OK, we don’t know if it was the chicken or the egg that came first.
And internet marketing is a lot the same.
There are so many things to do.

Internet Marketing: What Should Come First?
Tips For Earning Money With Affiliate Products
Selling affilate products and earning a commission on each sale sounds like a good idea. But how can you do it?
Surely if the product is successful the product owner would be making all the sales?
Well, no, actually. From big products like Windows and Coca Cola downwards, almost every company uses other people to sell their products/
The main difference with affiliate marketing is that unlike most shops, you don’t buy or hold any stock. You just get paid a commission as and when you generate a sale.
Using Ready, Fire, Aim in Internet Marketing
Ready, Fire, Aim is the title of a 2008 book by Michael Masterson but the idea has been around a lot longer than that and works well. I first encountered it in about 1996 when I was part of an internet marketing message group (before forums came along to the web) run by one of the internet marketing pioneers John Audette.
The book is a good read but you don’t need to wait until you’ve read its 400 pages before putting the ideas into practice.
That in itself is an indication of how you should use the principle of ready, fire, aim.
Getting More Traffic to Your Blog Posts
There’s an easy way to get more traffic to your blog posts that’s often ignored.
It’s those social media buttons that are staring you in the face.
If you haven’t got many followers, using the buttons won’t get you much extra traffic at first.
You may even ask yourself whether it’s worth even spending a few seconds clicking them.
But slowly – which is usually the best way of growing an internet marketing business – you’ll get a few more followers and a few more visitors.

How to Overcome the Road Blocks in Internet Marketing
Road blocks happen in internet marketing just as much as they do on a car trip.
Sure, they may not have a large flashing “detour” sign telling you there’s a detour or that the road ahead is closed.
But they’re there nonetheless.
And, just like a car journey, you need to work round them.
Article Writing for Affiliate Marketers
Is article writing any different for affiliate marketers than it is for any other internet marketers?
Personally, I don’t think so.
The aim of an article is two fold:
- Convince the search engines to put your article high up in the search results
- Convince real people to read your article, click on a link and buy whatever it is you’re recommending
How to Make Money Affiliate Marketing Without a Website
My personal preference with affiliate marketing is that you have a website of your own.
But if that’s not an option yet – maybe because your budget is too small, maybe you think it’s too much hassle to create a website, whatever the reason – here are some ways that you can make money without a website.
Internet Marketing Works with Incredibly Small Numbers
Internet marketing can be profitable with incredibly small numbers. A handful of people per day can pay a nice amount of money.
When print or direct mail were the main ways of finding small, profitable, niches you’d need to find a publication or a mailing list that you hoped might be interested in your topic.
Now, so long as there are a few people in the world who could be interested, you put up a web page and let them find you.
Even if it’s something as obscure as pawology!
