If you want to make make money on the Internet from information you already know/ have, you need to do Market Research.

The Internet makes this easy and here the first step you need to take … find out if people are looking for what you have to offer.

I had to break the video into two parts to upload it to Youtube, so here is the second part.

The next video will be about doing Market Research to find out if people will pay for the information you have to offer.

Since making money on the internet is the reason people want to start an Internet Business, it’s time to take a look at what’s involved.

I’ve already mentioned some of the first things you need to do to get started with your online business, but it’s now time to take a look at what is going to make the money?

What are people going to willingly … even happily, give you money for?

Take a look at this video to see some basic steps to finding out.

In my next post, I will show you how to see if people want this information.

Before you begin work on your website or Blog, you need to get the code needed to install Google Analytics.
Google Analytics is a free, reliable tool that tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site.

Basically, it will show you how people found your web site, so that you can fix problems and also focus your marketing resources on advertising that delivers a better Return On Investment. You can also use it to improve your site to convert more visitors.

Adding Google Analytics to your web site is an essential step, as it gives you more of an advantage over your competition, as you will be able to see what’s working and not working, not just guess.

To use Google Analytics, you need to sign up for a free account with Google and then insert a simple piece of code on each web page or into your Blog.
After you install it, you will be able to analyse and monitor all the visitors to your website.

For a full list of the freely available Google Analytics features, go to: http://www.google.com/analytics/features.html

Instructions To Install & Configure Google Analytics:

A. INSTALL GOOGLE ANALYTICS

To install Google Analytics, sign up for a free account at http://analytics.google.com

You need to have a Google Account to do this, which is also free, just follow the directions on screen.

B. CONFIGURE GOOGLE ANALYTICS

i) Follow the steps provided by Google for creating a profile for your domain name.

ii) Take your time, as any mistakes may not be noticed until after you have done a lot of work, which may need to be re-done.

iii) Once these steps are completed, Google will provide you with some HTML code that copy to the bottom of every web page, immediately before the HTML </body>.

If you have a Wordpress blog, download this PlugIn to make life easier.

Be sure to select “New Tracking Code (ga.js)”, it looks similar to this:

<script type=”text/javascript”>

var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);

document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));

</ script>

<script type=”text/javascript”>

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-#######-#”);

pageTracker._trackPageview();

</ script>

C. To add this HTML code please follow these steps:

a) Scroll down to the bottom of each page, to where you see the body tag:  </body>

b) Right before the </body> tag, paste the lines of HTML code provided by Google.

c) Save the changes.

D. ACCESS YOUR WEBSTATS VIA GOOGLE ANALYTICS

To access your stats, log in to your Analytics account at http://analytics.google.com.

I’ve made a few screen capture videos in the past, but yesterday I tried out the new “Record Powerpoint” option in Camtasia 6.
The video is just an advert for my web site, using an easier to remember URL.

It was an interesting test, I had trouble getting the Audio to record during the screen capture and because I hadn’t the time, I didn’t try to hard to fix the problem, instead, I just narrated over the recorded presentation.

You’ll also notice that the quality isn’t great, and I think that this is due to the original setting, but it could be due to Camtasia 6 recording the Powerpoint presentation in full screen.
This is something I’ll have to test, because I don’t think they would have the option if it didn’t work.

Here is the video, there is no SEO and I have made it private, so it won’t mess up anything I upload in the future.
