Many people are visual, so we decided that we would help those people out with a complete mind map of Internet marketing. Since there are so many facets within the Internet marketing world (PPC, Article marketing, SEO, Forums, Email Marketing etc.), we have kept things pretty high level. In saying this, there are flow charts within every single category Getting Started guide to help you visualize theprocess of success.

As you can see from the diagram above, Internet Marketing is comprised of 4 major steps. We elaborate on this in more depth throughout this Action guide, but we will give you a brief overview of each step.

(1) Choosing a Niche

The first step you need to take is choosing your niche. This could be anything. People succeed on the Internet selling pretty much anything you can imagine. This step requires research and is discussed in detail within section 3.1.

(2) Choosing Something to Sell
Making money online does require you to get someone to take action. This is typically surrounded around them buying a product of yours, or in most cases buying from a merchant through one of your special affiliate links. People also put third party advertising on their site (like Adsense) to earn money as well.

(3) Choosing a Marketing Direction


It is not good to be the "jack of all trades" when starting out within the Internet marketing world. This is why you need to choose your marketing direction, that is, how you choose to drive traffic to your web pages/blog/articles. There are four main ways to do this and it is through PPC, Article Marketing, SEO, and Email Marketing.

(4) Building Campaigns

This is the ACTION component of Internet marketing. Without action, no success takes place. This could be building web pages, writing blog posts, or writing articles....pretty much anything that involves the fruition of a campaign. We expand more on the building aspect within "The 50/50 Rule Breakdown".

This is really a great way to explain the intricacies of Internet Marketing and there are many truths stated within this website that one cannot help but grasp as they read through the material. Action is key only after you know what you want to do and I think many people make the mistake of acting too soon before realizing exactly what to do in the first place (myself included on occasion.)
