Developing a Web Site for Health Sales

[tripletdad]

I am a newly licensed life & Health Agent. I am considering creating a web site to sell health insurance. My initial marketing would consist of Pay Per Click advertising on Google and working with a SEO Company. My question is can I make a living doing this. Is this even worth attempting?

Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you!

My advice is to find a better way to market a product that might not pay enough commissions to live off within the next few months.

You might try selling life insurance or medicare products.

Timing is bad. Nobody even knows if agents have a place after the next few months.

pay per click advertising is expensive to go after certain markets but you can niche market certain products and can make sales off internet And creating a new website to sell health insurance will be hard and expensive because its a broad search term and it will be a new website that wont rank as well. If you can find an old domain name that has some age you can buy would help with your search engine ranking. go to go daddy and search for older domains that are for sale if you are going to try and rank on google. also do a search for your local area where you are at say Texas health insurance and see how many listings that come up for your local area. then go to yahoo and type in Link:website address see how many links the local agents have to thier websites if under 50 you have good chance ranking for your local market.
hope this helps sorry i dont have any pretty pictures or discourging remarks to post for you.
Remember anything is possible if you set your mind to it .

Pay per click advertising like google adwords is a risky investment most especially when you have no enough idea on the fundamentals.

If you want to invest in online marketing I would suggest that you start it by building a website to create an online presence - have it optimized. You have to remember that SEO can be done for free; PPC advertising requires money.

PPC doesn't have to be risky. You can start with a very small investment and limit your spend on a daily or monthly basis.

I started with PPC during a very tough time for me. When I started my agency I also worked two part time jobs and was on call for a third. The agency had a negative cash flow, so I needed to work somewhere else to pay my bills. 50 bucks was a big deal to me during that time.

I lost money with my $50 a month campaigns, but I learned as I went along and eventually started making money. I kept learning and increasing my investment and at one time got a good ROI on a PPC budget of $1,000 a day.

If you start out with $1,000 a day, you are guaranteed to lose money, but PPC can work if you start small and do your research.

I promote my sites with both SEO and PPC. Both work. Both take a lot of time to do learn enough to do right. The time investment doesn't end after you know what to do. You have to do a lot of work on an ongoing basis as well.

I do get a much better ROI (even if you include the value of my time) on SEO than PPC, but SEO takes a long time to ring the cash register. PPC has the potential to put money in your pocket right away.

Tip:
Spend a couple hundred dollars on Amazon before you think about spending a couple thousand dollars on an SEO expert. Even if you decide to hire someone later, you'll do a better job of selecting an SEO person or firm.

Well, it was risky - at least to me...I had done ppc campaign a couple of years ago - it was not successful as I wanted it to be..it was really a complex task for me until I passed the GAP exam...

Based on my experience, PPC can really be a difficult task for beginners - that's what I meant in my previous post - do your homework.

It seems to me that you are successful with your PPC campaign - perhaps you can give him some useful PPC resources? :-)
