The internet presents the greatest opportunity ever for entrepreneurs. Internet marketing provides a quick, easy way to put your sales message in front of millions of prospects.
Never before in history has there been a time when a progressive entrepreneur could reach such a wide audience, see results so quickly, AND at such a small cost.
If you’re ready to start a profitable business, but you don’t want to make a large cash investment, marketing on the internet could be the answer for you.
You won’t have the huge expenses involved with a traditional ‘real world’ business.
You won’t need to rent an office or store, since you can run your internet marketing business at home. And you can market products on the internet by yourself, so you won’t have to hire employees. And you won’t have to answer to a boss anymore – You’ll BE the boss!
So Many Opportunities . . .
There are so many internet marketing opportunities to choose from, you’re sure to find several you like.
You can ‘partner up’ with well known companies like Amazon, Walmart, BestBuy and others. These companies will pay you a commission whenever you send them a buyer. They handle the inventory, shipping, credit cards and customer service, so you can concentrate on your marketing. You send them buyers and they send you money.
You can also create and market your own product. It’s a little more effort than selling someone else’s product for commission, but you keep all the money from the sales.
Startup Costs are LOW
If you’re looking for a fulltime income from selling online or you want to supplement your current income, you can get started with just a few dollars.
Registering your own domain name isn’t expensive. You can get ‘.com’ domain names for about $10 and other domains, like ‘.info’ are sometimes only 99 cents!
Once you have a domain name, you’ll need hosting. Full featured hosting is less than $10 a month.
There’s no other business you can get into that offers such a huge potential for such a small initial investment. At least not any ‘legal’ business!
But you should be aware of one important thing. Statistics show that for every hundred internet businesses started –
95 out of 100 WILL FAIL!
Most people fail because they don’t have an overall marketing strategy. They don’t know where to start or what to do.
In many cases, they’re tempted by the hype of all the ‘get rich quick’ schemes and they waste valuable time and money. They tend to go from one scheme to the next, never succeeding with any of them.
You’ve Probably Seen the Ads
Believe me, that stuff doesn’t work. If it did, everybody would be rich.
In the end, people that fall for such nonsense have less money than they started with. Eventually, they lose faith and give up.
For Success, You Only Need 3 Things
- A product to sell
- A place to present your sales message
- Customers who will buy your product
That’s it!
No ‘magic button’ that makes money for you while you sit on the beach. There is no such button. (Really!)
First, You Need Something to Sell
If you don’t already have a product to sell, that’s easily fixed.
With a little effort, you can create your own downloadable product. Since it will be your product, you’ll keep all the money from every sale.
Another way to go is to sell someone else’s product and get paid a commission for every sale.
Next, You Need Someplace to Present Your Product
A website is where you make the sales presentation for your product.
It’s your 24 hour a day salesman, a salesman that never gets tired, never complains, never takes a day off and never demands a raise.
Now, You Need Customers!
Once you have a product and a website, you’ll need to attract targeted prospects.
Targeted prospects are people that have a genuine interest in your product.
For example, if you’re selling a video course about how to improve your golf swing, you’d want to attract visitors to your website that are, or want to be, golfers.
If your visitors have little or no interest in golf, you’re not likely to make any sales. That makes sense, doesn’t it?
Once you learn how to attract targeted prospects, you’ll be on track to reaching your income goals.
