The Basic Steps To Online Business

Getting started online should not be a difficult thing.
Judging by the price of some of the manuals on how to do
it, you would think that it is. But getting started online
involves a few basic steps that are easy to do.

Once you are up and running online, you can make changes
and adjustments for as long as you want. But if you are
just sitting around hoping to get it all figured out before
you jump into it, you will be sitting for a long time.

Many people make money the first day or certainly the first
month online. I did. I can start a new campaign today and
make money this week. I can mail an email today and have
money tonight.

So how do you do it?

If you have never done anything online, you must start
simple.

You need:

1) A web site

2) A topic

3) An autoresponder

4) A product to recommend (yours or an affiliate product)

That is all you need to get started.

To get a web site, find a hosting company that offers a web
site builder, unless you know Frontpage or Dreamweaver. Go
to the web site hosting site you choose, follow the
directions, and in a few hours you should have your own
domain name and a web site.

The web site builder will come with step by step
directions--simply follow the directions.

You must decide what you want to excel in online. What do
you know a lot about? This may take some brainstorming, but
most people have at least one thing they do better than
many others. Find it and do it.

You must get an autoresponder so you can automate
everything you do, or you will become attached at the hip
to your computer. You do not want that.

If you have already created a product, great, write a sales
page and get started selling. If not, go to clickbank and
find somebody else's product to promote.

Go get started. You will never succeed if you do not get
started. Of course you might fail. Maybe that is what it
is. You are afraid to fail. Then you are afraid to succeed.
Just get started.

Jeff & Charles

Say Goodbye to Time-Wasters

Hi Nichers,

The true measure of success may be how much time you spend
doing exactly what you want. Never mind the money, if you
already have enough. How much of your time is spent doing
that which either aggravates you or wastes your time? Even
the very rich can find themselves caught up in stressful
situations that cry out for a solution. Most of the time,
eliminating them altogether is the best strategy.

The problem is one of habits. If you've always done things
a certain way, you may be creating a problem that can be
solved by a change in thinking, followed by a change in
acting. Are you checking your email more than 5 times a
day? More than 50? Why? Consider checking email twice a
day, at the most. If you warn people that you only check
email twice a day, you may find that those who depend on
you to respond immediately change how they behave towards
you.

Another consideration is negative influences. You may have
a majority of customers that are a pleasure to deal with,
and a few that are nasty, negative and chew up most of your
time. Consider firing the troublemakers. That will make
room for more good customers and make sure your attitude
isn't negatively affected by dealing with people who
delight in making you miserable.

Cut yourself off from the "news". Television and newspapers
seldom serve up news that is actionable by you. When was
the last time a public official or government agency
contacted you regarding your take on the latest news
bulletin? For that matter, when was the last time you
missed something important in life that you didn't hear
about from a friend or neighbor? If the world is about to
blow up, I guarantee you'll find out about it without
resorting to the media. Eliminate daily news briefings. You
don't need the negative influence in your life.

Try outsourcing your chores. If you've automated your
business so you can spend more time on yard work,
housecleaning or maintenance, stop and think! How much will
it cost you to pay someone to mop your floors, mow your
lawn and clean your rain gutters? Unless you are a seasoned
professional at such labor, you'll probably get a better
result than if you keep doing it yourself. Even if you are
a seasoned professional at such labor, isn't the reason you
got into IM precisely to free yourself from daily drudgery?

Learn how to shut your mind tightly against negative
thinking and the negative influence of other people. You
can begin by practicing meditation, where you stop thinking
about your thoughts and simply remain quiet, in your mind.
With practice, you'll find it's easy and effortless to
break a train of thought you do not wish to encourage.
You'll also find it beneficial to cut out all the people
who want to dump their problems on you. You don't have to
be nasty or rude. Just stop allowing them to invade your
life with the things that they, themselves, are unwilling
to deal with. It is not your duty to hear other people
whine about their life.

There are troubles and duties we all must deal with. I'm
not suggesting you drop your responsibilities and slack off
on what you know you must do. Just take the time to
question all of your assumptions regarding duty and
responsibility. Figure out how much of your life is spent
doing things that you really don't have to be doing. Get
rid of all the old, bad habits that cause unnecessary
aggravation and eliminate them from your life.

4 Awesome Ways To Generate More Profits For ANY Affiliate Program

Hi Isyaias,

In today's article, you will learn how YOU can create an unfair
advantage over all other affiliates - even if you don't have
a large mailing list, high-traffic website or a guru reputation.

This is what I call the exclusive incentive marketing tactic.

Why should anyone buy through YOUR affiliate link when there
are potentially thousands of other affiliates promoting the same
offer?

Do you think it's because you promoted the offer FIRST?

Think again.

Just a couple of days ago I received an email from one of my
regular customers. He thanked me for sending him an email about a
new product that I had begun promoting. He explained that he was
just about to buy the same product from someone else when he
received my email.

Of course, I offered an INCENTIVE - a couple of products of my own
valued at the same amount of the product I was promoting. He
excitedly reported to me that he was going to purchase from ME
instead of the other guy, SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I had the extra
bonus included in my offer.

A few minutes later his order came in.

Want to outsell other affiliates? Want to outsell them even though
you are all promoting the EXACT same product at the EXACT same
price? Want to create an advantage that levels the playing field
with the "big boys" who have the large lists and large budgets?

Offer MORE!

You need to create an incentive. Some unique and exclusive reason
why folks should order through YOUR affiliate link and not one of
your competitors.

Now here are some ideas of developing exclusive, high-quality free
incentives to grab the attention of your prospects:

1 Resell Rights Products.

Offer some resell rights products related to the product you are
promoting!

2. Free Advertising

How about offering a free solo mailing to your entire list? Or, an
endorsement mailing? Or, an entire package of advertising on your
websites?

3. A Service

Are you handy with graphic design? Offer a free design for folks
who buy through YOUR affiliate link.

However, graphic design isn't the only service incentive you can
offer. How about these...

* Proofreading / Editing.

* Product Reviews

* Script Setup.

4. Cash Rebate.

This is one of the most powerful incentives. I see a couple of
super affiliates use this tactic in some affiliate contests. They
may get less in affiliate commissions, but end up earning more in
all kinds of affiliate prizes.

Okay, that's it for this time.

I hope you realize the magnitude of just how powerful and
profitable this strategy can be.

It's a surefire money-maker tactic, but only for those who take
action.

To your amazing success!

The Ways To Sell Info Products

Hello Nichers,

In this issue we are going to go over some of the ways you

can sell info products to hot niches.

There are a lot of people who would love to be able to
create a cool informational product and be able to make a
great living (even get rich) while sitting in a comfy chair
in front of their computers knowing that never again would
they have to drive in rush hour traffic with all those
crazies or put up with an unrelenting, over zealous boss
who never had and never would or could be pleased.

What a beautiful vision!

The truth is that lovely vision can become a reality but
you will have to pay your dues first. Successful niche
markets for an informational product don't grow on trees or
fall out of the sky.

The first thing you need and must have to create an
informational product is an idea, a subject, a topic, that
will fill the needs, solve a problems, or just make life
better for some particular and very specific segment of the
general population. You are surrounded by ideas if you just
look. Look at yourself first.

- What is your biggest problem?
- Do your friends share the problem?
- Are you passionate about a hobby or a sport?

These kinds of things are the stuff of which informational
products are made of. So the very first thing you need is
to identify a topic and, thereby, a market.

Another thing that you need to have in order to create an
informational product which will become successful is
research.

Every topic and every subject are not going to make money.
Many of them will, but just as many will not. The best
research is accomplished by reading and talking to people
who have succeeded in niche marketing informational
products.

Savvy niche marketers can spot a great topic from forty
paces with one eye shut. Ask. Read. Research.

When you have an idea and have done the research that has
proven that there is a market for your informational
product, the rest is just a matter of creating the product
building a great website and advertising it.

Nine Online Business Methods

In reality, they are all very similar to the business
models you see in the offline world.

You can sell goods and services, you can produce products
for wholesale distribution, you can sell information, you
can sell tools to help people in their own business model,
you can sell advertising, or you can provide consulting
services.

Do you see a common theme in all of these models?

That's right---to have a viable business, you have to
literally provide some kind of a good or service that adds
value to someone or something, either online or offline.

I think that when people think about going into business
offline, they look for a need in their community and try to
fill it.

Online, they tend to think, OK, what can I do to make a lot
of money?

There is a huge difference between the two.

Online, I think people really believe that if they put up a
web site and sell something, the money will just come in.

It is simply not an accurate thought, but I think that just
about everybody has thought it at one time or another.

So to create an income online, you must meet a need, just
like you would in the offline world.

You meet that need by producing, developing, distributing,
or brokering a product or service.

That is just about it. You will never earn long-term viable
income from schemes and scams, no more than a bank robber
will earn a long-term viable income robbing banks.

Here are some of the basic business models you can find on
the web:

1) Production model. This is a company that produces value
by transforming one good into another for online
consumption. An offline equivalent would be a shoemaker or
a gold mining firm. The online equivalent might be the
development of new software or search technology, or the
development of online technology that aids in the execution
of some of the other online business models.

2) Merchant model. This is a company that specializes in
the sales and organizes the delivery of goods and services
to an online market. This can be compared to the offline
equivalent of a merchant. Some examples online are
bookstores, food stores, catalog web sites and other goods
and services sales organizations.

3) Advertising model. This is a company that specializes in
providing the service of advertising or promotion to other
online firms, for example, those firms that operate using
the production or merchant model. This model charges these
companies a fee to advertise the goods and services
provided by the other online business models.

4) Affiliate model. This is a model that resembles the
advertising model, but is different in that it focuses on
recruiting many individual companies or individuals to do
the advertising in a systematic and piecemeal way. Whereas
in the advertising model, the advertiser is paid based on
the amount of advertising distributed, the affiliate model
pays the affiliate marketer when a sale or step in a sales
process is completed. This step may be an online visit, a
request for more information, or the actual sale itself.

5) Brokerage model. This model is one that compensates the
broker for bringing together buyer and seller, usually in
the form of a personal, one-on-one introduction. An example
of this might be an online auction or a processor of online
payments.

6) Information model. The information business model is one
in which the company provides information to a specific
field or niche market. This information would typically
instruct another company or individual on an easier or more
efficient method of performing a task, or actually teach
the task or the implementation of the task.

7) Subscription model. This is an overlay model, one which
is generally incorporated into one of the other models.
This model would provide a good or service over a
protracted period of time, and provide a guaranteed and
generally consistent level of that good or service for a
period of time, for example over the course of several
months. Two products that fit into this subscription model
might be that of online monthly video rentals or services
like food or medicines which are delivered on a regular
basis by commitment.

8) Utility model. This model operates in much the same way
as an offline utility might operate, offering a product
that has, through its use, become a necessity and is often
tightly controlled. An example of an online utility model
would be that of internet access or telephone service via
an online network.

 

9) Community model. This is a business
model that focuses on bringing together individuals or
companies of similar interest for the purpose of developing
relationships and sharing information. Two examples of the
community web phenomenon are the recently created Myspace
and the older online forum.

When deciding to go into business online, it is important
to determine which of these business models most interest
you. To which of these models are you best suited?

In which of these models are you most likely to be
considered an expert, or in which would you have the
willingness to become an expert?

Niche Marketing is The Last Great Frontier for The Small Business Entrepreneur

Hello Nichers,

In the last issue we talked about what niche marketing is
not. In this issue we are going to go over why niche
marketing is the way to go if you want to succeeding
online.

Niche Marketing is the last great frontier for the small
business entrepreneur. Out there in the 'real' world, small
businesses don't have a half fair chance of competing
against the giant international corporations of the world.

The Internet has evened the odds for small business.

The Internet has created a real equal opportunity for those
who are willing to use it. There are several different ways
to make use of niche marketing and succeed. All of the ways
require getting a domain and a webhost, building web pages
and adding content.

Those are just the basic basics of Internet Marketing in
any form. Then there are the choices of how to go about
building a successful niche marketing site that will
provide you with a profit, hopefully a very large profit.

1. You can create an informational product. This product
   can be articles, reports, columns, audio or video, or
   other things. These can be sold as stand alone products
   or used for advertisement or promotional causes.
   
2. You can build a content rich web site that will be so
   interesting it will draw potential customers again and
   again.
    
3. You can publish newsletters and ezines that are so full
   of pertinent information that people will happily pay
   for subscriptions to them.

All of the ways that I have listed above can be used to
create a niche marketing website that has the capacity to
make you money and they also have two things in common.

First, the topic must be one that helps people solve a
problem, makes them healthier, happier, or provides them
with information that they want or need in some way.
    
Second. the content of the website, no matter the topic,
must be relevant, timely and interesting to the people who
are reading it and the website must be easily navigated.

Building your niche business can be time consuming, but
compared to starting a "brick and mortar' business,  it
truly is the greatest frontier for any small business.

Make sure you look for your next  issue soon.
