There are plenty of great internet marketing tips on blogs and other sites all over the web, and it’s probably impossible to say what the “best” tip is. The title of this post is mainly for dramatic effect. But with that being said, there’s no doubt the internet marketing tip I am going to share in this post is a darn good one!
So, what is it?
Simple…
Remember every day that TODAY is your GREATEST day!
That simple little tip will undoubtedly improve your internet business on a day-to-day basis. It will also improve your life overall.
Every single day when you wake up and throughout the entire day, you need to remember that today is the greatest day you have. It is a gift to you, that’s why they call it the “present” — and nothing else matters. Today is your chance to make a difference in your life and the world around you. Today is the day you can make your internet marketing business better and take steps toward reaching all of your goals.
Anything that happened or didn’t happen yesterday is in the past and there’s nothing you can do about it now, so don’t waste another minute of your life worrying about it. And whatever might happen tomorrow is a complete mystery and ultimately out of your control. Tomorrow is not promised today.
You can only control what you are doing right now, today. That’s why today is the greatest day you have. You are alive and you have the power to work towards building a brighter future for you and the people you love most. With an internet business you can control your own destiny and become as successful as you want to be, but you must do what needs to be done today without worrying about things you cannot control.
So make sure you never waste a single day of your life. Today is a gift given to you by the universe or higher power. You can either throw that gift away or use it to better your business and life. Use what you have today to build your internet marketing business.
That’s why this is such an important internet marketing tip and life tip in general. Today is the greatest day of your life because you have the ability to shape this day. The same can’t be said of any other day — past or present. So be sure to make the most of it and use today to improve your internet business and help bring positive change to the world.

Okay, so just about everyone in the world knows by now that it’s possible to make money online as an internet marketer, and a lot of it. So there are a lot of people starting internet marketing businesses on a daily basis, but a very big problem many internet marketers have is that they waste a lot of time when they think they are “working” but really aren’t. Take a long hard look at your daily routine and see just how much time you waste.
Obviously if you are an internet marketer then you spend your days online. That means there are about a million distractions always right there just waiting for you and it’s the number one reason why most internet marketing business owners waste a lot of their time not actually working. You can easily click away from whatever you should be working on to get on social sites, play games, watch videos, instant message people, or do just about anything else.
Another reason why many internet marketers waste a lot of time is because they are working at home. This means they have family, friends, pets, and all sorts of other things around to distract them. You’re wasting a lot of time if you are sitting there talking with your friends or whatever else when you are supposed to be working on your business.
Also, how many times per day do you check your email? How many times every day do you check your various stats? How many times do you get on facebook or twitter? How much time do you spend reading forums and blogs every day? How often do you get distracted by news? How much searching for all sorts of different things do you do every day? Okay I could go on and on but I think you get the point. Doing those things might be a very small part of an internet marketing business but they certainly aren’t the tasks that are paying your bills! You need to be writing content, building backlinks, researching niches, utilizing various marketing strategies, creating new sites, and other stuff along those lines if you truly want to successfully make money online.
So, you need to be honest with yourself if you truly want your internet marketing business to make money. Look at how much time you are wasting every day and you might be shocked at how much it really is. Now you should take the necessary steps to eliminate the reasons why you are wasting all that time. There’s no doubt that focusing a lot more and wasting less time will help make you a much more successful internet marketer.

There’s no arguing that blogging is definitely one of the best ways to start an internet marketing business and make money online. But you can’t think about blogging like you do when creating an information product where you plan to sell as many as possible as quickly as you can then move on to creating something else. Blogging online is a lot like publishing a magazine or newspaper offline. You’re creating an internet business and hopefully a loyal following that will visit your blog on a regular basis. These visitors will make money for you by purchasing products through your affiliate links, clicking on your ads, or doing whatever else is needed in order for you to make money from your blog.
If you work to get high search engine rankings and build a large readership, you can make money blogging — A lot of it! This is not going to take place over the next month or two. Building a successful blog is more like a six to twelve month strategy. But you’re building an asset that will continue to earn money for you well into the future, and the rewards are more than worth the effort.
The topic you choose for your blog is actually very important. It’s not just matter of throwing up a blog on anything and making money from it. You need a topic that has a good market of people on the internet interested in it and has profit potential. That means it has a market of buyers and there are affiliate products, CPA offers, Google ads, etc… That your visitors will take action on so that you can make money from all your hard work.
Here are a few steps that will help you in finding a profitable topic (niche) for your blog.
1) If you can find on a topic that you already know a lot about or at least that you are interested in learning more about, and it has profit potential, then you will be far ahead of most people. Knowing a fair amount about a topic helps in multiple ways. For one thing, you won’t have to do nearly as much research and it will be a lot easier to keep your blog updated. Also, you can usually tell by the way someone writes if they actually know what they are writing about or if they had to look it up. Their words have that ring of truth and experience that even the best researcher can’t fake.
Even more importantly is that a blog is not a short term thing. It’s a longer term deal that you will be writing on for a very long time. If you do it right, you are going to be “living” with your blog every day, and hopefully earning a living from it. Unless you are really interested in your topic and knowledgeable about it, you could easily get sick of your blog very quickly. That would cause you to slow down on your content writing or quit altogether, which will result in your blog going down the drain quickly
2) Make sure you do your homework before diving in. You can use Google’s external keyword tool to get a feel for how many times per month a certain keyword phrase is searched. Another thing you need to do is to check out who’s advertising in your niche. Having a number of advertisers is good. No advertisers or only a few advertisers doesn’t necessarily mean your niche is untapped. Most likely it means that your niche is not profitable for some reason. You don’t want an overabundance of competition to the point where it will be extremely hard for your blog to compete, but some competition is healthy because it typically means there’s money to be made.
3) Make a list of all the top to mid-range keywords in the niche you chose and build your blog to be optimized for them. You should also write your blog posts around these keywords. You can easily search engine optimize (SEO) a blog post by including the keyword phrase you want to rank for in your title, the first sentence of the post and sprinkled throughout the post content.
If you follow these three simple things, you will already be off to a great start and on the path to make money blogging. Skip them and you could be in for a lot of wasted time and no income from your blog. Now, get out there and start blogging!

To build a successful internet marketing business you need to have specific goals and a business plan that will ensure you successfully complete those goals. You’ll also need to obtain the knowledge, skills, and tools required to build a successful internet business. Just about every internet marketer knows that but many of them aren’t really sure what the true pillars for internet marketing success are.
There are actually 4 strong pillars for internet marketing business success and they are discussed below…
1) Focus on Your Customers
Successful business owners all over the world know that their customers are the most important part of their business. That is no different with an internet business. So, one of the first things you need to do in order to become a successful internet marketer is to become customer focused. Never forget that your customers are how you make money. Without them buying your products and services you don’t have any money coming in.
This still applies to you even if you are an affiliate marketer or don’t actually promote any products at all. Your website visitors become the “customers” who click your ads or do whatever else is needed to make money for you. Your customers literally hold your future in their hands as far as your income is concerned. Make sure you are focusing on making your customers happy so that they will lead you to internet marketing success.
2) Multiple Income Streams
Another internet marketing business success pillar is to have multiple income streams so you are spreading your earnings out between several sources. The internet is constantly changing and something that is making you a lot of money today could be gone tomorrow. If you had all your money coming from that one source then you would be screwed! Plus, having multiple streams of income usually means that you will make more money overall. Therefore, you need to be sure you make money from several different income streams.
With that being said, you also need to remember not to spread yourself too thin. If you try to do too many things at once then you won’t get far with any of them. Keep a healthy balance between having multiple streams of income but not so many that you aren’t earning money from any of them.
3) Affiliate Program
Most internet marketers either have their own product/service or they plan to have one in the future. If this is part of your internet marketing business plan then you need to have a strong affiliate program to go along with it. You definitely shouldn’t overlook the power of an affiliate program. When other people (affiliate marketers) help sell your products/services for you then you are able to make much more money than you would ever be able to on your own, and a lot faster.
4) Networking
One of the strongest pillars for building a successful internet Marketing business is to network with other online business owners in your niche. Yes, you can build your internet business all alone but networking with other internet marketers will make it much easier to succeed and to reach a higher level of success than you could on your own. Take some time each day to network with other internet marketers and professionals in your niche market. Two of the the best places to do this are forums and blogs.
Okay, now you have 4 pillars for internet marketing business success. Follow these simple tips and they will work wonders for helping you make money online!

Being the owner of an home business is usually a great feeling and something to be proud of. However, there are also times when it can be a nightmare. Every internet business owner wants to be successful. If you don’t then you shouldn’t even be in business for yourself. But success doesn’t always happen the way it’s planned, if at all. It’s very tough when things don’t go as planned. But there are a few very common reasons why your internet business might not be successful.
Here are 3 possible reasons why your internet marketing business is as successful as you would like it to be….
1) You aren’t treating it like a real business.
Far too many internet marketers tend to treat their internet businesses like a hobby. Then when they don’t ever achieve any real internet marketing success they blame everything and everyone but themselves. If you want to have success online then you better be working just as hard as you would with an offline business. You won’t become successful at internet marketing if you are only putting in minimal effort. You need to treat your internet business like a real business and work hard to build it.
2) Spreading yourself too thin
Another big reason why many internet marketing businesses fail, which could also be the case with yours, is that you are spreading yourself too thin. That means you are trying to do too many things at once to make money online. It’s best to focus on just one or two money making methods and devote yourself to them until you are earning a good income from them. As you get more experience and more efficient at internet marketing, you can spread out a little more.
You need to refrain from jumping around to all the “latest and greatest” ways to make money online that come out every other month. Most of them are pure crap anyway! You need to stay focused and not allow yourself to get distracted by everything else going on in the internet marketing world. There’s always going to be a new program, system, product, or whatever else promising to be the holy grail of making money online. Just stick with one thing at a time and make sure you do it well before worrying about anything else. You can move on to another method once you have mastered the first one.
3) Not truly believing you can do it
This is often a very big reason why many people fail with their internet business and not many people even realize how important it really is. If you want to succeed with anything whether it’s an internet business or something else in your life, you first have to believe you can do it. If you don’t truly believe that you will succeed then you will certainly fail.
Your mindset is extremely important so make sure you always have a positive attitude about your business and believe in yourself. That belief will help you work hard and it will ensure that you don’t give up until you’ve achieved internet marketing success. Don’t just think you’ll be successful. Don’t just hope you’ll be successful. You must KNOW you will be successful. And you will be!
These are 3 very big reasons why your internet business might not be succeeding. Make sure you take care of these things right away and you will see how positively it impacts your internet marketing business efforts.
