Today we begin with a series of articles called myths to start an internet business.

The reality is:

Depending on the business you want to start, did not need much more than $ 200.
The reality is that most businesses do not need to incur many costs to start, we should not spend a lot of capital for the establishment before it has tested our business idea and our market.
This was what happened to most businesses in the 90s during the Internet bubble.
Therefore we must avoid such risks.

Once you have tested the idea of your online business and tried and proven a viable opportunity is when you should invest in some sort of Web design and product development.

In this sense to start a business online will not need more than a small website and suitable accommodation.
It does not require another type of investment.

Do you have a website that hasn´t been renovated in months?

Or… you are not updated regarding the changes that Internet has had…?

Or you are not having good results with your website…?

Or maybe you are planning to offer your products or services in

the web for the first time?

It´s time to face the reality:

Internet is the future of the commerce and those who don’t join it,will be definitively outside of all the business!

Presence online it is a necessity!

Let see some indispensable aspects that a sales website should contain:

*Description of the company or business responsible. (People needs to know what you do, before buying).

*Detailed description of all the products and services. (Be

clear and simple,avoid technical terms and use optimized images).

*For services companies,include a “briefcase” section with recent works and real cases. (Prove that you know how to do what you are offering).

*A personnel’s brief biography, with contact data and photographs.(this”humanizes” the place).

*Include a section with real testimonies. (This will demonstrate that you can help the clients).

*Resources section:includes tools, software, manuals and informative material. (This is important if you want to be seen as an expert).

*Electronic bulletin:send information, current news of the item, tutorials. (This is essential to keep the contact with current or postponed clients, to offer promotions and to get that those people re-visit the site).

*Contact form and consults: an indispensable method for the visitors gets to you.

*Recommended Links: a section where to offer other resources to

the visitors. (It should contain the exchange connections that you may have with other websites).

If you don’t have all these sections in your site, i´ll be good if you could incorporate them.(Even though this is little by little).

With regard to the DESIGN:

To make the people navigate the other pages, consider the products or offered services, subscribe to the bulletin or request more information,a successful website should attract sufficiently the attention of the visitors.

The design should look professional,keep one style in all the pages and should be pleasant to the eyes.

The combination of warm colors It´s recommendable.

The texts should be located on white or very clear bottom.

The pages should be loaded quickly in the navigators of the visitors.

It is indispensable a good surf system that allows to go from a section to another with no more than 2 “ clicks “.

ATTRACTING VISITORS to the website:

Many beginners believe that it´s enough with just putting a site in

the web for thousands of people enter… hopefully that was true!But regrettably, it is required of a lot of work and dedication to get traffic.

A website can be spectacular,have valuable contents

and offer excellent products… but if it´s not promoted,it won’t have visitors, and consequently, there won’t be sales!

There are some basic and indispensable methods that any website proprietor shouldn´t obviate.

There are also technical and marketing strategies and web promotion,as simple as effective that can get thousands of daily visitors.(And without operative expenses!).

SITE MAINTENANCE:

A website doesn’t have to be static: a successful website is the one that evolves,updates and grows!

If you want the visitors recommend you and come back in another opportunity, you should give them a reason for that.

Also,by updating and including new contents to the pages,you will make the site improve considerably in the searchers ranking.

Members programs are systems in wich the dealers (the website and products owners) pays a commission for the sales or references that the participants of the system generate.

The commissions depends on the quantity of generated sales

(or referred ones) that the member sends to the dealers site.

In other words,commissions depends on the purchases maded by the people that the member sent.

Those purchases can be for the sale of products,services,paided subscriptions… and in some cases, they even pay just for the quantity of people that the member sends to the dealers site.

Advantages:

The great advantage is that you don’t have to fight with purchase orders,shipment of products, neither client support.

You just have to guide traffic to a web site of the system (some systems grant you predesign pages), and in other cases, (recommendable) you will have to create your own site (or create a page inside an existent site of your own)

Disadvantages:

The great disadvantage is obvious… you´ll get much less money that if you sell the product by yourself.

At this point I want to be clear that, if we speak of promotion and of directing traffic, it costs the same work to promote your own product that one of a system of affiliated.

The big difference is that in the first case, you get 100% of the earnings, while with the affiliated systems or MLM, you only get a commission.

I cant avoid to mention that it ALWAYS will be much more profitable to sell your own product or service… but there will be who don’t count with it.

In that case, I recommend to acquire a product that includes the

100% of the resale rights.

Another big disadvantage with the affiliated systems or multilevels,it´s the BIG amount of frauds or tricky systems that there are in Internet.

I know a lot of people that invested their money and hard work during months, and they only got coins.

Disadvantage 3:

Almost all the systems of this type don’t put limitations in

the quantity of members that the system supports.

After a time, you´ll find out that there are thousands and thousands

of people offering the same product, and that all those people, have an identical sales page!

That ends up saturating the product, the system and filling the patience of the users who receive hundred of identical advertising mails daily… as it´s the case of a recognized system that offers tourist packs!!

Returning to the topic of how to get earnings with these

systems, I suggest you to follow these simple instructions:

Your main product should not be the one of the affiliated system. The products or services that you offer by means of these systems should be “secondary” or “complementary” to YOUR main product.

If when registering in these systems, the dealer offers you a “free affiliated page”,DON´T send your public there…!!Whereas, create your own page, with your own sales chart and your own expressions.

With this, you will avoid that the buyers ends up acquiring the product by means of another member…and also, you will differ notably of your competitors (this is,other affiliated).

In that page (your own),create a form to receive consultations, frequent questions, etc, and CREATE your OWN potential clients’ database.

Contact them via e-mail, with promotional messages, with extra details of the product, etc. This is called PRE-SELL.

After,(and only after) that the potential client is convinced that he needs,wish and wants to acquire the product,it´s when you will direct him to the page that the owner of the affiliated system assigned you.

You must already have deduced the reason for all this… and yes…! potential clients database will be YOURS ,and only you will know it… and you will be able to use it in the future to PRE-SELL another related product, of another affiliated system!!

In this way, you also will avoid the risk that the owner of the system use your referred for other commercial purposes… mmm…. do you understand?

Have present that:

The database of potential clients that had subscribed

in the forms of your website and had given THEIR PERMISSION

to receive your messages, it is the MOST VALUABLE possession of your business (of any item) and… if you manage it correctly, it can become a sales machine!!

To sell products in auctions web sites could be a highly profitable business!

Here you have some ideas of products that you could offer in auctions systems:

- Any kind of books (printed or digital)

- Own software

- Collectable articles (stamps, money note, coins, etc.) – Art and handiworks (paintings, sculptures, art works)

- Electronic products or hardware

- Textile production (own)

- Unpublished or exclusive articles

- Regional products

- Crafts

etc.

Most of the auctions sites,offers you an exclusive page so you can show the details (even pictures) of all your products,”basic” prices, the date

of the auction and your contact information.

This doesn’t means that you don’t need your website…

Sincerely, a website it´s useful for many reasons:

Since you have more space,It allows you to describe your products with more details.

After you begin to sell your products in an auctions site, you can “redirect” the people to your website to offer them other articles.

You can use other commercialization methods (different

to those offered at the auctions site).

Advantages:

The clients will buy from you directly. And if the product is of their pleasure, you can “guarantee” that client and sell him others related things.

There are not limits in the amount of sales that you can do.

The majority of the serious auctions sites,promote instantly, and by differents ways, your offer.

Disadvantages:

Most of the auctions sites charges a small percentage of the sales.

Pre-sale service: you should dedicate some time in assist the consults and frequent questions that interested people leave in the auctions site.

Scheduling step to step:

1 – Acquire or create your own product

2 – Visit and investigate the different options of sales of those auctions

sites of the web.

These are the most popular:

http://www.ebay.com

3 – If you still don’t have it,develop your own web site!

4 – Publish the sales chart with details, extra pictures, etc.At this point,I want to emphasize that of the sales chart depends 90% of the decision that the potential client will takes.

This “chart” it´s, probably, the most important part of your business and you need to acquire some knowledge to elaborate it efficiently.

5 – Marketing: promote,promote and promote!

Put into practice proved marketing and publicity strategies that might assure you to guide a big amount of traffic to the page of your auction.

With a little investment, without risks and being able to obtain

earnings in less than 1 month…

Business opportunities are plentiful in internet, but one

of them, stands out above all those that a small manager can operates from his house or in his free time.

That opportunity is the digital publication.

About an 85% of the users of Internet navigates the web

searching for information.

For that reason,the best product to negotiate in Internet it´s a digital informative product!

- Low initiation costs

- Very small operational costs

- High margin of earnings

- An automatic business

You may say that all those things are certain for all

the business in internet, but it´s not like this…

If you have a company of tangible products, you will need to send the product through a transport company.

If you have a company that offer services of any item,you will be able to make money only when you are really working, because if you stop, your entrances also will do.

If you join to a affiliated system to promote or sell products of other companies, the entrances for commissions won´t be to much, and you will have a big margin of risks with managers that only want to take advantage of you to promote their own business.

That´s right. It is almost impossible to receive a good check of any affiliated program unless YOU operate your

own electronic bulletin of voluntary subscription and deals personally with the potential clients and show them your own chart of sales.

It´s hard to check that they adjudge you the commissions and not to other members.

To all this, you should add: to have your own website, to use effective technics of promotion, marketing strategies, etc.

And now I ask you…

If you need all that to obtain earnings with a system

of affiliated… why not to deal your own product and stay with all the mount of the sales?

Whith regard to work and dedication,there are no differences.The great difference it´s in the earnings that you will get!

Let´s see… to create your own business with a digital product:

You have 2 options:

- Create your own product

- Acquire a product with resale rights

What kind of product create or acquire?

- Informative bulletins.

- Educational bulletins.

-Any kind of courses in ebook.

The topics can be very diverse:

medicine (any kind of diseases), alternative medicines, natural medicine, first aids, diets for children, diets to get off weight, fitness, design of interiors, decoration,how to invest in properties,in the stock exchange, support material and resources for university students (any career and any specific matter),design graph courses, web design, advertising design, cars design, fashions design, drawing courses,

painting, ceramic, handiworks, crafts, publicity, any software course, repair of PC, armed of

nets, communications, telephony, make-up courses , facial beautyness, advices for a healthy life, courses of mental control, psychology, marketing strategies, economy, international trade, electronic trade, technology (applied to any item), agriculture, cattle raising, production (any kind), and thousands of options more…!

You surely have some knowledge or you stand out in

some item than could be of public interest,you can contribute knowledge or solve some problem to other people… people that won’t doubt to pay to obtain

that information!

The sales are carry out at the website and the product delivered automatically after the client pays… what saves you the whole work of freights and transport of delivery.

Of course you will have to dedicate time to the creation of a good product. That´s fundamental to achieve sales.

Automate the business is another important task that you should make. Otherwise, you would also reach the success, but whith the cost of many daily hours of work.

Advantages:

Low initiation and operational costs.

High margin of earnings (90% or more).

It works 95% automatically.

You´ll get earnings quickly.

Clients in the whole world .

You work from your own house and in free times.
