First steps as an Internet Marketer

Getting high rankings in the search engines is going to be more of a challenge since Google  decided that article marketing, blog postings and similar back link strategies are not as highly rated as they were previously. So this leaves many would be marketers with a dilemma in that if they use new methods which work today will they find themselves penalized tomorrow by the likes of Bing, Yahoo and Google when new evaluations of SEO are introduced.  After all, article marketing, creating back links via Hubpages and (Squidoo before they went into liquidation) were all fairly standard methods proposed by most SEO strategists in the past. Yet now with new algorithms being developed by the search engines many of these methods will no longer produce the goods when it comes to ranking well and therefore getting visitors to your site.  In fact there is every possibility that the opposite effect may occur where these very strategies could now harm your carefully crafted SEO strategies.

Time is something that is a most important factor when considering starting up an internet marketing business.  For instance, could you realistically achieve a reasonable income if you were only able to devote 20 minutes per day to the task?  20 minutes per day equates to approximately 10 hours a month.  This isn't an enormous amount of time for any business so is it a feasible target? Perhaps the secret to success in internet marketing is in the timing as it is in most things in life even if it is only 20 minutes per day.  So if you are interested in creating an internet marketing business but see time as an issue, ie you cannot afford to spend more than 20 minutes a day as long as you persevere you may achieve your ambitions. If you spend your 20 minutes in researching something about which you are passionate you are more likely to succeed.  Bear in mind that you may have to continue for several years before seeing your online business succeeding.  Don't believe any hype
