Tips for Beginners on Keyword Research and Content Writing

On a general reading these tips may appear very simple but these have long-term effect in in building foundation of online business and these very strategies determine success or otherwise of any upcoming internet business. These tips are from my personal experience.

First of all, identify your business concept, topic, theme or the so-called niche market to offer to your targeted market. Perform a serious research on your niche related keywords and phrases – that is supply and demand relating to your niche product. Devote sufficient time to identify the target keywords and then develop valuable content around your keywords relating to your product or service to attract search engine traffic. Keep images, graphics etc. ready for your website beforehand. Then only follow next steps. If you want to build a website, identify a theme of your chosen niche e.g. Golf, Acne, Arthritis, Obesity or Email Marketing, Affiliate Product, and build content and keywords list first. This is critical to the success of a website. Otherwise, your website project may take very long time to take off.

To start an online business, planning is very important. Make a written plan of step-by-step actions and follow it. While we are on internet, distraction sets in easily. One has to remain careful about time management and stay focused all times in pursuing your goal. It is advisable not to take second task in hand until the first has been carried successfully and don’t bother about perfection.

Free reports, email courses, software and ebooks are available on the internet in abundance. Before any downloading anything make sure that you are going to make use of them, otherwise just leave it. There is very strong reason for this. Downloading a freebie takes your time and computer space. Download only essential things, the ones that will enhance your business. This will avoid unnecessary hard disk clutter.

It is advisable to spend some money on a good manual and home study course and keyword research software. Depending solely on freebies is waste of time because it is a very long route and unpredictable results. Start with a best available internet marketing course, manual or an ebook. If you are a beginner, develop habit of learning something new everyday and join some forums.

When you are armed with required knowledge, you can start experiments. Decide your business model - email marketing, website marketing, adsense, adwords, blog marketing, forum marketing, and stick to it. Changing mind every now and then is sheer waste of time and resources. You can easily figure out what suits you best to your situation. As a single person business operation, you cannot attend to all chores expeditiously. Outsource wherever possible because you cannot attend everything yourself unless you do internet marketing on full time basis. There is fierce competition in the internet marketing arena. Once you have built a solid foundation, you will see money rolling in.

If you learn HTML and CSS, it will pay you in the long run. In the beginning it may not be a requirement but in the long run you may feel its necessity.

The words 'secret', ‘millions’, 'free', 'get rich' etc are overwhelmingly slapped at every corner of internet. The easiest way of finding a credible program is do your research on google search engine and find suitable program and check credentials of the program owner before sign up and spending money.

Nobody on this plant likes spam emails. Make it a rule to never ever send unsolicited emails. That is termed as spamming and has legal consequences.

One thing is sure, if you work hard with patience, you will definitely SUCCEED. With this said, I wish your journey on the internet highway to be very enjoyable.
