PLAN AND BUILD YOUR WEBSITE
If you are going to be marketing goods and services on the internet, then you need a website. I know there are some programs on the web that say you can make money selling this or that without using a web site. They're right, you can, but you can sell a wh
How often do you use stories to color your sales presentations?Answer: Not enough!I guarantee you would use them more if you knew how powerful they are in determining the outcome of the sale!Telling stories is an effective and exciting way to deliver valuable information about your product or service. It also makes your prospect feel at ease with you, which means that they will not only enjoy speaking with you, but also enjoy buying from you.The Makings of a Great StoryYour customer should be the focus of your story. Obviously the specific customer you’re speaking with won’t be a part of the story, but you should never forget they are the purpose for your story.Your customers want to hear stories that speak to them. Tell them stories that they will be able to relate to personally; stories that address their concerns about buying from you. This means your story must favorably answer the essential questions customers ask themselves before making the purchase:Do I like this salesperson?The
Architects use blueprints to lay out the design of a building so the construction workers can build it. The success of the construction job depends on how good the blueprints are!
Building a profitable internet home based business is no different. You, the architect must have a well laid out plan from which to work.
You need proven, time-tested, methods for building a successful online business! I am going to provide you a proven blueprint that when followed will create a profit-pulling online business.
These action-steps are the very steps I use to create online cash machines. Now, it will take some work and it will not create instant riches for you. However, if followed and implemented right it will create an ATM machine in your living room!
This internet home based business blueprint has 3 main pillars. These will be the foundation of your business and they will either make you or break you. I have listed them below and in the following paragraphs we will discuss each one in detail.
1. Keyword list.
2. Planning and building your web site.
3. Promotion.
Now, let's get to the meat and potatoes!
However, before we get too deep into this you will have needed to choose what your internet home based business is going to be about. In other words, what niche market are you going to try to sell in. It is best if it is something that you have an interest in, or a passion for.
Now that you have determined what type of business you are going to establish we can move forward.
BUILDING YOUR KEYWORD LIST
After you have decided on a niche, it is time to build a set of keywords. Let me be straight forward here, the most important thing you will EVER do for your internet home based business is build a set of relevant and targeted keywords. Keywords are how people will find you on the internet. Over time you will want to have an arsenal of around 1000 keywords established for your niche. In the beginning, approximately 100 will be sufficient to start.
You will need to think of every imaginable keyword or phrase that someone would type into the search engines to look for the products or services that you are selling. If you are marketing golf equipment then you need to develop a keyword list of words related to "golf equipment". Use the Overture Keyword Search Tool to see how many times those keywords have been searched for. Use misspellings and abbreviations for your keywords as well. Not everyone is a perfect speller!
I can't stress enough the importance of keyword development. I know it is the most boring part of starting an internet business, but it will be the cornerstone of it. If you slack off on this you will be setting your business up to fail, simple as that!
As you progress, you can start to find ways to use other keywords that may not be relevant now. Let's get back to our prior example of "golf equipment". If you try to use Tiger Woods as a relevant keyword the search engines may not like that. However, if you write a review about Tiger Woods and his "golf equipment" of choice then the keyword Tiger Woods is now relevant. Now you can put a page on your site dedicated to all of the equipment that Tiger Woods uses to win Major Championships. How many people would buy a driver or putter if they knew that is what Tiger used?
Just remember that keyword development will be the most important thing you do in building your internet home based business.
I will say it one more time, keyword development is critical to your success as an online marketer.

Many people have been sold a consolidation loan on the basis of reducing their monthly payments with a term of 15 or 20 years, or even longer, which can end up costing thousands of dollars more than a shorter term loan. The purpose of the loan should focus on eliminating the debts, not just providing lower monthly payments.It’s not difficult to compare credit card rates to consolidation loan rates, and see how much money can be saved, but take a closer look at the amount of interest paid on different loan terms. For example, compare the following estimated payments and total interest paid for a $35,000 loan at 8%:A 20 year term would have a payment of $293, and total interest of $35,261. A 15 year term would have a payment of $335, and total interest of $25,206. A 10 year term would have a payment of $425, and total interest of $15,958. A 5 year term would have a payment of $710, and total interest of $7,581.This example makes it clear to see how much it can cost for a lower monthly payment. Does it make sense to pay about $10,000 in inte

You have probably heard a lot about social bookmarking lately. As a matter of fact, you can spend hundreds of dollars right now just to find out what it's all about. Well, not here. I am giving you this information. I did the research and found this to be a super way to get more traffic to your site. The best news is, it's 100% FREE.What is Social Bookmarking?It's a public list of your favorites. Not all your favorites, just the favorites you want to share with others. You can add any website to your public list and retrieve it from any computer. (This is done on someone else's server, not your computer)When you list a site in your bookmark list, anyone looking for that same type of information can do a search at the bookmark site and find the sites that you have bookmarked. It is like a search engine without all the trash.When you do a search in a search engine, you get all the sites that have something to do with the keywords you typed into the search box. It is easy to get a bunch of garbage sites that are loaded up with keyword

With eBay and Ticketmaster in the auction market, it’s a good time to evaluate many states’ regulation on this practice to determine what need, if any, there is for licensing and regulation in this market.Internet and technology have been a catalyst for many of the changes in auctioning behavior, and many states are stepping up to the court field to get a piece of the pie. In May, Louisiana looked at Senate Bill 642, aimed at excluding some Internet transactions from licensing requirements related to auctions.Lobbyists from eBay sought to protect their “trading assistants” from fees and other requirements required of traditional auctioneers. “Trading assistants” are defined as experienced sellers that resell items for others for a fee.Extending state regulations to eBay auctioneers is something that the company is fighting to prevent, with major lobbying efforts designed to keep states from setting a precedent that would change the face of the online business. According to eBay.com, the company employs 20 “Governmental Relation Speciali

Another powerful reason for making the switch from using the unlimited autoresponders that come free with your web hosting account to paying a monthly fee for an autoresponder service is improved deliverability of newsletters and other e-mails.Are your subscribers even getting your newsletter? You might be shocked to find out how few of your subscribers are actually receiving your e-mail. I know I was!Paid autoresponder services cultivate relationships with major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and online services. It is in their (and your) best interests that your e-mails get through and they work very hard to achieve high deliverability.Some services supply a spam test to show you how spam filters would rate your e-mail. If your spam rating is too high, you can edit your e-mail to improve deliverability.When I moved my newsletter over to a paid autoresponder service, I received several e-mails from autoresponders. They basically said that because of spam (unsolicited commercial e-mail), I had to conf

PLAN AND BUILD YOUR WEBSITE
If you are going to be marketing goods and services on the internet, then you need a website. I know there are some programs on the web that say you can make money selling this or that without using a web site. They're right, you can, but you can sell a whole lot more if you have your own site!
That does not mean that you have to build a huge, expensive web site, but you do need a site. Not just any kind of site, your site needs to be a content rich-information super site. People get on the internet looking for information! So if they want information, what should you give them? I hope you answered information, because if you didn't, we need to start all over. After you have found your niche and built your keyword list, it is time to develop a theme for your site.
When you develop your site, you need to keep in mind the people that will be coming to your site. You want to provide an atmosphere that will keep them coming back. The goal is to provide as much relevant content and free information as possible to attract visitors that will become repeat visitors. They need to feel like they are being provided a great service and that your site can be used as a reference for their hobby, career, or lifestyle.
Back to our example, if your site sells golf equipment, don't just have ads for golf equipment on your web pages! Fill your pages with articles and reviews about golf equipment. You might want to have a section on the clubs that are preferred by the top pros, like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Find articles that do comparisons on different clubs or balls. All golfers love owning the driver that performed the best in long driving studies as compared to the competition, so share the results of the study with them, then sell them the driver!
If they view your site as a resource they WILL come back time and time again. They will begin to look at you as an expert and trusted partner and will buy the products you recommend. They will tell their friends and family about how they found this great site that has all of this powerful information about golf and golf equipment. The key is to provide relevant content and then intertwine your products into that content. You want to make a soft sale and not come off like a pushy salesperson.
The key to remember here is that you can sell more with your own site and make the site a content - rich information highway. Content is king on the internet, it always has been and always will be.
So kill'em with content and give them what they want.
PROMOTE YOUR WAY TO TRAFFIC AND SALES
The last key to a successful internet home based business is promotion. There is not a business around online or off that can survive without promotion. Let me dispel the myth that you can build a web site and put it on the internet and that magically thousands of people will begin going to it. It does not happen so don't expect it to!
There are tons of ways to advertise your web site, too much for me to discuss in great detail in this article. Below are some ways that I generate traffic to my web site and I am sure they will work for you.
- Pay Per Click Advertising - The quickest and most predictable way to generate traffic to your site.
- Writing Articles - Write articles pertaining to your niche and submit them to article directories and ezine publishers. This is a great way to establish your r
