What is Internet marketing business? There is no secret, more and more smart entrepreneurs like yourself are inquiring and looking into opening an internet marketing business. But what is internet marketing business and how does it work? In this article I will address this question with the intention to provide you with more information so that you have the necessary tools to make an informed decision.
Have you ever sat down and thought about how regular folks like you and I make thousands and in a lot of cases make millions of dollars on the internet? There is no secret, let me explain.
Before I do, let's look how a traditional business works. Assume you decide to open a small restaurant in your city. Before you open you will need to find a location, you will then need to create a menu, buy supplies and inventory, hire employees, pay for a build out of your space, buy equipment etc. Once you are ready to open, you are now ready for business. But how do you get new customers? You must advertise, correct? You then invest couple of thousand dollars in some local print magazines, perhaps send out some direct mail pieces to create awareness and buzz. Then it's just sit and wait for customers to start coming to your store.
An internet business is no different, BUT with a lot less overhead that you would normally have with a traditional business because you can run your business from anywhere as long as you have a phone and internet connection and ALSO you are not limited to a specific city or region because the internet is global and you can sell world wide.
With the creation of the internet and the coming of the information age, the population has flocked to the internet to acquire anything they want and need. Whether it be information or purchase products and services. With this said an internet marketing business main objective is to drive traffic to a specific website that offers a specific product or service.
Imagine you are marketing financial education products. Someone types in "financial education" into a search query in google, yahoo or bing and when they do, if you did your marketing right, you will be one of the first results that search engine recommend to visit. Customer visits your site and purchases a product because they found what they were looking for.
That in a nutshell is an internet marketing business, you have a product or service in a website (your store) and through different marketing strategies which I'll discuss in a different article you learn how to direct traffic and customers that are already looking for a specific product or service to walk through your store (visit your website) and purchase from you. Is that simple.
