Internet marketing is generally defined as the marketing of goods and services over the internet. Many people I know have adopted this profession because they do not want to be confined within the limitations of working from 9 to 5. At an elementary level one can earn an income from the internet by marketing a product, and this basic type of internet marketing is called affiliate marketing. What you need to be part of this lucrative market is a computer with an internet connection, and the right internet marketing tools.

At the outset you should consider internet marketing tools as the foundation to your online success. Indeed if you choose the right internet marketing tools you stand a very good chance to make money online. To start off let us assume that you want your own website where you sell products in return for sales commissions. For a beginner the most common questions that arise are: what should the website be about? How will I create a website? How will I get people to visit my website? By using internet marketing tools you will get the answer to all of these questions.

So to find out what the website should be about you first need to consider what people are looking for, for example by looking at the keyword or keyword phrases that they are typing in the search engines. Second, it will be relevant to look at whether these people are actually spending money on the products associated with these keywords, and third you will also need to look at the amount and strength of the competition. What I mean here is that if you are interested in music for example this should not be the reason for you to put up a website to target a very competitive keyword such as “guitar”.

What you would rather do is focus on a far less competitive keyword phrase such as “cheap electric guitar” assuming people are looking for it, and actually spending money on it.  So how do you find these precious keywords? Fortunately, you have a specific type of internet marketing tool called a keyword research tool which can do everything for you.

Assuming that the keyword phrase “cheap electric guitar” meets all of three criteria above, and you have registered your domain which is www.cheapelectricguitar.com, you will now need to build your own website. This is where you have some very user friendly internet marketing tools which I call blog creators that will allow you to build your website in a matter of minutes. And the best part is that you don’t need any special technical skills to use these tools.

The next step is then website promotion. This is where your efforts will be focused on attracting traffic to your new website because remember without any traffic it will be impossible to make sales and earn commissions. Therefore your blog should be like a beautiful site with traffic coming from different bridges, and all them linking back to you. These bridges should come from the search engines, article directories, video publishing sites, social networking sites, social bookmarking sites and RSS Aggregators.

Again to promote your site manually can take a considerable amount of time, and this is why we have some great free and paid internet marketing tools which exist to make your life easier. If you really want to build a powerful online business you should make it a top priority to get traffic from these different sources.

I would like to point out that these steps that I have described in this article are equally applicable to an offline business that wants to expand online. As for someone who is looking to get some additional income or break free from his routine daily job, hard work and dedication combined with the right internet marketing tools are what it takes to achieve financial freedom.

WP stands for WordPress. What is great with WordPress blogs is that because of their special built-in features they can rank very well in the search engines.  WPDirect is a special service founded by Marty Rozmanith which is used by many newbies and experienced internet marketers alike. In fact it allows anyone to create and post content on a website in a matter of minutes. Yes you don’t need to have any special technical skills to use this service! Let me dig a little deeper here.

WPDirect has a theme gallery where there are a hundreds of website templates which you can choose from. In addition in this very user friendly control panel you have access to a variety of features among them a write post section. Thus after you have selected your website template you can then post your first article through the writepost section. Basically what this means is that you can have your very own website in around 10 mins! (provided you have registered your domain name and already written an article about your theme keyword).

For newbies this can be extremely helpful because they do not have to go through the arduous journey of learning how to build a website. Instead they can focus their efforts on other parts of their online business such as website promotion.

Experienced internet marketers also use WPDirect. What they usually do is they find a couple of promising keywords and then throw up some quick pages to test the traffic. With some basic website promotion techniques they quickly bring their sites to the top couple of pages of Google (remembering that they are picking keywords with low competition). From there they can extrapolate the expected traffic for a higher rank and decide whether it is worth concentrating on that website. Indeed this is what the real online marketing pros do.

One other very powerful feature of WPDirect is their auto post content software. For a site to do very well in the search engines one of the pre-requisites is that the site must be active. Finding content everyday on the internet about your theme keyword and category keywords and then posting it to your website might be a time consuming task.

Fortunately WPDirect basic bronze account has three auto post content software which find and post relevant content to your blog. The three auto content software includes youtube videos , wordpress rss and wordpress answers. You also have the freedom to specify the timing of the postings, for example, you might want to use the auto content software to post one keyword relevant you tube video to your blog every two days.   

Another feature of WPDirect is that it fully optimizes the onpage factors for your blog. What this means is that to rank well in the search engines your blog must be optimized. There are a variety of search engine optimization techniques which must be used by blog/website owners and these can be broadly classified as on page and off page factors. Fortunately WPDirect takes care of all the on page factors such that your theme keyword appears in the title of your homepage, in the description and meta-tags.

In fact WPDirect has shown that a very large majority of newbies who has used its service has ranked on the first page of google for their keywords. This is especially crucial since without traffic it would be hard for a website to be profitable.

Therefore as you can see from the above WPDirect offers a variety of benefits for anyone who is interested in earning an income online. In fact I believe that the potential of WPDirect is unlimited. Assuming that you have rightly done the process of identifying profitable keywords and put up a relevant website which is now earning you some cash you might well want to start this process over and over again. You could then end up having hundreds of websites all managed by WPDirect and most important making you some serious money online.

One process which is easy to do but feared my many newbies is domain registration and hosting.  I have gone through this process several times and I really can’t find better than hostgator.  In addition of saving you the hassle of registering the domain somewhere else and then moving it to hostgator the best solution would be to pay one or two dollars more at hostgator for registration and then hosting the domain on a baby plan.

I believe Hostgator’s baby plan is the best plan for any internet marketer. This is because it costs only $9.95/month, offers excellent customer service, and allows you to host an unlimited number of domains. This means that you can host hundreds of websites with hostgator while paying only $9.95/month. This contrasts hostgator’s hatchling plan of $4.95 whereby you have the possibility to host only one website on your account.

The first thing that you must do if you want to start your own online business to hopefully start making money from the internet is keyword research. This is particularly important because this will determine what your online business and your website will be about. I would emphasize here not to be biased to favor only things that you like. Instead you should have an open mind and focus your efforts in finding a profitable niche where there is not much competition.

This is where keyword research becomes critical to your success online. Let me explain. When you are new to the internet it would be practically impossible to compete for very competitive keywords which people type on the search engines. For example if you put up a website in which you target a keyword such as “shopping” it would be practically impossible for you to rank on the first page of google. In Fact to be on the first page of google is truly vital because this is how you will get free traffic to your website whereby you can expect to make some sales and earn commissions. However as I shall explain later apart from the search engines  there are a variety of other free traffic sources which you can tap into.

Coming back to the search engines, the websites who are already on the front page of are really too strong to compete against because of many reasons. They have been up and running for many years, have a high Page Rank and thousands of backlinks. Don’t worry if you do not understand these concepts right now as you will become more familiar with them as you move along the internet marketing journey.

Therefore it would be crucial to find a profitable niche where competition is not strong. In other words you should find keyword phrases which people are typing on the search engines and eventually spend money on, such as buying a product. In addition these keyword phrases should not be very competitive.

This is where market samurai comes in very handy. The keyword research module in market samurai is what you need to identify the profitable keywords and/or keyword phrases where the amount of competition is low.  However this is not all. In addition market samurai has 7 other powerful modules!

Indeed it would be relevant to point out that the power of market samurai does not lie only in finding profitable and low competition keywords. Market samurai is in fact a complete package for anyone who is new to online business or any experienced internet marketer who wants to save considerable time. Over and above the keyword research module which is free to use for life, market samurai offers 7 additional modules. The other modules are:

SEO COMPETITION- This module goes deeper than the keyword research module in identifying the strength of the competition. You will find out exactly why and how the top 10 sites are ranking on the first page of google. If for example the top 10 sites have too many backlinks, that is,  competition is too strong, the SEO matrix will indicate this to you. For less competitive niches you might to put up a website and market samurai shows you exactly where the top 10 are getting their backlinks from. You can then use this information to get these powerful backlinks to your own website.

DOMAINS MODULE- This module helps you to find a suitable domain name for your website by considering top level domains (.com,.org or .net) and keyword density which is the % of your main or theme keyword  in your domain name.

FINDING CONTENT- This module helps you to find content which are relevant to your keywords from a variety of sources and you can then use them to write your own website content.  

MONETIZATION- This module helps you to find profitable products to promote on your website. The products for your keywords are retrieved directly from clickbank, amazon and paydotcom and you can then sell them on your websites and earn affiliate commissions.

PUBLISHING CONTENT- This module helps you to publish the content you have created along with the products you have chosen to sell to earn commissions.

PROMOTION- Finding out relevant and powerful backlinks from blogs and forums(to name a few) which are relevant to your keywords and leaving your comments  on them. By leaving a link of your websites on these blogs and forums the link network of your website can dramatically improve.

RANKTRACKER- After your website is up and running this module helps you to track/monitor your positions in the search engines. You can know exactly what is your position in each of the major search engines which are google, yahoo and bing.
