Know Your Niche up in the top 20 (first 2 pages), it doesn’t exist.A niche can be either an industry or profession that you target or a specialized service that you offer. There is no magic answer to finding a niche however when thinking about what niche you want to target or create think about:Your previous experience - is there a field you worked in that you really enjoyed? Your skills - what are you really good at or what tasks do you enjoy doing the most? Your connections – do you have connections in a specific industry or profession that would support you in growing your business? Your dreams - is there something you’ve always been interested in and wanted to do or explor It may be easy to fall into the trap of paying for SEO, but I think it is something you can (and should) do yourself.

The most important thing to do to “please google” is to get as many lin Public Relations and Goodwill Although this article is geared towards a T-shirt site, it can be very helpful for anyone looking to create a successful website.One highly effective type of advertising costs virtually nothing: public relations. With public relations, the newsworthiness of some aspect of your business or business activities can earn you free publicity in newspapers or magazines, or even on radio or television. However, it must truly be newsworthy. You might publicize, for example, a lecture, a demonstration or a workshop being presented at your business site - an event that news outlets could list in their community calendars or possibly even send a reporter to cover. Find out who at a station or publication handles such local even In order of importance, here are the 5 best practices for creating a successful website. #1 Your website MUST be people friendly! This means it is easy to navigated, loads fast, is usable in all browsers, and is professional. I just read an article on CNN.com which determined that on average, people take less than 1/2 of a second to judge the appearance of a website. This means, your customer must know exactly what you’re selling and how to buy it in less than 10 seconds. Also the basic layout, i.e. color scheme, pictures, etc. all must be up to par. Although this particular practice does not get people to your website, it cannot be overlooked or people will never come back to it. One more quick point. From a usability perspective, I personally think it’s a good idea to put all of your t-shirt designs (or other products) on the main page. The rule of thumb is to create as few clicks between the customer and the sale. If you can eliminate a click, do it! #2 Make your site search engine friendly. By this, I mean SEO. If you don’t know what SEO is, you need to. SEO is short for search engine optimization, or in English: Figuring out how to word your site (and coding) so that search engines will not only find your site, but for specific words that you want them to find you for. It’s also about being high in the search engines. Let’s face it, if you’re site doesn’t show up in the top 20 (first 2 pages), it doesn’t exist. It may be easy to fall into the trap of paying for SEO, but I think it is something you can (and should) do yourself.

PPC keyword research is probably the most critical keyword research that you can do as an Internet Marketer. That's because, unlike optimizing a web page to rank well on the natural search engine results, with PPC keyword research (Pay-Per-Click), you will be paying for the results that those keywords generate. When you are looking for keywords to use in a PPC campaign like Google Adwords where you will be paying for each and every click on your ads and so it is absolutely essential that you find the "right" keywords to use and so PPC keyword research becomes extremely important in relation to your overall profitability.nnot be overlooked or people will never come back to it.

Here is the classic—and tragically wrong—way they usually learn to do it: Uncover the first need. Begin a product presentation, covering features and benefits, and then attempt to uncover another need and then give more product talk, etc.Research shows that presentations like this are 25 percent less effective than those in which a thorough needs assessment is followed by a summary of all of the customer’s needs. You will be far more successful if you begin by uncovering and agreeing on at least three relevant needs that the customer perceives If you don’t know what SEO is, you need to.

You can watch someone in a meeting who is “somewhere else,” and they have a far-away, glassy look to the eye. You know they are not hearing a word of what is being said. They may be with you physically, but their minds are somewhere else, thinking about some meeting, worrying about that errand, or trying to figure out what someone meant by a passing comment.Contrast that with a time you were so immersed in an activity that time just stood still? Your stomach suddenly growls, and you look up at the clock to discover you worked right over your lunch hour a It may be easy to fall into the trap of paying for SEO, but I think it is something you can (and should) do yourself. This way you will have full contral and understanding of what’s happening on your site. You can’t trust anyone in the SEO business anyway. The most important thing to do to “please google” is to get as many link exchanges as you can, with people who come up when you search on yahoo, google, msn, for whatever you are selling. This is viewed as most important to them. Links from your site to others do not help you. Only links TO YOUR SITE help you. The more you have, the better the chances your PR (pagerank) goes up. Next, you want to determine what your keywords are, i.e. what people will type in to find what you are selling. Some keywords or keyphrases are more competitive than others. Take your time to choose the right ones. Don’t pick too competitive ones, but also don’t pick ones with no hits. I recommend only concentrating on 3 keywords or keyphrases. Next you want to update your site to include text and alt descriptions that say your keywords. If there are no alt tags on images the search engines have no idea what the images are. So make those your keywords too! It’s all about enriching your site with your keywords. #3 You must accept all payment types. The worst thing in the world would be for your site to look beautiful, attract good customers, and then not be able to process Visa or Mastercard. Make sure you can accept as many, if not all payment methods. Visa, Mastercard, Amer. Ex., Discover, PayPal, etc. Again, this seems like common sense, but it is overlooked way more than you would think. #4 Have ALL potential questions answered by your website text since you can't be there to answer the customer's question. All of these should be answered: How much are the shirts? What brand of T-shirt do yo
