In Today’s Business World, Every Potential Online Customer Is Just One Click Away…Sieze The Moment.
The prospect to make money online has never been better than it is today. In addition, it is easier for you to start an online business to sell your products and services.
Eleven years ago when we started to market online, the only practical way to get free traffic was to work hard at SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and get ranked on the first page of Google. The only other option was to pay to get prospects by advertising on Google.
Advertising for our two top keywords cost twelve-dollars and fifteen-dollars per click, respectively. It would not take very long to spend thousands of dollars advertising on Google. We were just starting out so the thought of spending thousands of dollars in paid advertising wasn’t possible. Consequently, we worked hard at SEO, landed on the first page of Google within 6 months (which was unheard of at the time) and we’ve ranked in 2nd to 4th position for our keywords ever sense. Today we see many online businesses ranking on the first page of Google in a matter of days, but that was not the case eleven years ago.
Today there are many paths for people to come across your website on the internet, which diminishes the importance of ranking on the first page of Google. They can find you through blogs, social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, YouTube, inexpensive advertising, and a verity of other paths.
In fact, I attended a seminar where Jeff Johnson (an internet guru) produced a video that ranked on the first page of Google three days later, for the keywords he was targeting. If you would like, you can locate a significant collection of Jeff’s videos on YouTube.
It wasn’t that long ago that Facebook didn’t exist, but today it has more searches daily than Google. What does that signify to you? You need to be on Facebook, or you will miss a massive market.
Several years ago, if you were going to have an online presence, you needed the technical expertise to construct a website. Today, you can set up a blog on many Web 2.0 sites and without any technical programming background. It only takes a day to put up a marketing page, monetize it and start marketing.
Eleven years ago only a small part of the world’s population was online. The latest stats show that in 2000, there were 360-billion people online and at the moment there are 1.73-trillion people on the Internet. In other words, one out of every four people in the world is online. This is a massive market to sell your products and services too.
It is my belief that there has never been a better time to make money online by starting an internet business than there is today. Will you seize this huge opportunity is the only question that remains to be answered?
