These 2 concepts are completely different, and in this article I’m going to explain to you that difference.

Let’s begin with the first one, “Internet Marketing.”

The one main, critical thing you can’t forget at all costs is what ‘marketing’ really is. Take a moment and think about that, like really think. What – to you – is ‘marketing’?

If you boil it down to the core, Marketing is finding a group of people that have a shared problem, then find the answer to that problem and give it to them. Give that group of people the solution to their problem.

I know this may sound basic, but a lot a times people forget about this entirely (me included!). Instead of focusing on giving people what they want, they get distracted by any number of things: making money, creating websites, making everything perfect, waiting for the right time, spending time doing things that don’t apply to what they’re doing…

There’s so many distractions out there, but that first one from above, ‘making money’, is probably the biggest one. And I say that because when the focus of your efforts is on making money, you lose focus of what you’re doing, which is to provide people with solutions to their problems. That’s marketing, and by marketing and providing value to people, the money will follow.

Now, on the other hand, there’s “traffic generation.” To drive traffic to a website, you simply put out content that makes people want to visit your site. To do this, there’s article marketing, video marketing, forum marketing, social media marketing, banners/ads, PPC, press releases, and tons more. But, traffic generation is simply the act of getting people to your website. Marketing is a whole other beast entirely.

To further illustrate this, let me ask you something: if you put in the time to write articles and make videos to get all these people to your site, and they DO go to your site, but they don’t like what they see or your message isn’t strong enough, or something else happens to make them leave… And they end up taking no action… Does it benefit you at all?

No. It doesn’t.

What’s the whole point of driving all of those visitors to your website if they don’t take an action when they get there? You’re driving them to your site to fill out a form, opt in to a list, make a comment, or some specific action. If your marketing is terrible and they end up leaving, you’ve wasted your time.

That’s how “traffic” is different from “marketing.” To maximize your efforts with generating leads into your business, it’s really necessary that you learn how to get those people, those possible leads, to take an action when they get to your site. Otherwise, you’re definitely wasting your time.

Hopefully by now you realize the difference between marketing and traffic generation. Both are necessary, but they work together to create a powerful campaign. One without the other results in wasted time and effort, and a lack of business growth.

You need to commit yourself to learning how to market to people, since that’s probably why your business is in a stand-still. Unless you know how to market to people; in which case, you need to learn the fundamentals of traffic generation and driving people to your website (specifically ‘targeted’ people).

On that note, by all means, check out the free video series I made for you on how to get massive traffic to your website and generate more leads than you know what to do with… Just head on over to FollowTom.com/Video and get it now.

The obvious is that you need a computer with an internet connection preferably high speed. Next the correct mindset must be maintained. In other words, internet marketing is a business and it should be treated like a business. You must have dedication to your job and a desire to run the business to it’s fullest potential. To succeed with any goal, determination and focus on tasks at hand must also come as key factors with your business.

New skills and knowledge will be learned throughout the process of putting your system together and you cannot be afraid of a little change here or there. How to Become an Internet Marketer from Home will take a few new skills such as learning how to build a squeeze page, setting up an auto responder for list building, and how to drive traffic to your site are just to name a few.

Be advised, you will need to set aside a few dollars each month for your business to get started. I know you may have read that you can do it for free. This is true only up to a certain point in the business when you will need to purchase a domain name, have a web host serve that domain, and an auto responder to serve your list of subscribers. At this time you should be able to do all of that for around fifty dollars. Where else can you start up a business to make money for fifty bucks?

Build your list of subscribers. Get started if you haven’t already. Any internet marketer will tell you that the money is “in the list”. You do this by building a squeeze page and giving away something of value for free such as a guide or a report. For them to get this valued bit of information, they must first sign up or “opt-in” giving you their name and email address so that you can build a trusting relationship with them so they will buy from you time after time.

Find a plan and not a scam on How to Become an Internet Marketer from Home. There are a few, and I say only a few good membership sites that won’t take you for your money and give you nothing in return. Learn all you can, do your research and take your time. Once you find the niche that works for you, stick to it like glue and repeat.

Make money at home and get started today with a free Internet Marketing Basics guide from http://www.wealthandmoneyonline.com. you owe it to yourself.

Let me start out by saying that several of the basics come natural after a while but in the meantime, I’ll give you a few tips to help build your confidence and get you started on a path to success if you so choose to go this route.

A proper mindset is a must. Determination, dedication, and the desire to succeed needs to be your main focus. This is not a “point and click” or “get rich quick” business and it will take some hard work to get things rolling. A procedure needs followed and a system in place for you to be successful.

How to Earn a Living with Internet Marketing depends on you and how much knowledge and skill you apply to set the pace for your future and this can be accomplished in a very short amount of time. Start by finding something that you have an interest in and know a little about. This will make the rest of the system easy.

Next you’ll need three things. A domain name for your niche, a web-host, and an auto-responder. These three tools will separate you from the majority of people trying to be an internet marketer. A domain name makes your site name look more professional than a blog name. A web-host is needed once you get a site built, and an auto-responder will build your list of subscribers to market to.

Set up a squeeze page first with something of value you will give away for free in exchange for the persons name and e-mail address. After several auto-responses, tell them why they will need product “X” in order to succeed in finding the solution to their problem. Build the trust, then make the sale. Utilize the facts and fill them with valuable information, (people like facts and statistics). Then to get them to your site, write articles, join forums and talk about it, social media sites are all good places and ways to get traffic to your site.

This information is only skimming the tip of the iceberg but once you get your system in place all you have to do is get good at what you do then repeat again and again. You will be able to tell your readers How to Earn a Living with Internet Marketing using your system. Most of all have fun at it.

It may surprise you to know that internet marketing has its good part, bad part and ugly stories. But it is what you make of it that will determine what and where you will be in the next couple of weeks.

The Advantages

Up till this moment I have not been able to think out bizarre reasons why the offline marketing is preferable to an online business. It is of importance to tell you that online business is the trend for now. Every notable and prosperous business, organisation, corporation and institution has an image on the internet and this provides the avenue for cash to trade hands. I will be discussed some of the advantages the internet has over our regular market place.

1. Your Online Presence Is Live 24/7

Except you pull out your website, it remains alive and visible to people around the world 24/7. People can find you and still do business with you even when your offline shop has closed and even when you are sleeping. Think about this!

2. You Reach The Whole World Through Your Online Store

It is not like the offline shop you have that is limited to customers around you. Your website will give you customers from around the world.

3. It is Quite Easier And Less Expensive To Setup

How much do you think it will cost you to have an online shop? Consider that you will need to register your company with the Government agency concerned. You will need to rent a shop space and then you stock up your shop with the goods you need to sell. Let me think of the rough estimate – $3,000?! But for an online business, you can start with as little as $30. Can you beat that?

4. No Godfatherism

You cannot be relegated to the background because you do not have a sponsor. It is an equal playing ground for every Tom, Dick and Harry. You must just worth your salt. Be good in your field.

5. Gives You Complete Freedom

This is 100% true! Once you have fully setup your online systems and they are fully functional, you can easily attend to any program you wish to. You are not supervised by anybody but your own self! You are your own boss.

6. You Can Easily Create Multiple Sources Of Income

Because it is cheap and easy to setup, you can have so many systems created just for your own profits.

7. Overwhelming Profits

Did you notice that all the advantages of starting an internet business points to just one end point? More Money!!!

The Disadvantages

1. You don’t see who you are dealing with

Since internet marketing is done via the internet, there is no way you can see the person you are either buying from or selling to. You only do business based on trust on the person’s reputation. This is why Scamming is so high on the internet. You just have to be careful. In my next blog letter, I will show you a simple way to detect a scam site so that you do not be a victim.

2. You can easily be distracted

This is true for starters. Since the internet has billions of websites struggling for relevance and for your attention, so many offers (fake and real, outdated and recent) are pushed to you. All these can only lead to worthless spending, confusion and frustration.

3. You must work very hard at the beginning

Who says internet marketing is all profits! Profits!! Profits!!! Yes that can be true but for newbies, you must burn so many hours out per day to learn all the witty gritty of your chosen niche.

4. You will face a larger competition

Remember, billions of websites are struggling for relevance and for your attention. So what do you make out of that?

You can become a mega millionaire through the internet. It is never impossible. Get more business ideas and learn all you need to know from http://www.globalcashconcepts.com

These worthwhile opportunities come in the form of selling things via online auctions, freelance writing, and data entry work, affiliate marketing programs, getting paid to blog opportunities, optimizing message boards, and even filling out marketing surveys.  All of these opportunities are legitimate provided they come from legitimate sources. That is, if someone is advertising a job and is not soliciting anything, the odds are in your favor that this is a decent offer. If it seems shady, well, it probably is shady. Let’s take a look at a less than honest example….

There are a number of ways to make real money online provided you are working with a legitimate site and not a dubious one.  For example, and there are a number us data entry ad transcription jobs available online.  However, there are a number of scams which involve paying money to learn how to acquire data entry and transcription jobs. Any service requesting payment for obscure information on the subject of data entry or transcription should be avoided.  Instead, simply respond to online advertisements from legitimate companies looking to hire outsourced work. They do not charge fees and are often reliable.

Here is a little advice: if you in doubt about a company’s offer to make real money online simply perform a little research. Most scammers get exposed online rather quickly and those who are good companies are often lauded. So, never jump into anything without double checking and stick with good companies. This way, you will definitely make real money online.

At the core of both of these concepts is the idea that your customers will be loyal to you if you are honest with them and if you provide them with good, quality information.

The first thing you can do is start an article marketing campaign. Some marketing studies show that as many as eighty percent of people go online to search for information before making a purchase decision. Providing them with free information they can use to do their due diligence is an effective, cost-effective way to boost your marketing efforts.

Pick a topic you are familiar with and that your customers are interested in and start submitting articles to online directories today! An article marketing campaign will establish you as the go-to-person in your field and help get the word out about your business. Plus, once your articles are online, they stay there forever. This means that now and long into the future, your articles will be bringing new customers to your business.

Another great long term advertising method is direct response email marketing. This is a must for any business owner who wants to get new customers and build customer loyalty.

Offer great information in the form of a free e-course or a free report to those individuals who opt into your e-mail list. A great call to action and an autoresponder on your website will not only help build relationships with your existing customers but also build up a targeted list of clients that you can email for years to come. Prospects who sign up to your email list have already qualified themselves: they want to get to know you better and hear what you have to say.

Regardless of other methods you use, online and off, to promote your business, you’ll definitely want to include these long term advertising methods. Advertising for long term success and building customer loyalty is often as simple as providing your clients and prospects with quality information they need, when they need it.

There are several different tracking sites online that give you stats free or for a very minimal charge. Let’s look at some of them. Not all of them will be for you, but most of them are suitable for just about any project. Here’s the list:

1. Google Analytics

This is a very comprehensive tracking system and it’s getting more sophisticated all the time. Who’s surprised? It’s Google, after all. Getting it working is simple. You just grab the code and pop it into your HTML right above the closing body tag ().

2. Yahoo Analytics

Though this service is also free, it’s an adjunct of Yahoo Search Marketing, AKA Yahoo pay-per-click (PPC). It’s just as easy to set up, but Google really has the analytics market sewed up. Yahoo would have to come up with a more robust system that applies to all web pages and that’s not just tied to PPC advertising to compete.

3. Crazy Egg

This service isn’t as complete as Google’s, either. However it does have some cool features. Not only does it track where your visitors are clicking, but you can see in vibrant color exactly where they click and how many are clicking.

4. My Blog Log

Great site for tracking your blog and for being social. My Blog Log is easily installed in a WordPress blog via a widget, and it tracks visitors, where they came from, what they read, and what they clicked. And if you pay $3 a month or $25 a year, you get to see stats as they happen and many more than you do with a free account.

5. 103 Bees

It’s actually 10 “cubed” bees, but well… It’s a great site, no matter what you call it. Use it as a plugin for your WordPress blog and learn what keywords people searched, what long tail phrases they searched, what stop words were found (stop words are what make search engine spiders halt in their tracks), and if you have less than 100,000 visitors a month, it’s like $1.50. There is a free trial, though, and it’s a site worth checking out. 

Whether you have a squeeze page, a full website, or a blog, tracking is very important. If you’re not tracking things like visitors, optins for lead generation, or what people type into search engines to find you, these are things you really need to know. If you don’t know why, we have the solution. At the ListBuilding Club, marketers of any level can learn about everything from lead generation to testing and tracking and beyond.
