Can You Start An Internet Business With No Money?

Many people are enticed by businesses they can start with little or no money. Is it possible to start an Internet Business with no money?

Yes.

I did it, but I'll be the first but not the last to tell you that I would have saved a bunch of time and heartache if I'd had some cash to hire someone who knows how to achieve and launch successful marketing/sales campaigns.

In other words, If I could have paid someone to do all the tedious/grunt work I'd be further along in my Internet Marketing than I am now. Oh, well.

Don't get me wrong, I've learned a lot about marketing strategy, some of what it takes to be successful at Google Adwords, Email marketing, list building, keyword research and article marketing.

There are some other tid bits I've picked up along my year and two month Internet marketing experience but it's late and I can't remember everything at the moment.

One important fact that I've learned is that optimizing your website is a compilation of factors that work together to build website popularity in your market. Some people think if they generate tons of backlinks they will start receiving enormous amounts of traffic.

Quality Backlinks are great to have but are not the overall determining factor in website optimization. The most important skills for an aspiring Internet entrepreneur to have would be:

  1. determination
  2. perseverance
  3. drive
  4. pride
  5. organization
  6. analytical skills

With these 6 skills the rest will fall into place like devoting a substantial amount of time to your business. Learning from and moving past failure. Taking challenges head on. Ensuring you are offering your market something of value. Keeping everything related to your business organized such as files, folders, etc. Last but not least knowing how to determine where there are opportunities for improvement and capital gain in the long and short run.


Let this marinate and I'll talk to you soon,

Search Engine Ranking May Not Be Important

Seach engine ranking also called page rank can be defined as what place your website appears in search results. Websites are given a PR rating and the higher the number means the more pages you havewith in the first 20 search resultSearch engine ranking also called page rank can be defined as what place your website appears in search results. Websites are given a PR rating and the higher the number means the more pages you have in the first 20 search results.

  1. A combination of things will get your website a high PR. The first is, patience, high PR does not happen overnight.
  2. Quality back links: You should continue to get backlinks as long as you have a website.
    Numerous back links: How many? The more the better.
  3. Low competition mid level searched keywords/phrases: this is most important and the hardest to achieve for a Novas.
  4. Articles submitted to 300+ directories: This is tedious and should be outsourced or use article submission software.
  5. Add new content to your website on a weekly basis: no more than twice a week should be fine. Anymore than twice a week may set off "auto generated website" flags with search engines and get your website deindexed.
  6. Post to related forums and blogs that allow you to use a signature link.
  7. Start a blog and link back to your website where possible (do not duplicate your content).

There are other ways to gain high PR but in the grand scheme of getting visitors to do what you want them to PR isn't very important.
