Hello Friends,
Wading elbow deep in emails I found this article that really makes sense,thought you might like it.
---------------
When first starting out to make money on the Internet, the first
thing you should do is to get as much information as you can so
that mistakes or loss of money can be kept to a minimum.
The first thing to learn is not to be taken in by all the hype
that is out on the Internet. Sure the advert makes the product
look so attractive that you can't wait to buy it. My advice is
wait.
The information or product will still be there the next week or
next month. Calm down and wait for a few days before whipping
out your credit card. Read reviews and think to yourself "Is
this what I really want to buy?" Ask, "Is this something I
really need?"
The next thing you have to consider is what you’re going to
sell. Would other people want to buy the product? After deciding
on what you are going to sell whether it's an affiliate product
or your own product, you have to create a website to display and
sell your product.
First write down on paper the content of the sales page and
other information which you want on your website. With all this
information, go to websites that will custom develop websites
for you, or learn to create websites yourself. Make sure your
website captures the visitors' email address. I will explain the
why later on.
Your third task is to buy or use tools which will help you in
automating your business. Send a blank email to my autoresponder
address aussie-money-tree@getresponse.com to receive a list of
recommended software tools for the online home business.
Now that you’ve got a good product to sell, and a website to
take orders, the final step is to bring traffic to your website.
This is the key to your riches - the part that will make or
break your business.
There are many ways to drive traffic to your website. To go into
detail with each of them will require several books. The major
techniques for driving traffic to a website are:
- Getting your website listed in search engines so that people
can search for you
- Spend money on Pay Per Click search engines
- Buy web traffic from traffic selling websites. These kind of
visitors are usually unresponsive.
- Buy email leads from traffic selling websites
- Post advertisements on ezines, free classifieds, blogs etc...
- Submitting your ezine articles to ezine publishers
- Traffic exchange websites
- Sending emails to the list of people reminding them to visit
your website again and to buy your product. This can be through
your own newsletter. This is why it is essential to capture your
visitors address on your website.
You can use all of the methods at the same time but the true art
lies in your copywriting skills. Can you write enticing adverts
that will persuade visitors to buy?
As you can see from what I've discussed, having on online home
business requires hard work and knowledge. Well I hope I’ve
hammered that thought into your head.
“An online home business needs the same effort you would put in
for a normal business. It's no different”.
Here is 3 final suggestions to end this article.
1. Continue to read and learn from books and successful
websites. Put their good qualities into your own business.
2. Ignore the negative comments around you and persist in your
home business. Far too many people give up too easily and early.
3. I remember clearly the first few months when I started my
home business. I know the frustration beginners go through which
is why my business is catered for the newbies out there to help
them. What's your market that you are selling to? Do you know
how to approach them and what their needs are?
Hang in there. All athletes train hard to get where they are.
We're all the same. by Alan Cheng
