I lost my job some time ago and don't had a change to get a new one.
I was very sad, no work and money
Than I decided to start with an online business.
Here on this forum I'll write about my experiences with my online marketing.
At this time I cannot live from my Internet business but I'm very confident to make my living from my online business within this year.
I'm going to list my activities on this blog and the results I'll get
I'd be appreciated to get comments from other online marketers and discuss with them about strategies and experiences.
Which Language For Content Sites
I decided to focus on the English language although my native language is German.
Because the majority of all Internet surfers have English as their native language and most of the others ones also speak English this is a good choice to covers the biggest market.
Products, Services, Adsense or Affiliate Programs?
I don't want to sell hard products, charge credit cards and bothering with charge backs, ship them and handle return and all the other you've to do when selling CD's, books etc.
So the best way to start is to sell product which already make money for others.
Which products sell best.
It's absolutely important to focus on a market where you are interested in. This should be my hobby, I should have experiences in this niche, or should be very exited to get familiar with this niche and become and authority.
I brainstormed and found this markets I'm interested in:
- Telecommunications, VoIP, Cell Phones
- Home Improvement and Remodeling
- Finance services, loans, mortgages, credit card debt ..
- Computers especially embedded systems
- Digital TV
But which is the best marked to start with?
I made a market review to find my niche where I could make the most money within a reasonable time.
Which market gets the most visitors and how much do advertisers pay to advertise in these markets?
When a niche get many visitors and people are willing to pay much money to pay on content sites of these niches I should be able also to get some money in this niche.
One resource to find how much people are looking for which search terms is
on Overture at http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
Then I looked how much advertiser have to pay for Adsens clicks when searching in Google and I was surprised how much they are paying. I could not believe that people pay up to $12 for a 4 word search term, it's incredible.
OK, I decided to start with a site about credit card debt and developed the site http://www.credit-card-faq.com .
I'm not a good copy writer, so I hired a good guy in Pakistan to write the consent for me.
This is enough for today.
I'll continue later.
