Starting an online business...Part 4

Welcome back...
In my last posting we were discussing methods of changing 'negatives' into 'positives', and one of the former was identified as lack of a website.
I must be obvious that if you are intending to market products online, then a website is a must.
Now, it may be that you are a real computer expert, and would have no problem building your own site, either from scratch, or by utilising one of the many software packages available.
For many, however, the idea of building, launching and hosting a website is daunting, and far beyond their comfort zones.
As ever, there are various solutions to this problem, depending on the budget available.
One solution could be to search Yellow Pages for webmasters in your local area who would do the job for you. Personally, I have found this method to be pricey and not always satisfactory for various reasons.
Another answer could be to get quotes online from Rentacoder or Elance, for instance
www.elance.com
www.rentacoder.com
Of course, having a website is one thing, but writing good sales copy for your product is another separate - and most important - neccessity.
Copywriting (not to be confused with copyright) is a subject in itself, which will be discussed in future blogs.
There is, however, a solution which covers all the problems that we identified as 'negatives'...lack of budget, scarcity of time, no current product line, plus lack of computer and marketing skills.
Let me suggest that you investigate the following site, which shows the solution:
http://www.info4income.co.uk
Have a look at the deal on offer, which I am sure you will agree must be the best and most affordable deal on the 'net.
The offer includes having your own 'Cash-pulling' website set-up for you, with a very simple but thorough tutorial, which shows you in easy steps all you need to know to start pulling in returns within 48 hours !
All sales copy is included, so no copywriting skills are required, and there is an opportunity to join FREE, specially selected Affiliate programmes.
This is a complete "Business in a Box", especially designed for those wishing to start an easy, profitable online business at NO RISK, and minimal cost.
How Minimal ?
You pay a One-Off fee of £19.95, which covers the building and hosting of your site, including registering your choice of Domain Name...subsequently, it costs just £14.95 per month for membership, which includes training, backup and support.
In addition, this site offers a FREE (it's that word again !) 7-Part Email course which will give you loads of new and exciting ideas to explode your online business potential.
In my estimation, this is the best, and most cost-effective offer of its kind anywhere on the 'net...and it's RISK FREE !
Look forward to your feedback

Starting an online business...Part 3

To return to the 'grim' scenario I mentioned in Part 2, let's now look at turning negatives into positives...
OK, so you have a limited budget, and time is at a premium.
I'm a pragmatist, and I won't pretend that these two factors are not very real problems...but they are problems that are manageable.
When money is in short supply (and when isn't it ?) the corrolary is that you can't afford to give up the day-job, which in turn means that time is also a problem...
H'm, difficult ! But not insurmountable...
The answer to both these problems could be...Affiliate Programs !
I shall be covering this subject in future blogs, but basically these programmes (or programs if US based) can usually be joined for FREE (I do love that word!), and pay you a commission for each buying customer you send to them via your website...space does not permit a full explanation, but to get the general idea, why not head over to :
http://www.info4income.co.uk/sales which is a site promoting affiliate products.
With Affiliate programmes, your start-up costs are minimal, and by doing it part-time your initial problems have been solved. The money then made from your efforts can then be utilised for your own campaigns.
This is a very simplistic explanation, I realise, and is offered merely as an example of how problems can be solved realistically.
We also highlighted another 'grim' problem earlier, that of setting up a web site...but those of you who visited the above site will see an offer for a FREE (it's that word again !) website, hosting, and training.
If this sounds like your thing, then, as mentioned, I shall be posting articles here which will explain Affiliate Marketing (and much, much more) in depth...hang on in there!
In the next posting I shall return to the 'changing negatives into positives' theme, which will, hopefully, show you that online marketing is something YOU should be involved in...remember, only YOU can decide to change your life for the better.
In the meantime, let me wish you everything you would wish for yourself, and look forward to recieving your feedback
Regards
Frank

Even if you already have your own online business (Well done !) then over the next few postings you will still find lots of 'hot off the press' advice, so why not hang on in there ?
Perhaps at this juncture I should mention that I welcome feedback and/or questions on online marketing...but please, no religion or politics !
So, having got that off my chest, let's continue where we left off...
Hopefully, in my last posting I convinced you that, yes, there is huge potential in an online business, and that to prosper you don't need to possess any special talents or qualifications...however, the one attribute you will need is...Determination.
Whatever the Doubting Thomases may tell you, you can succeed...all it takes is determination, regardless of your circumstances. (In fact, several very successful marketers have prospered because their backs were against the wall...the only way is up ! )
So, onward and upwards...
If you feel that you need, and deserve a better life, then let's get started...
Firstly, you must decide on the kind of online business that you would be most comfortable with, something within your range of expertise, or a hobby that you wish to expand...the list is endless.
Basically, anything that can be marketed offline can, and is, marketed online (often more successfully, and with a greater profit margin).
Or, perhaps, you already have an existing product which you feel could be (more) successfully sold online ?
Conversely, you may be in a position where you have no product (as yet), have a limited budget and limited time, no website, little marketing knowledge, etc - pretty grim scenario, yes ?...but actually...NO !
The reason for these postings is to indicate how YOU can turn what appears to be a totally negative situation into a positive, life-changing scenario.
Don't believe me ?
Why should you ? ...you probably don't know me, perhaps have never even heard of me, so why should you believe what I say ?
Well , in mitigation, I will admit that, not all that long ago, I was in a "back to the wall" situation...no 'seed money', no talent with computers, and if I'm being honest, not a lot of experience in marketing...bit of a 'dead-beat', yes ?
But, with determination and a commitment to achieve a life-style which I felt I deserved, this 'dead-beat' now lives a very comfortable life-style, drives an S Class Mercedes and spends half the year (UK winter) in Australasia...and YOU can too!
Until next time, hang on to that word DETERMINATION !

Blogging: The Free Internet Marketing Method!

Copyright © Frank Sutton
http://www.info4income.co.uk/sales

For years blogging has been practiced. But it is only just recently that Savvy marketers have discovered that blogging is one of the best Internet marketing methods that won't cost you a penny to implement.


What exactly is blogging? Blog is the widely used term that refers to web log.


Basically, a blog is an online diary or journal. A blog can be set up at no cost at all, and can be used just for the fun of it or for business reasons.


Blogging for your Internet business is one surefire way to boost the visibility of your products and services. Here are a few ways to boost your internet advertising with the help of a blog:



  1. Keep your clients or customers informed of your website's updates or changes. Your new products and affiliate websites could also be announced through your blog.

  2. Keep track of your business objectives and plans through open writing. Your blog content can be easily stored through archives. What could be better than searchable information that could be easily accessed by anyone browsing the web, right?

  3. Air your opinions, advice or reviews on specific services or products that are related to your business. Publishing is a very easy process with blogging.

  4. Include links that will fetch back links and subsequently improve your ranking on search engines. This could be better executed through putting well-written articles in your website. Affiliate links could also be included in your blog to earn more extra income.

  5. Collect responses through the ability of blogs to fetch comments from your blog readers. You can learn and improve your products and services through feedback from your readers.

  6. Connect easily with other bloggers. When other bloggers notice that you have something good in your blog, they will put you in their favorite lists that will automatically link you to their blogs.


So, how do you set up a blog? Here are some of the options you can make use of to take advantage of this fun way to advertise your Internet business.


Either you load a blogging software or let a blogging hosting service do it for you. Host services such as Blogger.com are the most popular in this field. Those hosts will provide you with easy instructions on how to set up your blog.

Starting an online business

For anyone considering starting an online business (and you should !), let me first dispel a myth which is currently making the rounds...namely, that the Internet has reached saturation point, thus leaving no room for new marketers.
Nothing could be further from the truth !
In fact, NOW is probably the best time EVER to start a highly-profitable online business !
In successive issues of this blog I shall be telling you why, and sharing hints, tips and common-sense advice on how YOU can get onto the fast-track to online success...I did it, and believe me, i'm just an ordinary bloke without any particular skills...so why not YOU ?
There is, of course, good news, and there's bad news...but let's get the latter out of the way first.
The bad news is...only YOU can make the life-changing decision to reverse the status-quo...unless you have the determination and, yes, the courage to decide that you want, and deserve, a better life for yourself and your family, then consider what your life will hold in 12 months time.
The answer, of course, is that you will be stuck in the same rut that you are in now...the same mindless poorly paid job, struggling to make ends meet.
So, is there any good news ? ...
You bet there is ! - I, like many others discovered a unique business which ticks all the right boxes, more of which a little later...
But first, let's imagine that you had this dream of leaving your current badly paid job, and the boss who models his man-management skills on Saddam Hussein...and of being your own boss - great idea, but what of the practicalities ? ... business plans, bank loans, leasing/buying premises, hiring and supervising staff, VAT, accounts, long hours...a total nightmare !
Franchising perhaps?... Who in their right minds would consider parting with £200K to be allowed the priviledge of steam cleaning other people's Wheely Bins ? ...apart from being well past retirement age before you even recovered your "investment"
Consider instead the unique benefits offered by an online business...minimal start-up costs, low overhead, global coverage, low-cost advertising, and huge profits offering a level of personal and financial freedom undreamed of by most...and all from the comfort of your own home !
The additional good news is that you don't need any particular skills or training to be successful...think project management !
To discover more (in fact much more) about how you should be involved in this exciting and lucrative business, keep watching for successive blogs.
