Can You Become A Millionaire with A Yahoo Store?
In January of 2004, they opened their online yahoo store
weddingfavors.com and the first month they did $11,000 selling
wedding favors at an average price of $2 per item. And that was
before Brad started using what he knew about search engine
optimization and building free search traffic. After all, that
was his day job and this was his wife's home business. So, all
of the traffic that came to their Yahoo Store the first month
was a result of online advertising.
But click through ad traffic is not the fastest way to attract
customers to a Yahoo Store selling wedding favors or any home
business online. Click through can establish a path, but free
search is the superhighway. Why? Because that's how most people
find what they're looking for online. They type some words into
a Yahoo or Google search box and Ta-da; sites related to their
search come up on the screen.
So Brad started plugging in everything he knew about search
engine optimization into the family's new wedding favors
business. By the third month, their home business site
weddingfavors.com pulled in $60,000 in sales. By the 4th month
it did $130,000 and by August 2004 it shot up to $400,000.
Now, weddingfavors.com is in the Yahoo Top Ten search for the
category: wedding favors and has climbed into the Top Ten on
Google for wedding favors. Isn't being in the Google Top Ten
every home business owner's dream?
The Fallon's Yahoo Store has merchandise (wedding favors) that a
lot of people search for at a price they are willing to pay.
This translates into volume. They also stock merchandise that
their buyers need in quantities of 100's and 500's and more when
they order. This translates into volume - big volume for this
successful home business.
Let's stop right here and take a pulse. What does the Yahoo
Store weddingfavors.com have going for it that other home
business owners can learn from? They chose a hot market with a
lot of activity They offered a selection of products that are
right for the market They sold them at competitive prices They
made ordering easy They established good customer service
Could you have these same factors working for your home
business? Of course, you could. To find out more get Brad
