The Very Basics of Internet Marketing

It's true...the very basics of internet marketing are the hardest and most essential parts to understand.

If you don't know them yet, I will give you my understanding of them.
1. Choosing a good "niche" (specific product) for you. <---by far the hardest for me! So indecisive --;;

2. Keyword research.....research the crap out of those keywords and find the MOST relevant ones.

3. SEO (search engine optimization) skills - if you don't have those, then no one will see your pages. You have to know how to get to that glorified first page of the search results. This goes back to number 1 and number 2.

The gurus always mention these things, but someone very new to internet marketing won't necessarily understand the importance of these concepts. Heck, even I'm not sure I understand and my niche is having a hard time finding me. But without a niche you will waste countless hours promoting different things or writing articles without the proper joie de vivre.

Good luck to other newbies in finding a niche. Going with new products is also always good, but choose only one product to promote when you first start. This is probably the best advice I've heard.

Well, hope you liked my post. Adieu for now!
