My Own Foray Into Internet Marketing

Many articles around the web talk about how to do this and avoid that in Internet marketing. But here, I\’ll be talking about my own experiences. Why? To give you an idea on how to start your own business. It really doesn\’t take much. All you need is a passion, a dedication and hard work. You don\’t need to be a genius (which I am not) to be successful. And before anything else, make sure you have your own computer and Internet connection.

I mentioned about having a computer and an Internet connection, I wasn\’t joking. You see, I\’ve met quite a few who happen to dabble in Internet marketing even though they don\’t have their own computer. They visit Internet cafes to get their jobs done. It might work, but you won\’t be able to focus your attention on the business at hand. And as we all know, whatever business we get into, we must pour our attention to it lest it fails. Whether it be a small mom n pop store, or a huge family empire, if you don\’t pay attention to it, it will fail.

When I started out, I was doing photography for a clients. I did weddings, pet portraits, fashion and commercial shoots and basically whatever the clients wants me to do. I never once marketed myself though so as you can figure, the projects were few and far between. As I learned about Internet marketing, I finally found a way to finally make my brand known. But first things first, I needed to focus on a single aspect of my work. So I sat down and though about it. Out of all the stuff that I do, which among them was I most passionate about? Where I can say I am most expert at? Turns out it was portraiture.

So I decided on weddings and portraiture. Now, weddings may not be strictly portraiture, but it was close enough so I decided to add it. But I focused mainly on portraits. So what I did was setup a website, added content into it, then started doing SEO, or search engine optimization, work on it as well as social media. Sure enough, after a few weeks, the number of clients I had more than doubled. At the rate I am going, I figure that in another 6 months, I can probably forego any other work I am doing and just focus on my photography.

So there you have it, My own personal experience in having an online business. Now, it is service based and I do go to the field, but the way I did was through the Internet. So if you think you have what it takes to earn your fortune in Internet marketing, I say go ahead. I am by no means a genius, but I do know what I know and I stuck to it with a passion. All you need is to find your passion, stick to it, follow the rules of Internet marketing and you will reap what you sow in due time.
