Have you ever heard the old saying, "Choose your fight"?

What that means is that you should choose a fight that you at least have a chance of winning. When you first are starting out in the Internet marketing scene, it is better to choose a niche to fight in that you have a good chance of winning rather than one that you are going to be squashed like a bug.

For example: If you are thinking about fighting in the Internet marketing informational product scene, you are going to have some real heavy weights as competition... men and women who have years of experience that you can't hope to compete with.

However, if you narrow your fighting arena down to an info product on Adwords or Adsense you won't have nearly as much competition and you will have a much better chance for success.

Another example of choosing your fight is that if you are going to compete in the self-help field, you will be facing a lot of heavy hitters. You can narrow your "fight" down to one area like 'anger management' and have a lot better chance for not only succeeding but being able to dominate in that narrow market.

No matter what niche market you are considering fighting in, you can narrow your fighting arena down to something much smaller than the whole niche and improve your chances of gaining credibility in that narrow market and, thus, gaining success.

One real life example of narrowing a niche down to a more narrow market and succeeding is that of Red Bull. Coke and Pepsi dominate the soft drink scene but the energy drink market didn't have much of anything when Red Bull first launched its product.... and it succeeded.

Okay, now that you have your free membership website up and running and you have promoted it sufficiently so that you have a very long and impressive list, you are ready to start reaping the benefits and profiting from your hard work.

Your list should include the names and email addresses of those people who are vitally interested in a specific topic and the products and services that are associated with that topic. Remember that you want to promote ONLY products and services that are related to the topic of your free membership website.

If you have set up a blog or a forum on your free membership website (hopefully you DID), it will be a very simple matter to locate products, services and information that your members will be most likely to buy...they will have told you what they are interested in and you can start promoting to them.

They have not only told you what products and services they would be most apt to buy but they have also told you what kind of information they want. Let's face it...there really are only three basic things that can be sold on the Internet or out in the real brick and mortar world...products, services and information.

That impressively long opt-in list that you have built with your free membership website is an asset that can't be valued... it is invaluable. That long list will open doors that have been shut up until now. So let's start with joint venture projects that you will now be a welcome partner in.

Selecting the right provider for consolidating and creating an effective coregistration leads list is essential for building an effective marketing campaign.

Your leads list has enormous potential for ongoing profit-making, and the most valuable service providers can offer a host of options for tracking, maintaining, and developing the pipeline.

You'll need to select a list service provider and also consider your options for a list building service program. Both of these can work together to provide you with ongoing, fresh leads.

The list service provider can offer pre-made newsletters, ezines, eBooks, or other items that you want to deliver to your customers. The list building service will simply provide you with valuable e-mail names and contacts to populate your database.

Co-registration leads list providers offer varying amounts of maximum and minimum amounts on the orders that you have available. The order you place will largely develop on the price per type of lead, and this will also vary depending on whether the lead is a single opt-in, an opt-out, or a double opt-in email lead. Knowing what you are planning on working with in your marketing campaign will help you determine which package is best for you.

Create a membership site like the ones above; charge $99 a month for what ever you want to sell. Give affiliates $50 per month for each sale and voila, you have a run away hit on your hands.

Be out there, go above and beyond. Offer 1000 articles a month for $99 a month. So what if you make $49 a month. Get 1000 members and that's $49,000 a month. Niche logy did it. In fact they are turning people away. Go crazy. Don't be the same as everyone else.

Also while I'm on the topic of contacting people in the business, if you want to start earning big bucks and you think your writing is the real deal, start getting guru work.

Gurus in any market have a reputation to uphold, so the work they buy is the best out there and they are willing to pay through the noise for it.

So who writes for these gurus’s? Other guru's of course. You've heard of hired goons, now you have heard of hired guru's. If you are a guru in a particular field, other top name marketers who want to get into that field and want to look like guru's themselves will hire you to write for them.

This is true guru marketing at its best. Getting guru's to fork out their money to pay you instead of the other way around.

PPC (Pay Per Click) advertisements are probably one of the better-known ways to advertise a website or a product. These advertisements are the ones that people see as results when they do a search using a search engine.

The name pretty much tells you how you are charged for these advertisements. You are charged each time someone clicks on your advertisement and visits your website.

There are a lot of different search engines on the Internet and all of them have PPC advertising available. Prices do vary somewhat. Google and Yahoo Search are the two biggest players.

Google is the best known and most used search engine on the Internet so that is the one that we will be using here as an example, however, all of the search engines are effective and none should be completely disregarded. Google's PPC program is called 'AdWords'.

It would be nice if we all had been born rich instead of so darn good looking, right? You could simply hire a professional to plan your PPC advertising campaign for you. Unfortunately, most of us are probably going to have to do this for ourselves… at least in the beginning.

The most important words in your Adwords advertisements are the keywords that relate to the topic of your website and to the products that you sell. You can find millions of words that have been written on the subject of key words.

The fact is this: keywords are the words that most people type into the search box of a search engine when they are looking for products, services or information.

They are really based on just plain old-fashioned common sense. There are variations of keywords, of course, and there are common misspellings of words that also constitute 'keywords'. But, if, for example, you are selling fish baits...then 'fish bait' is your main key word.

Variations of those words are keywords as well, such as bait for fish, deep sea fish bait, fresh water fish bait, fish 'bate'... and a good point to remember is that misspelled words are also keywords.

"Put your money where your mouth is" is an old saying that is used to challenge a person to bet on himself and on what he believes he thinks he can accomplish. A great idea has no more value than a wisp of smoke until it is backed up with an investment of hard work and money and brought to fruition.

Until you have invested your own time, effort, energy and, yes, money into your idea, it's a pretty good bet that nobody else is going to invest anything in it either.

Maybe you have an idea for a product or service that you are certain will sell like crazy in a certain niche on the Internet…and maybe you do. However, in order to ever get that product or service sold you are going to have to invest in yourself and your idea.

You will need to do the required research to determine if the idea is feasible and if there is, in fact, a market for the product or service you want to sell. You may need to purchase software or info-products to help you get your product or service into being. Creating a product or service can take a huge investment of time, effort and energy, as well.

When you approach an established Internet Marketer with your idea and a joint venture plan, he will first look to see how much you have invested in its creation.

If you don't believe it yourself and your product or service, he won't either. He will look to see how much of your own time, effort, energy and money you have invested before he decides how much of his own he is willing to invest.

Invest in yourself so others will be willing to invest in you, too!

Although I tried many times, I was an unsuccessful clickbank junky who promoted everything from Forex Enterprise and Ultimate Wealth Package, to the Rich Jerk and Honest Riches.

While these products are ranked high in the clickbank marketplace and convert extremely well I was unable to turn a profit. I didn't understand the market well enough to get targeted traffic to my affiliate link.

At the time I was using the long term strategy of organic search and looking for short term results which is impossible unless there is little or no competition for your keyphrases.

In hindsight it was obvious that this would not work either long term nor short term because the website was only going to attract traffic that consisted of a small percentage of opportunity seekers.

Not only was I trying to convert someone interested in selling vitamins to buy my downloadable work from home opportunity, I was also attracting visitors who wanted to buy vitamins.

This resulted in traffic not very targeted to my offers. Try making a car salesman out of someone trying to buy a boat. It doesn't work.

It was an overactive style website that consisted of Google Adsense ads, affiliate opportunities, and a free report that you had to jump through hoops to opt in for.

To this day the subscribers on that particular list are very unresponsive and each mailing I send out still results in an unusually high unsubscribe rate and spam complaints. Yet the SEO efforts were very successful as I rank very high for the keyphrases I targeted. As a result I continue to have many opt ins and each mailing to this particular list still nets around $300 in profit.

An affiliate website must be very specific in its purpose. If you are seeking subscribers it must be very clear what they are signing up to receive. If you are trying to promote an affiliate product directly from the site each bit of information you provide should steer your visitor closer to visiting the actual product website.
