Starting a Online Business - Tried and Tested Method For Beginners.
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Starting a online business is not as difficult as you my think. With some basic computers skills. Most people can start a business on the web. Contained in this document is a closer look at one of the available options and the steps to take when starting a online business.
There are many ways to earn money on the internet. The most popular is by selling some product or other. The product can be your own or someone else' which you sell for a commission.
Chances are, that if you are in the beginning stages of starting a online business, you most likely do not have a product of your own. So what we are going to do, is show you how to sell other peoples products.
The first thing you will want to do is find a product to sell. For this I would recommend that you open an account with Click Bank. This is a good place to start and the service is free. Once your account has been confirmed. Do a bit of reading to get the basics.
You will also need to open an account with Google Adwords. This account you will use to advertise the product and also to do keyword research. More on this later. You will need a credit card to open the account and there may be a nominal setup fee. You cannot really go any further without an Adwords account, so don't let the cost throw you.
When your Adwords account is set up. Do a bit of reading to get the feel of how the system works. But here are the basics. The Adwords system is keyword driver. You bid for the keywords you want to use for your ad. In other words. Let say someone does a search for widgets. If you have placed your ad and used widgets as one of your keywords. The chances are pretty good that you ad will be seen. However the popularity of the keyword will determine the bid amount to get the ad on page one of Google.
Now let's find a product to sell. I recommend that for starters you find a product on a subject you know something about. Go to the market place in you ClickBank account and do a search on the subject of your choice. Have a look at the commissions paid as well as the conversion factors. I would not go for anything that pays less the $20. Make a list of about 5 to 10 possibilities.
At this point, we need to know if the chosen products can make some money. To do this, you enter the exact product name in the keyword tool in Google Adwords. And let the program suggest keywords.
The number of searches for your product is important. As a rule of thumb. If there are less than 3000 searches per month. It may not be very profitable to market that product. Next thing to look at is the competition and what the suggested minimum bid is. Remember, the more the competition, the higher the needed bid will be.
But keep in mind that someone entering the search phrase "how to knit gloves" wants to know how to knit gloves. It is then reasonable to assume that out of every 100 clicks on your ad at least one sale should be made. And working on a 100% profit. It means that if the minimum bit is suggested at .10c you will break even on that one sale. Any additional sales are all clear profit.
What I have explained above does not sound as if you will make a lot of money. But do the above with 20 or 30 different products at $300 plus profit per product per month. Not too bad as a pastime.
Now to the next step. On the same basis as above. Select a few keywords that closely match your product and add them to your list. A point to remember. You do not have to have 1000's of keywords to make the system to work. 5 or 6 well chosen keywords with low bids, is all you need.
Once this is all done. You can now write the ad. If your product is "How to cook Beef". That would be the title of the ad. For the body of the ad. You could have a look at some of the ads that come up with your search term. Select the best one, but change it a bit to make it yours.
Job done. Run the ad. A word of warning though. In the world of Google Adwords. If you do not carefully monitor your expenses against profits. It could become a very expensive exercise. What you also need to know is which of your keywords are making you money and which are not. If this is done properly. Then starting a internet business could be a very pleasant experience.
