We didn't start online businesses to make 10 bucks an hour, right? Our goals are obviously much bigger. But here's what new comers need to know that only seasoned online pros can tell you - you've got to start somewhere.

There are three key components to that sentence - "You have got to start somewhere."

First of course is "you," because nobody is going to do it for you.

Second is "have got to start" - if you haven't started to make money online, now is the time. Not tomorrow. Not next month. NOW.

And third is "somewhere." Meaning you're not going to start out making a thousand dollars an hour or a million dollars a year. It's not going to happen. You start out making maybe 10 dollars an hour, and you move up from there.

I'm not saying you can't move up fast - you can. But you have to START where ever it is that you're able to start, and for nearly everybody it's making a few dollars an hour and working from there.

Whether you are just getting into Internet marketing or have been doing this for a while, you know that developing a niche is key to the success of your Internet marketing efforts. After all, when you are in business on the Internet, you don't necessarily have to produce a particular product first to market it. You don't even have to provide a service to market that either.

Online marketing makes it easy for anyone to get into business, whether they have experience in any specific business or not. The entire world of products and services are open to market on the Internet, as long as you know how to market using infoproducts and affiliate marketing to sell online. So, where do you start? Isn't it too overwhelming? That's where a market niche becomes an indispensable tool to help you target profitable and interesting markets that can bring attention to your website and help you be successful in your chosen Internet marketing venture.

This report will tell you how to locate hot spots in Internet marketing topics in a methodical way that anyone can follow.

Knowing what hot niches to market has become especially important to generate income. Some people may suggest that the entire marketing landscape has been turned upside down and that old, popular niches are no longer the bestsellers they once were. There is a bit of truth to this as it becomes harder to sell in a climate of economic fear; however, once you take a look at the five standard, hot niches closely, you will find that they are still selling, although in different manners.

What Are They?

Health & Beauty - This is, by far, the most popular niche out there. The demographic has been traditionally female, but more and more men are increasing their purchases in this area. Even when gasoline is $4/gallon, people still make purchases for small indulgences like lipstick, indicating that this is still a powerful niche to market.

Parenting & Children's Needs - What people won't spend on themselves, they will find a way to spend on their children. It's clear that some households are making sacrifices in this area, but they are making up for it...

OFFLINE BUSINESSES NEED YOUR HELP

Up until now, you may have concentrated on building your Internet marketing skills and income online. However, you may be ignoring a valuable segment of the market for your skills - the offline businesses that need your help. That's right; there are plenty of mom-and-pop businesses that are struggling to make it in this recession and would love to know how to cut costs and gain wider market exposure, but they have no clue on how to do that online! As you well know, where there's a demand for a solution, there's a way to make riches. All you have to do is to understand how to educate offline business owners in what they're missing and to create solutions that meet those needs.

THEY MIGHT NOT BELIEVE YOU
At first, when you first approach offline business owners, the first thing out of their mouths will be, "I already have a website." While that may well be true, they aren't understanding the basic difference between owning a static website that just sits there getting stale and having a Web presence that is alive and bringing in new customers on a regular basis. You can bet that the majority of business owners don't understand how the Internet can work for them, other than as an advertising medium.

Learning something new is fun; it can also be a challenge. Many times we are required to learn something new with our job and there are times when we are interested in something and want to learn more about it. That’s why a coaching business offers a great way to make some nice profits.

There is so much information out there so it seems very easy to just do some research and find what it is you need to know. How easy is it to apply your new found knowledge in a real life situation, and how much can you trust the information out there? It is not really that simple. Learning something and doing something are two different things.

​

Learning something and putting it into practice takes time, patience, and a good coach. This is where you come in handy. Think of your current niche, and as you are thinking about it, is there something within your niche that people need or want help with? Maybe you cannot think of something within your niche, so below are ten coaching businesses examples.

Getting into Internet marketing is like going into business for yourself. What most people fail to realize is that the same types of obstacles and challenges that people have when they go into business offline are the same obstacles and challenges they might face online, except in a different format. If you have difficulty selling items in a regular brick-and-mortar store, don't think that slapping a website up on the World Wide Web is going to transform you into an instant super sales person. It won't. Instead, seek to become a better business person all around, taking your cue from basic business practices, and then transferring those skills online to be successful.

YOUR ATTITUDE IS HALF THE BATTLE

Business is a competition, just like sports. You don't go out to the playing field assuming that your team will lose. You don't let a few setbacks sour you on the entire game. You give it your all until the umpire blows the whistle and the game is over. Then, there is time for regret, but until then, the game can always be turned around at the last minute. Having a positive attitude when you go into Internet marketing is essential, just like it is when you are competing in sports. If you think you will fail, you will.

Starting a business can be costly, especially in certain fields such as brick-and-mortar and retail. But there are ways to drastically reduce your startup costs, and to secure funding without giving away the rights to your company, or going into serious debt.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard entrepreneurs lamenting over the fact that they gave a huge percentage of their company equity away to get angel investors or venture capital, and realized later they could have done it on their own without giving up so much equity.

Let’s say you secure $100,000 from an angel investor in exchange for a 25% stake in your company. (Realistically, most investors ask for higher amounts, but we’ll use 25% for easier math.)

Now let’s say your company makes $1,000,000 in profit in its first year. This means your angel investor would receive $250,000 for that initial $100,000 investment, and that’s just in the first year! Over the years, this could add up to millions of dollars!

When you know, respect and live the fundamental truths of life, your journey becomes easier and your load much lighter.

Here are the fundamental truths of online marketing, of life, and of the universe. Okay, maybe they're not so grand as all that – I'll let you decide.

Golden Rule #1: You are responsible for your own success. Daunting, isn't it? When you fully realize that you and you alone are responsible for your success or failure – that you've no one to blame or congratulate but yourself – it can almost take your breath away. However, this can also be the most empowering realization you will ever have because you realize that your destiny is in your own hands. It is up to you to make this the life you choose, not the life you settle for.

Take this a step further and you'll find that you are also responsible for your own happiness as well. You can choose at this very moment to be happy or unhappy, regardless of your circumstances.

​

You don't want to become one of those many one hit wonders that make a big splash on the Internet and then vanish – but how do you make sure that you're not?

Because it's really easy to say you won't be, but the fact is that no one PLANS to be a one hit wonder; in fact it happens when you DON'T plan.

I'm going to offer some tips here for ensuring that your success is not the flash in the pan variety, but rather the type of success that continues to pay off day in and day out for years to come.

Really what we are talking about is becoming what you might call a “repeat success.” Because isn't that the opposite of being a one hit wonder? There is nothing at all wrong with that initial success – it's repeating that success over and over that gets you the outcome you're seeking. Sort of like being a one hit wonder a hundred or even several hundred times. And when you view it like this, you see that it becomes easier.

When you start a business on Fiverr, it starts out with an idea, which can blossom into reality. What is it you like to do for fun, or what are your talents? When you think about that, it is easier than you can imagine coming up with an idea that will sell. When you research Fiverr before you start, you will see what already sells. See what people are offering, then differentiate yourself from them and sell things that people want to buy.

​

Working on Fiverr requires you to help people get what they need accomplished. When you are thinking about others, it will make it easier on both you and the client. There are many ways to find out what your potential clients want. See what is selling already, and look at the buyer requests.

​

Once you have all your research done, then it is time to create your gigs. Make sure everything is clearly written and you describe your services exactly as you are going to perform them. Once you are sure of everything you wrote and you have a clear plan of action, it is time to find the clients.

Before You Setup an Account

​

Now is the perfect time to start a business. There are plenty of opportunities out there, which is contrary to popular belief. Starting a business may seem a little intimidating but it depends on the way you go about it. Since business is a term we are all very familiar with, it can be easier to set one up than one thinks.

​

Many people have dreams of having their own business for many reasons. They want to make money and make something of themselves. Others want something to supplement their income. Whatever the reason you want to start a business, always begin doing it the right way, and keep running it with good intentions.

​

One popular belief is that you need tons of experience, expertise, and knowledge to start a business. The opposite is true. While it helps to go to school and learn the tricks of the trade, it does not necessarily mean that you cannot start a business because you do not have a degree. The important things to remember are, you need to research, ask the right questions, and get the best advice you can.
