Hi BBHF folks,


I'm sure that most of the beginners are confused about this subject. I wanted to share what I've got in my mind and start a discussion on this less spoken commonly experienced issue. Please share your opinion and lets enrich each other.


I'm just a newbie internet marketer but as a general rule, to get
successful at any business, someone should hunt the devil in the
details. Therefore you need to know your thing very well.



My approach to information and internet marketing as well, is too build
your own knowledge over time, adding newly learned ideas, modifying
existing ones and removing the parts which are not working. Being open
minded while utilizing a healthy doubt and always put the
information/techniques to test and measure them in the jungle. Reality
comes before ideal, so most failure comes from your mistakes and lack of
adapting to the reality you can not bend.



As what I can see from my standpoint, making a living via internet
marketing is a long term slowly developing and exhausting process. As
you need to master, and/or co-operate with people who has mastered some
parts of the system.



List of what needs to be covered :

- Finding markets and exploitable niches

- Keyword analysis, finding untapped monetizable word phrases

- Finding/creating related products

- Competition analysis of top rankers

- Creating satisfying and converting content

- Correct link building and adapting to canging google policies and algorithms over time

- Driving traffic from other resources.



I bet this is not all :)



I read some stories of people who finally succeeded on the internet.
Most of them could not make even a little income for their first several
years until they saw the big picture.



For me there's a dilemma to be solved here. To make a good income i feel
the need to cover lots of niches. And the content should be good
quality. Then you need to do the SEO and the other traffic generation
work. Which are all hard work and will consume so much time that you
won't be able to afford as a single person. You're at your own, your
time, abilities, and effort is limited.



There are two solutions I can see to solve this issue: Cheating your way
up with automated software using blackhat techniques and cooperating
with others. I personally decided to go a grey path and cooperate with
people or hire people when necessary. I'll use blackhat as long as it
doesn't harm the user experience or lower the quality of my content.

Yes, it is. The last part is monetizing. Just clone what big sites do. But it is hard and need time.
