Setting your Online Business Up for Success!
"Six Essentials you MUST have in place for your online business"
There is a common misconception that an "online business"
requires no investment...that you can make money online without
spending any.
When we hear this from people who are desparately trying to
build a successful online business it makes us angry!
We believe the misconception is primarily due to all of the hype
and false promises that arrive daily in our inboxes. Emails
promising us that we can make millions of dollars with no
financial output while we sit at home and do nothing. It's
insane and it's not the truth.
The truth is that you must treat an online business just as you
would a business in the conventional world. You must plan on
investing time, money and effort to ensure your success. The
good news is that your investment in an online business will be
MUCH, MUCH less than that of a business in the conventional
world.
With an online business, there are essentials that you must have
in order for your business to run smoothly and become
successful. You can literally run an effective online business
for $100-$200 a month. Later in this article, we will show you
how you can access many of these essentials in one place for
less that $10.00 a month!
But first...
Here are six essentials that you MUST have to run your online
business.
1. Your Own Website
This includes a domain name and web hosting for your site. You
must have a central place to send your customers, even if you
are selling multiple products or services.
2. A Professional Autoresponder
An absolute MUST for any online business. If you're not using an
autoresponder, you're losing money! That's the bottom line. Your
autoresponder should have the ability to create subscriptions
via email and web form and should be a professional one with no
ads! Fr~e autoresponders look unprofessional and they are not
reliable.
3. Ad Tracker
This is probably the most underused tool that we know of.
Consider this - most people who are NOT making money on the Net
have never used an Ad Tracker. Yet, ALL of the people that we
know who ARE making money on the Net - use one daily. It makes
no sense to spend money and time on advertising if you're not
going to be able to determine which ads are producing and which
ones are not. An Ad Tracker will solve this problem and save you
time and money in the long run.
4. Products or Services
You must have something to sell! This can be a service such as
web or graphic design, an mlm/affiliate program or products,
tangible or digital. If you don't have a specific product or
service in mind, there are thousands of profitable digital
products that come with resell rights. This means you can resell
them and keep 100% of the profit! 5. You must know HOW and WHERE
to advertise to bring targeted prospects to your Website!
You can save yourself a tremendous amount of time, money and
frustration by learning the effective advertising methods that
are available online. There are countless worthless ones that
are simply a waste of time. If you're new online, you won't know
this unless you find someone who is successful online and follow
their lead. Find a mentor or a membership site that offers step
by step Tutorials on online promotion. Make sure that the
tutorials are updated frequently to keep up with the changing
times of the Internet!
6. Leads
The lifeline of any online business! Just because you have a
website and products to sell, that doesn't mean you're going to
make money! To make money, you must drive targeted visitors to
your website. There are THOUSANDS of companies on the web that
sell Leads but if you just pick one out of the blue, it's trial
and error. Do some research and find a good source for leads.
Again, you can achieve this by finding someone who is
succcessful and following their lead. Or join a membership site
that includes Leads as a part of their package.
We promised we'd tell you about a membership site that includes
many of these essential items in one place. Have a look at
http://www.viralprofits.com With your membership, you get a
professional autoresponder, ad tracking, Leads, Digital Products
with resell rights, step by step training tutorials AND you can
earn money by referring others to the site. The tutorials are
updated frequently and NEW products are added each month so that
you always have something new to offer your customers!
So there you have it. With these six essentials, you've got the
foundation for a successful online business. Without them, it's
going to be a tough road ahead. Use them as a "checklist" and
make sure your online business is armed for success!
