Internet for a business
Internet for a Business
Many people go online searching for ways to make money. They are looking to the internet for a business that can make an income. Too often they join programs that promise to make them a fortune, with little or no work – but often these are just scams.
Yes, there are people making a lot of money online and there are also people that are making a full-time income, for part-time work.
Sounds great – right? But wait… before we get ahead of ourselves.
There are many more who aren’t making anything. Not everyone is making $1,000’s of dollars a day online. In fact, in truth, only a small fraction of people online, are making over $500 a month.

How to Earn an Extra Income Online
Extra Income means an income that you can earn apart from the regular money you receive from your employment, or what some refer to as, ‘traditional‘ work. This additional income can be used to pay off debts, or build up some cash reserves, or provide additional income security, so you can one day quit your regular job.
Not everyone wants to work a second job, but having a second income, or extra money, is a desire of most people these days.
The Internet
The extra income opportunities available today online, thanks to the internet, means there is a lot of options like writing, marketing and simple technical and non-technical jobs, even income from advertising, which could augment your regular income.
However, there are many things standing between where they are now and the financial freedom they desire. The income that can be earned form these opportunities depends on how good your skills are, in the selected field of endeavor and whether you know how to market those skills.
The Selection Process
In order to achieve a moderate success in generating additional income, one should be aware of their strengths and weaknesses. This would greatly help in the selection of a most suitable way to generate an income online.
The selection process consists of logical steps. Firstly, one should honestly assess their strengths, what are they good at? What do people around them complimenting them on? What is it they like to do?
If you want to create a business online, the name of the game is ‘focus‘ and building ‘quality content‘ in order to attract a following. So you need to be passionate about the topic(s) you choose because readership and comments are going to be important for you business. Particularly if you want to rank well on Google.
Why is Google Important?
Like it or not Google is the most visited website on the planet and therefore the number one search engine and traffic source on the internet.
They are also the second most valuable brand in the world (behind Apple) and have been so for the last five years. Internationally, Google has over 70 offices outside the US. It’s Gmail, for example, is the world’s most popular email service, with over a billion active users (as of February 2016). So rankings on Google are important for any internet based business.
Your URL name is not so important these days. People don’t find you because of the name of your URL or your email address, rather they will find you because of your rank in Google.
So if you are looking to build your business outside of your existing customer base, people who already know your URL, or already know where to find you, then you are going to need search engine traffic.
Google Search
Appropriate keywords or keyword phrases being searched on Google are more important than your URL. So if you are serious about getting ranked, then initially you should focus first on low competition keywords, NOT high volume keywords, as many people recommend because it’s about being ranked in google firstly, then once your have a good ranking, you can work on building volume.
You are better to have five or six page one rankings for lower volume keywords than attempting to get a middle page ranking for a ‘high competition’ keyword.
Peter V Crisp
“Getting ranked in Google is what will bring you free targeted traffic. Having a page one ranking will on average bring you 42% of the traffic going to that specific keyword”.
The more Google likes your site, the higher they will rank you. So if you know how to create quality content then all we need to do is put it in front of ‘organic traffic’. This is traffic that comes from the keywords or phrases you elect to use and those that people are searching.
Don’t Be a Crazy Cat
Don’t be a Crazy Cat
So before you go nutty, like a crazy cat trying to figure out how to rank on Google.
And before you waste more hours and many dollars been misled by so-called online experts, who all too often just want sell you a high priced program that promises you things they can’t deliver.
Let me, make your life a little easier and explain a few things about how to get ranked on Google. Because there are effective ways to get free, targeted, and sustainable visitors to your website, despite the many recent changes within Google.
Without Traffic or visitors to your site, it will not matter how wonderful your talents and skills are, or how good your service or products are if no one can find you. Your business will be dead-in-the-water before it gets off the ground. Remember that only a small fraction of people online are making over $500 a month.
Using Keywords
To have long-term success with your website or blog, there is no better way to get targeted visitors to your site for free, than with ‘organic search traffic’ and with this methodology, you need to focus keywords
To get this free organic search traffic you will need to utilize frequently used keywords in order to rank well within Google because, without keywords, it would be difficult for people searching to find your articles, pages, and posts.
Three Types of Keyword Phrases
Keyword phrases are simply the queries that people type into the likes of Google in order to search for and find whatever they’re looking for. Most people generally split keywords, into two main categories. The head, and the tail. But it could actually be split into three groups. The Head, the Body, and the Tail.
1. Head Keyword phrases are generally just one or two words, that are very popular but often generic terms. An example would be the word, “Marketing”, or “Internet Marketing”, or “Online Marketing”.
These type of Keyword phrases (Head Keywords) are those that have high search volume, which is good in one way, but they are also difficult to rank for.
In the screenshot below, we can see how many results are found by searching in Google using the head keyword phrase, “Internet Marketing”
This tells us that there are over 340 Million results for this particular keyword. But we don’t know whether ranking for it – would be difficult.
In the next screenshot (below) using a keyword research tool, we can see exactly how much monthly traffic the keyword phrase “internet marketing” brings if we got on page one of Google. More importantly, it also tells us how much ‘competition’ there is for that particular keyword phrase.
In this particular, case the KQI is a red dot which indicates there is, very high competition for this particular keyword phrase. – So ranking for this Keyword Phrase would be difficult.
2. Body Keyword phrases are generally two to three words and usually, get searched less than a Head keyword phrase. Examples of Body keyword phrases would be “Internet Marketing Online” or “Online Marketing Tips”.
Again using the same keyword research tool we can see in the screenshot below, that the monthly traffic volume for the body keyword phrase “internet marketing online“ is much less than the Head Keyword Phrase. Yet despite this, again the KQI is still very competitive, another red dot. – So ranking for this Keyword Phrase would also be difficult.
Note also the QSR (which is the number of competing websites) is 410, a little lower than the 500 in the screenshot above, But it is still a very competitive keyword phrase. (So I personally wouldn’t pursuit it).
3. The Tail Keyword phrase (also known as “long tail keywords”) usually contain three or more words and these are usually searched less often than Head and Body keyword phrases. An example of long tail keyword phrases would be “Internet Marketing for Online Business” or “Online Marketing Expert Tips”.
However, these long tail keyword phrases are more likely to have ‘commercial intent’. By commercial intent, we mean it is more likely to convert to a sale because the searcher is being much more specific in their request for information.
Deeper Research
Using the keyword research tool again, we can see in the screenshot below, that the monthly traffic volume for the ‘long tail keyword’ phrase “internet marketing online for business“ is much less (but still good) than the Head and Body Keyword Phrase. However the KQI dot is Green – and this is Great and this is what we are looking for.
Also, the QSR shows us that there are only 187 competing websites for this particular ‘long tail keyword’ phrase and that is way better than the 410 competing websites in the last example.
So the chances of ranking for this keyword phrase is much higher than the Head and Body type keywords, previously examined.
Important to Understand
I want you to understand how valuable this type of keyword research is.
You already know that keyword research is important when deciding on what keywords to use to bring in visitors. But it’s not about the quantity or volume of traffic, as many believe, but rather the quality of the traffic that is far more important.
Having very targeted traffic that takes action, is way better than a ton of traffic with low commercial intent.
The Challenge
The challenge that many business owners have when trying to market online is, How to get visitors to their website?. How to hit the top spot in Google? And of course, understanding the ‘magical‘ process of achieving good rankings for their website.
We said earlier that it’s not the volume of traffic, but the quality of your visitors and if you want your online business to be more profitable. Then this is the type of keyword research you need to greatly improve your chances of generating targeted traffic to your website.
Key Word Research Tool
For more on this type of keyword research and this particular research tool, and see how I get my posts and pages on page one of Google, you can visit my post: Internet Marketing for an Online Business.

Regardless of your preference, there are five things you need to build a successful online business and it all begins by knowing ‘HOW‘ to get…;
- Traffic – a constant stream of targeted action takers.
- Conversion – Repeatedly turning prospects into customers
- List Building – A Responsive database of engaged subscribers
- Scaling – Duplication and automation systems for growing your business
- Your Own Products – Selling these maximizes your profits and attracting affiliates for your business who can then sell for you.
Creating Your Own Products
Most of the big names in the business world make money by creating and promoting their own products. The main reason for this is so that they get to keep a major portion of the profits. And if you are serious about joining these successful people, then you will have to develop your own products as well.
Creating a product to sell online, however, can be a daunting task and successful marketers are constantly having to come up with more and more ways to stay on top of the trends if they want to continue to dominate their marketplace. So this is not something many beginners want to tackle in the beginning stages. So they usually promote other people’s products and service via the affiliate Marketing model.
If you want to create your own products you might enjoy my post; Part Time Work Online
| To see how you can Create your own Products see this post here |
Promote Quality
However, what’s important is to ensure that you promote programs that are first class, so the people will want to join them and will want to stick with them after they join and also so that you build a reputation of promoting quality.
Even more importantly, though, before the product, is the need to deliver value to your readers. They are looking for information and answers to questions They are not necessarily looking to buy something. So it’s not about trying to sell them, but rather it’s about providing them information and answers. So having quality content is vitality important.
It Takes Time
It takes time, to learn what you need to know about making money online. It is not a get-quick-rich, over-night millionaire system. It’s a process and it’s about knowing what to do and knowing ‘how’ to do it.
“Prior to Learning ‘How‘ I had was struggling to make money and going from one ‘Bright Shiny Object’ (BSO) to the next, getting ripped-off being scammed, and becoming very frustrated.
I had over a dozen websites, yet none of them made any money, no matter which “Guru’s” program I followed. – Why? because I didn’t know the ‘How‘
Now five years later, I know exactly what you need to get on the fast track. All the pieces have been together for you in one place because I know how hard it can be to get the right information on how to make money online. It’s the video training course that I wish I had when I first started out.

This is probably up there with my top ten most favorite blog posts I have ever read. WELL DONE! LOVED this
Thanks for your comments. Pleased you enjoyed the post.
Wow what a lot of information you have provided. I am still a little confused with it all though. You mentioned 10,000 hours to become an expert. Using the course you offer how many hours do you think it would take me to master the content you offer? I am computer literate and I have some limited experience in building websites for a couple of businesses but nothing to make money on-line. Alan

Sounds like this would be an ideal course for you as you are able to stop and start it and playback anything you want which will help you to learn what you need to know. Thank you for your comments. 🙂
Hi Peter!
I absolutely agree with all you said here.
But mainly, the importance of long-tail keywords, the quality over quantity when it caomes to get relevant and comnverting traffic to your site and of course the fact that it takes time and effort to build your online business.
There are so many opportunities to create a living out of the Internet… You just need to followthe right directions and hape the appropriate support from people who has been there already.

Hi Peter,
This is a very informative post on internet businesses. I get really annoyed with all of the “get rich quick” schemes out there that basically promise that you will start bringing in lots of cash with very little work on your part.
I think you are right on point that you need to understand how the internet works to make a business go well for you. It takes focus, drive, and passion to sincerely succeed.
I love all of your tips on Google, keywords, building traffic, and most importantly that it takes time. The “crazy cat” analogy was hilarious BTW. You are definitely a subject matter expert in the online business, and one I will be following. Thanks for sharing your tips and lessons! ~Jen

Hey Peter!
I have a site myself and i know a few things about keyword search, but your article was very informative and exposed me into more tips regarding the keyword choice. Also, you have given me some encouragement, because i’m in the web businesses quite some time, but i haven’t seen significant results since now. I believe that patience is the key to that. Thank you!
Hello, Antonis. Pleased you found the information useful and informative.Thank you for your comments and watch out for the free eBook I am sending your way. 🙂
Interesting post. I did not know anything about keyword research and now i got some insights that might help me if i decide to make my website. i guess looking for a highly specified keywords is the key to success. Can you tell me what is the keyword tool that you use for your research?
Hello, Bob Thank you for your comments. For more about keyword research and the particular research tool, I use and to see how I get my posts and pages on page one of Google, you can visit my post: Internet Marketing for an Online Business. I’m sure you will find that most informative. 🙂
Your article internet for business is loaded with a lot of information on how to succeed online. It shows how to make money doing what one really love.
The area I love so much is the niche resaerch aspect. People talk so much about doing what one love or have passion for. Do you think all passion can make one money online?
Thanks for your take.
John
Hello, John Thanks for your comments. Yes, I agree you need to have passion. If you want to create a business online, the name of the game is ˜focus˜ and building ˜quality content˜ in order to attract a following. So you need to be passionate about the topic(s) you choose because readership and comments are going to be important for you business. Particularly if you want to rank well on Google. 🙂
This site’s content is really informative and has great content value, all the content is laid out just right, I didn’t lose track of it. I’m a beginner with web business and I have limited resources, I just started out. This content also increased my will to succeed, even if you mention it will take a long time and resources and brain power. But that’s why I’m here at wealthy affiliate. I want to do this, I know it will be hard because of I’m, not a native speaker of English and I’m new to this website business thing. But I think if I continue doing this, I’ll get in return, develop a more advanced understanding of English language, learn a lot about websites, learn writing great posts, learning how affiliate businesses work, AdSense works, learn to generate content from my own mind, this is something that comes hard from me but I want to work on this to get better at creating content, It’s a skillset that people learn with time and effort, it just doesn’t come upon you, hey! I can write the whole book of content and earn from it. No, it’s a timely process of learning this skill and already thinking like this, I’m learning about things and changing my mindset about everyone else who does the web marketing.
Hello, Sander Thank you for your comments and I am pleased that my post has inspired you. You are in the right place with WA as they are certainly the best when it comes to getting a education online. I hope you also enjoy my eBook that is coming your way. Thanks again for your feedback. 🙂
Hi Peter. I think that your website contains an amazing amount of content but I found myself in sensory overload when I read it. I would remove content that was not directly related to my niche if I were you, such as the content on scamming. I would also reduce the number of different fonts in use and would move the getting started page from the sub menu to the main menu. I’m new to this so my comments should be taken in that context.
Hello, Gary. Thank you for your comments and I am pleased you appreciate the amount of content I have on my site. I hope you enjoy the eBook that is coming your way. Thanks again for your feedback. 🙂
Hi Peter
I must say that I agree with you, that amongst all the search engines google is the one that matters the most.
And congrats on creating your own course, I’m actually considering buying it, just you wait. you’ll see my sale soon enough…wait for it.
This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. I just can’t wait…I want to generate affiliate revenue so bad it hurts.
Hello, Khanya. Thank you for your comments. Pleased you have enjoyed the site and happy to help out. 🙂
Hi Peter
Very informative page. I think its going to be super helpful in getting my website better traffic and better rankings in google. I had no idea about which keywords were actually the ones to use. It all makes a lot of sense now after reading your website.
Thanks so much for all your help
Livia
Hello, Livia. Thank you for your comments. I am pleased you found it helpful as I’m sure you will like the eBook that’s coming your way also. 🙂
Wow Peter! I am so impressed. I loved your website! I loved how you coordinated your fonts with color boldness and all the pictures and video inserts just catch the eye. Even though the read looks long, it doesn’t feel like it and it just keeps you reading on. I especially like how you just tell it like it is when you tell them about your products but then always advise them that WA can give them the same thing without making this purchase.
I can only hope that I become half as good as this.
I need to find how you added some interest pages into your dropdown catergorie section in my training, I must not have come across that yet.
thank you!
Vicky
Hello, Vicky. Thank you for your kind comments. I am pleased you liked the post and I’m sure you are also going to like the eBook that is coming your way. Thank you again for your feedback 🙂
Hi Peter,
Thank you for your very thorough explanation about making the internet for a business. It seems the trend nowadays is to put your business online. I read so many articles already about earning or making money online and there are a lot of scams too mind you. I find affiliate marketing as the best way to start doing business online. Is this still correct and relevant up to this time? Do you think affiliate marketing will become saturated soon? Your article and your site as a whole are full of information and an excellent source for people wanting to do business through the internet.
Hello, Troy. Thank you indeed for your comments. Yes, the internet is a wonderful place to build a business that gives you financial security and lifestyle flexibility.. I’m sure you will also enjoy the eBook that is coming your way. 🙂
Wow. It’s an excellent article regarding the use of the internet to make money and set up a business online I came across in recent times. Its simple to understand through your content, how online business works. Especially, the keyword selection which is the key to getting ranked and receive traffic is something I recognise, that I was doing it wrong when I to started my internet business. Infact, the info here has enlightened me to retrospect the strategies applied to the business and make reasonable changes.
Thank you.
Hello, Blesso. Happy to help out and thank you for your comments and I hope you enjoy the eBook that is coming your way 🙂
Hi there Peter,
Glad I stumbled upon this article somehow – got to say thank you kindly for creating and sharing it with us. It is appreciated. I was struggling to explain why people should avoid short tail keywords – even if there is that rare two or three work phrase that meets all the criteria of being low competition and being a natural language correct phrase term.
– they convert less effectively than long tail keywords (it in a nutshell!). Thanks for the excellent graphic that illustrates the point fantastically. Do you mind if I borrow it for my own personal use (non-commercial) use? It makes a fabulous reminder and drives the point home fantastically!
Hello, Derek. Happy to help out and yes, please borrow whatever you wish. Many people struggle with rankings because there is so much misinformation out there. Yet it’s an important component to having a successful online business. Thanks for your comments. 🙂
wow.. Thanks Peter for a nice summarize content about internet business and making money from it. I always have difficulty to seek for some reading or article then guide me through (a shorter version) on the entire idea. Now, i’m really clear about it and it excite me to be part of it! Perhaps i may consider your TEACHMEHOW series to learn more from you. Appreciate your kind sharing.
Hello, Nico Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you leaving a comment. I hope you enjoy the eBook that is coming your way. 🙂
You have no idea how long I’ve been wanting to find some place to make money online> I’ve actually searched for ways to make money at home or even just some desk jobs I could get that were work from home. But from waht you’re saying here, just creating simple website and getting keywords though google would help me out?
