Successful Internet marketing uses many different aspects of Internet advertising, website construction, as well as what is commonly known as 'social networking'. The successful combination of these three components will maximize your connection with visitors to your website.
1. Great content is a key requirement for successful Internet marketing. If your content isn't well written, with quality relevant information, your site won't hold their attention, and they will leave. Because getting them there is the hardest part, make sure they will want to explore your website, and just as important, that they will want to return to your site, AND recommend your site to friends, family, and their online community friends.
2. The proper usage of search optimization engines (SEO) means effectively choosing key words for the title and description of your website. Clever names in the title of your website will be missed by search engines that only look to match words.
3. Placing keywords in the right strategic locations will help search engines find your site. Keywords should be placed: in the title, in headings and subheadings, and in the first paragraph of content
4. The website layout must be user friendly and effective. Links within your website should be in HTML code. JavaScript and Flash don't consistently work well with search engines, and could cause some of your web site's content to be missed by search engines. Utilizing these features within your site is great, but not as links to content within your site. A site map page with links to all your pages will help visitors navigate easily, and help search engines to find you.
5. Fine tuning your keywords, and bettering your ranking with the search engines is an evolving process. This can be done by trial and error, with specialized software, or it can be outsourced to professional SEO specialists.
6. Submit your site to the various directories that are available. There may be a specialized directory for your industry and there are local directories for most cities.
7. Offer contests, give-a-ways, and drawings as a way to gain potential customer contact information.
8. Utilizing e-mail is an easy way to advertise. E-mail can be utilized repeatedly to remind people about your site. Newsletters on a regular basis are a great excuse to contact potential customers without 'spamming' them (which could hurt your site rather than help)
9. Writing an online column, or offering an article for an online newsletter in exchange for having your business information and links displayed along with the article can increase your visibility.
10. Twitter and Facebook are tools whereby potential customers can get to know you, and then recommend your business to other network friends. Online communities require time to cultivate, as you could damage your reputation if you only participate to advertise rather than socialize.
11. Social bookmarking communities share information about good websites and stories that they think others in their 'community' would like to read. Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon, and LinkedIn are examples of popular bookmarking sites. The more people talk about your site, the more exposure you will have, more opportunities to impress potential customers.
12. Last, but not least, is the 'old fashioned' ways of attracting business. Advertising in papers, magazines, and television hasn't changed much, but make sure that your website information is included, and prominently placed. Printed business cards, stationary, brochures, and company literature still have a place in most industries. Make certain that your company's website, and email contacts are accurately printed on anything you circulate.

Getting started in internet marketing.
Getting started! More like we’re do I start the obvious answer to that is at the beginning, at first it can seem all to overwhelming with the amount of offers and people giving out information about marketing online, so be careful do your research make sure you fell combatable with the system you are going to use, now there are some good systems out there that teach you how to implement techniques that will teach you how to put together web pages and drive traffic to your site but allot of these systems don’t allow for absolute beginners who can just about open an email, there are some really bad systems as well which I myself have found out in the past teaching bad techniques that don’t work no support so you end up spending time and money with no results making you very wary of any other online ventures.
Making it online isn’t a quick process it takes time to learn and implement the techniques but once you do have the basics down this is a very lucrative business, making money becomes a automated stream of money what I mean is to start off with you put allot of effort in learning and implementing but once you are all set up it takes care of itself with a little fine tuning from time to time.
Choosing the right system and mentor is crucial to your success I myself found a good mentor who had an amazing team around him so this giving me the luxury of people who have tried and tested online marketing and know what exactly works and what doesn’t .
The good thing about all this is if you choose the right system and mentor it doesn’t take long to learn I was making money a month after I found the right people to help me this is after the initial set up and learning what I had to do now it is all so second nature and looking back I am glad to say the least that I stuck through the bad times until I found the money pot.
Below are some tips on getting started.
1. do you research find out as much as possible about the mentor and system you are looking at don’t be afraid to contact them by phone if they are any good at what they do they will be able to answer any questions that are bugging you.
2. Once you have found your mentor and system study it and ask questions, this is a business your business I don’t know of anyone who started up a business and didn’t have at least the basic understanding of how it all works, don’t worry if you’re not very good at studying all good systems make it easy to learn usually through easy to watch and learn online videos.
3. Implement, it’s good to learn but at some point you are going to have to have a go, doing this for the first time is the were the time-consuming bit comes in but as you complete each stage you will become an expert at that particular stage.
4.Take your time it’s not a race if it takes 3-6 months even a year before you know what you are doing then so be it don’t put yourself under pressure as you will only end up rushing things or even packing it all in don’t stick with it, it is worth it in the end.
5. Don’t get side tracked it’s easy to get distracted when learning something new as there is so much information to take in stick to the plan that your mentor is showing you and it will all turn out good in the end.
I hope this has been of some help good luck and see you on the other side.
