Getting started on the Internet with a niche business can be an exciting way to explore the world of online marketing. There are just a few things you need in order to get started, including a website, an autoresponder service, and a free giveaway to get people to join your list. Let's take a closer look at each one of these elements so that you can get started right away. Once you have chosen your topic, purchase a domain name and hosting. That will allow you to set up a site you own and control, rather than a free one that could be removed at any time. I highly recommend using the free installation of WordPress to set up your site. One part of this site will be your blog, where you discuss your niche topic and share your thoughts and ideas with your readers. Even if you do not like to write you will find that after a month or so of posting two or three times a week you will have found your voice and feel more comfortable. The next step is to get a subscription to a paid autoresponder service so you can send out emails to people who subscribe to your list. This allows you to stay in touch with them for as long as they are on your list. You will find that your subscriber list is one of the biggest assets you have, and that these are the people who are most likely to become your customers over time. Always be honest with them and share your very best content and resources so will get to know, like, and trust you. You must offer a free giveaway to get people to join your list in the first place, and this can be written material, audio, or video. I teach my students to write three articles or blog posts on their niche topic and then combine these into a short report that can be given away. Be sure to have a call to action at the end of your report so you can direct readers to an affiliate product, one of your articles or posts, or to another site that makes sense for what you are sharing. By now you can see that what I am describing here is a simple process, and it is one that works extremely well. Everything can be set up within a one or two day period and then you are ready to start building your online business. Remember that the reason to start an Internet business is to give you the time and money to live the life you choose.
