To get started you will first need to have good quality content on your  website.  That means you will need to create article related to your site subject.  If your site is about growing flowers then you need to write article about growing flowers, fertilizer for the flowers, how to care for the flowers, etc.  While creating the articles you need to decide first on the title of the article you will write about because this is where you will start to use your keyword terms to help drive traffic.  Once you have a title for an article then you need to think of a keyword phrase or terms that you think people who search for your site will type in.  It’s a good idea to have about 3 or 4 keyword terms for each article you write.  Once you have the keyword terms then try and incorporate them into your title somehow.  For instance if your keywords are (the best fertilizer, tips for growing flowers, and caring for your flowers) then an example of a title would be “Growing and Caring For Flowers Using The Best Fertilizer.”  This title includes all of your keyword terms in it.

The next thing to do is start to write your article using your own words to create unique quality content.  Use your expertise in the field that you are writing about to come across credible to your potential readers.  While you are writing keep a mental note of your keyword terms so that you can  incorporate them into the article.  It is a good idea to use each keyword term at least two to three times in the article so that search engines can see that the content of the site matches what a searcher is searching for.  If there is a description field then be sure to describe you site or article and uses your keywords in the description as well.  The key is to create as many articles as you can related to all of the subjects you can think of about your site.  There is many niches that a site subject can be broken down into.  So write as much as you can, but to get you started I would suggest that you write a minimum of 5 articles for your website.

Once you have written your articles now you need to get whats called  backlinks to you site and articles.  A back link is an incoming link where a site other than yours links to your site.  A site linking to yours is like a vote of confidence from the web community saying that your website is good enough to stand with other reputable sites.  Not all backlinks have the same weight though.  Backlinks from sites with high page ranks are favored by Google and they will help to raise you page rank and once your page rank starts to grow your site will skyrocket up the search engine rankings to the first page where all of the free incoming traffic comes from.  To get a backlink from a high page rank site you need to locate these sites.  Social bookmarking sites like Digg and Technarati are high ranking sites that if you join them they allow you to bookmark a link back to your site on from theirs.  When Google sees these links they count them as a vote for your sites popularity and your website moves up the search engines.  This also brings you free traffic from anyone that sees your website link and clicks on it from these sites.  Another way to get the back links is by using social media sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter to create a backlink.  You can post a link to your website on you profile for each or these and these links will be found by Google and move your search engine ranking up more.  Plus these will give you free traffic from friends as well.  With Twitter it’s good to tweet a link for every article you post on your site to drive traffic and give you a link to your site.  Another way to get high page rank backlinks is to go to article submission sites and sign up.  Sites like EzineArticles and GoArticles will allow you to write articles for their website which can be linked back to your site.  Write about 5 different short articles about your site for each of these and link back to your site linking your keyword phrases to your site.  This will give you a link back to your site for each article you write and will also help to boost your search rankings and anyone who reads your article may click the link to your sites and send you free traffic.  All of these ways will yeild you substantial results if followed and you can check your site ranking using your keywords periodically to see the progress your site makes based on your keyword terms.  A good bonus for all websites is that even though you have targeted certain keywords for rankings, a site with a lot of content will always rank good for other keywords that you will not even know you are ranking for.  This is because the more content you have on your site the more there is a chance that some combination of words that are being searched will yield a result that will send you traffic especially if those terms rank in the top 3 results on Google search engines.  That is a great bonus for all of the hard work you put into building your site.  So repeat these step for every article or post that you do for your site and you will see that before long you will rank on the first page of Google for each and every one of your keywords and webpages.

Link postings are a great way to earn some extra cash.  If you have a website that see’s a minimum of about 50 visitors to one particular page then I would suggest that you use Google Adsense to earn extra cash on your website.  You will receive google link posting money for every time that someone visits your site and clicks on one of the Google sponsored ads or links that are showed on your site.  You will also earn money from page impressions.  Page impressions work best when your site has at least 1000 or more visitors daily because you are paid based on how many visitors the ads are shown to.  The money you can make from Google will vary based on your site’s popularity and the amount of traffic that you can monetize from your blog.

There has been a google link posting scam going around.  The scam tells you that you can work for google and have a Google link posting job.  Well the Google link posting jobs that they talk about do not exist.  There is no application to fill out or interview that Google will call you to come for.  So there is no need to update your resume just yet.  So posting link on Google is not something that you should be trying to get a job doing.  What you need to do to start to earn money from Google is do a Google search for Google Adsense and go to the website and read all about the program.  If you this seems like something that you would like to try to do then go for it.  Posting link for google is however the top money making program online.  Everyone from CNN to MSN is making money from Google links or ads running on their sites.  That means that posting links for Goole is a viable source of online income and it is not a scam you just need to understand what it is and what it is not.  If someone is asking you to pay for a link posting system then it is a SCAM.  Google Adsense is absolutely FREE to sign up for and start posting those links.

There is no worse feeling than having your boss call you into his office to thank you for the great job you have been doing bringing the company thousands of dollars in everyday.  When he gives you your bonus from all of the hard work and it’s a measly $50 for bringing in $60,000+ dollars into the company for one month then you will see the rewards are no the same as if you have your own business.  With your own business all of the profits are strictly yours.  There is no one who can fire you if you don’t make your sales for the month.  This gives you a sort of security blanket that others that work for someone else wont have.   And knowing that it’s yours means that you will work harder to maintain what you have.

Managing your time is very important because not all things will need to be done at the same time because not all work tasks are equal.  Shipping an order to your customer is more important than cleaning your office space.  There are so many distractions that keep you from focusing on the most important day to day tasks that can really float or sink your boat.  You need to decide what things are more important and tackle those things first and then work on the next important things until you have it narrowed down to the least important things.  A business is an entity  because it exists with a life of its own.  You have to manage that life and guide it in the right direction.

Time management means filing invoices and other paperwork and not spending an hour a day looking at stats for how many visitors you have.  It means ordering and picking up supplies as opposed to playing online games or socializing for hours online on social network sites.  Time management means jotting down your list of things to do each day and not just trying to remember what needs to be done and when.  Time management is important to any business whether online or a brick and mortar storefront.  These principals are pretty much universal.  And if you want to be a success online business owner then you will have to adapt and implement a vast array of time managing techniques that will help to guide you through your day to day tasks.  Stay focused on the work that needs to be done and keep distraction as far out of sight and reach as you can.  If there is something in close proximity that distracts you and consumes your time then move it out of site.  If the earge comes to be distracted just remind yourself what is more important and what your overall goal is that the distraction will hinder you from reaching.  Follow these guidelines and you will succeed much faster than you would without them.
