So you would like to work from home doing internet marketing? Don’t worry this article will help give your some guidance on where to get started.
What To Do First?
You first need to choose which market and area you would like get into. There are three main areas you could start in as follows:
- Affiliate Marketing
- Product Vendor
- Service Provider
You need to have clear idea of what market you will be serving and make sure that there is demand for the product or service you are planning on promoting.
As examples of different markets here are few:
- B2B (Business To Business)
- Health And Fitness
- Relationships
- Sports
You will need to then further break these down into a suitable targeted niche for example:
B2B (Business To Business)
- – Outsourcing Services
- Data Entry
- Call Centre Work
Health And Fitness
-Weight Loss
- Diet Pills
- Diet Plans
- Exercise Equipment
Relationships
– Dating
- 18 -25 Year Olds
- 35+
Sports
– Golf
- Golf Clubs
- Golf Video Training
- Golf Holidays
As you can see each market will break down into more and more focused and specific niches. The more targeted this is, the better chance of success you will have. Trying to sell something generic is hard and expensive.
Service Provider
As an example of what being a service provider may include here are some examples
Consultancy
- Search Engine Optimization
- Web Design
- Programming
Product Vendor
This will involve creating your own product, the best and easiest way to make a product for sale online without incurring any manufacturing costs is to make an information product. If this solves a problem or teaches the end user how to do something more effectively, this should be of interest.
These can be offered in a variety of different formats:
- Printed Manuals, CD’s And DVD Sets
- Digital Book (eBook)
- Podcast (MP3 Audio)
- Digital Video
- Software
Affiliate Marketing
Creating a product can be hard work, and if not done properly and researched then there is no way to guarantee that it will sell after it is created, but luckily there is an easier way to get started.
