Introduction
 

In this section of 10ts.com we talk about online marketing for those business who want to make money through the internet. In brief, we'll talk about how a business can go online and make a profit.

What is new in this page compared to what is contained in lots of other sites? Well, here you'll find practical tips and advice generated from personal experience.

First of all, let's be clear about something: here we are talking about money. The basic concept is that we have to make more money (possibly lots more money) than what we spend. Very often, people who are new to the internet (I am talking about businesses, not individual surfers) think that internet is free, something like a game, something that can provide an extra income and that if it does not work out, it does not really matter: the important is not spending money. However, this path will not take you very far.

Through internet you can earn just as much (an in some cases more) than in an ordinary world. Those individuals who see the internet as something virtual, abstract, too dangerous to invest money on, are better off with continuing their everyday activity and make the most of their time.

If you want to make money through internet, you not only have to spend money, but you have to spend money sensibly.

How to plan an advertising campaign on the internet
Internet advertising (also due to its immediate feedback) is completely different from TV and magazine advertising. Nobody can click on the TV or magazine page; however, this is one of the favourite methods used by both internet and non-internet business today.

The main issue about internet advertising is simple: you can found out, in a very short period of time, whether or not the campaign is working, how and why it is achieving success and, essentially, whether it is worth the money time and effort that you are investing in it. If it works, you'll make the money that you have invested very quickly. But similarly, you can just as quickly lose the resources you have put in it (whilst if you use TV and/or magazines, it can take you months to fully understand whether the campaign has worked and to what extent).

You obviously have to be careful about what you do and make sure that you spread your resources effectively.

(NOTE: when it comes to internet, individuals' past performance does not mean much, and even less important are their qualifiations. The net is like a gigantic world where every day you star fresh, and what yesterday worked well today may no longer work. Time goes much faster compared to the 'real world').
