With any Online Business, there are going to be good months and bad months. This is the reason why many people are afraid to leave their 9 to 5 job and go full time into Internet Marketing.
As human beings, we love stability – may it be stability in our jobs, stability in our relationships, or our financial status. This is why most people avoid venturing into new things that involve high risk.
A business entirely is not at first very stable. In the beginning, businesses are up and down – feast or famine. The question is, how do we avoid this feast or famine unstable environment?
Below are some of the tips to help you achieve a stable online marketing business.
1. Have consistency.
Most affiliate marketers, when they are promoting affiliate products, they just buy and send traffic directly to a sales page. They spend a lot of money on sales page. But if there is no traffic going to there, no one is being exposed to their promotion and no one is going to buy and they don’t make money. When you do it the way affiliates do, which is to buy traffic, then you will not have stable income.
When doing a promotion, look at something that is always available 27/4. You may want to starta blog on the product that you are promoting. Make sure your blog is up 24/7 – always on, always available, and always promoting. Having a blog ensures that you have stability in your online business.
2. Decide carefully on the type of product you promote.
Instead of being a typical marketer wherein you just send traffic to a sales page and hope that someone will be interested and will buy your product, promote offers that pay recurring commissions each and every month. A good example for this is a membership website where customers pay a fee each month as long as they are subscribed.
The monthly income you get is stable because even if you stop promoting, you will still have monthly income. You may want to quit anytime and still be making money in recurring commissions. Therefore, promoting products that provide a recurring income ensures stability in your online earnings.
3. Be persistent. Stick with what you are doing.
Most people give up early in the first months of starting an online business because they are not making enough money. They tend to try a lot of things. Therefore, stick with what you are doing and never stop learning and enhancing your skills.
Take note that it takes time to build an audience. It takes time to build a customer-based business. But if you stick with it long enough, you will eventually build it and that will give you a stabel income.
The key to success in an Online Business is to be patient in the early stages. Firstly, set up the correct Internet Marketing model that suits you and then build on it. Some days will be feasts days and others will be famine days.
The reason why most internet marketers have been successful is because they took the time to build their website. They also took time to build a large customer base by building an email list. This in turn have created some stability in their internet marketing business and will create a lot of stability in your online income too if you follow these steps.
Remember, always innovate and give something new to your customers. You want more tips on how to set up and stabilize your online business? Sign up now!

INTRODUCTION
So you want to start an online business and make money?
Becoming an online entrepreneur is a big commitment — there’s a lot of things to consider.
First of all, there are many ways to start an online business; way too many to choose from. And having said that, unfortunately, it’s never easy for you to make a final decision. People start and stop, they give up and talk smack.
Most people have this problem with paralysis over analysis. Stop overthinking and start making a move. Something is always better than nothing!
Look at those people who are already earning an income online by uploading videos, blogging and affiliate marketing. These guys are making $1000+ a day just from their computer, mouse and keyboard with connection to the internet. It’s because they are consistent with their content; they produce on an ongoing basis. These people are willing to work for ‘free’ to bring them results.
Is this rocket science? Nope, it’s just commitment, being focused and getting one thing done at a time — and remember, paralysis over analysis is the poison ivy; avoid at all cost!
Here’s something to think about: You are reading my blog; which is quite the business model itself.
I recommend you starting out as an affiliate marketer. You don’t need to have a product to sell. You just need to send traffic to the product link and you will get commission for every sale made.
Below are the tools I used when I started my online business.
STEP 1: WEB HOSTING SERVICE
First of all, you need a name for your website. And then, you need a place to store all that information which includes your: custom emails, webpages, images etc.
Your website needs to be accessible 24/7, because all your visitors are from different countries from different time zones; so when you are asleep, they may be having breakfast and on their phones reading from your website.
So rather than having your own computer left turned on; eating up your electricity and costing you hundreds and thousands on bills, this is where web hosting service comes in play. It’s like a remote computer where you can store your website information.
I recommend signing up for Hostinger because:
it’s the cheapest web hosting service that I can find — starting at $1.45 per month.
Fast loading times — around 385ms
Multilingual support
On top of that, you will also need to register a website name which will cost you around $10 a year.
Have optimism in yourself; this little investment and hard a little bit of hard work might earn you the car of your dreams.
I know for a fact that most of you readers (probably over 90%) don’t know anything about coding — neither do I.
But that doesn’t stop you from having a website up and running.
Rather than designing HTML pages from scratch and uploading it somewhere, this is where content management system (CMS) makes your life a whole lot easier.
After you have registered your domain name (e.g. yourwebsitename.com) and hosting service, Hostinger will grant you access to a control panel where you can tweak all the web hosting stuff like setting up your custom email address, forwarders, web file management (sort of like a remote controlled hard drive), and installing CMS on your blank website name.
In your cPanel, you should find a “Quick Install” icon, where you can choose which CMS to install — from Joomla to Drupal to WordPress.
I recommend WordPress — its free and open-source. It has tons of plugins that you can find within its own marketplace — from SEO plugins to CAPTCHAs for extra security measures and implementing third party tools to work in conjunction with your website. I also highly recommend installing Yoast SEO and Wordfence plugins.
Put some effort into blogging; write about something that can educate or sell your idea to the world. Over time, this will also help you get more traffic, more subscribers, more clients and more customers.
STEP 3: LANDING PAGES
So far, you’ve got the ball rolling; you’ve got a website name, powered by WordPress with a place to host.
Let’s take it to the next level — you need to start prospecting for leads who will then become potential customers to grow your business. It involves building webpages optimized for visitors to take action in something they are interested in.
These are known as landing pages — which you can collect their email address.
Thrive Architect is a visual page builder plugin that helps you create great-looking, conversion-focused pages. It is the fastest and most intuitive visual editor for WordPress.
Thrive lets you build your pages as fast as possible using the drag and drop editor so that you don’t spend a lot of time fiddling around with Shortcodes, CSS and HTML.
With Thrive, they also have this university where in they have a growing library of knowledge about how to create and optimize websites and landing pages.
It is absolutely essential, that you have an email marketing tool such as AWeber. Remember in one of my articles, I stated that ‘follow up’ is one of the elements to a successful online business. AWeber helps create autoresponders and newsletters that will be sent to subscribers on schedule.
AWeber is pretty straightforward to use and certainly easy enough to do all the basics such as – create campaigns, import contacts, setup autoresponders and newsletters, check statistics and the interface is pretty neat and intuitive.
So now you have the basic tools needed, you can now start doing an online business. You may want to start marketing and advertising products through affiliate program. You may find products to promote through ClickBank and Rakuten. They offer diverse niches with higher income rate.
Once you already have decided the products you want to promote, start creating landing pages.
There are millions of companies out there that have affiliate programs — paying commission to affiliates that refers a customer to their business. I recommend starting out with Clickbank.
Clickbank is free to register and start off as an affiliate marketer.
In the marketplace, pick a niche, find a product and start sending traffic to your landing page, which it collect their email address for you to follow up, and redirect to the sales page of the affiliate link you provided.
