Think back to when you first started dreaming of having your own home-based internet business. Lots of people seem to be making money this way. What a great idea! No more commuting, freedom to work in your pajamas, money for the lifestyle you'd always wanted and more time with your family …

But where do you start? It was all so confusing. You responded to mailings and bought products that promised you would make money fast. But if you are anything like me, you found that nothing seemed to work. You didn't dare quit your day job. Each year, you would look back and think, "I STILL haven't made any money".

So you decided to stop taking other people's advice and buying other people's products. You realized that the only way to go was to have your OWN product and your OWN web site.

You developed a product line and paid someone to design an impressive and professional looking web site. And you sat and waited for the money to roll in. But the only problem was, nobody was visiting your fantastic site so they couldn't see what great products you had.

So why are other people making money online and you are not? You have one thing left to learn. Learn this one lesson and it will change your life.

Your product is something you are interested in and developing it is something you have enjoyed doing. But sadly, you can't sit there doing what you enjoy. You have to get out there and start doing things you don't enjoy much.

Building a great site and having great products isn't all there is in the business. "Build it and they will come" doesn't work on the Internet. The only way people will know your site is there is through search engines. People who are looking for your product or service will type in keywords and you have to make sure your site is the one they see. Making your site rank high in the search engines means work. Nobody else is going to do it for you. You have to. But because a lot of folks don't like doing it, they don't do it. This is where you will have the advantage - because you are going to do it anyway!

So how do you ensure people see your site?

• Links. For your site to rank high in the search engines, you need links pointing to your site. So you have to have a good linking campaign. Place your link in directories - free ones if you are short of money. Place links on your site to other relevant sites and e-mail them to ask them to link to yours.

• Writing articles and submitting them to article directories. Optimize the articles for keywords. That means, find out what words people are using to search for products like yours and use them in the article.

• Forums. Join forums and discussion groups related to your product - find them through search engines. Answer people's questions or problems and include a link to your site in your posts.

• Press releases. Write press releases about your business. Submit them to offline newspapers and online e-zines. Ensure they are written in the appropriate style for that publication.

Sure, it's hard work. And it has to be done on a daily basis. It takes discipline. But within a few weeks you will see your business growing. And you will find the success that other people only sit and dream about.
