One Secret
That They Will Never Reveal To You
by: Arun Pal Singh
You want to start
a business and you look for opportunities or already have one
to promote. You search for options and numerous appear. Everybody
is so eager to tell you his secret. Each of them seems to hold
a magic wand that will scale your business to new unimaginable
heights.
You are tempted.
After all they are internet gurus. You buy the offer. Do you
get something that you expected? Nope.
You can go on buying
those secrets. Some of them could be helpful in understanding
the internet and changing your outlook but none of them holds
the magic wand that will boost your site traffic or bring you
the phenomenal sales you expect to cash when you buy ‘the secret’.
You try next and you are committing same mistake. Why?
Because they will
never tell you this secret- “There is Actually NO Secret”. You
can work well without those so called secrets people want to
take off their chest for a small (Is that small?) money from
your pocket.
Whatever new revelation
they might announce, basic rules of the game stay same. Those
can be learnt without a dime.
For a business
you need a product, a site that will sell that and promotion
of your website or product. As for as product is concerned there
is no magical product. One needs to search his market and choose
his product whether it is his own product or an affiliate program.
A website hosting
is available for a small price or even free though later option
is not desirable if you are in business. Website can be developed
easily with WYSIWYG editors like FrontPage. You will require
HTML later but that can be learnt on the way.
Now we come to
traffic. It is arena where most of the secrets are being claimed
and each one comes with a unique theory. So many that mind boggles
where to start. Again concentrate on the basics. Finesse will
come along as you learn.
One needs to understand
the web a bit.
Traffic or visitors
to your site would come when they can find a link to your site
until your site is as famous as Yahoo or Google. But then you
won’t need either those secrets or this article. More the links
pointing to your site more visitors you will have. Where to
install those links and how.
Install where potential
visitors already visit. Where?
People looking
for anything would use search engine invariably. It would be
so good to submit your site to search engine and get listed
in top. Sounds good but there are so many others doing the same.
You have got bleak chances unless your product is unique.
Other method is
to pay the search engine and get a priority listing. Still competition
is high and so is the price. You will get the visitors and a
dent in your pocket. But if you have a budget this can be tried.
But again this is not so effective in the long run.
There is way to
circumvent this. Search engines index the sites and rank the
sites according to links pointing to the site and content of
the site. They crawl the web and find the links to your site.
Higher the number of links pointing higher your rank. Higher
rank means better chances of getting traffic.
Links again! How
do you get links?
There are many
good methods. Write articles and let article sites publish them.
Resource box containing your link will give you enough links
to your site all over the web. Join forums and contribute to
the discussion. You sig file will again leave good links.
People reading
articles or visiting those forums will visit you. Search engines
would notice them.
Publish a free
e-book with cleverly incorporated links and let others use on
their sites. You are automatically linked back.
Finally exchange
links with the willing relevant partners. But choose your partners
carefully. Search engines are smart enough to differentiate
between good and bad links. Bad links are actually detrimental.
Internet is numbers
game altogether. Everything you do should build that number
of links. That is the secret around which every ‘magic secret’
revolves.
So it is time for
work. Everything that needs to learn is always available in
articles, free reports or forums. Just a bit of search on your
part and every ‘How to…’ can be learnt.
Be patient. Like
everything net business also needs time. There is nothing magical.
As you grow and learn you will understand finesse.
Just don’t expect
any more secrets. Because there won’t be. Except for the hard
work on your part.
Stop wasting your
money. Remember! Nothing happens overnight.
