Setting your Online Business Up for Success! |
by: Charles & Susan Truett |
There is a common misconception that an "online business" requires no investment...that you can make money online without spending any. When we hear this from people who are desparately trying to build a successful online business it makes us angry! We believe the misconception is primarily due to all of the hype and false promises that arrive daily in our inboxes. Emails promising us that we can make millions of dollars with no financial output while we sit at home and do nothing. It's insane and it's not the truth. The truth is that you must treat an online business just as you would a business in the conventional world. You must plan on investing time, money and effort to ensure your success. The good news is that your investment in an online business will be MUCH, MUCH less than that of a business in the conventional world. With an online business, there are essentials that you must have in order for your business to run smoothly and become successful. You can literally run an effective online business for $100-$200 a month. Later in this article, we will show you how you can access many of these essentials in one place for less that $10.00 a month! But first... Here are six essentials that you MUST have to run your online business. 1. Your Own Website This includes a domain name and web hosting for your site. You must have a central place to send your customers, even if you are selling multiple products or services. 2. A Professional Autoresponder An absolute MUST for any online business. If you're not using an autoresponder, you're losing money! That's the bottom line. Your autoresponder should have the ability to create subscriptions via email and web form and should be a professional one with no ads! Fr~e autoresponders look unprofessional and they are not reliable. 3. Ad Tracker This is probably the most underused tool that we know of. Consider this - most people who are NOT making money on the Net have never used an Ad Tracker. Yet, ALL of the people that we know who ARE making money on the Net - use one daily. It makes no sense to spend money and time on advertising if you're not going to be able to determine which ads are producing and which ones are not. An Ad Tracker will solve this problem and save you time and money in the long run. 4. Products or Services You must have something to sell! This can be a service such as web or graphic design, an mlm/affiliate program or products, tangible or digital. If you don't have a specific product or service in mind, there are thousands of profitable digital products that come with resell rights. This means you can resell them and keep 100% of the profit! 5. You must know HOW and WHERE to advertise to bring targeted prospects to your Website! You can save yourself a tremendous amount of time, money and frustration by learning the effective advertising methods that are available online. There are countless worthless ones that are simply a waste of time. If you're new online, you won't know this unless you find someone who is successful online and follow their lead. Find a mentor or a membership site that offers step by step Tutorials on online promotion. Make sure that the tutorials are updated frequently to keep up with the changing times of the Internet! 6. Leads The lifeline of any online business! Just because you have a website and products to sell, that doesn't mean you're going to make money! To make money, you must drive targeted visitors to your website. There are THOUSANDS of companies on the web that sell Leads but if you just pick one out of the blue, it's trial and error. Do some research and find a good source for leads. Again, you can achieve this by finding someone who is succcessful and following their lead. Or join a membership site that includes Leads as a part of their package. We promised we'd tell you about a membership site that includes many of these essential items in one place. Have a look at http://www.viralprofits.com With your membership, you get a professional autoresponder, ad tracking, Leads, Digital Products with resell rights, step by step training tutorials AND you can earn money by referring others to the site. The tutorials are updated frequently and NEW products are added each month so that you always have something new to offer your customers! So there you have it. With these six essentials, you've got the foundation for a successful online business. Without them, it's going to be a tough road ahead. Use them as a "checklist" and make sure your online business is armed for success!

How to Build Customer Trust in your Auctions!
How to Build Customer Trust in your Auctions! |
by: Joe Clare |
| Whether you realize it or not you may be giving your auction visitors a reason not to buy your product or service. And it could be just the smallest of issues that will cause them to think twice about purchasing from your auction. As explained in my book "eBay Marketing Wholesale SourcePak" you must remove these obstacles from your auction sales page so your visitors will become bidders. Below you'll find some obstacles and how you can solved them on your auction page. Is This Seller Trustworthy? This is a question that all your serious auction visitors will ask themselves. As they do not know you they are going to want to check you out. But how will they do this? Well, the first thing they would look for is your feedback rating. Feedback is a way eBay allows buyers and sellers to rate their experiences with each other. If you have a stellar feedback rating your visitor will feel you are trustworthy. Your goal should be to increase your auction feedback and keep it positive. Another way a visitor might check to see if you are trustworthy is to click over to your about "Me Page". The about "Me Page" is a page you can create in your eBay account. It allows you to give your potential bidders some background information about you and your business. You can also include your feedback and other listed auctions on this page as well. This is where you have a chance to tell your potential bidder about yourself and your business, why he/she should buy from you. I would highly recommend you take advantage of this and create an about "Me Page" in your eBay account. Also people may have questions regarding your auction. So you could get an email asking about your product or service. You should welcome this opportunity as a way to show your potential bidder you are a real person. Take this time to show your integrity, honesty, credibility, and expertise in your product or service. Include on your auction page an email link and tell your visitors that any inquires are welcome. What About A Guarantee? You always need some sort of guarantee for your product or service. Again it will help to show your visitor you are a trustworthy business person. Remember that your buyer assumes most of the risk here. He/she is buying from someone that they have never met, a product that they have only seen in a photo, and they must pay for that product in advance of receiving it. A guarantee that is appropriate for your product or service will help your visitor become a bidder. How Do I Pay? The more options you have for payment the more visitors will become bidders. There are many means of payment. The normal being PayPal. PayPal is an eBay company so having a PayPal payment button on your auction is an easy and free option to include on your auction sales page. But besides PayPal you may want to consider excepting other payment options as well.. What About Delivery? Always fully disclose how your product or service is delivered and your delivery charge. Whether you are sending it via the postal service or a courier your bidder will want to know how he/she should expect to receive the purchase and what the cost will be. You can usually approximate deliver time and cost based on information you obtain from your local post office or courier. If you answer the above questions on your auction page you will be building customer trust and he/she is more likely to become a bidder. And more bidders means more profits for you! Happy Selling!

The Real Truth about - "How to Make Money on the Internet."
The Real Truth about - "How to Make Money on the Internet." |
by: Michael A Fowler, M.B.A. |
| You know... for a few years even I doubted that network marketing was a real business... Sure, I read about how to make money at home and how easy it was to make money online. Burning the candle at both ends... listening to seminars that told me all about residual income, how to achieve the status of “network marketing professional”, reading e-books that told me how great life is at the top... But – Hey... Hold On! How do you get there? I’ve joined a business but my upline doesn’t respond to my questions... the company are ‘brain dead’ and I don’t know what I am doing exactly... Is that how people make money on the Internet? Is that any way to start off in network marketing? Will that keep me in the business? It certainly did not. Then along came another business and a support team that I never even contemplated could exist anywhere on the Internet. That was many years ago... If I ever had any advice to pass on to people who are considering network marketing as a profession, then it would be to take a good look at what support is available, before even thinking about making money online. Next, have a look at how the company is structured. Don’t ever sign up for anything until you have checked it out very thoroughly. How ‘open to scrutiny’ is the business you are considering? If there are any conditions before you have a look, run for cover and take your money with you! Now... back to the subject. Is the ability to make money online for real? Yes, it is. I would ask anyone to dispute that fact. So many are disgruntled by their failure in network marketing but how many actually stood the test of time and worked at it as hard as they would with a boss standing over them? How many worked the same hours as they would in a job? I can honestly tell you that not many do the above and most have higher “Online” expectations than the network marketing company can deliver, or the average person can hope to accomplish. Building a downline is not easy but can be achieved with the right people duplicating your process and getting the right online support. Network Marketing is the only way to produce a lasting residual income. To make money at home, without having to find the funds that would normally be required to pay you a similar amount each month from a large investment. Why do people give up this ‘retirement plan’ so easily? Why do people work 40 plus hours a week just to pay the bills and yet do nothing to make money on the Internet and build a residual income for themselves? Why is a process that takes 40 years to accomplish considered a ‘better alternative’ than a network marketing plan that can accomplish this task within 4-5 years, with a similar amount of work? Yes, there are ‘scoundrel companies’ out there. That is why ‘due diligence’ is so important. How many people actually do any? Then they wonder why they are failing at it... Would you buy something from someone that you couldn’t see, couldn’t talk to and had no visible representation, no credibility and no experience in what they were doing or trying to sell you? No, you wouldn’t, yet it happens on the Internet every day! Yes, network marketing is a real business and you can make money on the Internet. It produces real full-time residual incomes for thousands of people worldwide but you must choose the right business with the right people and take the time to build your dream of Financial Freedom. Every time you think of quitting, stop and look at the alternatives... All people see, is what it is costing them. Does that ever amount into what you would pay for a franchise or alternative business? No, it does not. Whatever you may think of network marketing, it is still the only way that the ‘small guy’ can achieve financial freedom and success. Millions of people are making their money from home. Do they need expensive premises and huge overheads? No, they make money online, on the Internet, working at home.

Your Guide to Making an Online Income
Your Guide to Making an Online Income |
by: Ray Mann |
| Copyright 2005 Ray Mann Working online can provide many freedoms. An online income can also be difficult to maintain. There are many different types of online incomes. The best way to figure out what is right for you is to find support online from others who are trying to make an online income. Your reasons for trying to find an online income can be many different things. You may be wanting an extra source of income or just looking to leave the 9to5 world. There are benefits no matter your reason for trying online income. - You are your own boss. - You directly control how much you make. - You chose the type of job you want to do. - No commuting. - No special dress code. This list could go on and on. The benefits are what you make them. The different types of income online range from easy programs to telecommuting positions that work much like a job outside the home. Residual income is where you sell a product through a website from another company. This involves very little work on your part and the income keeps coming without anything more on your part. As long as people are visiting your site and buying what you offer, you make money. These types of programs also usually involve programs where you can sign up other people to sell and you make a cut of any income they make. The possibilities for income are huge if you chose a good company and advertise well. Another type of online income is a business opportunity. It is like residual income, but you have to continuously work to sell. You interact with your clients and can also sell offline. These types of programs usually require an investment because you are essentially building your own business. These investments buy you your promotion materials and sample of products. Telecommuting jobs are online income where you work at home. These jobs are like a job you would have outside the home. You are given work by a company and expected to perform according to their guidelines. You have to put in time to make money. These are three examples of ways to make money online. New ideas are cropping up everyday, but beware of scams that may be lurking to take advantage of your time and money. A scam is where you are tricked out of your time or money by someone posing an income opportunity. There are some ways to spot scams. You should be wary of anyone who asks for payment for processing fees or other clerical fees. These are usually scams to steal your money. The easiest way to tell a scam is if the company doesn’t give out a lot of information or you have to pay for information. You should be able to ask questions and know everything you need to know before investing in an opportunity. Perhaps the number one way to avoid scams is to talk to others who are making online income. Search for websites about working at home and look for message boards where you can talk with others. This will help you to get advice on scams and how to avoid them. You can also check companies out with the Better Business Bureau. The most important thing to remember is if it seems too good to be true than it probably is. Online income can give you a great way to build your finances. With the many choices of income opportunities you should easily be able to find something that works for you. Just be careful and check out any opportunity thoroughly. www.ftc.gov www.wahm.com About the author: Ray Mann can help YOU start your own profitable business on the Internet within the next 24 hours...

Mazu E-currency Exchange
Mazu E-currency Exchange |
by: Tim Rohrer |
| If you are like many of the thousands of people trying to make money online today, then you are probably trying to find a program that works. I have tried Quixstar, Market America and Amway, all of which require you to build a down line and sell a product. The one and only program that I found to work is the e-currency exchange program. Electronic currency exchange is the fastest growing online business today. Currency exchanging allows users to tap into a global network where they can trade e-currencies such as INTgold, E-gold, Netpay and many more on a daily basis. Here is how it all works. Initially the user creates a portfolio that is compounded daily, with gains ranging anywhere from .3% to .5% of their portfolio value. If a portfolio has a value of $5,000 then .3% gains per day would come out to roughly $450 a month in net profit. Once a user has reached the $5,000 mark there are other ways to maximize their profits. At the $5,000 mark, the user can apply for what is called a console. A console allows the user to build float and move funds from and to e-currencies such as from INTgold to Netpay. When a user builds float, he or she is building up capital that they can temporarily lend to an e-currency to complete a transaction. Let me explain in more detail. If you have $400 in float, you can temporarily lend your $400 to an e-currency to process transactions for other traders. In return for lending that $400 to an e-currency to process a transaction they will pay you 6% of the total amount you lent to them, which turns out to be $24. The $400 you initially lent to an e-currency is now $424. Money is constantly flowing in and out of the global e-currency network, therefore is it possible to process multiple transaction just like the one above on a daily basis. E-currency is a relatively unknown, but lucrative business. The learning curve is extremely slow, however does pay off. I have tried to learn the e-currency exchange network sitting in chat rooms, reading forums and asking questions. This method became tiresome and time consuming. After spending countless hours trying to figure out e-currency on my own, I eventually purchased a guide that showed me how to maximize my trades and work the system in a simplified manner. If you are truly interested in e-currency trading, there are plenty of resources available online to help anyone get started. About the author: Tim Rohrer is an established writer and e-currency trader. There is only one program that has proven to pay the bills month to month. http://www.mazumoney.net Circulated by Article Emporium |
To People Who Want To Make Money At Home, Make Money Online - But Can't Get Funding
To People Who Want To Make Money At Home, Make Money Online - But Can't Get Funding |
by: Michael A Fowler, M.B.A. |
| Starting a business? Need adequate funding? To make money on the Internet, you need the funding to start your business. The first place to look for financing is right there at home. You plan to make money at home, so why not sort out some useable space? Make an inventory of items you don't need, or never use and have a garage sale. Most people are quite shocked by how much money can be raised in a single day, or over the weekend. You could try a profit sharing scheme with those who have trust in your abilities. Your close family or friends might want to help. If your credit rating is good, taking out a small manageable loan might be best for you. Starting any business carries a certain financial risk, so make sure you can carry the burden without putting yourself in financial jeopardy. Before you start to make money online, you will certainly have to invest some. No business can be run on fresh air and goodwill alone. As a sign I read once said; “In God We Trust – All Others Pay Cash”...
