All you need for starters is a computer an internet connection and a host to host your websites and Bob is your uncle.

So how and where do you start? Well good question since there is a ton of free information on the Internet how and where to start your own business online.

To help you over that hurdle of being drowned in information and to make a wise choice saving you time and research. Just do yourself a favor and visit sitesell.com. Now Dr. Ken Evoy has put it all together in one neat package. With that said is that he has incorporated everything from designing your own website and marketing it online through search engines plus using social media to leverage traffic effectively. His business package is a living example of people doing business online making a lot of money. If I would have been started out and I would have known about sitesell.com I would have go for it big time because really sitesell.com has what it takes to make it online.

Now there is no point for me to join sitesell.com since I have learned the hard way over twenty years of marketing on the web what work and what don't work and doing basically what sitesell does.

OK lets talk about my experience what I have found giving results and make some money.

Start your own email newsletter.

Benefit: The more popular your newsletter become the more subscribers you gain which eventually become your customers to whom you can market over and over again since they trust you. There is nothing that work so good as having a mailing list of eager customers.

A few short notes to start and run a newsletter - email and or as a website.

Here is a complete quide to e-zine publishing.

http://www.webmaster-resources.com/articles/ezinepub.shtml

a) I for instance I had a newsletter about authors to list their articles, ebooks with article sites etc. published weekly. I have drawn up a standard template, which I used over and over just replacing the information weekly and emailed it. Outlook Express has a BCC field to mail mass mailings as well as Eudora, which I have used for many years and it is free.

b) How do you get subscribers? Fork out a few Dollars to place an advertisement in newsletters with a large amount of subscribers, works perfectly, try directoryofezines.com, shows you all the demographics exactly what you need to learn where to spent your hard-earned dollars for maximum benefit. Once you have worked up a number of subscribers is to do ad swaps also works well. Then to list your newsletter with newsletter directories, run a search and you will get a ton of places to list mostly for free.

c) Setup a website with a subscribe form seen it many times and it works depending on how many visitors your site receive. So how do you promote your website? Through search engines that is Google, Bing and Yahoo and for the rest well they are no match to the big guys of which Google is king. Obviously you need to optimize your website as good as you can by doing keyword research. I have been using Goodkeywords for years with great results and it is free, also contain a link to the Google keyword search option. There is also wordtracker the popular one. For maximum effect put your keywords in the title, description and sprinkle it throughout the body content. Search engines work on two elements to index and position a website. One is the information on the site itself for indexing purposes and the other element is incoming links. The more sites that link to you the higher you rise in the search results.

Note: You see your level of success depends on one thing whether it is placing an ad, wording your email newsletter or writing copy for your website is to learn how to effectively do copy writing. With that said is you need to please your visitor as well as make your stuff search engine friendly. Enough said learn from copyblogger.com how to craft headlines that influence the reader to want more.

Since it is getting tougher by the day to be seen in Google. Forget about the rest you will find that Google deliver just about all the traffic. Wonder how many millions of websites are being added to the Internet daily which makes it more and more difficult to gain and maintain a high position, cause if you do not appear on the first page you have basically wasted your time since very few people surf further than the first page.

d) Articles: Boy this has and will in my opinion keep on working for time to come bringing traffic to a website. Now what you read here is exactly what my new attempt is to make money online is to group a bunch of articles and blast them to the social media sites. Now what are on everybody lips is Facebook and Twitter, can bring in a huge amount of traffic. What about Technorati, Digg, Stumbleupon, Delicious, Propeller just to name a few. These sites will eventually count for most of your website traffic and create high page rank backlinks. List your articles with article directories ideamarketers.com, ezinearticles.com etc.

e) Launch an ebook going viral: Free if you like, where to download a free ebook compiler, free download AOLPRESS use as a HTML editor to make HTML documents or websites what you need to compile an ebook. Go to jansfreeware.com to download Sbookbuilder. Give it away for free or sell it on clickbank.com. List with free ebook directories, getfreeebooks.com, free-ebooks.net, ideamarketers.com, if liked can spread like wild fire on the Internet bringing in tons of traffic. From all the tons of ebooks about internet marketing online does this one stand out head and shoulders. Best marketing ebook I've seen buzzblogger.com I think you need to subscribe to her newsletter but that is OK.

I'm a webmaster and developer. This also works well is to create software programs to either sell as above or give away for free again bringing tons of traffic, list with upload.com also your ebooks can be listed here for downloading. Your ultimate business success will depend on the amount of traffic you work up to your website.

What else can you do to make money from all the traffic is to join an affiliate program. I have been with an online casino group for twelve years and made some serious money depending on my traffic. Don't waste your time with small commission programs, CASINOS pays the best up to 40% now that is money. Check associateprograms.com leader in the field of affiliate programs. Become active in forums affiliate-talk.com, best on the net Warrior Forum

f) Setup a blog: Blog is same as a website. Do it for free with wordpress.com or Googles blogger.com Promotion same as with a website, search engines and social media, commenting on other blogs, participating in forums. warriorforums.com, ping your blog on each update to the blog directories googleping.com

Other marketing methods with so so results but do have merit is placing free classifieds, classifiedsforfree.com, newsgroups, lots on the Internet like alt.business etc. can bring in a lot of traffic.

So there you have it a business plan that work and have been tested and proven by many online marketers, there is room for a lot more people on the web since the world is a big place with lots of opportunities.

Good luck and may your internet experience be a happy one.
