Posted on by

Many people these days are starting their own online business and taking control of their own work hours and lifestyle. Indeed, being your own boss has never been easier and we look at how you can get started.

It is increasingly easy these days to start your own small macro business online and to make a decent enough living from your efforts. The days of relying on a job for life and having to work nine to five have long gone. Indeed, if you have the desire and ability to motivate yourself, starting an online business is worth considering.

But how can you develop a business online and what does it involve? How do you get started and how can you market yourself online? Let me explain below.

1. The Beginning and Buying a Domain Name

One of the first things you will want to do is to choose a domain name. A domain name is your website home address and it is where your website will sit. Your domain name can be your own name, a business name or whatever you want it to be.

The biggest issue tends to be that all of the best names have gone but there are a few tricks to choosing an available name. Using your own name is often a simple way to find an available domain, but also consider using an extension such as dot.co so, for example, yourname.co.

Once you have bought a domain name, you can purchase cheap affordable hosting. The hosting is where your website will sit and it is a little like your domain name is your home address and the hosting is the land your house sites on.

The easiest way to quickly develop a site is to use the WordPress content management system and this is free and easily found by Googling the term WordPress.

2. Choosing Your Business Niche

Before choosing your domain name, you might want to first be clear though on exactly what niche you plan to build your business on online about. You might already have a clear idea of the business you want to build online. It might be a hobby that you want to begin to monetise or a new business you want to build from scratch.

Blogging is one way that many individuals begin to build an income online. Blogging involves writing regular content and building a following within a specific niche. The trick is to write high-quality informative and genuinely useful content that helps you to build trust and a relationship with your readers.

3. Building a Sales Funnel

As you develop traffic to your site and a readership, you may want to begin to make an income to at the very least, cover your domain name and hosting costs.

If you want to make a small income from the very start and with very little effort, Google Adsense is one the easiest ad networks to use. This can be set up within a few minutes and the ads will normally show up within an hour and are automatically placed on your site by Google. You will generate an income every time someone clicks on the ad on your site.

In the long term for a much greater income, it is best to build an email list. This list is your direct and valued way to keep in touch with your readers and followers. As you build this list and develop trust as an expert in your niche, with your readers, you can begin to use this list to push products or services you sell.

With search engines such as Google and Bing and social media networks, their way of ranking you can change overnight and you can lose the position in a search engine for the terms you ranked for. The great benefit of an email list is that this follows you in that you own and manage the list and it is devoid of search engine algorithm changes.

4. Making Sales

You may wish to start an Etsy shop because you make and sell arts and crafts. Alternatively, you might be planning to make a living through affiliate income. Affiliate income is income that you make by being given a small percentage commission for selling other people’s products on your site. Indeed, some website owners make a six-figure income as affiliate marketers. Affiliate marketing can be a very good income.

Another option is to sell digital products, such as if you sell digital training materials. The great benefit of selling digital products can be broken down into two points. Firstly, once you make a digital product, you sell it once but you can also sell the very same product 10, 100 or even 1000 times. In other words, it is scalable, meaning there is no limit to many products you can sell. You do not rely, for example, on warehouse space, as you might do if you were selling products offline.

Secondly, selling digits products online is passive. By this, it means that you do not have to be sat at your computer when a sale is made. You might be sat on a beach in the Maldives, or driving around on safari in Kenya when your items are being sold. Selling digital products online can be fully automated and this provides you the freedom to only be online when you want to be. Certainly, though, you will want to ensure you provide decent customer service by frequently checking inquiries and feedback that you receive by email.

5. Who Can Start an Online Business?

You might be surprised by the range of people making a living online. There is simply very little limit to the potential in terms of business types and niches, income and age groups who make a living online. You might also want to start your own online business and join the millions already working for themselves and benefitting from the technological age.

Bringing Your Retail Business Online

Posted on by

Before you decide whether the time is right to bring your retail business online, it’s best to firstly consider the advantages and find out if they outweigh the disadvantages when applied to your business.

mediaimage
For business owners that have yet to bring their retail business online, it can be a daunting prospect. You will have to recruit a web developer, or appoint an agency; you will have to fulfil orders going all over the world; and you’ll have to ensure that you get enough online customers to cover your costs. While there are certainly lots of things to think about, and lots to do, the results can be very rewarding if you manage to do it right.

The Advantages Of Bringing Your Retail Business Online

Before you decide whether the time is right to bring your retail business online, it’s best to firstly consider the advantages and find out if they outweigh the disadvantages when applied to your business.

• Investors do not have a lot of confidence in offline retail businesses at the moment. That’s why it can be best to be in the online game as early as possible. Investors feel that more dollars will move online as customers become more confident about online shopping. Through having a position online you will be able to capitalise on this growing market.

• The market opportunity is so much larger for a smaller initial capital investment. Getting a website designed will probably cost less than a years rent for your shop, and the costs are very low on an on-going basis for hosting and domain registration. For this small amount you will get an opportunity to compete in a global marketplace.

• You will be able to save money on costs that you can’t avoid offline. You will be able to save on retail expenses such as rent and sales assistants’ wages. You will also not have to have physical goods on display, and that means you will be able to decrease the amount of stock that you will have to hold.

• You will be able to migrate some of your offline customers online, and you will be able to save money immediately. You will be able to save on costs straight away, and you may even choose to pass some of these savings back to the customer in the form of lower prices. Unlike some e-commerce businesses, you will be able to leverage your offline retail presence to work online.

The Advantages Of Bringing Your Retail Business Online

Here are some the disadvantages to bringing your offline business online with an e-commerce website.

•You will have to compete with businesses all over the world. You will no longer have a local monopoly, if you have that at the moment. This means that you may have to end up charging less online than you do offline in order to succeed. In doing this you may cannibalise your offline business.

•While you will find that many costs of sale will shrink, like staff wages and rent apportionment, you will now have to pay some expenses that you will not have to at the moment. This includes outbound carriage, internet marketing, hosting, web design fees, and more card processing fees.

5 Reasons Why You Should Build a List

Posted on by

It is always recommended to build a list when in business online marketing any products or services. Many marketers ‘grimace’ at the thought of some visitors never seeing their sales page if they choose not to opt in to the list. Read on to see 5 compelling reasons why it is a much better business decision to divert traffic to an opt in page first!

It is always recommended to build a list when in business online marketing any products or services. Now there are many who may grimace at the thought of sending traffic to a page specifically designed to build an opt in list. The ‘complaint’ is that if visitors do not opt in they never see the sales page and the traffic they worked so hard to generate simply ‘floats’ away! What they fail to consider is the compelling advantages having an opt in list of people you can contact by email offers in terms of business growth!

Here are 5 indisputable benefits you need when in business online marketing any product or service that an opt in list can easily provide you!

Branding is Easier

Branding is all about continually reinforcing any image you have selected to represent you or your business. By virtue of having repeated contact with your opt in list members it makes it so much easier to reinforce the brand/image that best serves your business purposes!

Relationship Building is Easier

People need to feel comfortable with you or their ‘situation’ when making buying decisions and this is true online or off! Just simply landing on a sales page does not normally create the comfort people need to make a decision to spend their money. On the other hand having the ability to make continual contact with these people allows you to make them more comfortable with you and ultimately their decision to make a purchase!

Contact is Easier

Whenever you have a new product or service to promote it is infinitely easier to simply send out an email than it is to generate traffic. This is not to say you should stop generating traffic altogether but only to make a point of how easy it is to make contact with the people who are on your opt in list. One broadcast message is all it takes to present any new message or promotion and you can do this at any time!

Communication is Easier

Communicating with people on a regular basis allows for certain in-formalities which is great for making everybody feel more at ease! In most cases when in business online marketing just about anything, you usually have to make the best with each message you send out. This requires carefully scripted sales copy which can take time and money! On the other hand when you have repeated access to people through email, every message you send does not and should not be promotional in nature. This makes composing messages much easier thus allowing for a more informal approach which helps in turn to build relationships.

Promoting is Easier

As relationships develop it stands to reason that people become more familiar/comfortable with you which help tremendously in boosting your marketing effectiveness. This is why you want to be sure you do NOT promote something with every email you send out. By supplying useful information and asking nothing in return it will help build trust. The result will be that people will be more responsive to your marketing efforts when you do offer something!

The need to build a list for anyone in business online marketing anything at all is something that should take priority over sending traffic directly to your sales page. The repeated benefits of having an opt in list far exceed those of the short term profits you ‘may’ receive with a quick sale! As out discussion above explains the benefits you get having repeated access to people are immeasurable in terms of business growth, profitability and security. So the moral of the story is that if you are still sending people directly to a sales page you are likely losing additional long term profits! Remember however, it is never too late to start building an opt in list and today is as good as any to begin!

When it comes to starting a home business online, there are plenty of opportunities for the average person to consider. Some of these opportunities are legitimate while others are not. When choosing a business opportunity to pursue, an individual needs to do a little bit of research. Otherwise, he or she could invest a lot of money into something that does not pay out in the long run.

What to Look For

When it comes to starting a business online, there are a number of factors for entrepreneurs to look for. For one, the business needs to fill a definite need. If the business does not seem to provide any kind of service that people would pay for, there is not much reason to invest in it. As long as the business provides some kind of product or service that people would need, it may have some potential.

Another factor to consider is whether the market is over-saturated with other businesses. For example, some affiliate programs online have thousands of affiliates promoting the same products and services at the same time. This makes it difficult for affiliates because they have to compete against one another to get the same traffic. While it’s fine if there are some other businesses doing the same things, the market should have room for growth.

When choosing a home business to get involved with, the entrepreneur should also consider the startup cost. Almost every business has some kind of startup costs involved with it. Some businesses are much higher than others. The nice thing about starting a business online is that the costs to get started are usually minimal. Business owners don’t have to go out and buy a piece of prime real estate, and pay for a building to be constructed. Instead, they can simply create a website and get started doing business.

Read Reviews

When picking a business to get involved in, potential business owners should also spend a little bit of time reading reviews about the business opportunity. With many online businesses, entrepreneurs can see what other people say about a business before they invest. For example, an entrepreneur may want to check with the Better Business Bureau to see what type of reputation the business has. By checking these types of resources, the potential business owner can find out if there are any problems with the business. When a business is a scam, it should have a negative score on the Better Business Bureau website, and on many other sites that allow users to post reviews.

Making the decision to start a home business online can be one of the best decisions an entrepreneur ever makes. As long as the decision is carefully planned out and tracked, it has the potential to be very lucrative and rewarding.

How To Start A Mobile Phone Business, An Introduction

Posted on by

Are you looking to get out of the rat race? Want to start a mobile phone business but not sure where to start? Here is a quick look at some of the things you might want to consider before striking out on your own.

mediaimage
So your job seems to be going nowhere and this current recession has you worried. What are your options?

You could look for yet another position at yet another firm, with the hope that it will be marginally better than the one you have now and that you will actually move up the corporate ladder instead of sideways. Or you could start to build your own business on the side and have something to go to when you are ready.

Becoming self-employed has been the dream of many people for a very long time. After all, when there’s millions willing to join the rat race there must be an equally large group who want to leave it behind.

So how do you do that and what field do you choose? Which money making venture you chose depends on what you think you will do well at. There are almost as many different ways of starting your own business as there are people in the world.

Selling things online or through bricks and mortar businesses has often been the way many people choose to make money for themselves. One good product line to select could be the cell phone. In short, start a mobile phone business.

Why start a mobile phone business?

While the world is in recession right now and consumers aren’t buying as much as they used to consumer electronics have managed to buck this trend… handset sales will grow by 3% in the US and Europe next year with developing markets like South America, Asia and Africa achieving much stronger growth in wireless cell phone sales.

People still want to keep in touch with each other when times are tough and if you start a mobile phone business that is online or through eBay then phones are fairly easy to ship to different countries due to their small size and light weight and cellular phones will not incur the huge duties that some other, higher profile items attract.

How can I sell mobile phones?

You can sell cellular phones any number of ways. By opening up your very own bricks and mortar cell phone store, stocking GSM phones, CDMA phones and cell phone accessories or utilize the classified section in newspapers and magazine.

There are also a number of ways online to start a mobile phone business, including opening your own online cell phone shop, marketing cellular phones through online classified sites like Craigslist.org or through online auction sites like eBay and Amazon.

How do I know which cell phones you should sell?Selecting the unlocked cell phone to stock on your online store when you start a mobile phone business is a difficult job as there is such a wide range of unlocked mobiles available these days.

While I will talk about the different shapes and types of unlocked phone, their various benefits and problems and the types of people who buys each type of mobile in another article it very much depend on the types of people who use your service.

It doesn’t matter whether you choose to stock a bar phone, flip phone, clamshell phone, ladies phone, slide cellular phone, flip cell phone or PDA. And you will succeed just as well if you get a movie phone, a music phone or one that lets you watch videos on phone. There are two things to make sure of… that you get phones that will work in the markets that you are selling them to and you buy unlocked cell phones.

All cellular networks around the world work within the frequencies 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900MHz with some networks operating on two or more frequencies. As a result most phones available wholesale operate on two, three or four bands.

Matching the ideal phone band to the market is essential for people who want to start a mobile phone business as it will be the difference between a phone that works and a phone that doesn’t. If you have people buying unlocked phones from all over the world you are better selling quad band cell phones as these international phones will give you the coverage you need.

What is the difference between a locked and unlocked phone and why should I buy unlocked cell phones?

A locked cell phone is one that is sold by a particular carrier and cannot be changed to another server unless the carrier themselves do it. For example, if you have an iPhone or a Blackberry, you are an AT&T customer and you want to use Verizon’s service then you have to call up AT&T and ask them to switch you to Verizon. Most locked cell phones are CDMA phones.

Unlocked cellphones don’t come attached to a carrier so you can select which carrier you use. These are almost always GSM phones as the GSM SIM can be removed from unlocked GSM phones allowing another to be put in.

So why choose to sell unlocked cell phones over locked cell phones? The simple answer is when you start a mobile phone business then you’re not going to have much money and you won’t want to pay the licensing fee necessary to buy network-approved phones. And with unlocked phones you’re able to buy phones wholesale which give you more profit and more freedom to run the business the way you want.

Where can I find cell phones to sell?Sourcing products is one of the biggest headaches of anybody involved in e-commerce and buying unlocked cell phones is no different.

If you want to find unlocked cell phones you can look in several areas, from a local wholesale company, from a wholesale importer in bulk lots on sites like eBay and overstock or through wholesale dropship companies that stock China cellphones wholesale. As cellphones and most electronics come from China these days this would probably be a logical step. Thankfully many of these wholesale dropship firms are online these days.

Learning From Your Mistakes

As long as your willing to learn from failure and move on you’ll likely find yourself successful at what you’re trying to achieve!

How To Write Your Own Order Pulling E-zine Ads

Posted on by

One of the most … ways to … your business online is to place your ad in e-zines. A well written ad run over and over in a … e-zine can … achieve more profit for you

mediaimage
One of the most effective ways to advertise your business online is to place your ad in e-zines. A well written ad run over and over in a responsive e-zine can successfully achieve more profit for your business in new and then repeat sales every single month.

To begin writing your own profit generating e-zine ads that continually bring you more sales:

1. Start with a compelling headline.

The first and most important part of your ad is your headline. It is what will set your ad apart from all the other ads published in an e-zine.

To get your readers’ attention your headline must engage your readers’ self interest. It must tell your reader what is in it for them. For instance “How To Lose 20 Pounds In 30 Days Or Less” or “How Write Your Own Order Pulling E-zine Ads.”

You can also grab your reader’s interest by asking a question or by offering your reader something newsworthy or informative. People are always interested in new and interesting things that help them do something better or that make things easier for them in some way.

If possible use the word free in your headline. The word free is the #1 attention grabbing word and will automatically draw your reader’s attention to your ad.

Avoid headlines that are cute or that are misleading. Even if you do get more visitors to your site you are unlikely to get any sales.

2. Make the body of your ad benefit rich.

The body of your ad copy should get your reader excited about what you have to offer. Stress how your product or service can make your readers’ life better or make things easier for them.

When deciding which benefits to stress in your advertising, get into your customers’ minds. Ask yourself why your customers have bought your product. What are the main benefits your product offers that cause your customers’ to make a purchase? What benefits are most appealing to your customers?

If you can answer these questions you will be able to easily fill your ad with benefits that will be especially attractive to new people you introduce to your product through your ad.

3. End your ad with a call to action.

Once you grab your readers’ attention and build up your readers’ interest, the final step is to tell your reader what you want them to do with a call to action such as act now, get the details now, or learn more now.

When writing your ad don’t try to sell to your reader just from your e-zine ad.

Use your ad to create interest and desire for your product, and then use your call to action to direct your reader to your site and let your site sell your product to your visitor with a powerful sales message and/or ask your reader to e-mail you for more information so that you can successfully follow up with her.

Real Estate Investor Lead Generation?

Posted on by

Work with a real estate agent. Before you start searching for a property lead, you should consider hiring a real estate agent to be a part of your team.

mediaimage
Real Estate Investor lead generation is the primary mechanism for any successful real estate investor.

There are many advantages of Lead Generation such as direct communication and information flow to the target market, lead generation system and low-cost implementation.

Leads generated from lead generation system helps in time management, accurate and efficient results and a large database of clients to work with.

Lead generation from online resources helps a lot to generate leads and get good ROI and make a good profit.

For real estate investor lead generation, we need to target two segments – the local market segment and the national market segment.

For the national market segment, one has to invest in properties in major metro areas. Metro areas have a high demand for real estate and have better growth potential and are more lucrative.

The major metro areas have a large amount of property available for sale and this has made them ideal for real estate cash buyer leads generation.

For the local market segment, we need to target investors who are interested in purchasing residential properties.

This segment has a lot of space and this is where we can focus our efforts. Many properties available for sale in a particular city or neighbourhood and many investors are looking out for good deals, so we should target these investors.

Another important segment is the unincorporated territory led by an experienced real estate agent. Unincorporated territory have less competition and more opportunities to make good profits.

Therefore we should target these investors and provide the best residential and commercial real estate leads.

What is Real Estate Lead Generation Ideas?

For a real estate agent, a lead generation idea is basically an idea or strategy that you can employ in order to Generate Qualified Leads for your business.

Now, as we all know, generating leads and then converting them into sales is the soul of every real estate agent.

But if you really want to be in the game, you need to make sure that you are always bringing in qualified leads, because if you are not, no one else will be.

That’s why some great ways to generate leads for your business online involve social networking, Facebook Ads and other great ways of generating leads and turning them into sales.

I will discuss ways of leveraging these methods to get more leads for your business online.

One great way of leveraging Facebook ads is by creating a Facebook fan page for your realtor website.

This is actually a really neat idea and it allows you to leverage the power of Facebook to attract homebuyers and sellers to your site.

To do this, you go to Facebook and create a page for your real estate website. You will then invite people to join your account, which they can then add to their list so that they can see the real estate listings that you have available for them.

Another great way of getting leads for your business online is through Facebook Ads. To do this, all you need to do is go to the ad section, click on the box “Create an ad”, follow the instructions and then place your contact information on the opt-in page so that the people who would like to receive your free information can contact you.

When someone does contact you via the ad, you will be sending them a little message telling them that you were not able to send them the information they requested due to the volume of requests.

Building Your Business Online – Think Long Range

When building your business on the internet it is common to expect quick results simply because so many speak of overnight riches! The first thing you MUST get straight is that in order to develop a money making business you will need time! Read on to see how in order to make a good living online a patient mindset is required and the 3 ways it will benefit you!

When building your business on the internet it is common to expect quick results simply because so many speak of overnight riches! The first thing you MUST get straight is that in order to develop a money making business you will need time! True enough you can earned a good living online but your mindset must be one of patience and a willingness to put forth any necessary effort. With that said your approach needs to be one of diligence and the expectation that your progress will be gradual. Most profitable businesses found online were built over time and it was the investment of this time that gives them the strong foundations they enjoy today!

Let’s have a look at 3 ways in which a more patient mindset increases your chances of building a money making business online!

Realistic Expectations

This is a very important yet overlooked aspect of building a money making business and that is possessing realistic expectations. Having the mindset that your efforts will result in overnight success, will only set you up for failure since you are sure to be disappointed. With disappointment comes disillusionment which eventually leads to a loss of enthusiasm and you simply quitting! Additionally your ability to properly plan and/or establish and execute effective ‘growth’ strategies will be hindered as well!

Know When to Say When

Set your hours and stick to them. You may feel you’re on ‘roll’ and therefore decide to burn the midnight oil and that’s OK just do not make it a habit! It will disrupts your work schedule and productivity over the next few days due to fatigue! Always remember that in order to make a good living online you must build a solid foundation and there is no way around it, this will take time! It is best to maintain a consistent work schedule that also allows for personal time as well. Consider yourself a battery and if you are not properly recharged you WILL burn out! Once this happens all previous efforts then go to waste!

Mindset of a Turtle

This is not to say ‘go slow’ but more to remind you that your progress may be slow, at least in the beginning stages. Make your daily goals and objectives challenging for sure but not impossible. Only plan for what you can accomplish, and this is important, with a quality effort! In other words get the job done right the first time and do not set yourself up to have to repeat your efforts in order to correct your mistakes! This will only result in you investing more time and experiencing more frustration neither of which helps to strengthen your resolve! Remember most profitable businesses are the result of much time and effort put into patiently building the foundation upon which they rest. If you are willing to invest the same while maintaining realistic goals and expectations there is no reason you can not make a good living working on the internet!

It is important to realize that when building your business online it will NOT be an overnight event but more a long range process! Many aspiring entrepreneurs begin with the expectations they can literally slap up a site which magically transforms itself into a money making business in a very short time. Thinking in this way can actually set you up for failure since it opens the door to frustration and disappointment. The fact is that most profitable businesses found on the internet got that way by diligently building a strong foundation and this takes time! As our discussion above indicates your chances of earning a good living online are far greater with a mindset centrally focused around patience. The greatest difficult many encounter when trying to build themselves a successful money making business is their own lack of patience. Think of this process as more a marathon and less a sprint and in doing so you will begin to develop the necessary mindset to succeed online!
