By Marcus Ryan


Internet marketing is very popular these days, everyone wants to have the freedom of working from home and making their own schedule. The problem is some people don't have a clue on where to get started with internet marketing or how to even use it to promote a business online. Now internet marketing is basically the concept of promoting a product, service or company online. You have the option of selling your own products or selling affiliate products.

Once you understand how online marketing works you won't have a problem finding customers for your products. Think of the internet like a big busy mall that gets visited by millions of people each day. In that mall you need to identify what you are selling and what you're target client base is. When you do this you'll understand why you need to be creative with your marketing because most likely you'll have competition.

The first thing you need to do is get the word out about your business, for example you can submit a press release, create articles and send them to blogs, directories and publications that allow promotional content. Your goal is to start building quality traffic to your site from site already in your niche area. You can also place ads in sites related to your niche, we suggest contacting site owners and offer them affiliate commissions or freebies for allowing your ad on their site.

In order to build a loyal customer base you'll need quality products and great service. Increasing sales is crucial and one of the best tricks to do this is adding real customer testimonials from people who are actively using your products. The best type of testimonials are video testimonials, they'll increase your sales by at least 30%.

Always offer to give your customer their money back if they are not satisfied. This will help your customers to feel more secure and provide some credibility for you and your company. If your customer knows that they can buy your product at no risk to themselves, they are going to feel more confident about their purchase. Growth is key when it comes to business. Begin by setting goals and building the foundation of your business. Keep going! Continue to change strategies and learn until your set goals are topped.
