Continued from page 1
If you keep producing free content over a long period of time it starts building up. Now, take all your free content and create an online directory. You can use your free content directory as a web site traffic generator. You can ask people to add directory to their web site by linking to yours. In conclusion, giving away content gives you three powerful ways to get free advertising. You can submit free content, allow other people to give away your free content, or have people link to your web site to give away free content. My advice is to take it one step at a time and this system will bring traffic to your web site over and over for years to come.

But whatever approach you decide to take, learn from others' mistakes. Don't re-invent wheel. If you try to, you are taking a big risk. Model your business after another that has already proven to be successful and yours likely will be too. Some keys of any successful product or service: 1.Go after a very specific "niche" market (I did this with most of my online businesses). Try to offer a specialty product or service that is generally unavailable through traditional retail channels. It is critical that target market be specifically identified and located online. 2.Go after general public - something everybody wants and try for high volume, not profit margin or specialty product angle. Example: An online CD store with a selection like no other and better pricing to boot. In my opinion, running two or three (or more) websites and targeting a niche for each one is easiest way to make money on net. Everyone is looking for "big buck" makers and often niche markets are ignored. This is how I have made most of my money online. I offered something in demand for a small market, and expected only to make $20-50,000 a year from it. But I soon learned that if I set everything up to be completely automated, I could run three or four (or even more) businesses this size in only a few hours a day. By combining several small incomes like that, it is easy to earn in excess of $200,000 a year, all for investing about an hour a day (per business) now that everything is mostly fully automated. If you really want to "retire" after you set up your businesses, hire a manager to work a few hours a day to take care of daily chores that need to be completed. This is how I started. I ran everything myself at first, then got so busy I had to hire someone part-time, then in less than 1 year, had to hire 3 more people full-time just to handle daily operations of 2.4 million dollars in business I do between my four online businesses. So when you grow a little, hire an employee to run your daily operations. I know many homemakers with kids who would be thrilled at opportunity to bring home fifteen grand a year... and often have lots of free time between 10am and 3pm when their kids are in school. Your help could be doing all routine chores and you could be traveling around world or just sitting on your patio knowing you're making $500 to $1,000 a day doing absolutely nothing. This is not a "pipe-dream"... with today's technology you really can do it (heck, I do! -- although I have to admit, I love to work, so I work a lot). I hope this helps in your future marketing decisions.
