Do You Know How To Start Your Own Online Business??

I have read that within the next 5 years, the number of online businesses will just explode! Due to the economy and job losses, people are turning to the web to earn income from their home.

If you decide to start your own online business, will you know what to do? When I look back at my own beginnings, I was pretty naive about the whole thing. You just can't believe everything you read--especially the stuff about overnight success and make millions within a week etc.

I started out with a Yahoo store--which is actually pretty nice. But, at that time, I knew nothing about Marketing or getting Traffic (customers) to your site, or Google ranking and all the other things.

I was pretty careful and didn't buy things that were "too good to be true" because you know what they say about that!

After trying some other things like eBay Stores (nothing wrong with those), I came upon an advertisement from Steve Clayton about their new step-by-step program that teaches you everything to run your own business (with very little money involved).  My "gut" told me that this was not some "slick" salesman out to earn a buck. Steve & Tim (his partner) genuinely wanted to teach their own money making formula so we "beginners" would know exactly what to do.

Niche Blueprint is a step-by-step program teaching you what to do each step of the way. They did this through video, audio and pdf files. They split the program into "modules" and each module had videos and several manuals. You work at your own pace (but you do have a timeline to go by). When you finish that module, you start the next. Throughout the program, there are Free tools (programs) to make a lot of things easier!


The key to this whole program is not to get you to buy more stuff. In fact, the emphasis is on making a successful online business with almost no money. There are things you can do and programs to purchase if you have the extra money, but Steve & Tim wants to show you that you can do the same things with hardly any money. And they were right!


I had to pay for Steve & Tim's Niche Blueprint course--you can't expect that to be Free! The only other thing I have to "pay" for is the monthly hosting charge and buying a domain.


Hostgator.com is recommended (and I agree) a great, inexpensive hosting company with great technical support. You have to have a host--that is where all your files are kept for your business. You can buy a domain name from GoDaddy.com and other places. That is the name of your business with the "dot com, dot org, dot info" etc.  My first online business was called BabysNursery-BeddingandMore.com. On average, you pay about $10 for a domain name (re-newed each year).

As of today, May 30, 2010, I have 27 money-making sites! They are all not online stores. I have also expanded into Affiliate Marketing and Adsense.

Don't expect this to be easy!  At first--before your business starts to grow, expect to put in 8 hours a day working on it. If you don't, it will just take you that much longer to start making money.

In my next blog post, I will go into more detail about Niche Blueprint 2 (updated version).

"I don't Know Anything About Starting My Own Online Business" Can Someone Help me?

Do you need help starting your own online business? Many people say you can have your site up and running in a couple hours–that is correct, but then what?? How do you get customers? Do you know what to do? There are many things that you need to commit to doing each week to promote your site, get customers and get onto “page 1″ of Google.
You need to choose relevant keywords, so when someone searches for Baby Bedding, they are taken to Baby Bedding sites and not Bedding & Comforters, Domestics, or other sites. How do you find these keywords??
You need to show Google that you have an authority site and that you are not some questionable site that may be spamming to get customers. What do you do to show Google that you are an authentic site??
What are Backlinks?? These are other authority sites (preferably relevant to your site) that will to link to your site. It’s sort of thinking like–if you are linked to a good site, then you must be a good site also.
Why do I have to write articles and submit them to sites such as Ezine Articles? What does this have to do with selling my stuff?
Do you have to get involved in Twitter, Facebook, My Space, Linkedin, Squidoo and others? Why??
This is just the “tip of the iceberg” as far as learning how to start your own business! Don’t get discouraged! I started my online business with absolutely NO knowledge of any of this. I did purchase the Niche Blueprint program and I found out everything and more. It was worth every single cent of money I paid for the program. There are other programs out there, but this is the only one that takes you step-by-step through EVERYTHING! There just isn’t anything else out there that even comes close. Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey are 2 of the most honest people I have ever come across with all this internet stuff. If you have any questions, they will answer you right back also! They go above and beyond by giving out several FREE Internet Tools such as: Keyword Blueprint, Link Blueprint, Article Blueprint, Dropship Blueprint and many others.
