You would think that in general the answer to this question would be "yes", but is it really? Obviously, making money on the Internet is worthwhile, but as with any type of business, it is only worthwhile if it is done properly. Put your wallet away and consider: why spend thousands of dollars on a television marketing campaign, and no one sees your advertising or your commercials, and you do not reach your target audience and generate sales?  You can now understand that Internet marketing is worthwhile when it works for you.

The most fundamental principle is to make sure that you reach your target audience. As they are the ones interested in purchasing your products or services. Just consider this: it is much easier to sell your products or services to those who already have an interest in the products and services that you have to offer, than it is to convince those who are not interested in your products or services at all.

Imagine your business selling motorbike helmets. You will want to market your products to those who enjoy riding their motorbikes either competitively or as a leisure activity because among this audience you are likely to find people who may be interested in purchasing a new helmet. It would make sense to place an advertisement for your business on a website selling helmets and jackets, or a website which organizes motorbike trips in various locations. Conversely it would not make sense to place your advertisement on a website selling shoes because you are not likely to reach a large target audience here. There may be some motorbike fanatics with an interest in shoes but your advertising money and efforts would be much better spent placing advertisements with websites more closely related to your business.

Another important factor to consider when advertising is space on another Internet website.  You are purchasing this site so you have to bear in mind the amount of traffic the other website receives. You need to place your advertisement on a website which is closely related to your own, and likely to attract a similar audience, but you also want your advertisement to receive a large amount of exposure through traffic and advertising. For this reason it is important for your advertisement to appear on a website which receives a great amount of traffic each month.  This is always something to bear in mind if you want to make money on the internet.  However, define whether you are really making a good impact in your advertising campaign or whether you are going too far over board with your campaign.  Make your advertisement easy to approach in your key locations, so internet users want to make that initial visit before purchasing.  If your site is an overkill, they will be tentative in approaching it, and others may be put off altogether.  This is definitely harmful for any business, and is regarded as spam. They would be unlikely to visit you again, so take care in your advertising.

Imagine, your advertisement is up and you need to know how it is all progressing. Obviously it is important to carefully monitor the results of your marketing efforts, making changes to your campaign as necessary. You want to make sure your marketing efforts are paying off and you are not regarded as spam. The best way to do this is to evaluate the results of your advertising carefully. A particular way to do this is to place special coding in each one of your advertisements, so you will know which advertisements are generating business for you, and which ones are not. You can use this information to decide whether you should modify the ineffective website or stop running the ineffective websites - full stop. If you decide to modify them you will want to continue to monitor the results to determine whether or not the changes made the advertisements more effective.  These basic techniques will put you on the road to internet success; you will then be ready to begin your adventure.  Follow your passion in making money and find out more information.
