Slide 1: ShoeMoney’s
12
Week
Course
To
Internet
Success
 Week
1:
Introduction
to
Internet
Marketing
 With
the
recent
advances
in
technology,
the
“American
dream”
has
transformed
from
 thoughts
of
white
picket
fences
and
a
well‐paying
nine
to
five
job
into
the
idea
of
having
a
 lucrative,
work‐from‐home
and
make‐money‐while‐you‐sleep
type
career.
You
make
your
 own
hours
and
have
yourself
as
a
boss!
That’s
the
 dream
of
today.

 Most
people
think
that
just
because
you’re
able
to
 do
it
from
home
and
at
your
own
computer
means
 it’s
going
to
be
easy.
Unfortunately,
while
it’s
 certainly
possible
to
earn
a
substantial
income
from
 home,
it
requires
hard
work,
dedication
and
an
 unyielding
desire
to
succeed…
just
like
every
other
 successful
endeavor!

 No
matter
where
you’re
at
in
your
Internet
marketing
career,
it
is
both
beneficial
and
 necessary
to
not
only
build
a
solid
foundation
of
the
basics,
but
expound
upon
this
as
well.
 Without
this
foundation,
you’ll
be
lost
and
confused.
 That’s
where
this
guide
comes
in.
This
12
Week
Course
contains
the
information
you
need
 to
be
knowledgeable
about
the
industry
while
also
learning
the
best
ways
to
use
different
 tools
found
online.
While
you
don’t
need
to
be
an
expert
in
all
of
the
fields
we’ll
talk
about,
 you
will
at
least
become
a
“Jack
of
all
trades”
(so
keep
this
in
mind
throughout
the
training).

 As
I’ve
mentioned
before,
this
series
of
guides
is
perfect
for
both
newbies
and
experienced
 marketers
as
it
will
not
only
introduce
you
to
all
of
the
basic
principles
of
the
industry
but
it
 will
also
walk
you
through
higher‐end,
more
complicated
actions.
 Before
we
begin,
remember
to
keep
an
open
mind
throughout
this
adventure.
Be
ready
and
 willing
to
learn
anything
and
everything!
From
time
to
time,
certain
topics
may
sound
or
 seem
too
complicated
to
understand
at
first.
But
I
promise,
all
of
these
pieces
of
knowledge
 will
eventually
come
together.
If
you
absorb
the
information
I’m
giving
to
you,
your
overall
 success
in
the
crazy
world
of
Internet
marketing
will
be
dramatically
improved.

 Think
of
this
guide
as
a
collection
of
small
puzzle
pieces.
As
you
read
section
by
section,
the
 pieces
will
begin
to
connect
and
by
the
end,
you
will
have
a
clear,
complete
picture.
Does
 that
sound
promising?
 Good,
then
let’s
get
started…

 
 

Slide 2: So
What
Do
I
Know?
 I
grew
up
as
a
kid
who
loved
playing
video
games.
And
I
still
remember
when
my
mom
gave
 me
my
first
computer.
I
loved
playing
around
and
figuring
things
out
on
the
backend
and
 one
of
my
first
jobs
was
at
a
hosting
company.
Sure,
I
loved
computers
and
technology.
But
 it
wasn’t
until
my
college
years
that
I
got
a
little
taste
of
success
when
I
started
making
some
 cash
on
a
video
game
website
I
created.
What?
I
could
make
money
doing
what
I
loved?
My
 success
was
short
lived
with
the
impending
dot
com
crash,
and
I
went
back
to
working
for
 the
man.

 In
2003,
I
still
weighed
about
420
pounds,
smoked
two
 packs
of
cigarettes
a
day
and
was
tens
of
thousands
of
 dollars
in
credit
card
debt.
I
thought
that
this
was
all
I
 was
supposed
to
get
out
of
life
and
I
was
okay
with
 that.
It
wasn’t
until
I
met
my
future
wife
that
 everything
changed.
She
showed
me
what
a
real
work
 ethic
was
and
encouraged
me
to
chase
my
dreams
and
 head
back
to
the
world
of
Internet
marketing.
It
was
 then
that
I
developed
a
website
that
allowed
people
to
pimp
out
their
phones
with
 wallpapers,
graphics
and
ringtones.
The
website
became
wildly
popular
and
after
a
year,
I
 started
pulling
in
monthly
checks
for
over
$130,000!
Are
you
kidding?
I
am
the
same
guy
 that
had
been
fired
from
nearly
every
job
I
had
ever
had
and
now
I
was
making
more
in
one
 month
than
I
had
ever
made
in
a
year.
Over
six
years
later,
I've
lost
the
weight,
quit
smoking
 and
created
a
successful
brand
and
series
of
businesses.
I
am
proof
that
anyone
can
turn
 their
passions
into
online
success.

 Whether
you
are
a
complete
newbie
who
only
knows
 how
to
turn
on
their
computer
or
you
are
an
expert
 programmer
looking
to
turn
your
ideas
into
a
 successful
online
career,
I’m
here
to
tell
you
that
it
is
 completely
possible
to
make
enough
money
to
quit
 your
job
and
work
for
yourself.
 What
To
Expect...
 Depending
upon
your
experience
level,
this
first
guide
may
seem
pretty
'tame'.
In
fact,
I
 would
call
it
more
of
a
preface.
I'm
simply
going
to
tell
you
about
the
industry
as
a
whole
 and
give
you
a
good
grasp
on
the
basics.
But
trust
me!
We're
really
going
to
ramp
things
up
 in
the
following
11
weeks.
Over
the
next
few
months,
we
will
closely
examine
everything
 from
affiliate
marketing
and
how
to
build
your
own
site
to
methods
of
monetization
and
 how
to
create
your
own
products.
 I
will
show
you
the
things
that
have
AND
have
not
worked
for
me
over
the
past
years,
and
 hopefully
you
will
take
my
approaches
and
make
them
your
own.
Remember,
you
don't
 have
to
become
an
expert
at
everything
to
make
it
in
this
field.
If
one
of
the
guides
doesn't

Slide 3: make
much
sense
or
really
interest
you,
it
will
do
you
well
to
learn
about
it
‐
but
perhaps
 not
to
force
yourself
to
become
an
expert
in
that
field.
Just
realize
that
right
now
is
a
very
 exciting
time.
You’re
about
to
learn
a
lot
and
within
three
months,
you’ll
be
launching
your
 own
business!
Now
let’s
dive
in!
 Let’s
Define
Internet
Marketing…
 Internet
marketing,
also
referred
to
as
i‐marketing,
web
marketing,
online
marketing,
or
 eMarketing,
is
the
marketing
of
products
or
services
over
the
Internet.
 The
Internet
has
brought
many
unique
benefits
to
marketing,
one
of
which
being
lower
 costs
for
the
distribution
of
information
and
media
to
a
global
audience.
The
interactive
 nature
of
Internet
marketing,
both
in
terms
of
providing
instant
response
and
eliciting
 responses
make
Internet
marketing
an
industry
where
you
can
see
fast
results!
 Internet
marketing
ties
together
creative
and
technical
aspects
of
the
Internet,
including
 design,
development,
advertising,
and
sales.

By
reading
this
guide,
you
will
become
familiar
 with
each
of
these
Internet
marketing
facets
and
well
on
your
way
to
launching
a
successful
 site.
 What
Is
An
Internet
Marketer?
 Internet
marketing
is
the
business
of
both
advertising
and
selling
goods
and
services
over
 the
Internet.
As
an
Internet
marketer
yourself,
you
will
be
responsible
for
bringing
together
 potential
customers
with
a
service
or
company
that
will
fit
their
needs
through
different
 Internet
avenues.
Whether
the
product
being
offered
is
a
pair
of
sneakers
or
a
new
car,
you
 are
helping
others
connect
with
the
products
they
are
searching
for.
 With
trillions
of
dollars
spent
online
each
year,
it’s
clear
that
the
Internet
isn’t
going
 anywhere
and
more
and
more
businesses
and
services
will
become
primarily
web‐based.

 With
a
few
clicks,
you
can
often
find
exactly
what
you’re
looking
for.
The
convenience
and
 multitude
of
information
provided
by
the
Internet
is
incomparable.
That’s
why
you
need
to
 be
a
part
of
this
industry
and
begin
your
Internet
marketing
career.
 Every
day
millions
of
people
hit
the
web
to
find
products
and
information.
And
starting
a
 business
is
no
longer
about
location,
location,
location.
Now
–
the
world
is
your
marketplace
 and
everyone
from
a
third
grader
to
a
millionaire
is
a
potential
customer
or
site
visitor.
 Anywhere
people
can
access
the
Internet,
people
can
potentially
visit
your
site.
One
day
you
 could
eventually
have
over
1
billion
visitors.
And
there
are
no
store
hours.
Day
and
night
 your
product
or
service
is
available
and
you
can
earn
money
while
you
sleep.
If
you’re
 bringing
the
value
people
are
looking
for,
you’ll
see
the
results!

 
 

Slide 4: The
best
part
of
starting
an
online
business,
 however,
is
that
the
Internet
is
so
powerful
you
can
 find
a
niche
and
grow
rich.
Do
you
love
playing
a
 particular
video
game?
Or
are
you
obsessed
with
 the
television
show
Lost
(like
me
)?
If
so
–
you
 can
start
a
site
based
upon
the
things
you
love
and
 tap
the
group
of
people
who
share
your
same
 interest.
If
you
love
it
–
there
are
chances
that
other
 people
have
the
same
passion
as
you
and
that
equals
money.

 At
its
core,
being
an
Internet
marketer
means
that
your
website(s)
will
provide
people
with
 information
and
products
they
are
searching
for.
When
visitors
perform
a
predefined
 action,
whether
it’s
a
click,
entering
their
email,
making
a
purchase
or
subscribing
to
your
 service,
you
will
be
paid!
 Advantages
To
Internet
Marketing…
 The
world
of
Internet
marketing
has
an
extremely
low
barrier
to
entry.
Do
you
have
a
 computer?
Do
you
have
Internet
access?
Do
you
have
around
$100
to
scoop
up
some
 domain
names
and
get
rolling?
Do
you
have
a
million
dollar
idea
and
the
time
and
passion
to
 implement
it?
Great,
then
you’re
in!
 Unlike
traditional
forms
of
advertising,
such
as
a
billboard
in
Times
Square
or
a
Super
Bowl
 television
ad,
online
marketing
is
much
more
affordable,
targeted
and
able
to
be
tracked.
 Using
Twitter
or
email
blasts
to
communicate
with
potential
customers
is
cheaper
than
 paying
for
that
$10,000
billboard
that
a
fraction
of
your
audience
will
see.
Place
an
ad
on
 Facebook
and
within
the
hour
you
may
see
hundreds
or
 thousands
of
users
flooding
your
site.
With
online
 advertising,
you
can
see
an
instant
return
on
your
 investment,
track
users
statistics
and
actions,
and
 communicate
directly
with
those
who
are
already
actively
 seeking
what
you
have
to
offer.
 As
you
can
see,
the
sky
is
really
the
limit
for
what
the
 Internet
has
to
offer
both
consumers
and
entrepreneurs
 like
yourself.
 The
Future
Of
The
Internet...
 • • • Internet
traffic
is
expected
to
double
over
the
next
five
years
 60%
of
this
traffic
will
be
made
up
of
consumers
(That's
340
million
people!)
 Over
80%
of
consumers
do
at
least
some
online
shopping
(Wow!)
 So
perhaps
you
are
just
getting
into
Internet
marketing
and
learning
more
about
the
 industry.
Why
should
you
choose
to
pursue
a
career
online?
Well
here
are
some
of
the
 advantages
to
taking
this
path
and
committing
yourself
to
my
entire
12
Week
Course.

Slide 5: The
Advantages
to
Internet
Marketing
Include…
 • • • • • • • A
low
barrier
to
entry
 Minimal
start
up
costs
and
risks
versus
a
brick
and
mortar
store
 Cheap
advertising
options
 A
worldwide
marketplace
24
hours
a
day
 The
ability
to
be
your
own
boss
and
set
your
own
hours
 The
chance
to
make
money
promoting
things
you
are
passionate
about
 And
the
opportunity
to
make
a
lot
of
cash
along
the
way!
 Although
a
career
in
Internet
marketing
sounds
amazing,
it’s
not
without
its
own
set
of
risks
 and
investments.
Internet
marketing
is
not
a
get
rich
quick
scheme.
Much
time,
persistence
 and
a
continued
willingness
to
learn
are
involved.
You
need
to
be
honest
with
yourself
 before
truly
leaping
into
the
field.

Below
I
have
listed
some
other
facets
of
the
industry
you
 need
to
consider.
 The
Realities
Of
Internet
Marketing…
 As
I
just
stated,
there
are
good
and
bad
sides
to
everything
–
including
the
Internet
 marketing
industry.
If
you
are
serious
about
turning
to
the
Internet
to
generate
some
 serious
cash,
then
it
is
vital
for
you
to
read
the
following
section.
I’m
here
to
tell
you
the
 honest
truth
and
perhaps
dispel
previous
notions
you
had
about
the
field.

Are
these
 statements
True
or
False?
 • Becoming
an
Internet
marketer
is
not
a
get
rich
quick
scheme.
 o True.
Although
many
entrepreneurs
have
entered
this
lucrative
market
and
 become
millionaires,
when
you
compare
the
number
who
have
had
such
 wild
success
with
all
the
businesses
who
have
failed
or
never
really
taken
off
 online,
you
will
find
that
the
“overnight”
millionaires
are
not
the
norm.
 Nearly
all
of
the
business
realities
that
apply
to
a
brick
and
mortar
store
still
 apply
to
your
virtual
business
–
taxes,
employees,
customer
service.

Just
as
 any
other
type
of
business
venture,
much
of
your
success
in
Internet
 marketing
will
require
a
lot
of
hard
work.

I’m
not
trying
to
crush
your
 dreams,
but
more
than
likely,
you
will
not
become
a
millionaire
overnight.
 (In
a
year?
Perhaps!)
 
 Starting
your
Internet
marketing
career
is
free.
 o False.
Although
beginning
your
Internet
marketing
business
is
cheaper
than
 creating
a
brick
and
mortar
start
up,
there
are
still
costs
associated
with
 your
endeavor,
including
website
design,
advertising
costs,
software,
 domains
and
hosting.
With
just
a
couple
hundred
dollars,
you
can
get
 started.
If
you
don’t
have
the
money
to
invest
at
this
point,
I
suggest
that
you
 continue
this
course
and
save
money
along
the
way.
The
more
serious
you
 are
–
the
more
money
you’ll
stash
away.

 • 

Slide 6: • • • • Most
affiliate
marketers
never
make
a
sale.
 o True.
Many
people
join
affiliate
marketing
programs
(we’ll
dive
into
this
 deeper
in
Week
2)
and
never
turn
a
dime.
I
believe
this
fact
is
in
direct
 correlation
to
the
number
of
people
who
think
enrolling
in
an
affiliate
 program
equals
the
ability
to
generate
cash.
With
a
great
site,
a
decent
 amount
of
traffic
and
a
solid
foundation
of
knowledge,
you’ll
be
able
to
beat
 the
odds.
Taking
the
next
12
weeks
seriously
will
definitely
increase
the
 likelihood
that
you
won’t
be
one
of
these
people
who
never
makes
a
sale.

 
 Internet
marketing
is
just
a
hobby.
 o False.
I
won’t
deny
the
fact
that
there
are
a
decent
amount
of
people
out
 there
earning
a
nice
passive
income
from
their
Internet
marketing
efforts.
 Maybe
you
are
already
one
of
those
people!
However,
I
believe
if
you
refer
to
 Internet
marketing
as
simply
a
“hobby”
and
something
you
do
“on
the
side”,
 it
will
be
difficult
for
you
to
truly
take
your
income
to
the
max.
If
you
want
to
 start
a
true
business,
service
or
website,
there
is
a
great
chance
that
you
may
 have
to
invest
serious
time
fielding
customer
concerns,
arranging
 advertising
agreements
and
maintaining
your
site.
 
 Websites
are
fail
proof.
 o False.
When
your
site
goes
‘down’
for
technical
reasons,
you
may
become
 extremely
frustrated
trying
to
solve
the
problem
and
get
your
site
back
in
 working
order.
Not
only
that,
but
every
second
your
site
is
unavailable
to
 potential
visitors
means
that
you
are
losing
money.
Be
prepared
to
cross
the
 hurdles,
ask
others
for
help
or
advice
to
solve
your
problems
and
learn
 something
from
each
experience.
 
 Buying
just
one
‘great
system’
will
solve
all
my
problems.
 o False.
There
are
TONS
of
eBooks,
guides,
systems
and
tools
that
promise
you
 outrageous
success
online.
This
FREE
12
Week
Course,
however,
is
proof
 that
you
don’t
have
to
invest
thousands
of
dollars
buying
these
types
of
 products
and
learning
other
people’s
‘systems’
because
there
truly
is
quality
 free
content
available.
I’m
not
downing
all
of
the
great
informational
 products
available
as
I’m
sure
some
of
them
definitely
are
worth
the
 investment.
But
as
someone
just
starting
out,
it
is
more
advantageous
for
 you
to
learn
through
a
course
like
this.
No
matter
what
you
decide,
you
must
 take
ACTION.
It
doesn’t
matter
whether
you
buy
1
or
100
courses.
If
you
 never
implement
the
information
given
to
you
–
you
will
never
make
 progress.
But
I'm
sure
you
have
more
ambition
than
that
‐
that's
why
you
 signed
up
for
this
course.
 I
can
set
up
a
“system”,
let
it
run
on
autopilot
and
make
money
within
hours.
 o False.
Are
you
kidding
me?
Technology
changes
overnight
and
the
Internet
 marketing
industry
evolves
at
a
rapid
pace.
Any
‘system’
promised
to
you
as
 
 •
Slide 7: something
you
can
simply
put
on
autopilot
and
allow
you
to
generate
cash
as
 you
lay
on
the
beach
is
a
complete
lie.
Just
because
one
marketing
or
traffic
 generation
tactic
has
worked
for
you
(or
someone
else)
in
the
past
doesn't
 mean
it
will
work
in
the
future.
It’s
important
for
you
to
remain
flexible
and
 willing
to
learn
new
strategies,
technologies
and
trends.
If
not,
you'll
be
left
 in
the
dust
by
your
competition.
Warning:
This
industry
isn't
for
people
who
 like
a
simple
routine
and
who
can't
stay
on
their
toes.
 • 
 There
will
be
people
against
you.
 o True.
If
you
achieve
real
success,
there
will
be
people
looking
to
take
you
 down.
Once
you
have
people
against
you,
you
know
you’ve
really
made
it.

 There
are
tons
of
amazing
people
in
the
field,
however,
who
can
become
 great
friends
and
business
partners.
Protect
your
brand,
but
don’t
take
 criticism
or
‘haters’
too
seriously.

 Competition
is
fierce.

 o True.
You
have
to
stand
out
to
make
an
impact.
Write
some
amazing
articles
 and
cause
a
stir!
There
is
so
much
competition
and
people
vying
for
the
top
 spots
in
search
engines
and
consumers
mind
that
if
you’re
not
working
hard
 24/7,
you
better
believe
someone
else
is
out
there
doing
it.
 Making
money
online
is
easy!
I
can’t
wait
to
start
spending
the
cash!
 o False.
If
you
are
serious
about
truly
building
a
long‐term
online
business,
 then
the
first
profits
you
generate
should
go
right
back
into
your
service
and
 advertising
efforts.
If
you
simply
cash
out,
you’ll
never
maximize
your
 profits.
More
importantly,
you
must
be
aware
of
the
taxation
and
current
 laws
that
affect
the
industry.
It
is
worth
your
time
to
investigate
the
tax
and
 legal
advantages
of
creating
an
LLC
or
other
type
of
corporation.
Setting
up
 something
like
an
LLC
is
not
a
huge
monetary
investment,
but
it
could
really
 protect
your
personal
assets
and
liabilities.
Depending
on
your
income
and
 situation,
creating
an
official
organization
could
also
prove
to
be
wise
in
 terms
of
tax
savings.
Contact
a
legal
or
financial
professional
who
has
 experience
dealing
with
other
Internet
marketing
professionals
like
you.
 They
will
provide
you
with
the
best
advice
based
upon
your
situation.
This
is
 probably
one
of
the
most
important
steps
in
truly
creating
a
legitimate
 business
and
protecting
your
assets.
This
step
should
not
be
overlooked.
 (DISCLAIMER:
I
am
in
no
way
providing
professional
LEGAL
or
FINANCIAL
 advice.
This
is
just
information
based
on
my
personal
experience.)

Slide 8: How
Do
I
Market
Online?
 So
I’ve
laid
it
all
there
for
you
‐
the
good,
the
bad
and
the
ugly.
I’ve
also
explained
to
you
the
 basic
concept
of
Internet
marketing.
But
if
you’re
a
newbie,
there
may
be
a
chance
you’re
 saying
to
yourself,
“Shoe,
you
still
haven’t
told
me
what
‘marketing’
really
means!”
You’re
 right.
It’s
a
pretty
general
phrase
and
it
can
often
times
be
misused.
But
in
terms
of
Internet
 marketing,
it
generally
refers
to
any
or
all
of
the
following
online
marketing
methods:

 o o o o o o o o o o Article
marketing
 Blog
marketing
 E‐mail
marketing
 Search
engine
marketing
(SEM)
 Pay
per
click
ads
(PPC)
 Search
engine
optimization
(SEO)
 Banner
ads
 Pop‐up
ads
 Mobile
marketing
 Social
media
marketing
 Over
the
next
12
weeks
we
will
look
closely
at
each
of
these
methods.
Understand
now
that
 each
of
these
marketing
methods
are
not
created
equal.
Each
approach
will
reach
your
 targeted
audience
in
a
different
way
and
each
approach
will
produce
a
different
result
 based
upon
your
goal,
marketing
strategy
and
relationship
with
the
user.
 Whether
you
choose
to
market
your
own
site
or
to
be
come
an
affiliate
marketer
(marketing
 other
companies’
products
and
services
and
being
paid
for
your
performance
which
we
will
 talk
about
next
week),
you
will
most
likely
utilize
each
of
these
marketing
methods
at
 various
points.
The
great
thing
about
Internet
marketing
is
that
what
you
earn
is
in
direct
 proportion
to
the
time
and
effort
you
invest
in
learning
and
developing
your
site.
 A
Quick
Look
At
These
Marketing
Methods…
 Article
Writing
‐
A
great
way
to
get
the
word
out
about
your
product
or
website
is
through
 article
writing.
By
creating
articles
with
valuable
content,
you
will
not
only
attract
the
 attention
of
people
searching
for
information
about
your
particular
product
or
field,
but
the
 search
engines
absolutely
love
seeing
a
variety
of
well‐written,
keyword
optimized
articles
 on
your
site.
(This
is
where
the
ShoeMoney
Tools
Text
Optimizer
comes
in
handy
–
but
we’ll
 talk
about
that
later.
☺)
 Create
articles
that
are
accurate,
truthful,
helpful
and
specific
and
you
will
attract
many
 more
potential
customers.
Depending
upon
your
budget,
time,
area
of
expertise
and
writing
 skills,
you
can
either
write
your
sites
articles
yourself
or
pay
others
to
write
them
for
you.
 There
are
plenty
of
talented
article
writers
out
there
ready
to
help
you
create
your
content.
 (The
Digital
Point
forums
or
sites
like
eLance.com
are
a
great
way
to
find
people
willing
to
 work
for
you.)

Slide 9: Blog
Marketing
‐
A
blog
(a
contraction
of
the
term
weblog)
is
a
type
of
website
usually
 maintained
by
an
individual
with
regular
entries
of
commentary
and
descriptions
of
events.
 Think
of
it
like
a
personal
diary
displayed
on
the
web.
Many
bloggers
are
using
video
and
 images
to
increase
their
blog’s
dynamics.
In
terms
of
marketing,
many
people
have
opted
to
 create
and
develop
blogs
where
they
focus
on
a
particular
industry
or
topic
as
to
position
 themselves
as
an
expert
in
the
field.
Blogs
provide
a
great
opportunity
for
you
to
do
the
 same!
And
network
with
others
in
the
space.

 E­mail
Marketing
‐
E‐mail
marketing
is
an
excellent
way
to
reach
out
to
people
interested
 in
what
you
have
to
offer.
And
building
a
solid
database
is
important.
With
this
you
can
 reach
out
to
your
audience
directly
and
almost
instantly.
It’s
a
great
way
to
build
a
 relationship
with
your
future,
current
and
past
customers.
 Search
Engine
Marketing
–
Search
Engine
Marketing
(also
known
as
SEM)
is
the
term
used
 as
you
try
to
promote
your
website
and
its
visibility
by
ranking
higher
in
the
Search
Engine
 Results
Pages
(SERPS)
through
PAID
means
(that’s
what
differentiates
this
from
Search
 Engine
Optimizaiton).

SEM
includes
Pay
Per
Click
(PPC)
and
contextual
advertising.
The
 New
York
times
defines
SEM
as
“the
practice
of
buying
paid
search
listings.”

 Pay
Per
Click
Marketing
–
Pay
Per
Click
(PPC)
advertising
can
be
found
on
search
engines
 (like
Google,
Yahoo
and
MSN)
as
well
as
other
sites
such
as
blogs.
Typically
speaking,
in
PPC
 advertising,
you
only
pay
for
the
advertisement
when
your
ad
is
clicked
on
by
a
user.
The
 price
you
pay
for
that
click
(or
the
cost
per
click
–
CPC)
will
vary
depending
upon
the
 competition
in
your
field.
The
great
thing
about
PPC
advertising
is
that
your
marketing
 efforts
can
be
extremely
targeted
as
your
ads
are
triggered
only
when
a
user
searches
for
 the
keywords
you
have
specified.

 PPC
advertisements
are
often
referred
to
as
sponsored
links
or
ads
and
appear
on
the
top
or
 sides
of
the
organic
search
results
(the
results
that
naturally
rank
well).
 Search
Engine
Optimization
(SEO)
–
Search
engine
optimization
(SEO)
takes
place
when
 you
try
to
improve
the
organic
search
engine
rankings
for
a
particular
website.
By
creating
 search
engine
friendly
content,
optimized
website
tags
and
increasing
the
number
of
 incoming
links
to
your
site,
you
are
on
your
way
to
moving
up
the
search
engines.
SEO
is
an
 art
form
of
its
own
as
it
is
important
to
understand
the
factors
that
search
engines
use
to
 rank
sites.
For
long
term
results,
it
is
important
to
continually
focus
on
the
SEO
of
your
 site…because
good
search
engine
rankings
equal
FREE
traffic.

(We
will
really
focus
on
 SEO
in
an
upcoming
course
–
and
I
will
also
give
you
a
behind
the
scenes
look
at
my
 ShoeMoney
SEO
Tools.)
 Banner
Ads
–
You’ve
seen
banner
ads
everywhere!
If
you
don’t
know
by
now,
a
banner
ad
 is
a
graphic
image
used
on
websites
to
promote
a
product
or
service.
Banner
ads
come
in
 numerous
sizes,
but
are
often
rectangles
460
pixels
wide
by
60
pixels
high.
Also
460
x
55
 and
392
x
72
sizes
are
commonly
used
and
more
recently

the
125
x
125
ad
size
has
become
 popular
for
bloggers.

Slide 10: Pop
Up
Ads
–
I
am
positive
that
you
have
also
viewed
a
good
amount
of
pop
up
ads
in
the
 time
you
have
spent
online.
Pop
Up
Ads
are,
of
course,
the
advertisement
windows
that
pop
 up
after
arriving
at
a
site.
They
try
to
generate
traffic
or
capture
your
email
address.
In
 recent
years,
this
marketing
tactic
has
become
less
popular
since
many
online
users
now
 utilize
pop
up
blocker
technology.
However,
windows
inside
the
site
are
still
a
great
option.
 Mobile
Marketing
–
By
setting
up
a
short
code
and
having
users
register
for
your
SMS
text
 messages,
you
can
communicate
effectively
with
your
audience.
You
can
also
optimize
your
 website
so
that
it
appears
correctly
on
mobile
phone
browsers.
 Social
Media
Marketing
–
According
to
Wikipedia,
social
media
marketing
is
an
 engagement
with
online
communities
to
generate
exposure,
opportunity
and
sales.
The
 number‐one
advantage
is
generating
exposure
for
the
business,
followed
by
increasing
 traffic
and
building
new
business
partnerships.
Common
social
media
marketing
tools
 include
Twitter,
Blogs,
LinkedIn,
Facebook
and
YouTube.
 If
you
want
to
take
advantage
of
all
of
the
benefits
that
Internet
marketing
provides
you
and
 your
business,
you'll
only
be
successful
if
you
have
the
real
secret
sauce
‐
TRAFFIC.
If
you
 don't
attract
users,
you
won't
be
able
to
tell
them
about
the
products
on
your
site
that
may
 fulfill
their
needs.
Most
importantly,
you
have
to
spur
them
to
take
action
(whether
this
 means
providing
their
email
address
or
purchasing
a
product).
More
traffic
equals
more
 money
‐
it's
that
simple.
Even
if
you
have
the
most
beautiful
website
with
all
the
 functionality
you
could
dream
of,
it
does
you
AND
consumers
no
good
if
they
don't
realize
 that
you
exist.
 Excited
Yet?
 Hopefully
this
course
has
given
you
some
better
insight
into
various
aspects
of
the
online
 marketing
world.
As
we
progress
throughout
the
12
weeks,
your
understanding
of
each
of
 these
areas
will
increase
ten
fold.
You
will
understand
the
terminology
used,
how
to
best
 implement
each
tactic,
and
ultimately
–
how
you
can
launch
your
own
online
business.
12
 weeks
and
counting!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Slide 11: ShoeMoney
Action
Plan:
Week
1
 In
order
to
be
prepared
for
next
week’s
course
about
Affiliate
Marketing,
it
is
highly
 recommended
that
you
complete
each
of
the
action
steps
listed
here.

  Analyze
all
of
the
pros
and
cons
that
I
have
listed
in
this
guide
and
determine
if
this
is
 truly
an
industry
you
are
prepared
to
learn
about
and
give
100%
towards.
  Think
of
your
top
five
passions,
hobbies
or
topics
that
you
know
a
lot
about
and
would
 be
interested
in
creating
a
site
for.
(Example:
I
love
fishing.)
  List
all
of
the
information,
services
and
features
that
you
believe
you
could
or
would
 like
to
offer
on
each
of
your
possible
sites.
(Example:
I
will
make
a
site
about
fishing
 hotspots.)
  Come
up
with
a
list
of
at
least
10
companies
that
are
related
to
your
site
and
would
 possibly
be
interested
in
advertising
on
your
site.
(Start
thinking
of
where
the
money
will
 come
from.)
(Example:
Cabela’s,
Dick’s
Sporting
Goods,
etc.)
  Conduct
research
for
each
of
your
site
ideas
to
see
if
others
have
already
sufficiently
 filled
the
need
in
that
space.
(Do
not
give
up
if
there
are
already
others
in
the
space.
If
you
 believe
that
you
can
do
it
better
than
them,
then
go
forward
with
your
idea.)
  Narrow
down
your
five
ideas
to
the
one
you
believe
could
be
the
most
successful.
(This
 will
be
the
idea
you
work
on
throughout
the
remainder
of
this
course.)










  Create
a
name
for
your
business.

  Create
a
brand
new
Gmail
(Google
email)
account
that
you
will
use
for
your
Internet
 marketing
purposes
only
and
will
be
associated
with
all
of
your
Internet
marketing
 accounts
and
purchases.
(Keeping
this
separate
from
personal
emails
is
great
step
towards
 increasing
your
productivity
right
now.)
  Conduct
research
and
speak
with
a
financial
and/or
legal
adviser
in
order
to
 understand
the
tax
and
personal
protection
benefits
of
setting
up
an
LLC
or
other
formal
 organization.
Then
follow
through
with
their
recommendations
which
may
include
 obtaining
a
Federal
TAX
ID
number
and
proper
business
licenses
(per
your
city
and
state).
 (LegalZoom
is
a
great
resource
for
setting
up
a
simple
LLC.)
  Organize
a
folder/binder
where
you
will
record
and
save
all
accounting
information,
 including
purchases
and
expenditures.
(Per
your
financial
adviser’s
advice,
you
may
also
 determine
that
you
should
invest
in
personal
accounting
software
such
as
QuickBooks.)
 I
know
some
of
these
actions
may
seem
a
little
less
exciting
than
just
launching
a
site
 tomorrow
morning.
(Trust
me
–
that
is
the
exciting
part!)
But
if
you
want
to
start
your
 business
correctly
and
protect
yourself,
then
follow
the
steps
here
and
get
ready
for
