Internet marketing isn’t for everybody, just like being an entrepreneur isn’t for everybody. But, when you’re putting in an effort without a formula that others have proven to work you’re not only losing money but you’re wasting valuable time as well. What you’re about to discover over the next several pages are PROVEN strategies that I and countless others have used to generate profits from so you can use and emulate for your own home-based Internet business. Making money isn’t hard, once you know the exact steps to take then it’s just a matter of getting into action to implement each one. I’m here to serve you as your guide and hopefully provide you with enough of a learning curve so you don’t waste valuable months or even years trying to figure this stuff out. It’s not complicated at all once you learn the systems’ ins and outs, you can tell someone how to do it in person over and over again with enough practice of your own. I’ll also add this… You’ve got to have passion. If you’re not passionate and self-driven enough to see this come into fruition it probably won’t happen for you. But if you adopt a “no-matter-what” attitude then you’re on the right track and one step closer toward reaching your goal(s). So let me ask you this: Are you ready? ...Then let’s get on with it!! © 2010 www.DarioMontesdeOca.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 4 These are the steps to take for creating your foundation: The “Marketing Funnel”. Your home-based business starts right here… © 2010 www.DarioMontesdeOca.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 5 Step 1: Select Your Niche In order to make money online, you need to generate sales. And in order to generate sales you need a niche you can sell to. Selecting a niche your passionate about is great if there’s enough competition in that niche. Competition is a good thing and will tell you several things: 1. It is a market that people are already buying in (people won’t stick around if something isn’t selling, hence the competition. It’s a good thing). 2. People are already making money in that niche (your job is to ethically find buying customers and bring them into your **marketing funnel). **Marketing funnel: The funnel you will be setting up with the help of this report that you will drive traffic (and profits) to. A good way to find out if a niche has enough competition to profit from is a site called the Google Adwords Keyword Tool: https://www.adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal Enter different keywords and phrases to search and brainstorm for ideas for the niche you want to profit from. Almost anything above 3,000 searches is a good place to start, as long people are buying for those keywords. You can find (or create) a high quality product to promote to the people searching those keywords. For example, if you type in “Hot Wheels” you will see there are LOTS of searches for this keyword. © 2010 www.DarioMontesdeOca.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 6 You’ll also see related terms such as “Hot Wheels Acceleracers” “Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt” and “Hot Wheels Monster Trucks,” these are all being searched for very often which means you can potentially create a marketing funnel specifically for those terms. By the way, I use to make a living off of buying and selling Hot Wheels. I still collect certain models of those cars to this day, the majority being motorcycles and muscle cars. … And no, you don’t have to “buy and sell” to earn profits like I did. Because that’s what affiliate programs are for! A Word about “Market” and “Niche” A niche is a narrowly focused section that is part of a market. It’s basically a specialized area of a large market targeted to a specific group of people. For example, there’s a huge market for “business”. But there isn’t only one type of business. There are businesses specializing in different areas. A few of those areas are: • Real Estate • Wholesale & Retail • Stocks • Transportation • Manufacturing • Construction And even then, each of these can be divided into specialized segments or subdivisions of focus. Internet marketing is a “market” in its own right with some of the “niches” being identified as: © 2010 www.DarioMontesdeOca.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 7 • Copywriting • Social Media • Traffic Generation • Blogging • Product Creation • List Building • Affiliate Marketing Each niche in a market will demand certain needs that others won’t. But in the case of Internet marketing, all of these can be combined for massive profits. But also keep in mind that the life-long #1 asset (money-maker) is building your list… a.k.a. List Building. © 2010 www.DarioMontesdeOca.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 8 Step 2: Get Your Domain Name A domain name is the name for your website. Having your own domain is the most essential part of your online business. Although it is very possible to generate sales online without one, you’ll be able to rake in more and more profits when you do have one. It’s like buying property on the Internet. My advice: Get at least ONE. Even two… Or three… Key Tips When Getting Your Domain Name: • Keep it easy to remember • Use only “.com” if available • Don’t purchase a name too full of “hype” (non-believable) • Make it unique • Use your niche ‘keywords’ in the name (if you like) or… • Keep it generic You want to keep the name of your site easy to remember for obvious reasons. You want people to remember it so they’ll keep coming back, among other reasons like it staying in their head making it easy for telling others about it. The trick to making it easy to remember is by not making it hard to say! Simple and easy to spell words work best. The general default word people think of when a website name comes to mind is “.com”. If “.com” isn’t available for the domain, I would suggest getting a different one. www.EarnAMillionDollarsAMinuteGuaranteed.com! – Is HYPE. People will see right through this. Don’t do it. © 2010 www.DarioMontesdeOca.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 9 You can even have fun while researching and coming up with different ideas and names for websites (I know I do). Create enough of a unique twist on a website name and some people will remember it forever. In every niche there are going to be certain ‘universal’ words everyone in that niche will know. You can use this to your advantage by purchasing a domain with these words in it. Keeping a “generic” domain is a great idea and something you can use for multiple purposes. For instance, you can temporarily promote material with that domain and a month or year later, change it to something else. Also keep in mind that almost every domain name you come up with will likely be taken already. No sweat! Here’s what you do: Keep coming up with different keywords and ideas until you’ve found more than enough you can potentially buy. Make a list of all the available domains that you come up with (at least 20, 50 even better, it won’t be hard), pick 1-3 of the best ones and purchase those, or keep brainstorming for more. You can spend several hours or even days doing this, but in the end it will be well worth it. If you’re in this for the long haul like I am, I suggest you get YOUR NAME as a domain name. Not everyone will be able to do this, of course, depending on if it’s already taken. But I recommend it. You can add elements to your name if it is taken. For example, if your name is John Smith you can probably add “Ask” or “WhoIs” in front © 2010 www.DarioMontesdeOca.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 10
