Here are some quick ways to get started

So you want to be successful online

I can dig that, but there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. First of all you have to do your homework and that means research, get a feel for what’s out there, don’t take shortcuts because it will only cost you wasted time in the long run.

There are several categories in the home business group,

So you need to narrow the choice down to just one category to start with. Concentrate on this category and give it your full undivided attention, a good idea is to look for an established newsletter to subscribe to, you’ll want a newsletter that will give you the information that you require specifically on your chosen category. Here is my suggestion; if you check out the eBusiness Centre you will find experts in all areas in home business, there are 24 leading marketers to choose from and if they don’t cover what you’re looking for then it’s not worth talking about.

Get yourself hooked up to the paymasters

and by this I mean all the must have memberships; for example- PayPal, Google, Clickbank, Amazon, Yahoo, Feedburner for RSS feeds, Article Marketer if you want to write articles. If you’re not already a member of a social network then sign up to at least two or three of the more popular sites like My Space, FaceBook and Digg, a useful place to find all the top social sites are socialmarker.com and socialposter.com these two are particularly useful for posting bookmarks and articles, they will save you a lot of time.

Get a couple of extra email accounts

For all the junk mail- at Google or Yahoo, believe me you will need them, and keep your personal email account personal. Look for a good auto responder service this will be invaluable for setting up newsletters or eZines and is a huge time saver, in fact no self respecting marketer would be without one.

If you join any affiliate program

Stick to it for at least a month and give it your best shot by promoting through articles and blogs as well as emails and social networks. A good place to start promoting and building links and leads is the Leads Leap affiliate web site. Look for a program that has plenty of marketing materials for you to promote the product.

Get yourself into the groove

Practice good habits make a plan of attack and set short term goals and long term goals.

Do not take on too many affiliate programs, start with just one and see how you fair; you will see better results in concentrating your efforts on one venture to start with.

Don’t lose sight of your goals get organised, use the right tools there are an abundance of free resources on the web for you to utilize and make your task easier.

Do not delay or hold back on promoting yourself or your product, the more you delay means less chance of succeeding.

Our time is precious so good time management is a must, try and balance the various demands in your life. Don’t overdo it, get some exercise and take regular breaks or you might end up with an ulcer.

Make use of the many knowledge resources that are available and improve yourself, the more knowledge you possess the more successful you will be.

Do keep up with your friends and family and share your successes with them, they will surely encourage you to new heights.

In the end you reap what you sow, the sense of achievement is a great feeling to have, remember above all enjoy your journey and have fun.
