One of the best ways to promote your website online is with articles. These are articles you write and submit them to article submission sites. You include in your article your bio and a link to your website. Article marketing research is your first step. People with websites go to the article directories and pick your articles for content on their websites. So your article is now being distributed around the internet. The time you spent writing the article might have been an hour. But the impact you will have with it will be as long as the internet is in operation.Your article should be between three hundred and five hundred words. It should only whet the appetite of the reader. That is you want to give enough information to entice the reader but not all the information that the reader does not need to visit your website. You want your reader to want more and then click the link to your website. This brings you more traffic. And if you have a contact capturing device on your website you will also be building your mailing list with your article.When you research your article you want to see what is online but you do not want to copy what is online. If your article looks like everything that is already out online, then your article is less likely to get chosen for distribution from the article submission service. Here is a novel idea of how to do your article marketing research. Go to the books in your library. You remember what books are right? Books were those pages of text bound together in one form that people read for information before the internet was invented.So dust those off and open one and do your research. You do not have to start with your books. You can find a topic online you are writing about and start with some basic research. But then find a book in your library or go to the library and find a book on the subject.You do not have to read the whole book. Remember you are writing only a three hundred to five hundred word article. You simply need a page or two of basic information for your article.Then add that to what you have gotten online and you will have an article with information that is new to the online market. Then use your book from your library or from the public library to write more in depth articles for your website. So people will read your teaser article online somewhere, they will want to know more, they will click onto your website and find more information. And then because you are proving to be an expert, they will more likely buy your product.Books are great for article marketing research. And they are great to show that you are an expert in your field. If you can find a book with an expired copyright you can actually copy that whole book right into your website. But you probably want to edit the text to fit your own market and website. So go to your library or the public library and let the research begin.

Doing market research before starting a business is like having an accurate flight plan before you go on a trip. If you don’t have anything planned out there are a whole slew of hazards that can endanger your flight, make it failure and take you somewhere you don’t want to go. Imagine an eager young pilot who wants to get out and be free like the birds but who has no plan. He gets up in the air and immediately has a rush of adrenaline. He’s away from civilization doing his own thing.However that rush soon fades and He finds himself a little lost. He frantically searches for landmarks or cues that will show him where he is. Instead He decides to just keep going in the same direction because he figures he find some city or airport. Unfortunately His freedom is taken right back and he is a slave to his aircraft. He soon begins to run out of fuel and has to make a crash landing. If only he had made a flight plan he could have traveled somewhere exciting. Instead he was just thrilled to be up in the air.So it is with business. Eager young entrepreneurs romanticize about owning their own business so they rush in and find out quickly enough that they’re lost and too far invested to just stop. With a business if you’re just winging it even if by some slim chance you turn a profit you will most certainly end up in a place you don’t want to be. You may even need to make a crash landing by filing bankruptcy. If only you had made a flight plan. If only you had done thorough market research.In this Course we’re going to review the elements of market research as it pertains to creating and profiting from websites based on Amazons Associate program.

People use search engines to find what they’re looking for on the internet. Search engines use keywords to organize the results they deliver to their user. Some keywords are used more than others and therefore it would be very profitable to convince the search engine that you’re worthy to be served up as a website for the higher volume keywords. Why keyword research? If you choose the wrong keywords you wont get any traffic to your website. And in this game traffic=money.2. Why Product Research?After some keyword research lets say you come across the keyword “chocolate candy bar”. The next step would be to check out what products would be relevant. Obviously chocolate candy bars would be a good thing to sell if that was your chosen keyword, however people don’t buy candy bars on the internet. Not only that but candy bars are very inexpensive so even if you were able to sell any each sale would amount to pennies. This is why you do product research. You need to find products that will pay well and that people will buy online.3. Why Competition Research?If you were to pit a mouse and a rottweiler against each other who would you bet on? The obvious choice is the dog. He far out matches the mouse. In one swing the dog could break the mouses neck. When you’re just starting out you want to choose small niches where you’ll be able to reasonably compete. Don’t go after the electronics industry. You’ll go up against behemoths like best buy, circuit city and Walmart. The more narrow your niche market the less competition there will be and because you’re just starting out you’ll want to go small.4. Why Domain Name Research?This is what your website will be known by. You want to make sure you can get a reputable domain extension and a reasonable keyword rich name. Doing proper research on potential domain names can dramatically effect how soon you start to see sales.
