First, you need a niche! Your niche should be centered around a subject, product or system that you love. It should be something that you love learning about and sharing with others. Your niche should be your passion!

What are you passionate about? Football? Horses? Children? Politics? TV?

Write a list of the 10 things you are the most passionate about. If you are having trouble coming up with things, try to think about what it is that you do or talk about only because you really enjoy it. Even if you haven’t participated in or talked about this passion lately, what is it?

Yes, right now, before you continue reading, write it down!

Have your list? No?

Listen, this is the most important part of the process. You will spend many hours working on your home based business. It is vitally important that you choose a niche you enjoy.

Running a business should be fun!

If you are still having difficulty finding a niche you can get excited about, take a drive out to your local grocery store, go to the magazine/book aisle and look through the magazines they are selling. Each one of these magazines are niches that people want more information on.

So, right now, write your list, and then continue reading below.

Now What?

It’s time to find a highly targeted niche. This will make earning money on the Internet come much more quickly to you. In the future you can always expand, but for right now, let’s start with a very specific niche.

First Go To: Overture’s Keyword Selector Tool at http://inventory.overture.com

Type in your passion, and you will get a list of related keywords (which could be niches). The key is for your niche to be something very specific.

For example - If your passion is children and you type children at the above link, one of the keyword phrases that comes up might be children’s crafts. You could then make this a very specific niche by choosing free children’s crafts or easy children’s crafts.

As I said before, you can always (and should) expand in the future, but it’s best to start out with one very specific 3 word phrase.

First find 10 to 20 specific 3 word phrases that you could get excited about. Let me know what they are if you’d like, and I’ll help point you in the right direction (depending on the type of niche you choose) to choose the best ones based on popularity and competition.

You can also check out NicheBot.com on your own. But I’d be more than happy to show you other places to make this decision depending on the type of niche you are going for.

I can help you get started with the first 3 word phrase webpage (choosing the phrase, adding content, getting traffic to the page and finally finding affiliate programs to join) and then you can duplicate the process over and over with 3 word phrases that relate to the first one you did.

For example, if you start out with “free children’s crafts”, your next phrase might be “easy children’s crafts”. The search engines will love you for this.

This process is very simple and duplicable. You just keep repeating the process and before you know it, you’ll have a very nice income.

The power is in duplication.

You can create a whole site (all steps including design, traffic, content etc.) in about 40 hours (2 weeks if you invest 4 hours a day, 5 days a week) once you understand the process and then you are basically done with it. You just need to come back and check on it every once in a while for minor updates and to make sure that your traffic is continuing to convert into profits.

Then you will start a new site and repeat the process.

The power is in duplication.

If you need clarification on anything you’ve read so far, please let me know.

I look forward to hearing about your passion!

So, you’ve finally decided to take that giant leap of faith and start your very own home based internet business. You’ve decided that it’s finally time to step up to the plate and claim your share of all those internet riches you keep hearing about. Only problem is, now that you’ve finally made your decision, it seems like a pretty daunting task deciding what to do next. Using the term “information overload” to describe the problem seems like a huge understatement.

Well, if you’re really serious about starting your own home based internet business, the next step really doesn’t have to be that difficult at all. There are 3 relatively simple ways to start making an online income and one of them is sure to fit your particular idea of what it is you would like to do. So, just relax, take a deep breath, and peruse the following list until you find something that strikes the right cord.

1-Join One or Several Affiliate Programs

This is probably one of the easiest and quickest ways to get started making money online. The internet is full of products that have affiliate programs you can join and most of them pay generous commissions. When you join an affiliate program, you are simply making an agreement with the owner of a product that you will receive a commision in exchange for referring a prospect to that person’s product (usually a sales page that you have sent the prospect to via your affiliate link) if that prospect ends up making a purchase.

Start by choosing a product or service that you’re interested in and then visit some of the websites which have achieved top rankings for the keywords which describe that topic. You’re sure to find the top affiliate programs for that industry relatively quickly. Or, try visiting one of the many affiliate program directories (you can find them quickly enough in Google) and scan their listings and recommendations until you find something that appeals to you.

This is a good one for newbies since you don’t even need your own website to get started. You will, however, need to learn how to use the pay per clicks so you can get some targeted traffic to your affiliate link. Once you start generating some income from the pay per clicks, you can then start reinvesting some of your profits and get yourself set up with your own website. By that time the prospect of getting set up with your own website won’t seem so daunting.

2-Join a Residual Income Program

Residual income programs are somewhat similiar to affiliate programs in that you typically get paid for referring a prospect to the program’s website if that prospect decides to make a purchase. However, the difference lies in the fact that with these programs you also have the opportunity to earn a monthly recurring income if the prospect you refer becomes a paying member of the residual income opportunity program. For example, I belong to one of these programs myself. If a prospect comes to my website and clicks on a link which takes them to the sales page for the product and they buy, then I get a commission. However, if that prospect also decides to become a member of the residual income opportunity program, then I get a check every month as long as that prospect remains a member of that program.

People tend to be skeptical of these programs and get them confused with pyramid schemes. The way to tell if one of these programs is a pyramid scheme is to simply determine if the company in question offers a real honest to goodness product or service. If so, it cannot be classified as a pyramid scheme and you should be okay. Don’t be scared off by the fact that you will most likely have to pay a monthly fee to participate in the residual income opportunity. If you can build a downline for yourself in one of these programs, the monthly fee will be negligible compared to the potential residual income you could earn. Alot of these programs will provide you with your own cookie cutter website, which is okay if you are just getting started. Again, use the pay per clicks to start generating some traffic and then work on getting your own site up so you can start to build your own opt in list.

3-Sell a Hard Good or Downloadable Infoproduct

Okay, okay, I know this one doesn’t sound so simple or easy, but to be honest, it’s really not as hard as it might first appear. Selling a hard good entails offering a real physical product (like fishing poles, for instance) for sale in your own online retail store. If this idea really appeals to you, go for it. Brainstorm some products you would enjoy selling, then do some keyword research in Wordtracker to develop a targeted niche within that market (deep sea fishing poles?).

After that, you can use a drop ship source directory or the search engines to find manufacturers or distributors who will drop ship the merchandise for you (meaning they ship it directly to the customer and you don’t have to carry any inventory). Then go to Ebay or Yahoo and sign up for one of their stores. I know from personal experience that Yahoo has some merchant hosting packages that are great and super easy to use. They’ll even provide you with a shopping cart feature and help get you set up with a merchant account (so you can accept credit cards). Plus, you’ll get some traffic already built in since millions of people are using their shopping directory to browse for products every day.

As for the website itself, don’t worry. Most hosting companies today have some type of site builidng solution available for those customers who wouldn’t know an html code from a java script. Believe me folks, if I, a completely technically useless and html challenged technophobe can do this, ANYONE can.

Now, as to the infoproduct. By the way, I mean YOUR OWN infoproduct. Everyone on the web and their mother will tell you that this is the best way to make the really big bucks online. Write about something you know and/or love. The topic of internet marketing seems to have been way overdone. Unless, of course, you are a true expert on some niche internet marketing subject, then definitely do it. Just don’t do it because everyone else is.

As for the actual writing, you don’t even have to do that if you really don’t want to. You can check out a site like elance.com and post your project and have writers bid on completing the project for you! And there are so many easy to use PDF ebook creators available that formatting the book should pose no technical challenge whatsoever. Set up a simple little one sales page website with a link for payment processing, optimize the site for the engines, use the pay per clicks, find some JV partners, and you’re in the money!

By the way, I know of some guys who have about 10 or 15 of these little mini sites set up selling little reports on niche topics and raking in an average of $2,000 a month from each site. And they’re incredibly easy to set up and practically run on autopilot once you do!

Well, there you have it. Just a few relatively simple ways to get you started on the way to raking in YOUR share of the internet gold mine!

http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

1. Express the same views as your target audience.
Bring up common likes and dislikes in your ad. This
will create instant rapport with your audience.

2. Add viral marketing into your promotional plans.
Allow your visitors to give away your free stuff,
just include your ad somewhere on all the freebies.

3. Design your web site to be less confusing. Don’t
use a lot of graphics, links and anything that takes
away from your sales message.

4. Give your visitors the option of viewing your web
site by autoresponder or printing it out. They might
not have the time right then to look it over.

5. Increase your opt-in e-mail list quickly by giving
away a product at no cost. Just require people to
subscribe to your e-zine in exchange.

6. Joint venture your web business with other offline
businesses. Look for businesses that have the same
target audience and create a win/win deal with them.

7. Expand your target audience by adding a new
product line or packaging your main products with
other ones. You could also add-on extra services.

8. Persuade your visitors to like you. People buy
from people they like. You could tell them a joke,
give them a compliment, give them a freebie, etc.

9. Submit the free stuff you offer to online freebie
directories. They usually get tons of traffic because
people like to get things for free.

10. Use headlines and sub headlines that are aimed
directly at your audience. If you’re selling things to
lawyers use a headline like “Attention All Lawyers!”.

10 Ways To Get New Product Ideas
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

1. Solve an existing problem for people. There are
thousands of problems in the world. Create a product
that can provide a solution to one of those problems.

2. Find out what’s the current hot trend. You can find
out what the new trends are by watching TV, reading
magazines and surfing the net. Just create a product
that’s related to the current hot trend.

3. Improve a product that is already on the market.
You see products at home, in ads, at stores etc. Just
take a product that’s already out there and improve it.

4. Create a new niche for a current product. You can
set yourself apart from your competition by creating a
niche. Your product could be faster, bigger, smaller,
or quicker than you competitor’s product.

5. Add on to an existing product. You could package
your current product with other related products. For
example, you could package a football with a team
jersey and football cards.

6. Reincarnate an older product. Maybe you have a
book that’s out of print and is no longer being sold.
You could change the title, design a new front cover,
and bring some of the old content up to date.

7. Ask your current customers. You could contact
some of your existing customers by phone or e-mail
and ask them what kind of new products they would
like to see on the market.

8. Combine two or more products together to create
a new one. For example, you could take a brief case
and add a thermos compartment inside to keep a
drink hot or cold.

9. Survey the people who visit your web site. You
could post a survey or questionnaire on your web site.
Ask visitors what kind of products they would like to
see on the market.

10. You could create a new market for your existing
product. For example, if you’re selling plastic bottles
to a pop company, you could turn around and sell
those bottles to a fruit drink company.

10 Strategic Ways To Maximize Your Profits
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

1. Tell people the point or focus of your web site.
Explain to them what things they can do or which
goals they can accomplish while visiting your site.

2. Make your visitors feel comfortable at your web
site. Give them your main business address, your
visitors may not trust you if you’re using a P.O. box.

3. Include a FAQ on your web site or via e-mail
on an autoresponder. This will give your customers
an extra convenience without having to contact you.

4. Buy advertising space on discussion board web
sites. They are usually arranged by subject; that
makes them highly targeted.

5. Start a free e-mail newsletter to create your own
opt in list. Create a title that grabs readers attention.
Submit it to free e-zine directories on the internet.

6. Record all your new promotion ideas into an idea
journal, good or bad. Sometimes you can combine
ideas to create new ones to increase your sales.

7. Convert your web site and free e-mail newsletter
into different languages. This will increase your over-
all target market.

8. Make your classified ads stand out in a crowd.
Use all capitol letters in the headline, divide letters
with extra spaces, add in text symbols, etc.

9. Remember your customer is always right, even
if they are not. Resolve all conflicts quickly and
painlessly. They are the lifeblood of your business.

10. Create a bond with your visitors by bringing up
likes or dislikes you have in common with them in
your ad copy. Just make sure you do your research.
