    Yo. Heyyyy. Wazzz up and stuff.

    So um, what kind of customers and stuff are you like trying to get?

    In order to be helped, it might help if you add specific information about what it is you're trying to sell. The product and how people are going to be exposed to the option of buying your product or not matters.

    Customers and stuff?

    I'm going to give you some general advice here. I would re-think the business plan at this point if you don't have a product or an idea to set into action.

    Getting customers is as easy as, providing people information or a service that they need. Remember, people aren't coming online just to give you money. People are looking for either,

    A: Information to a problem or question.
    B: A solution to a problem.

    You need to provide them that solution or that information. In regards to A, people usually don't buy products on a whim when seeking information on something, this is why an AdSense based site works best for this. In regards to B, you need to provide them a product that will "solve" their problem.

    Taking this a step further, you should have them opt-in to an e-mail list. I believe Aweber is really really cheap and the best solution for this. Not only can you sell them one product, but once their on your e-mail list, you can continue to give them tips, newsletters and product launches.

    Hope that answers some of your questions,
    Corey

    Hi Elliot, the basis for customers is through good Back-Linking. Back-Linking is the key to a successful website after the recent Penguin update earlier last year. The more the back-links, the more traffic to your site.

    Here are a few tips which I use personally for my back-link development:

    1. Content Syndication
    2. Blog Commenting
    3. Sponsoring WordPress Themes
    4. Article Directories
    5. SEO
    6. Video Marketing
    7. Forum Marketing
    8. Web 2.0
    9. Ego-Bait
    10. Interviews
    11. Social Networking
    12. Fiverr Gigs

    After you get a decent amount of traffic to your site, you can make money through ClickBank and promoting other vendors' products on your website through reviews and recommendations. You can get a commission of up to 75% of the original sale!

    I've written a massive guide on Back-Linking, you might want to check it out for a more in-depth explanation on the topic.

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll be more than happy to answer your questions!

    Try and rank for good converting keywords. Research really is the key here as you don't want to go barking up the wrong tree and find that after the investment, time and effort in chasing keyword you find it doesn't convert that well.

    If you are selling an ebook or course or something there are several selling platforms you can use to promote - clickbank etc.

    You could even find relevant niche websites already getting traffic, get in contact with others a strick up a deal for them to advertise it. Perhaps they could become your affiliates.

    how to get customers for which product and/service? Different products and services may need different ways of promotion to attract customers.

    By selling/promoting things that large numbers of people are already looking for (whether they know it or not) and by putting entertaining and/or provocative information about them in front of as many of those people as possible, to make sure that you're the person to whom they choose to pay attention.

    I couldn't possibly comment.

    Not in public, anyway.

    It will need to be, more or less by definition, otherwise it wouldn't have been "help" in the first place, perhaps?

    You should begin with keyword research. That is the most important thing. Then get traffic link to your website.What ever are you doing, if you not pay attention to the keyword research, your effort is useless. If You are lazy to do it, log on to fiverr (Graphics, marketing, fun and more online) services for $5.Everything was there. For eg if you want to do youtube marketing to promote your affilliate, you just buy the gig from fiverr(lot of services there). Choose the top rated saller. Tell him what you want. Then buy the SEO(internet marketing) gig. Hope this method will help you .

    See if other people are already selling products in your niche. If you don't see anyone do it or that it has little to 0 competition, then you know that it is a waste of time.

    Don't focus on making a product right now. Find one that is already on the market and sell it for some commissions. Then when you are ready, you can then create your own.
