Before you start anything you need to know what are you going to jump in, your BIG NICHE/TOPIC.  Then you do your in depth research of the niche, whether it is a product review or a informational site or even doing some PPC with adsense.

Research to Determine The Success of your Business

We need to go through this step first, as this step is very and maybe the ultimate step before you go. And can determine your level of success in the future. We going to have some overview on some different method in internet marketing.

Product Review

Product review is one of the marketing on online business that been around for years and popular among the internet marketer.  A lot of things you can do, you promoting a physical product by doing some review and provide information for that particular product.  You can become an affiliate with Amazon, CJ, or any other big retailers that provide Affiliate Programs.

Amazon and CJ are great afilliate to do product reviews.

You could easily apply for Amazon or Commission Junction or other affiliate sites, an usually they quickly approved your application. But always read their policy so you won’t get kick in future.

But today it is a bit difficult to get rank for this kind of site, since the latest update on Google, they put the big retailers in the first page rank.  So you need to carefully choose the niche, product and keywords that doesn’t compete with the main retailer.

Product review sites not impossible, but need more efforts to put.

It’s true that need some efforts, so if you build the authority way you can rank it in time.

Informational Site

This type of internet marketing is the great way to get the success, because there are tons of information you can dig in. You definitely can provide more info that are more better or give a solution at least.  You can do this by doing research on what people needs or people want, then you give them what they needed most. Fast, quick and reliable solutions or answer.

Provide them with an answer and solutions

There are a lot of program that provide affiliates to give you a HOP link that you can use. So you can include this hop link, whenever the people click on it, they will be sent to the affiliate/product sales page. And you can get some commission once they buy.

The most reliable among the marketer is Clickbank, you can find tons of informational product and digital product. You can have digital product review or some E-book that provide informational product.

These two are great for internet marketing beginners as they don’t need so much amount of money when you get started. Compare doing PPC which very much has the complexity and need some amount of money to spend at start.

Go search and research all the niche and affiliates, just make some action and you’ll find out.

This are the thing you need to have before you are doing your research :

1. excel program / open office is good (free), or you just have a google+ account you can do your spreadsheet in the google document.
2. pencil and paper are the best friend.
3. google webmaster account so you can use google keyword tools without captcha.
4. Find a role model or someone you want to follow and learn for. For me I have my great role model, which I believe one of the best. I will talk about this later on other post.

It’s not easy to find this “Niche” , specially for the internet marketer beginners like me or you. This could take your time and efforts, but if you know how to do it efficiently or at least you know the step. It could help you cut the process, although not instant but it is very helpful.
