If I am just venturing into online marketing, where do I begin?  Let me share 7 of the best online marketing tips that I have learned and are just trying out.

1.)  Get in a “process”. Set-up a system that works for yourself. Take your time to learn this system. Almost every system can produce results. Don’t go jumping from one system to the next. Take the time you need to master that one system that works for you.

2.)  Take Action! Stop your planning and thinking about when you are going to begin. Again, I’ll say it – take action! Do not get stuck with “analysis paralysis.” Once you have settled on, and mastered your system and learned the basics, don’t be afraid to take take it further with action and implementation. Get out there and do it.  Will you make mistakes? Most likely, so get over it and learn from it. You will have setbacks, but don’t worry about it. Deal with it, learn and proceed with what you now know.

3.) Learn how to write sales copy. That is perhaps the most important online marketing skill you can aquire - sales copy writing. There may come a time when you outsource this task to professional copywriters, but knowing the basics yourself will allow you to evaluate their work. Besides, you probably can’t afford to spend thousands of dollars right now on a professional, so learning to do it yourself is important.

4.) Learn to write articles quickly. One of the best ways to promote your products is to write articles like this one and submit them to directories. But, if it takes you 2 hours to write a single article, you will not be able to put out the quantity needed to make money online. One expert has a system down where he can write articles in just 7 minutes. While it will probably take you more than that at first, strive to write at least two an hour. They don’t have to pass your 10th grade English teacher’s strict standards, they just have to generate enough interest to send people to your site.

5.) Consider Pay Per Click. PPC is the quickest way to deliver traffic to your website. However, if you don’t learn how to do it, you can lose your shirt. If you have a product that you want to start selling right away, PPC is the best avenue for you. But learn the ins and outs before you bid on high priced, high trafficked keywords.

6.) Create processes and systems. You shouldn’t re-invent the wheel every time you create a new product or a new web site. Instead, have a specific system. Develop your own guide book to setting up a blog or promoting an ebook. Not only will this save you time in the long run, it will also help you make more money. This is one of those online marketing tips that so many marketers miss.

7.) Create value. Don’t think that internet marketing is all about taking your customer’s money. Don’t think of your customers as “marks.” Develop relationships with them and provide value to them. It’s much harder to get an initial customer than have someone who trusts you buy from you again.

So, there are seven online marketing tips to get you going. Now, go get started!
