Whether you have a local brick and mortar business or work from
home at an online business, you'll need Internet marketing to
grow your bottom line. There are several key factors in learning
how to make money online, none of which require you to be
technically proficient.
Internet marketing takes time, effort, patience and sound
choices of market, target audience and advertising methods. Some
of your Internet marketing savvy comes from trial and error.
Whether you work from home as owner of a Web-based business or
you manage a large corporation learning the ins and outs of
Internet marketing is crucial to your company's profits.
The first step of Internet marketing is creating your business
Web site. To do this you must first register your domain name.
It's important that your domain name be closely aligned to your
business name and clarify what it is you do - or be intriguing
enough for consumers to want to go there to determine all you
offer. Your Web address should be short, and as much as possible
it should be something that consumers who know your business
name can guess at. Internet marketing is about ease and instant
gratification. Consumers don't want to work hard or spend a lot
of time finding out about you and your firm, or trying to find
it on the Web. Whether you have an online business or a brick
and mortar location, the basic Web site rules are the same.
The best Internet marketing tactic to use, and the first step
in how to make money online, is to own your domain. Don't tag
onto a platform that advertises its name too. http://www.geocities.com / http://mamacooks.com is not nearly as
successful an Internet marketing ploy for Mama Cooks, LLC, as is http://www.mama-cooks.net. However, www.mamacooks.com is so much
better, and so much easier to guess at and find than
www.mama-cooks.net. It's especially bad for a retail site to use
a hyphen, and while .net is not terrible it's the kiss of death
if there is a http://www.mamacooks.com out there already and you
opt for .net as a result. Eight times out of ten consumers will
end up talking to, and doing business with your competitor
without ever getting to your Web site.
In a nutshell, Internet marketing for your online business
starts with an effective Web site, and that Web site starts with
a terrific domain name.
