What do you search for when looking for something online?

When choosing a domain name or keywords to include on your website, you need to consider what someone searching for what you have to offer would type into search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc.

For example, if you’re selling an ebook on how to train a dog, then it is likely someone would be searching for a term such as, “how to train my dog to come when called” or “how to stop my dog chewing my shoes”.

Using keywords such as “dog products” in comparison, probably would not do you any good because if you were searching for tips on how to train your dog, would you really type in “dog products”?

The bottom line is to put yourself in the shoes of your potential customers and think about what they would be looking for, and optimise your site accordingly.

Students in my Coaching Program are taken through the process of setting up their website in a way that is search engine friendly and one of my newest clients recently made a sale from her brand new website in only 10 days because I teach my clients how to get found quickly!

In fact, I ignored one of my website for months last year, but because I had it set up a particular way, people were still finding my website through various sources, including the search engines!

On another occasion, I posted an article about a friend of mine who is a very successful internet marketer. When I searched in Google using his name as my search term, my website ranked above his! I was very impressed with that accomplishment!!

“I made money from my website in only 10 days!

I was absolutely thrilled when I received the following feedback from one of my newest clients!

"Michelle, your book with all the instructions is so brilliantly simple and easy to follow. You are a wonderful source of knowledge and whenever I’ve needed any extra help you have always replied so quickly. Thanks. Best of all, it works! I made money from my website after only 10 days!!!"

All it takes is action

This morning I woke up to a wonderful email from one of my newest clients.

She was writing to let me know that after only 10 days, she had made the first sale from her website after completing my program and was rather excited about it because it proved to her that the whole system works.

She also commented on how simple and easy to follow my workbook was to follow and thanked me for getting her to this point.

If this person had not taken action and followed the steps outlined in the program, then I doubt she would be as excited as she is today, experiencing a positive result in such a short time.

I guarantee success in 30 days, and she did it in 10 (which beats my record of 11!), which is fantastic!

Are you an expert in your niche?

Having “expert status” on a chosen niche gives you credibility and can present many opportunities that weren’t there before you became an expert!

I have been approached by several companies and business coaches to offer my expertise in the field of internet marketing and building websites and at first I was really surprised by this attention.

I often wondered why or how they could consider me an expert??

When I really thought about it, I realised that I know a LOT more on the subject than almost everyone I know (other than my mentors of course!)! Wow! So compared to them, I really am an expert! Internet marketing isn’t all that difficult, and neither is building a website, but before I learned how to do it, I turned to experts to find out how!

Being an “expert” on a subject is definitely a great way to get noticed, and to do that you first must have a fair bit of knowledge on that subject (obviously!).

Once you have the knowledge, then how do you actually get recognised as an expert?

Below is a list of some of the things I have done to get to where I am:

1. I’ve done a LOT of research - I have completed internet marketing courses run by the best in the business, I observe and note what others are doing. I try out different things and see what works and what doesn’t.
2. I write articles on the subject. I give tips and strategies in my articles, based on what I have learned from those I consider to be “real experts”.
3. I am a member of several groups and forums related to my niche and I post comments regularly, usually helping others with their problems or posting questions to help me improve my own skills and knowledge.
4. I have specific qualifications that give me even more credibility in one of my chosen niches - this has presented a lot of opportunities for me. For example, if you started a website on fitness or weight loss, wouldn’t it look extra good if you were a qualified personal trainer or dietician??
5. I tell everyone what I do! You would be surprised how many people know less than you do, which automatically makes you an “expert” compared to them!

Ok, so what are you waiting for? Now is the time to get started and get your name out there!

How do I choose an internet marketing niche?

Choosing an internet marketing niche was at first the hardest thing for me to figure out.

Well it was, until I realised that in most cases, going with what you feel passionate about would do the trick.

Now, it isn’t quite as simple as that, because sometimes after doing some research and finding that there are no products being sold out there that match your passion, you may have to tweak it a bit.

Most areas have various aspects to it, so for example I am a life coach, and I could have gone straight into life coaching as my niche, but I found that this wouldn’t work for me - it was too broad.

Instead I focused on Self Confidence and found that this worked very well for me. Helping people to build their confidence (in any area) is a passion of mine, so this worked perfectly!

What is your passion? Are there products out there related to your passion or will you have to tweak things a bit?

How to find out who is publishing your articles

It is actually quite easy to find out who is publishing your articles and this is a great way to work out if what you’re writing is being well-received.

So here’s what you do:

1.  Write your article and submit it to an article directory such as Ezine Articles.

2.  Go to http://www.google.com/alerts set up alerts, entering the titles of each of your articles in the Search Terms box.

3.  I leave the other settings as they are, and have them delivered to my email address on a daily basis.

4.  When I receive my daily Google Alerts updates, I check out whether it’s my article that was found, where it was posted and of course whether the publisher of the article kept everything intact.

This just gives a good idea of who is publishing your articles to help you determine what works and what doesn’t!
