Now that you have picked your products to sell on the internet, you have some choices to make.Who will host your website? There are premade and all inclusive choices. Domain names are available for as low as $4.95. Check your search engines for these. A logical choice for your domain name is to piggyback off an existing keyword for some free advertising. Our site is similar to "home in business" (popular keywords). This will save us some advertising money.



Advertising your site could be as tedious as picking out your domain name. The site gives me free reports to hand out, such as Dotcomology. Free handouts are good and these are branded with our codes for later referrals. You can also use surf exchanges to earn free credits for your advertising. Posting at forums is a good way to get back links to your site. Leave your signature at the bottom of your post to create your back links.

Go to Google Toolbox to register your site,verify and create a site map. Do the same with Yahoo(free)and also MSN.The site will give you many resources. Look at any site at the top list of a search engine as a good place to start. Having viral traffic is a major plus. Manual search engine submit is also advised.

Although there are many avenues on the net to pay for advertising. Do not get caught spamming or click cheating for there is low tolerance for this. Don't use any list or program to mass submit content. I joined several traffic exchanges, but I find it hard to find time to surf for free credits. There are some free ads and some have upgrades for low cost per year. You get what you pay for.Local ads in newspapers in small circulation magazines are also good. Enzine lists can be bought cheaply (e-magazines) or you could do flyers door to door.

On the net, everyone has seen most of it already so it's hard to stand out. Low key ads with small print and no exclamation points are best. Leave out the adjectives because hype is a turnoff. Pay Per Click(PPC)ads are costly. Use some research to try pricing these keywords or key phrases. All and all,start small and keep to your budget.

As you look through everyone's ads, remember the ones you looked at even further and why. Do the same with emails. Which ones did you open? Which ones did you NOT open? Keep it cool about telling your family and friends for a while as you may get a distaste for your new found business. Tell them after you're doing well!
