I have been trying to make a living at Internet marketing for the past 7 or so months and I can’t seem to get it right. I have 3 niche websites right now that I promote affiliate products on. Last month the most that one of the websites brought in for sales was $250, the other two brought in $110 and $85.
I really survive on less than $500 a month, so it looks like I need some help bad. I was laid off from my job which is why I started Internet marketing. I am really now contemplating looking for a 9-5 job again as this is not working out.
Can someone please let me know what Internet marketing methods they use and how successful they have been? I really need this!
There are several Internet marketing methods that are successful, but I have found that you can’t just limit yourself to one. You have to do more than just one method to get traffic to your site and make money. The methods that I use are article marketing, building an opt-in email list, utilizing social media sites, and building backlinks.
For article marketing I try to put up at least 1-2 articles a week for each one of my sites. Some of my earlier sites now have almost 100 articles written (which is great for backlinks) and I am really seeing the money from those earlier sites start to come in. You say that you have only been doing this for 7 months, just know that it does take time. It can take up to a year to really see the traffic start pouring in and to start really seeing the money.
Another thing to remember is the proper picking of your keywords. Make sure you are building your backlinks for the keywords that you want your site to be ranked for. For example, if you have a website on dog training, you may want the keywords dog training, dog trainer, train dog, and dog obedience. You would need to pick the most profitable keywords that you find for your website’s niche. Simply researching which ones will get you ranked quicker is the best way to go about picking your keywords.
I was completely lost when it came to Internet marketing methods when I first started about 2 years ago. Fortunately a friend told me about Matt Bacak, who has some awesome info on Internet marketing and what you should be doing.
