Yesterday, it was already set that me and my friend will going to have a joint business of our own, and that is related to the internet. This is what I call a link building service.
I thought that my plan was only a mystery since my dream business is to be implemented months ago. But this is already for real guys. I'm totally blessed and I'm thrilled with excitement. If I have already launched this business earlier than now, can I market this business using online marketing?
I would say yes! But how can we market this business online?
* E-commerce for my link building are not possible. Link buiilding services don't have any products but only services. We can make a simple WordPress blog of it about the events happening in our link building service business.
* Use huge ad networks like Google Adsense, Adbrite, CasaleMedia, Tribal Fusion and so on to keep our blog alive and to gain more revenue.
* Purchase high quality SEO services from top ranked individuals like GSeo and other companies at a reasonable price.
All business like my link building service can be used for online marketing and will earn lots of revenue from it. By the way, link building services are fast growing because of the greater demand of those who like to boost their website's traffic and backlinks. This is going to be big guys! I hope the customers and orders will be flowing very soon!

I would like to inform everyone that I have finally decided what my business will be. It's being complicated in the first place on the last week of 2009, of what I want to start. Will I start a forum of my own? A microblog? A social bookmark? Or an eCommerce website? We'll the thing is, I like all of them.
But when it comes to SEO, forums is the best target to start with. But I have to say that I'm running out of funds already because of less clients. So I have my own blog, which is known as Bogartkick.com. It is just a normal WP blog of mine, but I have planned to make something interesting.
So what comes into my mind, is that I can use my own SEO services which I have the guts and strength to do it. I can do forum posting, web submissions, link wheel and do-follow blog commenting as well. So I decided to put up a cheap service page of my own which I have a small team already waiting for orders, and it's here.
http://www.bogartkick.com/services
Then I implement my own affiliate program, which anyone can give me a client that pays any of my package, that referrer will gain 10% to 15% commission on every purchase of our services. It is a good option for me, to attract more affiliates to earn with me on every purchase of service.
Then here comes my favorite part, the forums. I should have installed BBPress on my WP blog, but thanks to the answers on Digitalpoint I have question, SimplePress is easy and the best to start. So I have no other choice but to download and install SimplePress in my WP blog. And there you have it, I have my own forum in my own blog. Woohoo!
http://www.bogartkick.com/forum
Right now it's still not yet finished but soon it will be. You can promote your signature here if you want on every post, as my forum is very similar to Digitalpoint forums. For the revenue, I use TrafficRevenue which I have slide up ads on it below.
So now I have a blog, service, affiliate and forum in just one domain. This is a good business to start with. There are more developments to come when I will do SEO for my own blog.
2010 would be great enough for me to start a business!

Hello guys. Happy New Year to all! I am so happy that we are now in the new decade and it is a new beginning for us. A journey which I can start thinking to start my own business as an entrepreneur. We'll, me and my friends discussed with each other about planning a partnership business of our own. But we need to choose the best in the market today.
Social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Youtube are fast growing sites ever, so that's what we are planning to. But they are too competitive in the market and in the SERPS right now. But still, the important thing for me and for my friends is the unique visitors everyday. We don't care if our site is not on the top 100 pages, but traffic is the basis.
Why? We have Google Adsense of course. We can attach our Google Adsense ads in our social media site, of course it's a social networking site like Facebook and MySpace. The reason we need traffic is to increase the revenue sharing of our Google Adsense ads. We already know that social media is a fast growing business, but there are still lots of alternatives out there like forums, microblog, classified ad site or eCommerce.
So it really depends on our investment to create our own social media business. We have to be smart enough to create our own business, as well as to entertain and attract visitors as well if you want to be a successful entrepreneur someday. It's really worth to learn and to take risk of creating your business, because the more you do it, the more you learn how business is created from scratch to finish.

Can you consider spend yourself a vacation across the country without bringing your own map? It is hard enough to find your way in some places with a map. How hard would it be if you tried this adventure without one? Yet, this is exactly what people do every single day in the online world. They tried to build their own businesses online without having a road map to success.
1. Choose a targeted market
The biggest mistake most people make when starting a business is that they choose a product and then try to find people who want to buy it. If that is the direction you are starting from on your journey, then you are going the opposite direction from your destination.
Wise businesses operate from a different concept. They pick a market first, and then they pick a product those people are searching for. In other words, instead of trying to find leads to sell their product to, they find targeted leads and then ask them what they are wanting to buy.
2. Create your own product
Next, you need to develop a product or service for this market. Don't just jump on the bandwagon of affiliate programs when you come to this step.
3. Create a USP
Create a Unique Selling Position for your product or service. Too many companies are just trying to be competitive with other companies online. You cannot be just like the next guy and expect to make a profit in a global economy. Just going to the next guy's web site to order is too easy for your customers.
4. Pick a Domain Name and Hosting Service
The next step is to pick a domain name that describes your company, USP, and offer. Try to keep them as short and descriptive about your business as possible. Avoid using dashes or misspellings of your product. Both of these things will cause people to leave out part of your domain if they type it in. Someone else will be getting free traffic that you worked hard to obtain.
5. Develop a Customer Friendly Site
The next step in the process is to develop your web site and put it up for the world to see. If you are planning to own a full-time internet business, I recommend that you learn how to design the site yourself using one of dozens of programs which are readily available at any software store.

Are you a full time user of popular social media and networks like Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, PerfSpot, Tagged, Multiply? We'll they actually attracts you through their features and services, as they will guarantee you to make new friends and enjoy some of the coolest applications and templates that you use for your profile itself. Friendster and MySpace are one of the most ever used by the members in customizing their templates n their profile page. Facebook and Twitter are simply designed for all of the members, but more features than Friendster and MySpace. PerfSpot, Multiply and Tagged are way behind through these social media, as they're struggling to make it to the top.
What about if we join a social network that pays you for real? It is possible. I'm talking about a paid social networking program which is Apsense. They are paying you per impression, which your blog is viewed 1,000 times by unique members who are checking out your blogs. It relies on how much traffic you wanna have, and how your blog attracts customers as well.
They can let you create a group also like Facebook, and let others join in your group and to contribute something that interests them. They will also allow advertisers to advertise with them, and they will only pay for the advertising, just to deliver and generate more traffic.
The best of all, my favorite part is the "Business Center" which allows you to create your own business center or store which you can promote your affiliate programs, referral links on GPT (Get Paid To) sites, product hoplinks and many more. They are really professional at it, and they also pay you for being viewed 1,000 times, or being called as CPM (cost-per-impression). It was definitely popular in GPT sites which they create their own CPM opportunities.
This social networking company is very unique like no other, and I'm looking forward for their continued success. Apsense is really a professional site, not only for social networking, but also for business purposes.

If you have your own business which you want to expand it's services and offers worldwide, you need to get listed. One of the sources I recommend for you to get your business listed in their index is Google. Google has their own feature called Google Business Center. It is where all business firms get listed there. Keywords are definitely recommended for your business to start with.
It's important that your business is listed at the Google Business Center's database, because when the visitors and customers are trying to search the business with a specific keyword for local searches, your business could be found there. You just need to fill up the correct details of your business.
For example, if you have a spa business in New York. If you have submitted this to local listings in New York, the keywords generated would be something like "spa new york" or "new york spa". But still, it really depends on how many business that matches your own business are listed there in local searching of Google Business Center database.
However, if your website has generated more clicks than the others, you may have a chance to be on the top of search rankings. But first, you need to index your website and optimize it in order to generate more clicks to your website. You can search for the top SEO consultants existed today in the internet, in any database you found that may give you better results to make your business look very popular.
Keyword mixing is truly makes your website unique in local and international searching. You have to make sure that the keywords you're using are unique or in low competition status. If you are using highly competitive ones, your listing will be all the way down below. So try to think that your business will soon be on the top of the mountain, not below on it as keywords for your business are a basis of getting more clicks to your website.

Lots of people like me are addict to a social network program called Facebook. They mostly use Facebook for playing games like the popular FarmVille, Cafe World Domination and many others. They use Facebook just to make friends, upload photos and videos, share insights with their buddies and much more.
Don't you know that making lots of friends, fans and groupmates in your Facebook account could be profitable? If that's so, we could use this as a source of business that will pump out our web traffic and earnings in our respective affiliate programs.
There's a section in Facebook called "Marketplace", that you can actually find job opportunities, digital products or anything related to business. So how can we make Facebook as our source of business?
1. Creating a group about business and making money discussions that will target most Facebook users who are interested about it.
2. Create a fan box that is related to business and making money discussions, and to attach it on your website or blog. Keep inviting friends to join my group or fan page.
3. Post a business opportunity in the Facebook marketplace in order for the targeted Facebook customers and members to be attracted. Be professional in presenting your advertisement to them.
4. Pay for the Facebook ads which depends on your budget, as long as your ads are related to business and making money discussions.
I think these are the things that you should know on how we use Facebook as our source of business and internet marketing. I cannot say that we use Facebook alone, but also other social networks and media. It's just that we give ourselves an opportunity that what we do on Facebook, is to convert it on our business time.

Are you serious in getting your business up and good in the upcoming years? Do you want your business to be successful in terms of promoting it through the internet? It all starts with motivation, in which you will apply your online marketing skills in order to become successful on what your business has to be.
There are two kinds of marketers which I can compare and how they motivate their own business online:
1. Individual Marketer
If you are working for yourself, then you need to motivate yourself through time, dedication, focus and interest on making your goal setting be achieved. If you want to accomplish that goal, you need to jot them down in a notebook or paper, and list them according by number randomly and to set the date on where you want to accomplish you goal. Then after the goals you want, set your objectives on a separate part of the paper.
Put these goals into action, as you motivate yourself through meeting its objectives either daily, weekly or monthly. Make yourself very useful on your time spending throughout the internet. Try to convert your internet time to business time, so that your opportunities will not be wasted. It also requires time management, which you need to setup your own time or schedule of work, which it needs flexibility both work and leisure with your family and friends.
2. Group marketers
If you are working with a team of three, four or whatever number you have there, no only you motivate yourself, but also motivate your members or teammates. If all of you are working as virtual assistants for a single client, you need to plan this out with your team in order to accomplish your objectives daily for your client.
If you're the leader of the team, you must be responsible in order to motivate them as a team, and always follow their work out if there's a problem or it is finished. If your of your members is absent, try to contact him or her to explain a valid reason. Absence of members may affect the performance of your business, and so as the income. If we work as a team, we should be serious about it and motivate each other to work together in one single business, which would a potential big enterprise in both online and manual marketing.
No matter if you work alone or you have your own group, you just need motivation, and it all starts there to make your business run through the years, especially in online marketing.

Millions of people around the world are using the internet right now, especially me. They are using it just for fun like chatting, social networking, online dating, playing online games, download music and movies, researching and many more. Why don't we try to use our internet to something that makes our time worthy?
If we're talking about converting our internet time to business, then you're right. Business is usually common to all of us, especially in the internet. Like for example, Facebook and Twitter are social networks and their objective is to gain more and members and attract them on their sites respectively.
Facebook and Twitter are doing their own business already, as they make profits from members who joined and stay active on their sites. We, the members are just joining for free and to have some fun in both Twitter and Facebook.
Why don't we have to do business on our own? Is it possible to start our own business and to compete with the other ones? Yes, it is possible. There are thousands or even millions of internet users are starting their own internet business...through what?
It's your own choice, but here are some things that we can start our business through:
1. Creating an online store
2. Blogging with third party ads like Clickbank, Amazon, etc.
3. Article marketing
4. Get Paid To program
5. Multi-level-marketing
And so much more!
Before we do this, we must learn on what program we are using now and how it needs to be done. If we want to make our business very popular like Facebook and Twitter, we shall do it the hard way, because it's not very easy to do the business in the internet.
There are lots of challenges right now, and we have to face it, especially in converting our internet time to business.
