Typically you will do this with tasks and activities that fall into one or both of two categories. One category is things that you do not know how to do. The other category is the things that you do not like to do, whether or not you already know how to do them. If you are building an internet business, you may not know how to set up a website to build your list and to sell a product. This is a perfect example of something you may need to outsource so that it can be completed quickly and easily. I did this at first, but then learned how to do most of the process myself so that I would not be dependent on others to keep my business running smoothly. Another part of an internet marketing business is keeping track of your sales and tax obligations. Even though I did this for years while I was working in real estate, I now have others who take care of it for me. I no longer look forward to figuring out my quarterly estimated tax payments. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> outsourcing]]> how to outsource]]> make money from home]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

If done correctly, Twitter can help you to increase your visibility, credibility, and your bottom line. In just a short period of time, sometimes in just two to three months, you can become well known in your niche and open up new opportunities in your business. First, you will want to get signed up, upload a picture of yourself, and write a short profile that describes what you do. Include a link to your blog or to a site where people can get an even better feel for what you are doing on the internet and off. Make sure to use a picture that looks like you. The internet is all about transparency, so use a recent picture that shows your features. This is the very first impression people will have of you, so make it a positive one. Include a link to your blog or website, instead of a link to your page on Facebook, an opt in page, or another site. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> how to use twitter]]> build your business with twitter]]> list building with twitter]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

Whenever you purchase something on the internet, it is most likely like you first read a sales letter that was written specifically for the internet. This type of writing is very different from any other. In fact, it is not writing at all. Instead, web sales copy is a persuasive type of selling directed at those who are searching for information online. You can learn to craft sales copy in the same way so that your prospects will be compelled to purchase what you have for sale. One the best ways to reach people is through storytelling. I learned this early on, and it has made a huge difference in my online business. Later on, many of my clients tell me they were so drawn in by my story that they knew they wanted to buy from me right away. Storytelling only works if you are sharing a true story of how you went from where you were to where you are today. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> copywriting for the internet]]> writing web sales copy]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

But did you know that you can actually make quite a bit of money by doing so? I went to a number of seminars and conferences before learning how to turn them into profitable events. Once I learned exactly what to do, I began to make money and find prospects before the event ever began. Now that Twitter and Facebook are used daily by hundreds of thousands of people, you can use someone else's event to promote what you do online even more easily. You will want to start creating a buzz about the seminar or conference you will be attending about one week before it is scheduled to begin. I like to tweet about it, using the hash tag that the event coordinator has assigned to it. A hash tag is simply some letters and numbers that are assigned to your event so that people can follow the conversation and get to know each other before they arrive. You will want to arrive the afternoon before the seminar starts. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> attending live events]]> promoting yourself at a live event]]> profits from seminars]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

In 2005 I made a decision that would change the course of my life in ways I could not imagine at that time. After being a classroom teacher and real estate broker for the previous twenty years, I walked away from it all and began to explore the world of internet marketing. The transition was not a smooth one. I wasn't sure exactly how I would make money on the internet, but it became my passion to learn what I needed to do and how my experience and skills would fit into the grand scheme of things. I found out very quickly that I would need to write if I were to become successful online. Article writing, blogging, and forums were all a part of what I needed to learn. Writing was the one area that I had mixed feelings about. I had written so much during college and right after college, but teachers had told me that my writing was not very good, and I had chosen to believe this. I wanted to change my life so badly that I jumped right in and started writing. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> how to make money at home]]> become an entrepreneur]]> build an online business]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

A blog is a website that consists of posts, arranged in reverse chronological order. People can comment on your posts, and you can provide fresh new content on a regular basis. When I first started blogging I made sure to post something new every single day. As time went on I slipped into only posting a few times each week, and my visitor count went down very quickly. In an effort to revive my blog I started holding blogging challenges, inviting others to also post every day for a month. At the end of the month I would then put their name and the name of their site in one of my posts, giving recognition to everyone involved. There are so many ways to get ideas for what to post about. You can review books on your niche topic, and write about the author and the most important points made in their book. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> business blogging]]> content for your blog]]> get traffic by blogging]]> how to blog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

This concept has been around for several years now, but many people do not fully understand the benefits of writing in this way. After all, if you are truly an expert on your niche topic, you will be able to talk and write about it for hours on end. If you are unable to do this but still care deeply about your topic, make it a point to read and listen to as much information as possible, so that you become an expert. The first thing you want to do is to set up a blog specifically on your topic. When you are setting it up, create categories that will correspond to the chapters of your eBook. This is key to the process and will require time and thinking on your part in order for you to be successful. Post to your blog as often as possible. Pour out all of your information into those posts, assigning each one a category that you have already created. When you have posted about 75 to 100 times, you will have enough content to fill an eBook. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> how to write an ebook]]> blogging your ebook]]> write an ebook]]> business blogging]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

It is not the same as having a list, because the majority of your Twitter followers will not be interested in what you are doing online. However, many people will be responsive to some of the things you are doing, so be sure to include them when you are planning an event or promoting a product or service. You can increase the chances of building a following that is interested in your specific niche by being choosier about who you follow. Look for people who are tweeting about your topic and asking questions about what you know best. You can also look at your closest competitors and see who is following them and who they are interacting with. This is completely ethical because of the transparent nature of social media sites. Be sure to give useful and valuable content in your tweets. You may want to include some information about your personal life, but if you are on Twitter to do business, then you will need to remember that when you are tweeting. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> how to build a list with twitter]]> how to use twitter]]> twitter for business]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

When I first started think about using article writing and marketing as part of my business model, I thought that each article was submitted to an editor, like I used to do long ago. On the internet it is a very different process. Back when I was trying to get my articles published in magazines and journals, I had to follow strict guidelines as to what the topic would be, how many words it could be, and when the issue would appear. Even though the article directories have rules about the minimum word count and the quality of the writing, there is no deadline to meet or editor to tell you that what you wrote was not exactly what they were looking for that month. I keep my articles very short and straightforward, and teach one thing in each of them. I want my readers to go away with another piece of information that will help them in their quest to build an online business. The reading level is something else I take into consideration. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> article writing]]> article marketing]]> how to write articles for the internet]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

I began speaking just three years ago. Every time I speak it gives me another opportunity to perfect my skills just a little more. Here is what I have learned after speaking more than two hundred times in front of groups of fifty to three hundred people. Your audience wants you to succeed. They want to hear what you have to say and get the most out of it. It is your job to deliver good information and involve them in the process. I used to get very nervous during the first five to ten minutes of my presentation, so I developed a technique for calming my nerves during this time. When I would first be introduced I would ask the audience two questions. I wanted them to be able to answer yes to at least one of these questions. Then I asked them to choose a partner and to ask each other another question. By then I would not be nervous any longer and the audience also felt more at ease. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> fear of public speaking]]> how to overcome your fear of speaking]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> You Can become a better public speaker and over come your fear.

It is a fantastic way to connect with people and to reach out to them with the sound of your voice. I am able to answer their questions directly and to fully understand what they need my help with most. It is just not possible to use email and give as much information as you can on a teleseminar. During the summer of 2008 I started using internet radio to reach an even wider audience. I did my first few shows without telling anyone, and when I saw the possibilities I began to share this information with as many people as possible. One of the very best reasons to include internet radio as part of your online marketing plan is because of the search engine optimization opportunities. Your keywords will rank very high when you do a radio segment, enabling even more people to find you on the internet. The format for internet radio is very different than it is for teleseminars. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> internet radio]]> using teleseminars to reach your market]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

The best part is that you do not need a website to start making money. It is also a learning process, so that you can see how other people are running their internet businesses before you get too far along with your own. The first thing you will do is to take a look at whose products and services you have already purchased. Most likely there is at least one that stands out as something you would be happy to promote. Contact the owner and ask about joining their affiliate program. Most of us offer an affiliate program after we have been online for six months or longer. It makes sense to have others promoting your products and services for a percentage of the profits. Then you can purchase a domain name for the exact product or service you will be promoting. Forward the domain name to your affiliate link so that you will receive the credit when someone makes a purchase. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> affiliate marketing]]> make money without a website]]> affiliate marketer]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

They listen to a teleseminar or read an eBook about building an online business, and they begin to have ideas. Once they attend a live internet marketing event they are determined to make their dream become a reality. This is what happened to me in 2005. Once you become more deeply involved in this pursuit, you find out that emailing your list with offers of things to buy will become a crucial part of the business. You will want to offer them courses, programs, and products that will help them to solve their problems. These may be your own products and services, or you may be offering those of others and acting as an affiliate. This is the point at which many of us became discouraged. Some people even give up completely. This is because none of us has a list when we first get started on the internet. Even if we have been online for a few months our list is usually still very small. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> making money on the internet]]> making money online]]> internet marketing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

When I saw my own students struggling with this, it prompted me to create my 5 pronged approach to building an online empire. This 5 prongs represent the five areas that you must focus on to achieve success online. When used simultaneously, these 5 prongs will increase you visibility, credibility, and profitability as you create an online empire. Blogging is the first of the 5 prongs. Your blog is your home on the internet, so you must care for it and maintain it as you would your home. This means that your blog must have a crisp and clean look and feel, and you must also be posting to it regularly. Make sure to include an opt in box so that visitors to your blog can leave their name and email address. If you are willing to post every day for the first 90 days, you will be amazed at what happens to your business. The second prong is article marketing. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> getting started with internet marketing]]> making money from home]]> build an online]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

Whether you have been writing for years or are just starting out on the internet, writing becomes one of the most important parts of being able to find success. An eBook is an excellent way to organize your ideas and create a product that can become the beginning of becoming an infopreneur. Writing an eBook takes some organizational skills and discipline, but most informational eBooks can be written fairly quickly. Choose a topic for your eBook that you are already knowledgeable about, and then do a thorough job of researching that niche. You want to make sure there are enough people who are ready and willing to purchase information on the topic before you spend too much time on it. Finding out what is already available will give you a good idea of what is being offered. Think about how you can improve upon that and offer something even more desirable. Make an outline so that you can divide your eBook up into chapters. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> become an infopreneur]]> writing ebooks]]> how to write an ebook]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

If these are not your strong areas you have two choices; think twice about building an online business, or learn how to make this a part of your life. The choice is yours and the results can change your life. The first thing you must do is to have a family meeting to discuss this with everyone who lives in your home. They need to understand that you will be at work during certain hours, and that this must be uninterrupted time if you are going to be successful. When your family members truly understand this concept, you will be on your way to starting your online business. Now you will need to spend some time researching the different possibilities of working from home. If you have some specialized skills or experience, you may be able to turn this into a home business. Many people working online hire others on a contract basis to perform certain tasks. This is called outsourcing, and can include email, telephone, graphic design, web design and maintenance, article submission, forum posting, and other types of activities. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> home based business]]> make money from home]]> work at home]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

By using the right words in the title of the article and throughout the article, people will be able to easily find you and you will do more business. Article writing and marketing is the fastest and easiest way to get some free advertising for yourself and your business. Keep your articles about three hundred words in length. This will enable you to get to the point and keep the attention of your readers. People who are searching for information on the internet want to be able to read your article quickly to see if they are interested in learning more or want to search for something else. By keeping the word count to a minimum, you will end up with a highly qualified lead if the reader clicks through to your site after reading what you have written. Make a short outline before you begin writing your article so that you will include your key points. This also makes the article flow more smoothly and helps to keep the reader focused. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> article marketing]]> article writing]]> promote your business on the internet]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

We may consider this to be writer's block, but I consider it to be lack of planning. If you plan what you will be writing about before you start to write, the entire process becomes much simpler. This really comes down to setting goals you intend to achieve, as well as time management. Writing is a pleasurable experience for many people, and it is also a way to earn money and build a business for yourself. Take the time to write down your goals for writing, whether you are writing articles, blog posts, short reports, or any other type of writing. Make a schedule for yourself as well, so that you know when you are scheduled to write. I keep a small notebook with me at all times. I have one in my bag, one in my car, and one downstairs at my house. When I have an idea for an article or a blog post, I quickly write down a few sentences so that I will not have to try to remember the idea later. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> writers block]]> overcoming writers block]]> article writing]]> article marketing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

I market myself, my eBooks, and my other information products in many other ways, but writing articles is the way I continue to prosper online. You can build up your credibility and visibility by writing articles in your field of expertise. The more you write, the more you will know about your niche. You can also learn more by reading what other people have to say, and then writing another article to give your perspective and point of view. Writing an article every day is on my schedule. That way I can write and submit my article before moving on to other marketing and business activities throughout the day. If I have some extra time at the end of the day, I always write one more article. This method has served me well, and I now make a very good living online because so many people have read about what I do. You can do the same thing.

Article writing only takes your time and effort, because there are so many article directories where you will be able to submit your articles once they have been written. Begin by making a list of everything you know about your niche topic. Just start writing down your ideas. As you do this you will begin to think of even more that you want to share with others. You may be thinking about turning your information into an eBook or series of audio recordings, but for now just keep writing. Now it is time to turn these ideas into articles. Start with your main idea and write a three hundred word article telling others about that idea. You can write your articles as seven or ten tips, or you can just write two or three sentence paragraphs, like I am doing in this article. Once you have written one or two articles, go ahead and submit them to an article directory. I use Ezine Articles first, because they are the largest free article directory in the world. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> writing articles to promote your business]]> article marketing for your business]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

This is the perfect way to repurpose your content and market your eBook, long before it is completed. There are several ways to do this, but it must all start with choosing a niche and doing your research. You do not want to write an eBook that no one will be interested in buying. That is why you must take advantage of the free keyword tools that are available to you online. Make sure there are people ready to buy the information you will give them in your eBook. If there are already similar products available for sale on the internet, purchase them and think about how you could improve upon what is out there. Next, prepare an outline of exactly what information you want to include. You may need to do some research, so allow time for that as well. Divide your material into chapters. About eight to twelve chapters works well. That will make your eBook about eighty to one hundred pages in length, which is perfect for people who will want to print it out, rather than reading it on their computer. **End Summary** Topics: Connie Ragen Green]]> writing an ebook]]> using articles to write an ebook]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

Even if you have never written before, you can learn to write articles and submit them to the online article directories so that people will find you. Begin by writing an introductory paragraph to tell your readers exactly what you will be writing about. If they are interested in your topic they will read through to the end of the article. Then write several more short paragraphs to tell them the important points about your article topic. I prefer a series of short paragraphs to a bulleted list, because people's minds are trained to skip over lists of items for the most part. You want readers to feel like they got good information b reading what you write about in your article. Using your article to market your own products or services or those of others you are an affiliate for can be very rewarding. In the resource box of your article you will include an invitation to visit a website or blog where the reader can find out more. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> article writing]]> article marketing]]> build your own business online]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

Think of every article as another valuable asset in your tool chest as you begin to build your online empire. The majority of my articles are about the work I do online, including teaching others how to write eBooks, blog posts, and special reports, as well as how to use the technology needed to be successful online. Every time I write an article about one of these topics, thousands of potential readers have the opportunity to visit my site and connect with me further. The other articles I write are used strictly to market someone else's products or services, so I receive affiliate commission when someone reads my article and then makes a purchase. Article marketing is the best way to make affiliate commission, and I have done extremely well with this method for about two years now. Marketing your articles needs to become part of your daily routine. I schedule time to write articles about the products and services I want to promote, whether they are mine or someone else's. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> article writing]]> article marketing]]> internet marketing]]> affiliate programs]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

Even though I continue to build my own online business, affiliates account for almost half of my income. Many people are doing even better than I am with this, but I will tell you what is working for me. I started making money from affiliate marketing before I had a website or a list. I was completely new to internet marketing, and just needed to make some money to pay for the expenses of having a shopping cart, hosting a blog, and getting some training. Article writing and marketing looked like something I could do, so I found a product on training your Yorkshire terrier and decided to promote it. I have a Yorkie and other small dogs, so I knew I could come up with ideas on a regular basis that would be of interest to other small dog owners. At the end of each article, in what is referred to as the resource box or author's bio box, I would tell readers how they could find out more, and included my affiliate link. **End Summary** Topics: connie ragen green]]> article writing]]> article marketing]]> promoting other people's products]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.

By starting a blog on your niche topic and using your keywords in your domain name, blog title, and blog posts, people will be able to find you quickly and easily when they are using the search engines. Especially if you are just starting out online, you will build your business faster by posting to your blog as often as possible. Have fun with your blog. Include helpful and useful information on your topic, but also give people an opportunity to comment on your posts and to be a part of an interactive conversation. This will make them more likely to visit again or to subscribe. Planning your posts at least a week in advance will make your blog more organized. I like to write down what I will be posting about and then make some notes. That way, when I am ready to write my post, it will be completely researched and ready for my readers to take advantage of. Providing solid, well thought out information will help you to get noticed more easily. Read and subscribe to other blogs in your niche. **End Summary** Topics: Connie Ragen Green]]> blogging]]> building your own business]]> guest bloggers]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed.
