I can't find the answer.....so I thought I'd just ask.
Anyway, regardless of the path to get here, I'm here, I'm intrigued, I'm keen to learn and I'm no further forward than I was two months ago when I first "discovered" the subject.
I think I must have watched a gazillion youtube videos of "gurus" telling how they alone can teach the inner workings of this industry and how everyone else has got it all wrong. Invariably though, you follow their links and before too long their asking you to pay for the service.
Now that I suppose is fair enough, they're internet marketers after all !! After submitting your email details you normally have 3 levels of "membership"
Option A should be known as the "I'm going to bombard you with emails until you either unsubscribe or buy something" option.
Option B is the "I'll give you absolutely nothing but dress it up so as it almost looks as though I'm giving you something" option.
And then there is the option which seems to be common to ALL internet marketers, that option is of course..........PREMIUM.
I've yet to go PREMIUM with anyone so I can't comment other than to say PREMIUM does seem to revolve around the $99 figure for some reason.
So I've remained in the free shallow end of this world for two months now, water wings firmly on and life preserver 'round my waste. I've tried to make some sort of sense of it all even though it does seem to be back to front from 'traditional' selling in that in this realm, the actual product seems to almost the last thing you need to find
I'll tell you all what I'm NOT getting my head around though. I appreciate that in this field, as in almost every other field in the world, no two people will agree on the " best" way to do it. Different people have different opinions and if they are all making money then it makes them ALL right.
But it's the actual process I'm not understanding. In the wake of recent Google changes, there seems to be a slight difference of opinion surrounding the importance, or at least the level of importance, of good, original content (and this is where I drag you all to an extremely basic level) but as a newcomer, I have to ask........good, original content where ???
Seems to me in this industry, (I'd hazard a guess that I'm talking more Affiliate marketing here) that the steps go a little like this......
Try to find a niche idea
Find out if anyone is searching for that niche idea
Find out what words they're searching for in that niche
Find your niche product
Then create your site around it
Get the word out anywhere and everywhere that your site exists
But the very very basic question I have about it is this, (which I know may seem obvious to you guys who know what you are doing, but to a newcomer it isn't) ........Where do you add this good, original content?
What I mean is, do you create a web-site and continually add new pages to it with new content? Or do you create a web-site, leave it as it is but create a blog about it and add new content to the blog which directs people to the site?
Or does your site have a blog within it and it's within that you add the content?
I'm just not getting the "become an authority on your subject" thing as I can't even work out where it is you're supposed to add your ..........authority.
Now I'm not asking anyone to give out information on a plate. I don't mind putting the work in, honestly I don't. But after searching for two months I can't find the answer.......so I thought I'd just ask. Can anyone point me in the right direction of even a thread which is worth reading which does not require me to go PREMIUM in the first two sentences so I can at least work out where to start?
I know you guys would've at some point had to figure this out for yourselves and you may think it's a wee bit lazy of me to ask like this, but I have been looking honest. Thank you in advance to any and all who leave a constructive reply.
