Many people think that starting an Internet home business
is hard. In fact, there is no business in the world that is
faster or easier to launch. If you have 15 minutes and a connection
to the Internet, I'll show you how to launch your own Internet
business right away.
Before you launch your first Internet home business, you need
to understand the basics. The first step of having a business
on the Internet is having your own website. This is the major
stumbling block for most people. They think getting a website
is expensive or difficult. It's neither of those things. Actually,
it's free and it's easy. In fact, let's go ahead and get your
first website setup right now.
To do this I recommend using a free tool called Blogger. Blogger
is used for creating blogs on the fly, but a blog is nothing
more than a fancy name for a website. To set up your blog
website now visit: http://www.Blogger.com
Once you arrive, click the "Create Your Blog Now"
button on the page. On the next page enter a user name, password,
display name and email address. Then click "Continue".
On the next page enter a blog title and blog address. These
can be anything you want. Then enter the word verification
code and click "Continue". On the next page choose
a template for your blog (this is what your website will look
like) and click "Continue". Voila... Your blog/website
has been created!
Next, click the "Start Posting" button. A new page
will appear giving you the option to add content to your new
website. Write a title for your page in the "Title"
field and then write whatever you want that page of your website
to be about in the larger data entry field below the "Title"
field on that page. You can use the tools on that page to
change your fonts, make links, format your text, add pictures,
etc. When you're happy with what you've entered into the page,
click the "Publish Post" button. You just created
a new page on your website! On the next page displayed, you'll
see a link that says: "View Blog". Click that link
and you'll see your website live on the Internet. Pretty
easy,
right?! Now you can wash, rinse, repeat and create as many
new pages on your website as you want.
But let's turn your website into a business first. After all,
websites are a lot more fun once they are making money for
you.
Here's how:
Get back into your Blogger account and click the "Template"
tab. Then click the "AdSense" link near the top
of the page. AdSense is a simple but powerful program that
allows you to earn advertising revenue from your website.
Follow the easy instructions on that page to launch your AdSense
account instantly. On the next page click the "Save"
button to save AdSense into your website. Then on the next
page click the "Republish" button. Your website
will instantly be rebuilt now showing a Google AdSense ad
at the top of each page on your website. Every time someone
visits your website and clicks one of those ads, you earn
money from AdSense. You now have a money-making business
setup
on the Internet. How long did that take? 15 minutes!
The only thing you need to do now to start the cash flowing
in is get people to visit your new website. One way to do
this would be to tell your friends and family about your site.
Here are two more easy things you can do to drive an unstoppable
flow of traffic to your new website:
- Traffic Strategy : Tell all the major blog directories
about your new blog/website. To do this, visit http://www.PingoMatic.com
and enter your blog name, blog URL (that's the link to your
website generated by Blogger), check all the boxes on that
page and click the "Send Pings" button. This will
tell all the blog directories about your new blog/website
and you'll start getting some traffic from interested visitors
to those directories. Do this each time you add a new page
to your blog.
- Traffic Strategy : Go back to your blog URL/home
page and click the "Next Blog" button at the top
of the page. This will take you to another blog of another
Blogger user. Read through a post or two on that person's
blog and look for a link that says "Comments"
and click it. On the next page you'll be able to type your
comments and a link back to your blog inside a form. Once
you've added your comments, click the "Login and Publish"
button; and a link to your site along with your comments
will be added to that blog. Repeat this process as many
times as you want with other blog websites. This will "link
you in" to a network of sites all over the Internet
helping you drive a steady stream of traffic to your blog.
Blogger is a great tool to launch your Internet home business,
but it's not the only tool you should be using. To build a
solid Internet home business that you can rely on, you need
to register your own domain name and website hosting account.
A domain name is your unique home on the web that you own
and control. Example: domain names are yahoo.com, ebay.com,
google.com, etc.
You could either register your own name as a domain or a keyword
of something related to the topic of your business. Either
way, if you are going to have a legitimate long-term home
business on the Internet, a domain name and website hosting
account are required. When choosing a domain name and hosting
account, it's important to select a company that has a track
record for success. The company I host all my websites with is at: http://www.PlugInProfitHost.com
This top-rated website hosting company also provides several
turn-key Internet home businesses called "Plug-In Profit
Sites" such as the one described at: http://www.PlugInProfitSite.biz
which is a very popular and easy way to start earning multiple
streams of income on the Internet. In fact, in addition to
the blog you launched a few moments ago, you can get a Plug-In
Profit Site setup in the next 24 hours for less than $80 and
add another 5 fast and easy streams of income to your Internet
home business.
I hope you can now see that starting an Internet home business
is actually a very fast and easy thing to do. Now that you
know this, there should be nothing stopping you from earning
a little extra income on the Internet. Persevere and you can
make it your living just like myself and countless others
have done.
