A newcomer to Internet Marketing is looking for a way to sell something online. So is everybody else. Despite what the \"My Easy Way\" scam artists say, if you want to be an information entrepenuer, there are 5 Basic Skills you must have, just for starters.rnrnStill,they have visions of it being lucrative and, even easy.rnrnWell, it is easy, if you know what you are doing.rnrnHere\'s a typical question from newcomers and it goes like this...\"What\'s the best way for me to make money online.\"rnrnYou see, there are actually many ways to make money online and that is a bit of a problem.rnrnMy answer is \"The best way for you is the way you\'ll stick with.\"rnrnAn awful lot of newcomers do that thing where they bounce around trying to land on the right thing.rnrnAfter I did that for a month or so I knew I had to get some skills and terminology learned about Internet Marketing.rnrnSo I joined on of those Online Internet Marketing schools and dug in for a while. It really helped. I finally handled the whole \"terminology\" thing.rnrnYes, I learned a LOT of tech stuff about the mechanics of website creation, blogs, article marketing, including autoresponders, HTML, FTP, Hosting, Domains, SEO, Adwords, keywords?it just goes on and on.rnrnI spent over a year examining Internet Marketing from every angle I could find. I found a lot of angles. But I wasn\'t making any money!rnrnThen I had this idea. Provide solutions. Answers to vexing problems.rnrnIn all the 35 years I\'ve been in business the one thing that I am sure about in general sales or retail, is this...provide value!rnrnThat\'s always been the idea. Provide value. It makes sense. Otherwise the customer will just keep their money.rnrnAs an info marketer you have to provide information the customer wants.rnrnAnd what he wants is often not what he needs.rnrnThey ask, \"How can I make money online.\" That\'s our market! What are you going to tell them?rnrnTell that person what you know has worked for you.rnrnBut, really, don?t you think that you should have done it, and succeeded at it, before you start telling others how to do it? Especially if you are asking for money for the information. The info has to work! Well, it better work unless you are looking for a lot of grief.rnrnYou may be able to argue that both ways but the fact is...I have done it. And, now, I can tell you how I did it.rnrnI ought to be able to describe to you in detail exactly HOW I did it. And that\'s value. Just what you\'re looking for.rnrnUnless you don\'t want to hear it. The whole website thing is a real lightning rod.rnrnWhen I first started looking into Internet Marketing I was relieved when someone told me I didn\'t need a website to make good money online. Maybe, but don\'t think so.rnrnLet\'s say you have an info product, all ready to go. It\'s your\'s or somebody else\'s. You\'ve vetted it. You\'re anxious to start and chomping at the bit. Good!rnrnHow are you going to promote and sell this info product?rnrnIt always gets back to the basics.rnrnYou need to be able to make simple little websites or even just webpages.rnrnThat page needs a place to live. Your domain name is what passes for an \"address\" online.rnrnThe address needs to be on a Webhost server. That\'s Hosting.rnrnYou need to be able to upload and download webpage files from and to that server. That\'s FTP.rnrnNow then, after you have your basic infrastructure in place you need Traffic! Targeted Traffic.rnrnThat\'s article marketing! You write the article to attract those people who are likely to be interested in what you offer. It works great. My advice? Quit fighting it. Get the basics down.rnrnThen move on to the only slightly more complex concept of selling something.rnrnJust do it.rn
