don't like the long affiliate link you can register your own domain name for the product at GoDaddy.com which will cost you $10 a year.
Step Three
Choose 5 to 10 long tail keywords with a monthly search volume of less than 10 000 searches. These keywords will be the ones you will use to build your squidoo lenses to promote the product to people that search under those keywords for your product. For this you can use the Google Keyword Tool or you can use SEO Book to do your keyword research. These tools are all free and work very well.
Step Four
Build a squidoo lens at Squidoo.com around those lontail keywords. For every keyword phrase build a squioo lens. This will tell the reader about the product with your affiliate links in. When readers click on the links it will take them to the sales page of the product. This is all you want them to do. From there the sales page should do the rest if it is a good sales page and a good product.
Step Five
Make sure if your squidoo lens gets ranked by google for those keywords you have chosen. Also make sure that you get ranked on the first page, otherwise nobody will click on it and no one will read your squidoo lens.
Step Six
When you get ranked by google on the first page, write an article for each squidoo lens and submit it to Ezine Articles. Remember to use the same keyword phrase in your article heading and in the beginning of your article. (The long tail keywords you chose at the beginning when you did your keyword research)
Step Seven
Monitor how many visits your squidoo lenses and articles are getting. If you have got visitors to your lenses and readers are clicking your Url links in your articles you can expect sales. Go to your clickbank account and see if you have made any sales.
Unfortunately I cannot explain every step in detail here, because then this article will have to be 50 pages long. If you are looking for more details of how this works step-by-step, you can download the first 18 pages for free.
