The way to success in internet business

In order to grow a huge online home business from scratch, there are some "must have" ingredients that go into the recipe,the most important are:

* Knowledge

* hard work

* Discipline

Growing a business to achieve some of the targets you've set for yourself takes these three things no matter what ANYONE else might say.
One may ask himself:

Do I work as hard for myself and my own business as I do for my employer and their business?

I hope so. Take a moment to consider some of the greatest business owners of our time:


•Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft)
•Warren Buffet (owner of Berkshire Hathaway)
•Larry Ellison (founder of Oracle)
•Richard Branson (founder of the Virgin brands)
•Sergey Brin & Larry Page (co-founders of Google)

This prominent list could go on indefinitely. But the question is, what do these leaders all have in common? They all have:

* Knowledge,hard work and Discipline.,

There's no doubt they have these key ingredients...but they also had something else. They all have huge reasons "why". They all have something that continues to motivate them, something keeps them going. Day in, day out. Week in, week out.

And...

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WEALTH CREATION.

Think about it, all these people could have cashed out and retired a long, long time ago. But they keep going. There has to be something bigger than just dollars and cents to keep you driven and focused. No don't get me wrong...

If you're having trouble putting food on the table, then wealth will absolutely be a motivator to grow your business. But after you've grown it to the point that you don't really have to work again, it takes something deeper and more, well... something more emotional to keep you going and in the game.

I can tell you that, for me personally, it's the family. I won't go into too many details here, but to say the truth, I wasn't born with a "silver spoon" in my mouth.

I don't necessarily want my kids to go to some ivy league school, but I certainly don't want them to wonder if they are going lose their home. And I don't want them to watch their parents work at fast-food restaurants, just to keep the lights on.

So, what does it for you?

Is it the desire to help others with your product and business opportuity? Is it providing your children with a better future? Is it just being able to tell your boss to shove it where the sun don't shine? (don't laugh! this keeps a lot of people going)

Regardless of your big "why", the success of the wealthy (and yours too) boils down to 2 critical things:

1. PERSISTENCE

Nothing stops people with a big reason why. Whether it's personal issues, financial woes, external factors, etc - it just makes no difference. They don't stop. Ever. To continue to persevere and bounce back no matter what.

So let me ask you: Are you persistent? Do you easily give up and throw in the towel after a setback? Or do you pick yourself up and keep moving forward? These are important questions. This is where the rubber meets the road.

2. ASSISTANCE

All the truly successful find some way to help others with their product, opportunities or services. They provide assistance and services that people want and need. They understand "The Law Of Attraction" - the more they give back and help others, they more successful they become.

Look back at that list of notables above: most of those people have vastly expanded their fortunes since they seriously began giving back to society through charitable donations and foundations. I know, it might sound a little hokey but it's absolutely true.

So again, let me ask you: Are you positively impacting the world around you? Do you reach out and go out of your way to be of service to others in their dreams and aspirations?

Let me ask you another question: Would it be easier to do that if you truly believed that people were looking (or even begging) for your product and opportunity? I hope so.

The thing is, there are a lot of good products in the marketplace right now that people really, really want. It actually makes no difference what the product is, the priority is to find a product that benefits you, and then find other people that it can benefit.

That's what all successful people do. That's what you should do. People truly need to have your products, opportunities and services.

The only question is...Are you going to reach out and help them find what you already have?

I hope you've enjoyed this post. I'm going to close with a quick checklist that you should complete, no matter how big or small or new or old your online home business is. Take a few moments, fill in this simple checklist, and then take action.

You may not see the results immediately, but you'll feel the result immediately:

1. Create your reason why: define what keeps you motivated, through good times and bad.

2. Find a product/opportunity/service to market: this can be anything that you personally believe in and have gained benefit from. You may already have a product, that's great. If not, then set a timeline to find one fast.

3. Find prospects: Ask yourself "how many people am I going to help today?" Do this every day, every week, every month. Rome wasn't built in a day, but it was built. The important thing is to take action, and get started.

Today. Not tomorrow. We all have "reasons" and excuses why we can't or why we shouldn't do something. But the reality is: success is possible for everyone. Including YOU.

Get it done. Make it happen.

Positively influence the lives of those around you.

HOW DO I INCREASE MY WEB TRAFFIC AND GET MORE CUSTOMERS USING PPC?

The first thing to do is to design your website in such a way that it will attract internet users. A user-friendly site is always recommended so that the customers will know which one to visit. Take into consideration that if it doesn’t look as a professional one, most likely, users will just ignore it.
Now you have got your site professionaly designed,the next thing to do is making good ad campains so you can start advertise your site and your products, here I will start talking about PPC (pay per click).


PPC is known as a popular advertising technique on the Internet.PPC advertising involves sponsored links that are typically in the form of text ads. These are usually placed close to search results, where you pay a particular fee for visitors who click on these links or banners and land on your web page.

Here are steps to take when starting PPC advertising procedure:

- Choosing (and setting up) an account with a PPC search engine.
- Creating a keyword/keyword phrase list and start bidding on the ad placement including the search result words or phrases.

- Writing out your ad .

- Setting up the 'landing pages' for your ads.

-Placing the advertisement in the search engine.

The benefits of using PPC are numerous,you can be sure to get launched immediately after you have won the bid and paid for it,other thing is about the traffic you obtain with PPC,note that PPC will provide you with people who are actually looking for specific products or services that you are offering and these people are more likely to become your customers and/or subscribers.
There is something more important with PPC,is the ability of tracking your investments,you will be able to know exactly who comes to your site,how long they stay,how many pages they have viewed,this will help you with your statistcs as you will see cleary the percentage of visitors who were converted in customers.The last step while tracking your investments will be to compare the money you've paid with your PPC campaigns and the sales you made.

Finally let me try give out a summerised idea of what one should do, to really benefit from PPC:

-Before you do anything else, take your time and study your product/service, you should know everything about what you are promoting.

- Find the right keywords. Decide which keyword phrases to opt and bid for. Do some keyword research, either by actually looking at existing search terms or with the use of online keyword suggestion tools, to know which terms are mostly used when searching for items that are related to your business. Focus on specific keywords, not on general ones.

-Write effective ads. A good PPC ad is that which can persuade and move a searcher to take an action.

-Learn how to bid,bidding too high can finish all your money in a second,a bid that is too low can make you lose the spot.

-Stick on your bugdet,measure your profit margin against your spending or expenses. Know when to stop.

- Your website's content should be regularly updated and checked for spelling and grammatical errors. There should be no broken links or images. The website should be simple - designed in such a way that it will be easy for visitors to navigate and load. Include contact details to create a good impression among potential customers.

Why using yahoo/overture to get more traffic to your website

Many people out there continue to have problems about the best marketing strategy they can use to get a flow of visitors to their websites.The main thing to know is that only the most visible sites will have the chance to be visited and this could direct potential consumers which may increase sales.

I would like to develop my article's main topic by illustrating one clear example,let's say you run a website that sells shoes,you may choose keywords that will prompt your ads as they will be shown in the web page when a keyword related to your business is searched.For example someone types "NIKE" in the search engine and you have included the same word as one of your keywords,your ad will be shown and probably will appear in the first page if you've optimized your site with the search engine optimization techniques.
Now let's see how yahoo can help you to increase the number of visitors to your website. Yahoo/overture and Google adwords are very similar as they utilize the same principle in terms of keyword or keyword phrase search.
When a search engine user types in a keyword to search for anything,the search engine gives out the result in a page, considering a great number of websites that fight to obtain a place in the very first pages, it's not very easy for anyone to make their site one of the high ranking sites per keyword search.
Yahoo offers a chance for anyone who would like to pay some cash to see their ad viewed,these sponsored ads appear in a tiny column at right side of the page.

Something to know about sponsoring ads,is that the cost of the service may depend on the number of keywords that your ad contains or on how may times your ad is clicked on.You may learn how to compose your keywords in order to make good ads, which will help you saving your hard earned money.

Finally,you should remember that getting a good number of visitors to your site is your goal, with many people being aware of the existence of your products,your visitors are potentially the life blood of your internet based business.
Making good advertising campaigns with selected and well composed keywords will help you achieving your goals by making successful sales and your investments on your ads will result to be a wise one.
