Hello Friends,
Many of those new to the Internet are retired, and simply want
to keep in touch by email with friends or family. Others
however, are living on a fixed income, and are easy prey if
promised a second source of earnings.
Eventually, most find their comfort level and sally forth. They
are quickly found by those wishing to separate them from their
hard earned money. Suddenly, their email increases with offers
for everything imaginable under the sun. Getting all this
information, seems to trigger a synapse, and many view the web
as their road to riches, and their greed overpowers their common
sense.
In their travels about the web, they find what they think is a
great program. They plop down a few bucks and start their
journey into the world of online entrepreneurialism.
Three or four months go by, and they haven't done anything
except fill the coffers of their sponsors. Wondering how those
experts can claim five figure monthly incomes from their
Internet businesses, while they aren't earning squat, they cast
about looking for something else.
What they don't realize is that they can't be playing golf or
lying on the couch "guzzling beer all day,” expecting the world
to beat a path to their door. As with all businesses, online or
off, it takes more than a casual approach to truly make a
business work.
Many beginning opportunity seekers are misled by the hoopla and
marketing pitches. If anyone is trying to start a business on
the Internet, they must approach it as a real business.
The number one priority is to get your own web site, and you
should avoid the free ones offered by your ISP. The price of web
space today is extremely affordable, and you can get a full
blown site, including the registration of your own domain name
for about $4 a month. There are also tools available to help put
together your own site, and with a little experimentation, you
can have your site up and running quickly.
------------------------------
Side note-use the oportunity to use your domain name
as aussie-money-tree is mine put it into google and see where I am
and see how it works!!
------------------------------
Build your web site based on your interests, and over the long
term it will be much more successful. It should be filled with
useful information and resources. Look for others in your field
to work with you in exchange for exposure. Keep the content
constantly updated, which will encourage repeat visits.
Build a mailing list by having your guests register at the site.
This mailing list is a valuable marketing tool, but your efforts
here should be low key. It could take the form of a newsletter
geared toward your target market, and include a column that you
write - you can have your ad in the newsletter, but don’t make
it a thinly disguised pitch for your product or service. Give
good solid information, which will be useful to your readers.
Thanks for you visit and post!
