Start Your Own Home Internet Business with 7 Steps

Here are the 7 steps to start your home internet business:

1. Identify a product. Joe Vitale is a popular author – he sells a lot of books. So I knew that I was not the only person that would want a few blue bottles. You can do the same thing by staying current with trends and new books, etc. If you find something that you want, but have some difficulty finding it, or finding it exactly like you want it, start thinking about filling that void. It may be a situation like mine where you end up packing and shipping the product yourself or you may find that you can drop-ship it from the distributor or manufacturer.

2. Get a PayPal account. Very simple. Just go to Paypal.com and signup for a merchant account. I already had an order system in place that I plugged in, but, you can just go directly to Paypal from your order page.

3. Setup a web site. You’ll need to purchase a domain name, and a hosting account. These days, most hosting accounts come with a ton of features and options, but stick with the basics.

4. Setup a Google account (if you don’t have one) and setup your site in Google Webmaster Tools.

5. Link to your new site from your other sites (if you have any). Post some valid comments on blogs that allow you to leave a URL with your name. This will help get your site indexed by search engines.

6. Write some articles about your product and put them on your web site. You can create a blog if you want to and put it “under” your site (www.mysite.com/blog) or you can just add more pages to your web site manually and put an article per page. You don’t have to do this, but it will help get traffic from search engines. I’m not going to go into all the whys in this post, but just trust me, it helps.

7. Optimize your site for Search Engines.

The above 7 steps will get you going and get your feet wet. From there, you will be much more comfortable selling other peoples products as an affiliate, or selling “virtual” products that you never see, touch, or handle.
