I will discuss here some tips that can help you succeed online, but I can’t promise that it will guarantee your success. Nothing can guarantee your success because success is a complex of things and factors that have to be done the right way. Simply be willing to work hard and have patience until you see the results of your efforts.

It is not an easy job to start online business, especially if we take into consideration a competition of the same topic as you want to work with. You need a great dedication, a lot of time and focus. 

1.  I already mentioned in other my posts that to start online business is better with creating your own website. There are many platforms for creating website, but my choice and advice would be to choose WordPress. Why? because it is the best and easy to use platform even for beginners, because your site will be optimized and ready for search engines already. And it will result in higher rankings in search engines.

2.  Choose a domain name. I would advice to buy a .com domain if only you can afford it. Sites with com end get better rankings as Google loves them. Try to avoid using hyphen or dash in your domain name.

3. Then you will need web hosting company, and before choosing it, do some research to find the best one. It should provide the quality of services and of course security of your website. It will prevent you from hackers attacks. In order to avoid loosing your business, make a backup of your site. WordPress provides you with such tool – export function.

4. It is good idea to build your email list. Sign up for paid autoresponders for email marketing such as Aweber or GetResponse account. Or any other. If your budget is low when you are starting business, them join free autoresponder and you could sign up for better one at a later stage. Don’t overestimate building an email list. It is going greatly to help you grow your business. Simple way to create email list is to create email course of valuable information, and you will be able to get some of readers subscribed to your list.

5.  In order to get traffic you need to use right keywords. Try the Jaaxy, that can help you find the best keywords. Jaaxy tool will give you an obvious advantage over your competitors. All you need to do is to find low competition keywords and then write articles around them. In addition, Jaaxy will give you a lot of ideas to write about, as a result you will have a lot of new content for your website. To find the right keywords for your content is very critical for your success online.

6.  Traffic is the foundation of your online business. Never focus on one traffic source only. First concern of traffic should be organic search engine traffic, so write fresh content for your website at least on a weekly basis and search for right keywords. Other source for traffic is social media. Make accounts and pages for Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest and other social media sites. You can gain traffic via PPC (pay per click). If you are good at creating articles, then write it for other websites of your niche and add your signature with link to your site.  

Use legit techniques only when driving traffic to your website. Always think long term because if you apply the wrong techniques you will destroy your entire business someday, even if you are successful today.

7. Be consistent on writing content for your website on a daily or weekly basis. It is proved already - the more you write the more traffic you get. No matter what your niche or product is, try to create as much product's reviews as possible. Usually people before buying any product online, first of all they are doing research and read product reviews.

8. Better start with one website and work on it until you start making good income from it. Then you can start the other one. Don’t try to create many websites at the same time, because you will fail. Unless you are experienced enough to do it. Stay focused on your first website at least for a few month. If you write original engaging content for your site, you will gain a targeted traffic from Google and some other major search engines.

9.  Install Google analytics and track your success. It allows you to see what articles are driving the most traffic to your website. Once you get to know this, try to write more content around particular topic. Knowing the most visited pages of your site gives you great chance to add some more products with your affiliate links. It can increase your sales.

10. Always research your niche to stay up to date thus giving your visitors most reliable and fresh information. You can never know everything but try to be as knowledgeable and helpful in your field as possible because this will attract more visitors to your website and possibly you will be able to turn them into your customers.
