There are three things that you need to consider when starting an Internet based home business. The most important thing is training. Second, you should have a good understanding of sales copy. Third, you should make sure that your products produce enough income to support a pay per click marketing campaign.
The Internet is constantly changing. What worked in online marketing last year may not be as effective this year. It's important to have a general understanding of Internet marketing and use what works. There are a lot of methods to market with but you need to find a few that you like. Do those consistently in order to be successful. This will serve two purposes. It will make you an expert at those methods and you should find it much easier to keep up with changes. Plugging into experts who already know how to market in the areas that your interested in will greatly reduce trial and error. When you make mistakes chalk it up to experience. There is not a single Internet marketer who has not experienced frustration with their marketing efforts. The successful ones are the ones who recommit to fine tuning their efforts on a regular basis.
Understanding sales copy is a must. Even if you are doing video marketing. Ultimately everything that you put into your marketing effort will be a sales funnel. Learning how to write copy is extremely important. If you are going it alone (i.e. writing your funnels from scratch) then I would suggest that you spend a lot of time learning how to. There are several great books on writing copy. "How To Write A Good Advertisement" by Victor Schwartz is a great book about writing copy. I would also highly recommend "The Copywriter's Handbook" by Robert Bly. Learning how to write copy is a skill that will pay for itself again and again.
Pay per click advertising is by far the most effective form of online advertising. Most people come to online marketing, however, and think that Google or Yahoo are the holy grail. It is not the search engines that make pay per click so lucrative. Ultimately it is in the keywords that you will find the gold. The great thing about keywords is that you get your ad in front of people who are actively searching for what you are offering. That is of course if you have planned your advertising correctly. The downside is that you pay for every click. If you don't know what you are doing this can get expensive. One mistake that you can make when doing pay per click is not having a product that produces enough income to offset the cost of the advertisements. Make sure that your product line brings in a high enough profit margin to cover the cost. High ticket items with long tail keywords are best. A long tail keyword is when you find a specific niche that has sufficient traffic (i.e. long tail: "weight loss programs in New York"; not long tail: "weight loss"). You must read Perry Marshals book "A Definitive Guide To Google Adwords" before you embark on any pay per click advertising effort.
Implementing these three things into your Internet based home business will put you ahead of the crowd. You will find that your business is more successful if you follow people who have already found success on the Internet. Don't try to go it alone. Learn how to market, how to write copy, and make sure you have a product line that can eventually support pay per click advertising.
