While I would not consider myself an expert in making money by selling products online (yet), I am an expert on the internet and marketing on it. In my professional career I work marketing on it every day. My goals are to obtain leads, increase sales, make sites more visible and purchase 3rd party advertising. I am responsible for a multi-million dollar budget, so it makes it hard to simply turn around and do marketing on my own as my habits need to be changed from work to personal. I have to be much more fickle with my own money while starting out. Now that you have a little on me?
Internet marketing is a large ocean of opportunity. It is estimated that 1.4 BILLION people use the internet and that's only 21% of the world population, and it continues to grow daily. So that is a potential customer base larger than any single market. If you have a product that is of interest to .1% that is still 1.4 MILLION customers that are interested in what you are selling.
Internet marketing is about using different methods to help people find something they want, and hopefully that is something you have to sell. There are many different methods that I will talk about in the next few posts, but suffice it to say it will not be exhaustive. If you want to get started today check out traffic tactics world ( http://www.traffictacticsworld.com ), it has a lot of information to offer if your just starting out.

But as we learn in Internet Marketing, No method comes with out precious time and work. Yes you could pay some one to link build for you. The question is will it work?
My answer to this is: Most likely not. Can you buy traffic? Yes you can, Most likely again it will not work. The only real way to successfully get traffic is to make it happen for yourself. Your probably by now asking yourself.
Well how do I make it work? My favorite method is Article Marketing to build one way Backlinks. One way permanent Backlinks from Article Directory's can be the best tool a marketer keeps in his arsenal. The arsenal being the everlasting writing skills that are needed to get people to visit your site.
The most important visitors to our sites are the search engines. Google, Yahoo and MSN are like the big 3 of the Internet Search game. They also play there parts in making and breaking the marketer. In this early stage the marketer needs to play his roll very carefully with keyword enriched articles. These are the true masterpieces for the Internet Marketer.
As back in the 80's with Pepsi and Coca Cola. We have to make our lasting impressions on our consumers. We don't always have a full visual approach as in TV. So everything our visitors see in an Article need to come forward at that very second. We have to entreatingly and compel our visitors to visit our links and make it happen.
Again you are probably asking yourself more questions. These are the questions most of our big "Guru" counterparts refuse to answer. The real annoying thing is you might have paid $500, $300, maybe even $97 to hear nothing. The almighty evil sales pitch that knocked you off again?
It's truly simple, Write good Articles, Publish them and rank in the search engines.
