Re You An Internet Business "Wannabe"?
Are You An Internet Business "Wannabe"? By Ron Larkin
Are you one of the many people who would like to become the
next Internet Millionaire? You've read all the stories about
people who are making money sitting at home in their underwear
or on a sunny beach and want to get in on the action. Well, you
can, but it isn't as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of hard
work and some cash . Here is a short list of some of the things
you will need:
1. A Comprehensive Business Plan Don't even think of starting
until you have made a plan that includes who you will sell to,
what you will sell them, where you will get it, how you will
sell it and how to get the money to pay for all these things.
2. Your Own Domain and Website You won't get very far using a
free website with a long domain name. Prospects will think that
you are not serious about your business if you are not willing
to pay for your own name and site.
3. An E-Commerce Program You must have the capability to accept
orders, arrange for payment, preferably by credit card, and ship
the product. 4. Well Written Sales Copy Your website, sales
letters, e-zine advertisements, etc., will need hard hitting
selling copy to persuade your prospects to buy from you instead
of your competitors. If you can't learn to do it yourself you
will need to pay a professional copywriter. 5. Patience Building
a successful business on the Internet takes both time and money.
Don't fall for the "overnight miracle" stories. You will need to
re-invest your early profits back into the business. You will
make mistakes and need to make changes to your plan. Test and
re-test all aspects until you get it right.
