At least some basic knowledge of HTML, the language used to create websites, is important if you are interested in Internet marketing or affiliate marketing.
HTML is relatively easy to learn and basic instructions are readily available online.
Please don't tell me "I can't learn HTML." Can you follow instructions? If you can, you can learn and implement basic HTML.
I often go to HTML Goodies if I am stuck and just need some basic help.
I suggest that you add the site to your bookmarks toolbar as I did.

Estimate Your Traffic With Google Tool
The Google Traffic Estimator is a very important free tool that can serve two purposes well.
1. If you are buying ads on Google search pages, this tool can tell you how much you can expect to pay for each keyword you want to use. It will tell you the cost per click and estimate the number of daily clicks. Before you set your budget for your campaign, this is crucial information to have to insure the success of your Internet marketing campaign using Adwords.
2. If you are a publisher (information provider) who features Google Ads on your site, the Traffic Estimator can give you information about how likely visitors may be to click on your links given the keywords that predominate in your content. You will of course have to estimate and the tool is most useful in this way to compare keywords.
Add the Traffic Estimator to your arsenal of SEO research tools to help you zero in on the content you would like to provide that might also be most profitable for you.

Google Analytics Key Research Tool
If you have not installed Google Analytics tracking to each and every one of your websites and blogs, run, do not walk to Google Analytics right now!
At least for now, this extremely powerful tool is completely free, and I can not see how one can mount an effective SEO campaign without using an analysis to tool to monitor websites regularly.
Among some important metrics you will be able to track:
-keywords visitors use to find you
-top content pages
-bounce rate
-time spent on pages
-visitor loyalty/returning visitors
-traffic sources
You can also link the results to your Adwords campaign, analyze your site in real time and more.
IMPORTANT: Once you sign up go to the Filter option and remember to block your own ip address.

Make A Home Business Plan
The US government's small business site at SBA.gov has a wealth of free information.
It can be overwhelming but worthwhile to spend some time learning business basics. Much of Internet marketing is just business basics applied to the Internet. The basic principles in running an Internet-based business are similar to those of non-Internet based businesses.
Because most internet marketing focused businesses are home based businesses as mine is, I wanted to post here a business plan for the home business.
Running any business without a plan is like walking down a long and dangerous path blindfolded. It is wrong to think that you will set up shop selling something on the Internet, sit back, relax and wait for the profits to come rolling in.
