Starting a Online Business - Step by Step Instructions.

By Cecil Heim

Starting a online business is in fact very easy. Anybody with basic computer skills can start a web business. In this article we will have a closer look at one of the options available and the steps you will take when starting a online business.

The easiest method to make easy money on the internet is to sell products. If not your own, then by selling other people's products for a commission.

If you are thinking of starting a online business. Chances are you do not have a product of your own. So let's get you started by selling other people's products.

The first thing you will want to do is find a product to sell. For this I would recommend that you open an account with Click Bank. This is a good place to start and the service is free. Once your account has been confirmed. Do a bit of reading to get the basics.

The next step is to open an account with Google Adwords. Without Adwords you will not be able to get anywhere so the minimal setup costs are well worth it. You will need this account to advertise the products your are selling as well as do Keyword Research.

Once again, when your account is confirmed, do some reading to get to know the service. In brief this is how it works. You place an ad for the product you are selling and select the keywords that would attract customers to your ad. You would bid on the keywords your have chosen and it stands to reason that the more popular the keyword, the higher the bid.

Now let's find a product to sell. I recommend that for starters you find a product on a subject you know something about. Go to the market place in you ClickBank account and do a search on the subject of your choice. Have a look at the commissions paid as well as the conversion factors. I would not go for anything that pays less the $20. Make a list of about 5 to 10 possibilities.

Now you need to find out if the products have a chance of being viable. To do this we will be using Google Adwords Keyword tool. First thing, go to the keyword tool and enter the exact title of the product you want to sell and ask Google to suggest keywords.

Have a look at how many searches there are for your keyword or product. If there are less than 3000 searches per month, you may want to try another product. Now have a look at the competition and minimum estimated bid. The more the competition the higher the bid.

If your product is for example, "How to loose Weight". Anyone using this search term would most likely want to loose weight. Then the visitor to your ad would be more inclined to buy. On this basis, for every 100 clicks on your ad, one sale should be made. Therefore, if your bid is .10c you need only one sale to break even. Additional sales will be pure profit. Get the picture.?

This may not sound like you will not be making a lot of money. But, repeat the same procedure with 20 to 30 products giving a profit of $300.00 each per month. See how it ads up.?

Now to the next step. On the same basis as above. Select a few keywords that closely match your product and add them to your list. A point to remember. You do not have to have 1000's of keywords to make the system to work. 5 or 6 well chosen keywords with low bids, is all you need.

So far so good. The last step is to write the advertisement you are going to publish. For the title of the ad, use the exact name of the product. For example, if the product is "How to Loose weight". That would be your title. Then do a search for the title and have a look at the competition ads. Get some ideas, and write your own, but a little better.

That is all there is to it. Run your ad. Let me warn you though. You need to continually monitor your sales expenses against income made. If you do not do this. The Adwords game can become a very expensive exercise. But if you continually check which keywords and ads are making money and which are not. You should not have any problems when starting a internet business.
