Two Ways to Achieve Faster Internet Business Profits

Creating online business profits is something you can control to a certain extent. After all you are in business for yourself so you get to make all of the decisions including how to spend money starting and running your own Internet business.

In this article we'll talk about two ways to achieve online business profits faster so you can reach your own income goals.

1. Combine free and paid advertising. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking free advertising is going to do everything you want for your online business.

From a long term strategy using free advertising such as article marketing and blogging is a good idea. This is a good way to utilize search engine optimization and develop backlinks to your website.

Over the years the more of these you have pointing back to your site the more potential traffic it can lead you. This is true even when you are not actively marketing your business.

The downside of free advertising is it takes a while for it to kick in. To become more profitable quicker you need to be generating traffic and making more sales.

The fastest way to do this is to do some types of paid advertising. The key to making this work for you is to set aside a budget that you're willing to spend on advertising and marketing every month and then stick with it.

Many people take a throw mud at the wall and see what sticks approach when promoting their business. Trial and error is not necessarily the best way to do this because you may run out of money before you find a successful advertising strategy.

One good approach is to take some free advertising and mix paid advertising into it. For example if you like article marketing you can hire someone to write and submit your articles for you. You can even purchase a submission service to speed up the process.

Neither of these need to cost much yet you are taking a free advertising strategy and adding a business expense to increase your profits.

2. Know what is working. The only way to do this is to track the different types of advertising and see the results are getting.

You can do this on your web pages by adding analytic code to them so you can check your statistics. You can also view statistics provided to you by the advertiser you are using such as article directory stats.

The important thing is that you spent some time analyzing how your money is being spent for the return you are getting. This way you can zero in on what is working and do more of that to increase your online business profits faster.

This blog is built on Blogger. They allow you to either choose a template (which this is) or design your own. Then you can hide all the blogger info in the URL if you are mirroring your own domain, which I did. But I abandoned this blog a while ago since I closed my business. :( Kept the posts up though since they are full of good resources for people starting their own business.

Hey Jennifer, I love the idea of a one-piece outfit....I went on the webpage and am having trouble (not sure if its my comp or the site) is the clothing still available?

Hi! Sadly no, I had to shut down this year. I still own the patents though and would love if a big company with wide distribution wanted to take on the idea. I did kill the websites but left them up. Sorry for the confusion.
