Just like a brick and mortar off line business, an online businesses main goal is to sell a product or service and make a profit. The best thing is that you don't have to pay a fortune to advertise with radio, tv or newspapers. The truth is you can get free traffic online.

Is it hard to start an internet business? To be truthful, once you have all the information you need, starting your internet business is easy.

No matter what you have heard in the past about internet marketing as a home business, you do need your own website. Without your own site you will constantly struggle for every penny you make.

So what's the next step? Once you have your own website you need to figure out what you are going to sell. You can sell other people's products for a commission, or you can create and sell your own products from your own site.

Now all you have to do is to start driving traffic to your new site. This is a little more work than the first two steps, and this is also the most important part about your new online business.

The first traffic generation technique you should concentrate on is getting the much sought after targeted traffic from the major search engines.

To start getting traffic from the search engines, first you need to submit your site to all the search engines. You could use submission service, I use "Flight Search Engine Submission", or you can submit your site to the search engines manually. It is time consuming, but this part is very important. You should submit your site monthly.

Now that the search engines know your site exists, it is time to start your link building. Links are necessary for two reasons. Search engines use links as votes for your website. The more links you have pointing to your site, the higher the search engines will place your site in there results. You will also get traffic from the links themselves.

Commenting in blogs is a great way to start your link building. Every time you post a comment on a blog make sure to leave a link pointing back to your website. In no time at all you will soon have hundreds or even thousands of links pointing to your site. You don't want to leave more than 1 link in your comments. This is because most spam filters will automatically delete your comment if it contains more than 1 link.

Now that you have blog commenting under control, you can also start posting comments in forums. You simply add a signature to your forum profile, and when you leave a comment your signature is added, giving you a free backlink. So you should join as many forums as you can and post comments or questions on them every day.

Now you are on your way to earning money online. It is now all up to you. You have the tools you need to succeed, so what are you going to do with them.
