Where do I start if I want to make money on the internet ?

1 comment October 25th, 2009

There are various ways that you can make money on the internet and it is sometimes difficult to figure out where to start.

Making money on the internet is ultimately about sales.You can only make money on the internet if you sell something whether directly or indirectly.
This something could be a product or a service, and it could be your own or belong to someone else.

In order to sell this “something” on the internet you would need to do marketing so that people can find the products or services that you are selling.

The quickest way to teach yourself how to do internet marketing is to find a company that offers online internet marketing education.

You can go to Google and type internet marketing education or something similar to explore the various internet marketing education opportunities available.

Find a system that you can plug into that will provide you with all the education, tools and support required to do effective internet marketing.

You can easily master the art of internet marketing within 30 – 90 days depending on your previous experience, time that you have available to teach yourself and the quality of the internet education system that you use.

The next step would be to source products and services to sell if you do not have your own. The good news is that there are literally millions of products on the internet that you can sell using your internet marketing skills. Tip: Initially you should look for products that don’t require shipping or any other complicated logistics.

There are internet marketing education companies on the internet that even provide you with products that you can market. I would highly recommend that you start your journey with such a company. It will save you loads of time and it will be an excellent starting point for exploring ways to make money on the internet.

How long does it take to make money on the internet?

No comments October 24th, 2009

That is arguably the most asked question to me as a professional internet marketer. The answer is easy.

The same amount of time that it takes to build any other business. Some people might get lucky and make it faster, but you should prepare yourself for at least 3 to 6 months or even a year.

Some internet based companies claim that you can get rich in a few weeks. That is not true. Do not ever fall for that. If they claim that, simply close your browser window and search for the next option.

The thing with an internet business is that you need to do some sort of marketing in order to obtain leads that will convert into sales. As with any other business, you first need to brand yourself, build a relationship with your customers and get leads before you can expect your first sale.

This process does take time, hard work and dedication. The good news is that all of these leads and relationships grows over time.

The longer you can stick it out, the more successful you would be on the internet. Most people make the mistake of giving up on their internet business just before ‘profit time’.

The best thing to do is to ‘forget’ about how much profit your money your business is making in the first six months. I’m not saying that you should be reckless. I’ m suggesting that you rather put all your effort into your business doing marketing instead of using that energy to monitor your profit performance all the time. You will get demotivated and you will quit if you focus on the wrong things and if you are only in it for quick money.

Allow yourself and your business at least twelve months and you might be surprised with what you have built up at the end!

Disadvantages of running your own Internet Marketing Business

No comments October 24th, 2009

Most people won’t explore the opportunity to own an Internet business. The main reasons given are: “It’s too technical” and “I don’t have any online business experience”.

The good news is that this doesn’t have to be the case anymore.

There are various online business opportunities available that do not require a vast amount of technical skills and previous online business experience. These systems are packed with all the information and “how-to” that you would need to start your own Internet business in a few days regardless of your previous background.

As with any business though, an Internet business has its disadvantages and advantages.

Disadvantages:

> It requires a few hours a day on the Internet. Especially when setting up your business. You can scale down to 2 – 4 hours per day once your business is up and running.
> It requires hard work. Doing business on the Internet is definitely not a “get rich quick” solution and stay away from any opportunity that claims this.
> There is start-up capital required but keep in mind that any business would require some sort of start-up capital. You cannot usually start a business for free.
> A great amount of  Internet bandwidth is required to do your research and marketing. This could be costly if you are outside the USA or UK. Although prices of broadband access is becoming more and more affordable by the day.

Advantages:

> You can work from literally anywhere in the world in your own time.
> The chances of making profit in a short period of time are much higher than a brick and mortar business because of your low overheads.
> The only business tools required are a laptop/PC and Internet access.
> You don’t have to think of ways how to make money on the Internet anymore.There are various systems available that you can plug into and immediately start with your online business. They normally supply the training, websites and products. All you have to do is to stick to their suggested business plan.
> Start up costs can be quite minimal when compared to ‘brick and mortar’ business start up and maintenance costs.

These are some of the advantages and disadvantages of running your own Internet business but if you are confident of overcoming the disadvantages and ae interested in checking out the system I use then click here.

No comments October 23rd, 2009

The best way to start is to pick a form of advertising that you feel that you want to start with and get after it.

Pick a method that interests you from the resources category and do it. Don’t try to do it all at once. Start with one method and get good at it. Once you are seeing results then start adding other types of advertising on top of it one at a time.

Some of the best types of advertising to start with are…

• Articles and press releases

• Banners (if you have a website or blog, be sure to post the banners on your site)

• Ezines

• Pay per click advertising

Pick one that you feel you would be interested in and start placing ads. Stick with one method until you are getting results, then and only then start adding more types of advertising to your arsenal.

For more assistance on this be sure to check out the “Resources” category to the right of this page.

I have example ads, resources, and video tutorials (coming soon) located under “Resources” category for easy implementation. Please note that these are samples only. You can use them but try to add your take on it. Remember – you are the essential ingredient to your business. Edit the ads to suit your message.

The main thing is to be consistent and place ads daily. Within a matter of days you should start seeing some leads start coming in and you are off to the races.

So be sure to check out the Resources category for more helpful information.

There you have it, a couple of simple steps to get you off to a fast start. Marketing on the internet can be great, but it can be frustrating.  I will do my best to help you as much as I can, but the main thing you need to do is stay consistent, if something doesn’t work don’t worry about it, just keep your head up and push forward.

8 Things To Know Before You Start Any Home Business

No comments October 20th, 2009

The best home business these days is one that you can do on the internet – not the one that your family and friends are trying to sell you.

How do you start a successful home business? Firstly the secret of success is perseverance, not to stop halfway through the business building process as so many people do. Stick to your business and persevere – you will see the rewards of the time and effort you’ve put in.

That is truly the biggest mistake that any entrepreneur can make. The sad part is that most give up on their home business just before all the money and rewards start to come in.

Follow these 8 steps before you start any home business. This will ensure that you succeed rather than just wasting your time and money.

1. Find an online home business
Online businesses tend to have the lowest start-up and running costs, highest ROI (return on investment) and profit in the shortest period of time.

2. Make sure it is a business that you don’t have to sell to your friends and family.
People don’t like to be sold to. Especially your friends and family. Find a home business where customers come to you.

3. Do your due diligence before you commit to any online business – there are a lot of scams out there.
This is very important and any good entrepreneur will know this. Don’t jump into any business before you have done all your homework.
Use the internet to do research on the business and try to find people that are actually in the business and ask them some questions.
You will save yourself a lot of time and money by doing proper due diligence.

4. Know in advance exactly what will be required from you.
Many business opportunities claim that you only have to work 1 hour per day and that you don’t need any skill. There is not a business out there that only requires 1 hour a day!
Most business opportunities also requires some kind of skill set or knowledge. Make sure what is required and make sure that you either have it or that you are willing and able to learn it. Also check if it will be easy to acquire the necessary skill sets.

5. Don’t make any commitments if you know that you don’t have the time and or skill required, you will only waste your time and money if you do.
The first question that you should ask yourself before you start any business is this : How much time do I have available to dedicate ?
Find out from the people in the business how much time they are dedicating. If you know that you cannot do at least the same time, don’t start the business at all.

6. Give yourself a trial period of at least 12 months – work your home business for at least 12 months before you jump to another idea.
Biggest mistake most people make when starting a new business is to jump from the one opportunity to the next. The grass always looks greener on the other side, always!
After you have done your due diligence start your business and work it for at least 12 months. If after 12 months you realise that this is not for you, only then should you think of changing your business.

7. Remember it can take 3 – 5 years for a business to be profitable.
Once again, don’t give up before at least 12 months and don’t expect to make millions of dollars before your business is active for about 3 – 5 years.

8. Setup a business plan and stick to it.
You won’t go to gym without a daily program with targets. Do the same for your business. Setup a business plan with timely goals and STICK TO IT for at least 12 months!
