Out of Obscurity

I’ve started marketing a clickbank product that helps with weight loss. It is designed for wedding weight loss. Many people try losing weight for their wedding day and struggle because they don’t know what metabolism boosting foods will help. This product is designed with suggested exercises and a diet generator to help you identify the most effective foods to eat to lose weight for your wedding day. My first mistake though was the research that I did to chose the keyword. There are simply too many wedding weight loss search engine results. So, I will be going and doing some more research to find a more appropriate keyword. I have distributed some articles to article directories and I may get some results from that keyword, but I think I better create marketing campaign with a keyword that is less common, but still frequently searched.

When I find something very helpful in internet marketing, I like to blog about it. I found The Wealthy Pages to be very helpful. Not only does it explain what types of services are the most helpful, but how to select the right one for you. There are so many different types of internet marketing tools to use and you can be successful using any of them. However, it is essential to find one that works with your personality. Some people do not like writing and deciding upon article marketing for them would be absolutely wrong. They would definately be more successful with a pay per click advertising campaign because article marketing takes a love of writing, which not everyone has. The Wealthy Pages debunks the myth that you need your own website or your own product to make money online. While it is nice to have your own product and website to sell things with online, there are many ways to get around that and still have success online. For example, simply by creating a blog in blogger, you can enable adsense and be paid for anyone who clicks on a link on your blog. While this is certainly not the most lucrative way of making money online, it is one way to do it. Another way, is by promoting products that you know and love through affiliate marketing. Through affiliate marketing, you will earn a commission each time someone purchases a product through your website or recommendation. Affiliate commissions are generally higher than adsense earnings and some people make a nice living through affiliate commissions.

The seizure I had really caused some depression. I didn’t write for over a week and I stopped researching internet marketing altogether. It was definately a set-back. I wish I had drafts and things that I wanted to post written out in advance, but I’m not sure that would have solved the problem. I actually lost any and all desire to even visit my blog altogether. I didn’t like spending time online. Seizures change your brainwaves for a time and the way you think about things. I’m going to try to get back into the swing of things because I think blogging helps me stay focused on learning about internet marketing. I don’t think that this blog will be used to actually make money, but as a help in staying focused on my goal of learning internet marketing.

I decided to try making money online because I have seizures. Yesterday I suffered another one. I am bruised and depressed from it and was not in the mood to write anything or really focus on research today. I am hoping to get back into the daily grind tomorrow. There is a lot to do. I just want my bruises to heal and feel comfortable again.

Promotional opportunities abound for online marketers. But, I just feel stuck! I barely know what to promote and how to go about promoting it. I could take many different approaches and that is where I get frustrated. Give me too many options and I can’t decide. With only two options, I can just flip a coin and usually I am alright picking out the option that would work best for me. However online marketing can include free advertising, pay per click, social media, posting links to twitter and facebook, commenting on forums, writing articles and more. Not to mention that you are suppose to research the most appropriate keywords that will get you the most hits. I could create my own amazon store and drive traffic to that, but there are so many things on there to promote that I don’t know where to begin.
I took the weekend off from online marketing. I did start to write a couple articles for a clickbank product, but must admit that I did not buy the article spinner/submitter yet. It is about eighty dollars and I want to have some articles written before I make that purchase. I need to see if writing articles is something that I can stick with.
