Internet's birth has created an enormous board. Companies all over the world are now shifting from the traditional methods of marketing and advertisement to internet marketing. So they acquire a space in the huge board so that the entire world can see their products and services brochures and catalogs. Internet marketing, also called e-marketing or online marketing, has become a new business with a fair amount of competition. Of course, one has to make his/her own website popular for more people to see them.  Read more... (525 words, 1 image, estimated 2:06 mins reading time)

By now you have an idea of where you want to go with your idea. Some of youwill consider it a hobby; some will see the potential it has for being a great business. There are thousands who do both and that's fine too. Twentyyears ago this internet experience only existed for a few select organizations. Now, though, the entire world can benefit from their dabbling into the world of technology.

If you are looking for this site to be a hobby, you're in for a treat. There are thousands of websites dedicated to showing you, the "newbie," how to make it all work. Domains, inexpensive web hosting, you name it. And while there are website that charge you, most of those websitesare free. Why? I don't know, but it seems like the adage of paying it forward applies here. In any event, you'll want to do the same after you figure it all out. If you're reading this, then you are ahead of those who keep procrastinating.

Next, you'll want to register a domain. Say what? Register a domain. A domain is what you enter into the web browser. Get used to this word because you'll see it a lot. A domain name is, like the example in a previous article, lampshade.com or www.lampshade.com. That's it. That's all there is to the definition of a domain name. Actually, it's everything before the period such as my example. The dot com (or .org or .net} is the suffix). See, there's nothing to it. Of course, this is just the front end of the domain. The "back end" is a bunch of numbers and dots. But that's for a different lesson.

Registering a domain is easy and relatively inexpensive. You've probably seen the Godaddy commercials during the Super Bowl. For the last several years, they've been very enticing. They are probably the world's best known domain registrar. I don't understand what exactly happens when you pay the fee but Godaddy has an agreement with the registration body: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ICANN. that body makes sure that there are enough suffixes (.net, .mobi., .asia, .org, etc) for the world. I'm sure they do much more but that's all we need to know for now.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of domain registrars. Godaddy.com is one. 1and1.com is another. Type "domain registration" into Yahoo (with the quotes) and a kazillion of them will display. Search around on the first page for one that you feel comfortable with and then do it. Most of those sites are very newbie friendly (have you gotten used to the term "newbie" yet? We were all where you are right now and pretty soon you'll be giving out advice just like the rest).
Of course, most of these companies will accept Paypal or your credit card. If not, search around for one until you find one. They do exist. I can honestly say that when you register your first domain, there's not a feeling like it in the world! After you've registered a few, that feeling fades away but you still have the remembrance of your first domain.

Lastly, when registering your domain, make sure you check "Private" or "Private registration." Simply put, it costs a couple of extra dollars (especially nice when you've got a coupon code for a reduced price), but the benefits are worth it. In fact, you can see those benefits as you search around the site for a short period of time, and probably there's a question mark box right near the word Private.

In this article, I've tried to walk you through the domain registration process. Next we'll explore inexpensive web hosting. Good luck.

Every business man and woman has a company in mind that symbolizes successful business to them. For me, it’s Microsoft and Bill Gates. I know that not everyone likes Microsoft, but hey… I remember the virtual Stone Age that ruled in the world before Windows!

Microsoft has literally impacted the entire world’s lifestyles and economies. That spells S-U-C-C-E-S-S to me. Maybe that’s why I was so shocked to find out that this “Super Company” was losing money on one of its newest and high-demand products.

The very idea had me scratching my head. Microsoft and profit losses go together about like boxing gloves and fine china. When I think of the computer giant, I automatically associate it with big bucks and success. It caught me by surprise to find out that the Xbox 360 has cost Microsoft millions of dollars!

Why would this globally recognized business be willing to lose millions of dollars on just one product? It’s a simple idea known as market dominance, and they’re interested in being king in a brand new market of video game consoles.

Market dominance works like a word association game. For example, I say department store. What pops into your mind? There’s a pretty good chance it was Wal Mart. If I say computer, you’re likely to think Microsoft - unless you’re a hard-core Macintosh or Linux fan.

The goal to market dominance is to have your business name pop into the minds of your potential customers in direct association with the product or service that you offer. Now, don’t sweat it. You don’t have to sink millions of dollars into a profit losing product to do it.

It really can be as simples as these four easy steps…

1. NEVER allow a customer to leave without getting contact information.
Capturing contact information is crucial whether your business is online or offline. It can be as simples as a questionnaire on your counter or a pop-up box on your web page. Do whatever it takes to get the information you need to stay in contact with them.
2. Use Direct Mail
I’d suggest using flyers and post cards about 18 times each year to keep your potential customers linked. After a while, they’ll become familiar with your business and know your logo and message by heart. After all, the kids don’t even write home from college that often!
3. Use the Telephone
As the popularity of telemarketers hits an all-time low, businesses tend to shy away from using it. Don’t forget that it is still a valuable tool that can keep you hooked up with potential consumers.
4. Email
If you haven’t invested in an email campaign this would be a good time to start. Email is a great way to effectively build a solid bond with your audience. Ezines, or online newsletters, are perfect for setting yourself up as the expert in the field. If you feed your consumers a weekly tidbit of valuable information, they’ll soon come expect excellence in association with your business.

Gaining market dominance can be as simple as keeping in constant touch in a variety of ways with potential consumers, but one of the most profitable investments you’ll ever make.
