Do what you do best and leave the rest to someone else. This is true with Internet marketing. I leave the other bits of Internet Marketing I don’t like doing or I know someone else can to better to that person.

If you know where to look then you can get a quality job done and at a very good price. One place you need to visit is the forums at Digitalpoint, here you’ll find someone that’ll complete the jobs that you find tedious or can do it better. As Internet marketing takes plenty of time, it’s good to get someone to do your article marketing and link building or even website building.

I use these forums for article rewriting or article creation to add quality unique content to my sites. You can also use freelancers from sites like elance or Scriptlance.

You might have quality unique content on your site that is driving traffic via the search engines, but did you know that you might be missing a trick by not using photos.

Photos can work really well in also driving traffic to your site, more and more people are using image searching on Google, if you have titled your photos correctly and surrounded them with similar keywords in text and content you could be tapping into a great traffic source. Buyers quite often search for an image of a product before buying and this can lead them to your site.

Also you need to make your site look attractive to make your visitors stay longer and to return again, not only that, if a site looks professional and well presented it will encourage your visitors to purchase from you.

In the old days you had two ways to get visitors to your site, you built you site so that the search engines loved you and you ranked high or you bought advertising.

Now the Internet has matured which has brought a third way of bringing your site traffic. Web 2.0 gives you a excellent way to increase the traffic to your site, three sites are listed below.

The first one is You Tube, most people have heard of You Tube, video is becoming easier to produce, so it’s gaining popularity. If produced properly you will receive a lot more traffic by using video, than you will writing an article.

The second is Twitter, with Twitter you can keep your audience up to date on what you are doing and this can drive traffic to your site.

The third is good old Facebook, now a days most people have a Facebook account as it’s easy to use and build a profile that people can see. You can bring everything together on your Facebook account and this can also bring traffic to your sites.

SEO and advertising still work for most webmasters, but the three sites above are having an impact, if you’re not using them yet you should.

People think that Virtual Real Estate projects are sites full of quality content that earn plenty of revenue through adsense from visitors coming via the search engines.

Most of this is correct, you must have quality content sites and your site must have been SEO’d to get visitors from the search engines. But the money part is not quite accurate.

Yes Virtual Real Estate owners do use Adsense and other contextual advertising to make money from their sites, but quite a few do not use contextual advertising at all. There are many ways to monetize your VRE sites, affiliate products being an excellent example. Many owners of VRE sites make a good living adding links to there site content that contain affiliate products. You can be very flexible with VRE, you don’t need to just stick to Adsense.

The first reason to do affiliate marketing is you don’t need to create a product, you can save yourself coming up with a brilliant idea and having to create it or having to sit down and write an ebook. All you need to do is drive plenty of traffic to your affiliate sales page.

The second reason is you don’t have to deal with the customers or customer issues, any problems with the products is dealt with by the seller, not you the affiliate. This can save you a lot of time and headaches.

The third reason is you don’t need to deliver the product to the buyer, this is dealt with by the vendor. You don’t need to store the product or spend time handling any products. This is all down again to the vendor.

As you can see, there’s some real advantages of just being an affiliate marketer.

It can seem really difficult to grasp Internet Marketing and focus on the bigger picture, this is completely true if you’re just starting out, it seems you’re being bombarded with loads of ideas and information.

Internet Marketing is really not that complicated, you just need to follow the simple basic formula, which is true with most things we do. If you clear away all the bright lights and look underneath, there’s three things which really interest us.

Number one is traffic, if you want to make sales, then you need customers and to get customers we need prospects. So we need visitors to our site if we want to make money.

When we have the traffic, then we need conversions! We need to get our visitors to buy from our site or take some form of action that makes us money.

If someone buys from our site or takes the right action, then we make money! This is our goal.

This is what happens when we put them all together.

Traffic x Rate of Conversion x Money Conversion = Gross Profit

Should you pick sub-niches due to there size, if you can find a few good keywords that will get you top spot in the search engines quite quickly should you go for it and build that website or pass it by for a bigger niche?

Build it, you can grab that sub-niche and make it your own very quickly. The work to keep you at the top of the search engines is very minimal compared to the competition high end niches and the return on investment of some of the smaller VRE niches will give you the best returns.

Most people think about the big niches and the thousands of visitors that’ll get to their site, but it’ll be super competitive and a lot of hard work to get it to the top of the search engines.

Google with not hesitate in closing your Adsense account if you don’t play by the rules. If you do get banned then you’ll find it really tough to open up another account or to get back into their good books.

If you have a Google Adsense account or plan on opening one, then here are three common no-nos that can get you banned.

Here’s probably the number one reason for getting banned from Adsense, self clicking, whatever you do, don’t click on your website Adsense ads, you simply can not do it, the alarm bells will sound at Google towers, they will find you out and close you down in a flash.

Number two is blending your Adsense ads into your website so they look like your website navigation links or non sponsored content. Also Google have rules against displaying graphics next to your ads, a website competitor might grass you up or Google might find out on a routine check. This can lead to a ban, so please read the terms of service.

Number three, using scams or tricks, ‘I’ll click your ads if you click mine’, ask or pay someone else or another publisher to click on your ads and you will reciprocate the favor, or any other similar scheme will get your account closed down.

Play by the rules and read the terms of service and you should have a good relationship with the number one online ad program.

A few posts ago I talked you through eBayphp Pro and promised you a post about Build A Niche Store.

I built my first store today Websites For Sale, this took about 2 hours to build and the process is really simple.

I found this software really simple to use and install, it cost $97 for the package, first you upload the folders to your hosting, this is all written down in the install guide, so simple for a newbie to follow. The trouble you might have is setting up a database for the store, but this is also explained very well in the install notes. If you haven’t done anything like this before please read the instructions before you start and use the recommended hosting, as they will walk you through how to setup a database.

Once you’ve uploaded the scripts, you can now sign in and set your niche store up. You can have a basic store up within 10 minutes, just pick the category(s) you require from eBay and the script pulls all the auctions from that category(s) onto your site. You have plenty of options to configure your site, add menus and links, unique content.

I will soon, do a step by step guide on how to make an eBay store.

If you’re looking to make money from ebay, this is how I make most of my money online, I would highly recommend Build A Niche Store
