Internet Marketing from Scratch - A 6 Step Starter Guide

I am sure you already know or can imagine that there are many people making money online in so many different ways.

Well, how about I show you one of the ways to make money online that really does work? I mean one that will help you start up as an internet marketer even if you don't know exactly how to!

There really is nothing fancy here, just 6 basic steps to get you started in internet marketing from scratch.

Step 1) To make money online, or offline for that matter, you simply have to sell something, so look for a product to sell. You could create your own product but when you are new to internet marketing why try to reinvent the wheel when there are already lots of products out there waiting to be sold? You will find thousands of these at Clickbank.com or CommissionJunction.com or AssociatePrograms.com for instance.

Step 2) Look for a product close in theme to your chosen affiliate product to give away. Yes to give away. Reason being you are going to be asking for people interested in your products to give you their email address so you can keep in touch with them. This product can be a simple but informative eBook of between 10-15 pages. A quick read in one sitting. You can get such a product by doing a search on Google for rebrandable affiliate products that allow you enter your affiliate links in the eBook so you can receive a commission once someone clicks and buys from the affiliate links in the book.

Step 3) Subscribe to a reliable auto responder service. This service allows you build a list to keep in regular contact with and build a relationship with people interested in your subject or topic. This really is a must have software if you want to make it online, so get one. You would run into all kinds of trouble trying to do this by sending emails and trying to keep in touch from your own email account.

Step 4) Craft a series of follow up email letters. Write from the point of view that you are trying to establish a relationship with someone interested in your subject. You want to be helpful and informative. To do this you must know a lot about the benefits of product or service (free or for sale). It's a better option if you have used it yourself. Be prepared to write about 7-10 letters for starters.

Your first email can simply be a welcome email and explain also what you have in store in the coming emails. Of course do not forget to include your affiliate product links at the bottom of the email. Your auto responder will allow you test how often your affiliate products links are being clicked on.

Step 5) Generate a web form for your squeeze page. A squeeze page is a simple web page that allows those interested in your product to enter their name and address to receive something from you. It is best to collect the names and addresses of people interested in what you have to offer before anything else. Your auto responder generates this web form code and you insert it in your squeeze page to generate your "opt-in box." This is where your prospect enters their name and email address to receive your free give away product.

Step 6) You need to let a lot of people, and I do mean lots of people, know about your web form/opt in box link. This is so that they can sign up by entering their name and address to receive your free give away. These people must be targeted as this is what will grow your list very quickly. To get lots of people to your web form you can use both free and paid ways. Paid (banner ads, pay per click, etc...) and free methods like writing and submitting articles on the subject of your product, search engine optimization, etc... When the visitors read your advert and enter their information they will become subscribed to your list.

Be aware that the above method I have laid out is not going to happen overnight. It is a process that works if you work it. Choose your free give away product carefully. Make sure it offers useful and actionable information.

The more people that sign up to your list, the more people you can contact with your follow up emails and the more of your affiliate products you will be able to introduce to make a commission from. That is a simple six step guide to starting internet marketing from scratch and making money online.

Are you really serious about building your very own responsive opt in email list?

Learn How to Make Money Online for Free

There is plenty of free home business information on the internet that will teach you how to make money online so you don't have to go around buying up every product you find that promises to give you the secret to making money online. In fact, you don't need to buy any of them! You can find all the information you need for free from blogs and forums.

There are plenty of great blogs that freely give out tons of great information on ways to make money online and many of them even tell you specifically how to do it. I'm not talking about those so-called A-list blogs like JohnChow.com or Entrepreneurs-Journey.com or most of the other blogs in the make money online blogosphere. To be honest, most of those are full of a bunch of shit that will not help you learn how to make money online.

I have been blogging and reading blogs and for a very long time. Yes, I owned a blog even before there was a such thing as "professional bloggers" and most people didn't even know what a blog was. I've also been an internet marketer for many years and I was making money online way before it was the cool thing to do. Basically what I am trying to say is that I know what the hell I am talking about when it comes to make money online blogs.

With that being said, I want to show you a few blogs that are actually worth reading and will help you learn how to make money online and they will give you all the information for free!

* Griz @ http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com - He doesn't post very often but when he does he gives more information that you can actually use to make money online than any other MMO blog I have ever seen.

* Trent @ http://www.work-at-home-jobs-iowa.com/home-business-blog.html - This free home business tips blog has been going strong since the middle of 2004 and has hundreds of very informative posts.

* Vic @ http://bloggerunleashed.com - Not for the faint of heart because he doesn't hold anything back but you will definitely learn how to make money online from this blog. Check the archives for the best posts because he has slowed down a lot lately.

* Jason @ http://theuniversitykid.com - Another blogger that truly wants to help others make money online by giving out free information that you can actually use.

And remember that blogs are not the only places where you can learn how to make money online for free. Forums were around long before the blogging era and they are still some of the best places to get free money making information. In some ways they are even better because you can ask questions and get them answered by numerous experts as opposed to just listening to whatever one blogger has to say.

Here are some of my favorite internet marketing / work at home / make money online / home business forums:
