The next stage is keyword research for the market, for which we use Wordtracker

Once you’re on the wordtracker site, grab their Keyword Research Guide, there’s a link for it by the red “New” message in the middle of the page and take the time to read it.

Keyword research is one of the most important things to get right, if you don’t get choose the right keywords, your website project is likely to be doomed to get little to zero free traffic from the search engines.

Basically the idea is that you are looking for keywords that are searched for a lot, but have relatively few websites competing for that keyphrase. Wordtracker works this out for you using a value called “KEI”, the higher the “KEI” the better.

Hi Alex,

the Home Based Internet Businesses Blog is up at last!

So where do we start?

I did say I was going to keep this quick and simple to try and make sure you can get a site up and earning with the minimum fuss, so instead of trying to find a hungry market of people looking for a solution to a problem, we’re going to shortcut the process and go straight in to finding a product to pormote using an affiliate program.

This way you can start by setting up a simple one paged affiliate site.

An affiliate program is a program that allows you to recommend someone else’s product and make money from doing so.

How? Well, you get a special link that you put on your site that when a visitor clicks on the link it tracks them and if the purchase the product you get a commission.
