What is Internet Marketing
Courtney, What are you doing?
Internet Marketing…
Tell that to people and much of the time you will get a blank stare, a pause, and then another question. Most people understand that it has something to do with the internet but don’t necessarily know exactly what I’m talking about.
And that’s understandable because the perception of Internet Marketing varies from person to person.
Affiliate Marketing
A more appropriate response from me should have been: I’m an Affiliate Marketer, I build small (mini) niche web sites and sell other peoples products or services online. That’s pretty much it in a nutshell.
Some of my sites are best way to get abs, roland td9 review and parrot training. These are small websites designed to simply “answer” a question and provide a “solution.” That’s all you want do. Build a few, get them indexed and ranked in Google and each will bring a small amount of steady revenue.
The term “Internet Marketing” is simply one method of “Marketing” a product or service; it’s just a medium. For instance, postal mail is a popular form of marketing which has been around for decades. Other marketing mediums are the obvious ones such as, TV, magazines,etc.
Internet Marketing is relatively new to the scene in comparison but it’s reach is awesome and very powerful. But the goal is the same no matter what method is employed: Find a problem and offer a solution. Advertisers have been doing it for years and with the advent of the internet it’s become common place as marketers do the same.
This is what I do through Affiliate Marketing online.
Marketing Models
So lets break this down even further because there are actually different “Models” of marketing online.
Some include:
Freelancing – ie. You’re a web graphics designer and make web banners for clients. You do the job,you get paid.
Auctions – ie. eBay,, Simply huge right?
Info Marketing – ie. Marketing digital products
Ecommerce – ie. Amazon or Shopping Cart Model
Affiliate – ie. Promoting others products or services. Promote the product, get a commission.
Many Internet Marketers make a full time income elusively simply by being an affiliate and marketing other peoples stuff. This is an excellent way to get started and it’s my method of choice as I continue development of my own product.
Developing your own products and services should be your ultimate goal of course. And by starting out as an affiliate you will gain experience and develop your marketing skills. So when it comes time to launch YOUR OWN product or service you will know exactly what to do.
In the mean time you can sell other peoples products. Here’s an example of how you can earn a passive income by doing a Youtube video. I did a video on how to use WordPress and put it on Youtube. As the video gained recognition I attached a product to it.
You can see how I did it here. As you can see, in the description under the video there’s a link, I easily attached a product which helps people and I get paid for doing it. Again, I’m an affiliate for the product creator.
Because of the response I got from this particular tutorial, I’m in the process of creating my “own” video series on WordPress which I will market and get “all” the proceeds. 
There are many other advantages and benefits to starting out as an affiliate marketer. I will discuss this in another article where I go into great detail as I examine “Affiliate Marketing Explained”.
Local Web Design
I’ve also branched out and started doing web design for local businesses in my area. This happened as a result of being in the business building sites for myself. So now I’m doing it for profit. You can see some of my work on one of my personal web design sites here.
Well that’s it for now guys. This is the short and sweet of Internet Marketing and I hope this answers some of those nagging questions.
Once you get started you’ll find that it gets easier and you will discover so many ways to parlay what you learn into small profitable niches. It’s Great! You just have to start by making a true decision. What is a true decision? <—–
Stay focused and Stay faithful. I wish you every good thing.
And Remember…. You Can do anything you want*
