Making Money On The Internet: What Every Newbie Should Know.

--------------------------------------- Are you ready to start
making money on the Internet but don't know where to start? If
you are, let me give you some free advice that will make it easy
while providing you with tips that you may not know or haven't
heard about.
One of the first thngs you will need is a money-making website.
Without a functional website, it is extremely difficult to have
a successful Internet Business.
You can get your own e-commerce website set up for free and
usually within 24-48 hours. Avoid companies that offer to set
your website up, furnish training, guarantee success, all for
the low cost of $3,000.00. There is absolutely no reason to
invest that much money to start your Internet Business. As I
said, there are ways to get a money-making website for free and
start your own business within 24 hours.
Once you get your website, you will need a hosting company which
is the company that stores the data that makes up your website,
on their servers. The company that builds your website will
direct you to a hosting company. The fees for hosting your
information is usually about $19.95-$20.95 per month.
What are you going to sell on your website. This may be a very
difficult decision for many people. Your product or service
should be something you are interested in. If you are interested
in gardening, focus on garden tools, plants, gardening tips,
etc. If you are interested in Internet Marketing, make your
focus on e-books, websign, marketing tips, or technology.
Focusing on areas of your interest will be beneficial to both
you and your customers.
After you have set up the basics of your website, you will want
customers to be able to view information and make purchases. In
order for them to make purchases, it is very important that you
are able to accept credit cards.
Probably the best way to do this is setting up a merchant
account through your local. DO NOT get affiliated with a
clearing house or other company who agrees to service your
credit cards (for a fee) and then requires you to do business
with THEIR bank. If that company and bank are out-of-state or
not easily accessible, it is too difficult to develp a business
relationship. Problems may occur that need your immediate
attention and that is hard to accomplish when you are 500 miles
away.
You should be aware that your credit card servicing company or
clearing house will more than likely have access to your bank
account. This is important to know just in case of a chargeback.
In the event of a chargeback, funds are taken immediately from
your bank account. A charge back can occur up to 120 days after
the sale.
A local bank allows you to deal with such matters in a timely
fashion. There are many good servicing companies. However, there
are also several that will actually cost you money in the
long-run.
Just remember, very little money should be invested to start
your own home-based business. There is definitley money to be
made on the Internet. Knowing the pros and cons before your
start can save you a lot of time and money.
Best regards,
