Internet marketing essentials for your Web site

If you’re new to Internet marketing, you may feel intimidated when creating your first Web site. You want to make it look wonderful, a real work of art. Unfortunately, that Web site may end up costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars because it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do.

Here’s an Internet marketing essential - make your Web site functional.

Many people, especially those who have never done a website before, want to make it very colorful or use a lot of fancy animation and such. After all, the idea is to make it grab the viewer’s attention, right?

Wrong.

While walking past a decorated store window may grab people’s attention, it doesn’t quite work that way online. No one is simply walking past your site -if they’re on your page, they you’ve got their attention. What you want to convey right off is what your site or business is about and what you can offer them, not blind them with bright colors.

Those fancy flash menus, movies, and animation aren’t necessary. The menus can be fine, but you want to minimize the number of animations and large graphics on your main page. These graphics can take extra time to download, and the animations might actually cause your viewer’s computer to act up if they don’t have the right version of Flash or other add-on installed.

The menus, too, can cause some issues with older versions of internet browsers. Look for some internet marketing examples that use menus that require no extra add-ons or use add-ons that are very, very common. You don’t want a potential customer leaving your website in annoyance because your menu didn’t load or work correctly.

Be aware of the amount of content on your pages, too. Users don’t always want to read huge chunks of text on their monitors, especially since it bothers some people’s eyes. Instead, break up your text with lots of white space and bullet points.

Your Web site can be a money spinner for you if you keep it simple.

Make money writing Web sites

If you can use a word processor, you can write Web sites.

Many writers shy away from creating Web sites… they imagine it’s too techy, too complex. It’s not. A small simple site can begin earning money for you very quickly. As a rule of thumb, if you’ve created a site in an area in which there are advertisers you can start earning five to ten dollars a day per site. Now $10 a day isn’t much. But what if you had ten sites all earning $10 day? That’s $100 a day, which is $36,500 a year, just from ten simple sites. What if you had 20 such sites, all earning you $10 a day - or even more - in fact, some sites will earn you $100 a day? “Super-Fast Money-Making Web Sites For Writers: Join The Web-Publishing Bonanza” shows you how.

Make $3,458 a Day from Your Armchair - Become a Pro Affiliate Marketer

Want to make money online while lounging around in your armchair at home? You can - discover how to become a professional affiliate marketer in this article.

My friend James is an affiliate marketer. He regularly makes $2000 a day at this profession. He’s constantly raising the bar however, and tonight he called me to say his total income for the day was $3,458.

If you’re new to affiliate marketing, an affiliate is simply someone who sells a product or a service for a merchant on commission.

Some affiliates make hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Others make millions. Unfortunately the majority of affiliates never make more than a few hundred dollars a year, if that.

The BIG Secret of Pro Affiliate Marketers - They Drop Junk Products

Here’s the secret of the pro affiliate marketers - they test products constantly, because they realize that most of the products they test are junk. This doesn’t mean that others can’t sell these junk products - just that they can’t.

James says that he tests ten products to find one winning product, so he’s testing products constantly. He doesn’t mind the effort however, because he knows that one product out of the ten will keep making money for him for years to come.

He told me: “That’s the only real secret to affiliate marketing - that you need to test which products will work for you. I laugh when someone tells me that they’re selling a new hot product that’s making money for everyone, because until they test, they have no idea whether they can make money with that particular product.”

Make the One-in-Ten Rule Work for You

Many people try affiliate marketing, but give up when they don’t make thousands of dollars in their first month. They figure that affiliate marketing is just a scam.

Once you realize that not every product you sell will be a winner however, a lot of the pressure is off: your only goal is to keep testing products, because you know that if you’ve tested eight products, your winner is just a couple of products away.

So, to make money from your armchair, do what James does - test, and test, until you find your winning products. It’s one in ten: affiliate marketing will work for you if you remember that simple rule.
