After working online for two years now, I have been able to come to some conclusions about how you can get started more quickly. Making money on the internet requires a plan of action and follow through. After being involved with internet marketing during a time of great change, I have divided it up into four main areas that you must focus on if you are to be successful. Writing is key in all of this, so it makes sense that two of the four areas are associated with writing. Reaching people from around the world and communicating your message to them in a way they can relate to you is also critical. The other two main areas involve social networking and verbal communication. This is how I have built my business, and how I teach my students to build their own business on the internet. Much has changed since 2006 and it is best to adapt to the changes so that you can profit from them most effectively. The first area of focus is article writing. This is how I began increasing my credibility and visibility on the internet. I write an article almost every day and currently have 780 published articles.

If you are willing to spend time writing and submitting short articles to the article directories, you will be able to build your business very quickly. There is an art to writing and submitting articles to maximize the benefits, but once you learn it t

he process is very similar with each article you write. Blogging is the other area of writing that will be very profitable for you. My blog is my home on the internet. You can repurpose your blog posts into articles, or the other way around. Give your readers good information they can put into action immediately. Also, make sure visitors to your blog can leave their name and email address in exchange for a free report, audio recording, or other free giveaway. Social networking and teleseminars are the remaining two key areas for online success. Sites such as Twitter and Facebook enable you to communicate with like-minded people from around the world. Join groups, start your own group, and get involved. I have never considered myself to be a social person, but online I am a social butterfly. This helps me to connect with other like-minded people from around the world. Teleseminars allow your voice to be heard around the world. People feel closer to you when they can hear your voice and ask you questions right then. Teleseminars give you this power. You can hold live calls or simply record your information and use it to create products. As long as people can relate to what you are saying, you will do well online.

Include all four key areas and your online business will take off as quickly as mine did. Leave out even one and you may end up struggling. Once you see how easily you can master each area your business online will flourish.
