The Mistake that Newbies Make When First Getting started

The web is increasing exponentially each second of each day. Because of that, there is a an tendency for individuals to go after big keywords like, business opportunity, make money or starting a home based business. They go after large keywords believing that it might not be that difficult, only to discover in 3 to 6 months, that its really difficult to get ranked on page 1.

Hint: The smaller and more focused the niche markets, the better your possibilities for success.

If the above describes you in terms of your strategy and not making money, then stop and take a step back. The reality is, you don’t stand a chance when first starting out to compete next to skilled internet marketers for any big keywords. It takes a great deal of time, perseverance, and its a steep learning curve to master the art and science of getting top positions on Google. It is advisable to focus your time on the right niche markets because there’s tons of low lying fruit (terms) that can make you cash more quickly when first starting out on the internet. Why in the world would you try and compete along with other internet marketers that understand what they’re doing and are well-established on page 1 for several years?

Keyword Selection Methods

You only need to enter the keyword term at Google’s free keyword tool to display your results. Just to illustrate, do not type in home based business and think that’s the search term to concentrate on. No, you should always evaluate all the long tail phrases on the list because those are the terms to concentrate on. Usually, there will be, dozens of keywords like how to start a business opportunity. Now once you get your results, you want to pay notice to a few things. You will get a list of results primarily in concert with numerous long tail keywords, in addition to your primary one that you entered. Additionally, you will see to your right of the key words, things like advertiser competition, monthly and international search results. You need to know this is just an estimation and that’s where most individuals get stumped.

Look for monthly results below 5000. Why would you do that? Because there is money to be made, because the competition is much lower. Why struggle for years making an attempt to obtain the big key terms, when there is thousands of smaller keywords to pick from. Here’s some examples of lower competitive keywords to give you an example: best mlm business, best business opportunity, mlm business opportunity, and online business opportunities are less competitive. You know, I am even researching monthly results of less than 1500 because I can more often than not, attain page 1 within a short period of time and earn money sooner.

To get hold of the comprehensive results of what you’re actually interested in once selecting your keywords and phrases, is to ensure you click on the drop down menu choice and click on “select column to display” is the “show estimated average CPC”. That can give you an approximation on the number of money advertisers are having to pay. Now remember its sometimes much lower, so if you see a keyword paying $10, you may only likely see 10 or 20 percent of that in actual dollars or less.

Google’s CPC Outlined

Per Google, “Estimated Average Cost-per-click (CPC) – The system predicts the typical value each time a user clicks your ad on the related keyword. The cost is specific to the position shown in the Estimated Ad Position column”.

Therefore, what’s the lowest CPC you ought to go for?

That’s an individual choice. it ought to be above $1 for CPC. Many other’s would advise go after ones that show a $3 to $5 range. The bottom line is you have to check this out and nothing else can in reality offer you the essential advice you need to make decisions.

So, when researching your alternatives of keywords, consider the competition you’re going up against, your degree of search engine marketing experience, the estimated CPC, and the monthly global search results.

There are countless individuals, who want to pick the highest paying keyword, thinking they will simply get top position with very little effort. Wrong! Start with lower competitive terms, rank that on page 1 of Google. Afterward, just simply rinse and repeat the process. Begin towards the bottom and work your way up the keyword list.

Here’s the analogy for ranking for less competitive terms. What happens over time, you’ll begin getting that website to be an authority site because you are ranking for a bunch of smaller terms on page 1.

In summary, select a niche market that you are interested in pursuing. Then go to Google’s free keyword selector tool, type your phrase in and check out the results. Look down the list and examine it to determine how much CPC is for each phrase. Pick your key phrase and create some quality content around it. Just remember to pick something that has lower competition, like best mlm business or best business opportunity vs trying to go after the main keyword of mlm. Then submit your information at article directories, your own web site and continue repeating that method until you rank on top of page 1 of Google.

The internet is a vast and mainly untouched resource for online business opportunities. Although there are several scams, most are online businesses are not scams but are in fact just people like you, who have joined some opportunity and then have a fake it til they make it mentality.

The online business opportunities in the home based business sector of the internet can be confusing with most of the advertising programs out there trying to get you to change your program into some get rich program, just a little doubt is all these websites need in order to get a response. You will soon learn that most of these online business opportunities lack is attention on GOOGLE, a real system, and more importantly, customers in the end. They are usually made up of people trying some get rich program for a month or two, then when the buckets of cash do not fall on their heads, they will change to another program or give up all together. I know I flopped more than a few times until I found that purchasing customers instead of leads made a better business model.

A legitimate home based business should be mostly made up of customers, you should never have to purchase leads, you will learn that buying leads is just throwing away your money, as the vast majority of these business opportunity leads are made up of someone that just wanted some free give and really had no desire to start any kind of online business opportunity.

If you have your own work from home business opportunity and are looking at keyword research for your SEO (search engine optimization) to obtain business opportunity leads, you might just want to look at Googles’ keyword research tool!

Wordtracker is currently the one used by most people but you have to purchase it. Here is a little bit of a comparison!

If I remember right, I once looked at trying Googles’ tool for keyword comparisons but it would only show a bar graph. If you get in and look at it now, it still has a graph but it will also give you numbers for the previous month and average of the last twelve months. It gives you a list of the most relevant keyword phrases as well. That is all I care about! Obviously, results that are drawn from the Google search engine contain much higher numbers than other keyword research tools but Google also has almost 90% of all search engine advertising!

Wordtracker from what I understand, scrapes the data from people using Dogpile and Metacrawler. Not
many people in comparison are using these two search engines!

If you make side by side comparisons between the two, again statistics vary greatly. Google will show more robust numbers in the results. This would make sense just because of the vastly different numbers each one is scraping their results from. Again, Google “owns” the search engine advertising out there on the internet. The numbers they produce “will” be much higher. I am guessing the results would be much more accurate as well.

If you are indeed wanting to target specific work at home business opportunity leads, I believe going with the monster who owns the internet right now would be the way to go! I believe they probably have the more accurate tool!

Do a search on the internet for Google keyword tool to find the page. If you want it easier than that, copy and paste the following link…

SEO is the way to go to drive business opportunity leads to your site!

There are several directories that will accept your article and place them on their sites.

One really great benefit of writing articles is that webmasters will want to  grab the article and put in on their site to generate some site content, which is ok as long as the webmaster leaves the resource box intact which will give a link back to the article directory and will also give you, the writer links back to your business opportunity or websites.

There are several ways to write great articles, one way the web surfers really go for is top lists, like “10 reasons your business opportunity is failing” or “5 great ways to promote your business opportunity“. These are just some examples and the different titles and articles are unlimited.

You should be keyword specific in your articles to what your business opportunity is about. ie your product or service and how it can help the reader to better themselves in their endevour.

Press Releases are a great way of advertising your business opportunity, however the press release should not be written like an ad. The press release should be written in the third person. If you find it hard to start, get someone to interview you about your business opportunity and this may make it easier for you.

There are several places to submit your press release, simply do a google search and you will find several free and paid sites for you to submit your press release.

The first benefit of the press release is to get traffic to your business opportunity site. There will be people that will read your press release and be interested in what you are doing, if it is written well.

The second benefit is that you get to link to your business opportunity website, which the search engines will see and give you some links pointing to your website.

The third benefit, although this will not necessarily happen, is that it is possible that someone in the media, be it tv or print may pick up your press release and find it of interest, and help you with your business by distributing it through syndication.

The response to your offer will depend on what the offer is about. It is a numbers game, no doubt, because everyone in the traffic exchange is there for the same reason. to sell you an opportunity of product. what happens most of the time is you will spend your time surfing and when all is said and done, you will have almost no signups to your program. It is not necessarily that your program is not any good. It is just the the traffic generated is not targeted for your particular business or product. again it is a numbers game. the more hits you get to your website means the more purchases or signups you get for your product or business opportunity.

The Question is not whether or not to use a traffic exchange, but how to get the amount of traffic needed to view your site before you get an action.

There are 3 ways to get hits to your account at a traffic exchange.

1. Buy Hits
2. Generate Traffic Yourself by surfing the traffic exchange
3. Get referrals, you get a portion of the traffic generated by your referrals

I will not really cover the aspects of purchasing hits since I do not ever actually purchase any hit myself, because it is too easy to get hit using the other two methods.

Generating Hits can be multiplied by surfing traffic exchanges in multiple tabs as Show in this blog post.

Getting Referrals is easier when you use a downline builder such as the one we use here at businessopportunitycoop.
