10 Billion And Counting...

Tue, 06 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600

Mike was your average ordinary kid going to college at the University of Texas in Austin. Or so everyone thought. Mike had big dreams and had developed a plan for achieving those dreams. So he decided to drop out of college to start his business out of his garage with a little more than one thousand dollars. Everyone thought he was crazy and he took his share of harsh words from the people closest around him. Today that tiny startup company is the Dell Computer Corporation. Dell now averages around 30 million per day in online sales. All Mike started with was a idea and the desire and persistence to see that dream through to the end. Today online sales are huge. Many big companies are making the move online. The internet has leveled the playing field. If you wanted to start a business in the sixties you would have to get a business loan, hire employees, and go through many other hassles. Today the internet makes it easy for the average person to make a living. The key to any successful business is leverage. Leverage is what separates the winners from the losers.** End Summary**

Benefits Of An Online Based Business

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0600

There are many benefits of running an online based business. The internet has opened up the door for everyone to profit with an online business. An online based business gives every person willing to put in the work the chance to make huge sums of money in a very short period. Some of the benefits to running an online based business are low start up costs, huge markets to sell to (you could potentially sell to anyone in the world who has internet access), no leasing fees since your business in the cyber world, and no reason to have and pay employees. If you wanted to start a business normally you would need around 50 grand to start it up. Unless you had the cash you would have to go to your bank and get approved for a business loan. After you had your loan then you could start up your business. With the internet you could start an online based business for just a couple of hundred dollars. After you received your business loan you would then have to find a place to lease for your business.** End Summary**

Looking For A Free Online Business?

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0600

Are you looking for a free online business? If so there are many free online businesses to choose from. It just depends on what field of products you want to sell. Another term for a free online business is called an affiliate program. Affiliate programs are where you sell another companies product or service and you split the commission with them. The commission rates vary from company to company. Most affiliate programs are free and they normally offer you tools to help you promote their product. Affiliate programs are quickly becoming the norm for online marketers today. You maybe wondering why companies are offering people the opportunity to sell their products. Why wouldn't the companies want to keep all the profit for themselves? That is a great question. Companies are offering people the opportunity to sell their products because it is a win-win for everyone involved. First let's look at it from the companies point of view. Imagine having a sales team of 100 people, which you did not have to pay until they made a sale, how great would that be. That is what the companies see.** End Summary**

Tue, 09 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0600

Everyone is looking to start an online business. In order to start an online business you will need certain tools to be successful. Without these tools your business is as good as dead. Many times I see many business owners trying to build their online business with the wrong tools. There is a story about a man who wanted to become a lumberjack. We will call him Bob. Bob knew nothing about cutting down trees, all he knew was that you could make a lot of money cutting down trees. So he went out to forest and he took a spoon with him. Day after day Bob tried cutting down trees with his spoon, it never worked. Finally he gave up and decided that cutting down trees did not work. Now you maybe thinking Bob must of not been the sharpest tool in the shed but many people are making the same mistake as Bob. Many people online are trying to cut down trees with spoons. If Bob would of had the right tools, things would of gone differently for him. The same goes for the people trying to start an online business.** End Summary**

Online Turnkey Business Opportunity, Does It Exist?

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0600

Does an online turnkey business opportunity really exist? There are all types of these offers that popup everywhere online. When you join this type of online business you are banking that the system will do a majority of the work for you. Many of these online turnkey businesses promise they will build a down line for you or even in some cases sell your products for you. People normally believe when something is too good to be true it normally is. Yes that is true to a certain extent. Two things that I find to be true are you cannot get something for nothing and easy come easy go. So does an online turnkey business opportunity exist, well yes and no. First off I have not found any online business opportunity that will build your organization for you, just because you signed up. If a company were to promise me this, I would get my checkbook and run the other way. I have seen many desperate salespeople promise the world just to get a sale or a signup. Then when they under deliver on their promise, they leave behind bitter and angry partners.** End Summary**

How Do I Build an Online MLM Business?

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0600

Building an online MLM business can be a great way to make a living for yourself. Building your online MLM business takes work and patience. You cannot take shortcuts and expect to make big money with your MLM. You must be persistent and dedicated to make your MLM work. Once your MLM business is up and running, the rewards will be well worth the effort. The first step is you must find a mentor and a team who is willing to work with you. The MLM business itself is not that important. What is important is that you receive the training and that you have the support to help you. Many MLM businesses do not offer good training. If this is your first time starting a MLM business, finding a business with great training is key. Without having the proper support for your business, it may take you a lot of trial and error before you succeed. It also helps to have the support because you may get negative feedback from many people. So the positive support will help you get through the rough times. Next you must learn how to market online.** End Summary**

Increase your Sales Lead List using Myspace

Thu, 02 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0600

By Eric Fields Increasing your sales lead list using myspace is a very effective method. Myspace has a huge network of people. Using myspace to create your leads is a very smart way to build your business. Many people are advertising using myspace. There is a correct way and incorrect way to advertise on myspace. We will go over the two. Using myspace to increase your sales lead list is just like using a forum to create leads. The key is building a relationship first. So first signup for a myspace account. Make sure that you add a picture because it helps build trust if people can see you. It will also look really awkward if you do not have a picture up. Next add some information about yourself. For example, what you do for a living, what businesses you are apart of, etc. Keep your myspace page looking professional especially if you are trying to advertise your business. There is nothing worse than someone trying to sell a product with an unprofessional page. Now it is time for you to network. First off, find your target audience.** End Summary**

Build Your Telemarketing Lead List Using Webrings

Wed, 01 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0600

By Eric Fields Using webrings to build your telemarketing lead list is a excellent way to acquire leads. Webrings serve two purposes. First they can bring your websites much exposure. Second you will find websites in pretty much every field that can help you, with whatever you are trying to accomplish. Before you can start using webrings to gain exposure for your websites, you must register. Go to webring.com and sign up. After you have completed the signing up process go through their start-up pages. One other point, when you decide to join a webring you will have to paste their code on your webpage. Now this is the tricky part of using your webrings to build your telemarketing lead list. You must look for webrings that have high traffic. After that you want to find webrings that are relevant to your websites. For example if your websites are about dogs, it would not make any sense to join a webring focused on stock tips. Make sure your website is well done, having a good website will help you get accepted into a webring. Normally the high traffic webrings want only quality websites added to their webrings.** End Summary**

Driving Traffic To Your Website Using Testimonials

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500

By Eric Fields Driving traffic to your website using testimonials will get you a good amount of traffic. First off many companies are looking for consumers to say good things about their products because it builds their creditability. Next when you find a good product why not say good things about it. It is a win-win for everyone because they get a free testimonial and you get free exposure. First never vouch for a product you have never tried because if the product sucks people are going to think the same about your product. Also only vouch for product that you have used and actually helped you. Your creditability goes down the drain if you vouch for a product that is worthless. So vouch for products that have benefited you. Driving traffic to your website gets easier with quality testimonials. So after you find a product you were able to benefit from, send a email to the company. What you want to explain in your email is how their product or service helped you with your product or service. For example" Dear Sam, I purchased your XYZ product and it benefited me in many ways.** End Summary**

Prospect Leads using an Affiliate Program

Tue, 24 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500

By Eric Fields Prospecting leads is hard enough but using an affiliate program makes it easier. What an affiliate program is, is where you are allowing other marketers to sell your product or program. You only have to pay when they make a sale. They have to cover all the marketing expenses out of their own pocket, which is great for you. The key is to make sure you reward your affiliates accordingly and make things as easy as possible for them. First we need to get an affiliate program set-up. So go to your favorite search engine and look up affiliate program systems. Find the affiliate program you are most comfortable with and go with them. They will install everything you need and explain how to use their system. Your prospecting for leads will get easier because your affiliate program is in place. Next we need to find affiliates. You can advertise wherever you please but I would suggest advertising for affiliates on clickbank.com. Remember the higher the commissions are that you pay, the better the affiliates you will get. If you only pay 10% of everything they sell you will not land the big affiliates.** End Summary**

How to use Viral Marketing to Drive Traffic to Your Webpage

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500

By Eric Fields Viral marketing is a great way to gain exposure for your site. The key of viral marketing is having your info passed from person to person. There are many different ways to use viral marketing, we will go over a few of them. 1. Writing Articles- Writing your own articles and submitting them to websites is a great way to viral market. Webmasters are always in need of content and all you have to do is provide them with quality content. 2. Writing Ebooks- Another way is writing your own ebook and giving it away for free. If you have never written an ebook before do not worry. Just go to google, there is a ton of info on how to write an ebook. Once you have your ebook you can also give it away as a free bonus for ordering your product. 3. Signature Files- Use signature files in every email you send out. Think about how many emails you send to family and friends. One way to really use your sig file is to send out a joke or something funny to the people you know.** End Summary**

Using Reciprocal Linking To Drive Traffic To Your Website

Fri, 20 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500

By Eric Fields Reciprocal linking is a great way to improve your ranking in search engines. All reciprocal linking is, is asking other webmasters to link to your webpage and in return you link to their webpage. The more links you have the better. The one disadvantage of reciprocal linking is it can be very time consuming. So first you should look for websites who have customers who can benefit from your product or service. For example, let's say you are selling dog food. You should look for websites that sell dog supplies, or things relevant to dogs. But you would not want to link up with a site that only sold dog food. It would not make sense. You can find websites to link with on Google, Yahoo or any other search engine. After you find the sites you want to link with, go ahead and email them. If your site does not produce heavy amounts of traffic, some of the sites with loads of traffic may not want to link up. This is where you can get a little creative. Try offering them a deal that the webmaster will benefit from.** End Summary**

How to Gain Traffic From Expired Domains

Thu, 19 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500

By Eric Fields Expired domains are the unknown way of driving traffic to your website. There are many benefits for you from using expired domains. First the traffic has already been built for you. Next the domain name has already been registered, so you do not have to do any work. I strongly suggest you read this article carefully and put into practice the information you get here. Okay so let's get started. First go to http://www.DeletedDomains.com . This is where you can find domains that relate to your business. The domain names should be somewhat relevant to your business. You may use domain names not related to your field but I find it more effective when I use domain names related to my business. Before you purchase your expired domain name, you need to perform certain checks. We have to make sure the domain name is still bringing in quality traffic. So go to http://Alexa.com and check your expired domain names to see their traffic level. Then go to http://www.archive.org to see if a website was ever built for the domain name. Now we need to see how many links the domain name has, the more the better.** End Summary**

How to Write a Killer Sales Letter

Wed, 18 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500

By Eric Fields When writing a sales letter there are certain rules you should follow. Your main goal when writing a sales letter is to catch your readers interest. Before you begin to write your sales letter, research your target audience. Learn what their common needs and problems are. Now let's continue to the content of the sales letter. Your headline is key. Go through newspapers, and other ads to see what headlines strike you as effective. You want your headline to jump out at the reader. Your headline should also point out how it will benefit your reader. For instance " 10 ways you can make 1 million in a year." That is an example of striking headline. Or " Learn how my red monkey makes 15 grand a month". Next you need to arouse curiosity in the first couple of sentences of the letter. Then you must show how your customer will benefit from your product or service. Remember to explain how your customer will benefit not how you will benefit. This is where most sales letters go wrong, they fail to convey the benefits of the product to the customer. Next establish credibility with your customer.** End Summary**

Promoting Your Website Offline Part II

Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500

By Eric Fields Here are some other ways to promote your website offline. This article is continued from Part I. This next method can be costly but this is what I consider taking your business to the next level. Sponsoring local community events, little league teams, high schools, and any other events you can get your hands on. Once you are the official sponsor you can post your banners on gyms, at high school football games, and any other events that draw a large crowd. Pass out free T-shirts, caps, pens, pencils, and anything else you can think of. Here are a couple things to remember. First and foremost by sponsoring the community you are building trust. Next you are creating repeated exposure for your business. Imagine having sponsored all the major events in your city, yes the cost to sponsor everything would be great but your profits would be even greater. People go with what they are familiar with. That is why all the major companies sponsor all the major events they can get their hands on. This all depends on your budget but it is well worth the cost.** End Summary**

Promoting Your Website Offline Part I

Mon, 16 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500

By Eric Fields Many people overlook promoting their website offline but promoting your website offline is a very effective way of driving traffic to your website. There are many different ways of promoting your website offline, it all just depends on what kind of budget you are working with. First there are a couple of things you should have ready before you begin to advertise your website offline. Your domain name is key. You want your domain name to be something easy to remember and catchy. Make sure it is also easy to spell and say. The easiest and most obvious way of promoting your website offline is through business cards. Business cards can be purchased for a low price and you should get a good amount of cards for your money. There are many ways to get your cards out. You can hire a college student to pass them out for you at big events or just give them to your associates. The next method would be flyers. Flyers are great because you can just leave them at high traffic areas. Like carnivals, sporting events, colleges, parking lots, and concerts.** End Summary**
