Internet Marketing For Newbies Review

This is my Squidoo review for internet marketers. If you’re just starting out and really confused about how to begin internet marketing, you might be feeling overwhelmed right now. There is so much to learn about Internet Marketing. In fact, just trying to decide what type of internet marketing to do can be confusing.

There’s affiliate marketing (which is what I do), product creation, and some other stuff that I don’t really understand. Then there are the types of marketing your going to use – will you use PPC (pay per click), bum marketing (also called article marketing), website creation, and again, some other stuff that I don’t understand.

When I first started doing Internet Marketing I started with SiteBuild It (SBI) doing website creation. I wasn’t very good at it because I didn’t really understand keyword research. (Here’s a very important tip – even if you think you understand keyword research, ask someone to look over your keyword research results just to make sure you’re doing it right. In fact, if you want to email me 3 of your top keywords, I’ll take a look at them and let you know if you’re on the tracks or missing the train.) Anyway, with SBI I thought it “wasn’t working” (it was really me that wasn’t working) so i tried something else.

I tried Squidoo next because that sounded easy enough. And it actually is. So here’s my short Squidoo review from my own experience using Own Week Marketing (OWM) – created by a stay at home mom who calls herself PotPie Girl. (She’s also a member of Wealthy Affiliate and I was able to ask her questions on the forums when I was stuck on something in OWM.) You don’t need to buy a guide to help you learn Squidoo but if you want to make money using Squidoo as an internet marketing tool, then you might want to consider it. There is a free ebook you can download on Squidoo call The Squidoo Guide.

One Week Marketing Guide

One Week Marketing taught me a lot about how to get my Squidoo lenses to rank high in search results. Its called One Week Marketing because you should be able to create a Squidoo lens in one week and then move on to the next lens, with the idea of having lots of lenses up and earning money for you. You can also download another free ebook called the Dam Way that walks you through how to start in article marketing.

So if you make 52 “lens campaigns” (one each week for the next year), and each campaign makes an average of $10 a week, you’ll makes about  $27,040 per year. (52 lens campaigns online x $10 ea per week = $520/week. $520 per week x 52 weeks.) Now some of those lens campaigns won’t make any money and others will make more then $10 a week. There are some people making a living with Internet Marketing with just Squidoo lenses.

I know this was supposed to be a Squidoo review and turned into a One Week Marketing review instead, but if you’re serious about earning a living online then you need some type of system and a plan of action. And that’s whats OWM gives you, a day-by-day plan of action.

This was a really easy way for me to learn more about other aspects of internet marketing. And making Squidoo lens is fun! If you haven’t tried it yet, I hope you will do so. Its like building a little newspaper on your favorite topic using nothing but online tools. No need to pay for domain names, web hosting, etc etc. Its all free and just waiting for people to take advantage of it.
