Getting Started In Internet MarketingInternet Marketing Training These services get you in the good then upsell you on web optimization, SEO, etc., and eventually suck you in for thousands of dollars. It’s a sham. www.InternetMarketingScout.com

Two Important Lessons Will Come From This: You’ll never again be dependent upon someone else to help you with your site. You’ll know how time consuming these tasks are, you’ll know how long it will take someone else to do it and how much you can expect to pay them to do this work for you thus forever preventing someone from ripping you off for tasks that may only take 30 minutes to do but someone will charge you hundreds of dollars…. www.InternetMarketingScout.com

Choosing Your Domain Branded Domain Or Niche Specific/Keyword Focused Domain www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Branded Domain Examples www.Zazzle.com www.Ebay.com www.InternetMarketingScout.com www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Branded Domain Benefits You Build Your Own Brand Gain Credibility In Your Niche Become The Go To Person/Expert In Your Niche www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Branded Domain Disadvantage Harder To Build Credibility Could Take Longer To Get Followers No One Is Looking For You www.InternetMarketingScout.com

Niche Specific / Keyword Focused Domain Advantages SEO Benefits of Having Keyword/Niche In Your URL People May Already Be Looking For You Focused On One Pain The Visitors May Have www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Niche Specific / Keyword Focused Domain Disadvantages Could Limit Growth Of Site Not Branded + Limited To Possibly One Niche/Pain Could Get Slapped By Google At Any Time www.InternetMarketingScout.com
How Do You Decide? There is no right or wrong way to do this. It all depends on what you want to do. I’ve done both but I’ve settled on having one specific URL “home base” to disseminate all my info from www.InternetMarketingScout.com
How Do You Decide? However, I would advise you to enter into a niche that you are passionate about. Otherwise, you’ll get burned out and it will become a J.O.B. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Where I Should Start? Research What Others Are Doing In Your Niche Do Some Keyword Research (Fiverr.com or Google) – don’t get bogged down trying to do your own keyword research if you are new. Go to fiverr.com Or just go with building your brand – But try to put part of your niche keywords in your URL to get some SEO benefits www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Buying Your Domain There are several companies you can buy your domains from. Here is what I suggest… Go with a company that is all encompassing. Meaning, a company that you can buy your domain & hosting from. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Buying Your Domain I use GoDaddy exclusively and I’ll tell you more about why I have stuck with GoDaddy in the next video. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Why Do I Recommend This? If you buy your domain (URL) from one service then your hosting from another then you are going to have to configure your name servers and this is going to be very difficult for you to do since you are new. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Why Do I Recommend This? Believe me when I tell you this, stick with one company until you become more experienced. Right now the important thing is that you keep making progress and can start seeing results rather than getting bogged down in tech B.S. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Before Buying Anything Search For A Coupon Online You can save some money when you buy your domain and hosting simply by searching for a coupon online. If you choose GoDaddy then search online for “GoDaddy Coupon”. If you want to use my affiliate link you can: http://www.InternetMarketingScout.com/my/domaindiscount Using my affiliate link is a nice way of saying “Thank You” to me for putting together this video for you. www.InternetMarketingScout.com

Bonus-Video – Drilling Down A Niche Be sure when selecting a niche to enter that there are enough products or services to support your efforts. What do I mean by this? Either you can create enough products or there are enough products or services that you can market to your list. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Bonus-Video – Drilling Down A Niche For example, choosing something that is season is fine but that isn’t likely to make you full time money throughout the year. Christmas blogs, Valentines Days Blogs, Halloween, etc. These are very season. I’m not saying never enter into those niches but you don’t want to base your business off of season types of niches. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Bonus-Video – Drilling Down A Niche Choosing something that will have a year around marketplace & also have world-wide appeal would be best. I made this mistake. I created a real estate product that was focused on Government Owned Homes. Well, other countries don’t have this type of program. So, I immediately limited my market because of this. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Bonus-Video – Drilling Down A Niche Think broad and wide. A good way to find a niche is to do this: I fire up Google and I type in something like..."how to cure *" The * is a wildcard and that will be replaced by search terms people are actively looking for. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
"how to get *” "how to lose *""how to become *” "how to reduce *""how to improve *” "how to remove *""how to jump *” "how to cure *""how to get rid of *” "how to prevent *""how to avoid *” "how to stop *""how to overcome *” "how to master *""how to increase *” "how to not *""how to make *” "how to quit *""how to start *” "how to learn *""where to buy *” "where to buy * online""where to buy * for christmas" www.InternetMarketingScout.com

How To Choose HostingFor Your Website You need a place to “put/host your domain” and there are service providers that will host your site for you. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
How To Choose HostingFor Your Website Here are some of the leaders in the industry: GoDaddy Liquid Web Blue Host Host Gator www.InternetMarketingScout.com
How Do You Choose? I make all of my internet marketing choices based on the level of customer service I receive from a company. You may be on a tight budget and I understand that. However, if you are new then you are better served by a company that offers good phone support to answer all your questions. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Who I Use Exclusively I Use GoDaddy Exclusively & Here Is Why Excellent Support I can get them on the phone 24/7/365 They are very newbie friendly They will help you with just about anything you need. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Who I Use Exclusively Again, you can look for a coupon online When you are ready to purchase your hosting you will likely also be ready to buy your domain. My link below will give you 50% off hosting. http://www.InternetMarketingScout.com/my/godaddyhosting www.InternetMarketingScout.com
One More Thing… If you are currently one of my subscribers and you happen to choose GoDaddy then I too can help you when you are having problems. If you have an issue then I’ve probably experienced it. If you choose another web hosting company then I won’t be able to do much to help you. http://www.InternetMarketingScout.com/my/godaddyhosting www.InternetMarketingScout.com

Deciding On A Wordpress Theme There Are Free WP Themes & Paid I recommend choosing one theme from one provider and sticking with that theme. Why? www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Deciding On A Wordpress Theme Each WP Theme has different features within the dashboard. Getting accustomed to one theme and learning it very well will save you a lot of time. Switching from one theme to another will only frustrate you and you’ll get bogged down in tech hell! www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Free WP Themes WP comes with the Ten Ten Theme and that is a very nice user friendly theme to start out with. Wplook is also a good free theme..Lets see it now.. Remember, it isn’t how fancy your theme is it is how easy it is for your visitors to navigate and the quality of content on your site. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Paid Themes There are a variety of paid WP themes. I use a combination of two or three because over the years I have learned how to use them and set up pages and posts quickly. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Paid Themes Here are some places you can start. Woo Themes Elegant Themes Optimize Press United Themes (my Internet Marketing Scout Site) www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Paid Theme-Optimize Press Optimize Press Is The Go To Theme For Internet Marketers If you have been in internet marketing for any length of time then you likely have seen Optimize Press. It has tons of flexibility but is difficult to navigate when you are just getting started. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Optimize Press If you want to get a copy of one of the most versatile WP Themes on the market then Optimize Press is the way to go. I do want to caution you, there is a learning curve but, once you get used to it, there is no better theme. http://www.InternetMarketingScout.com/my/optimizepress www.InternetMarketingScout.com
Wordpress Set Up Tutorials Once you have your domain, hosting and have chosen a theme then you are going to need to know how to set up WP and navigate the WP dashboard. www.InternetMarketingScout.com
