THE INTERNET:
Where Future Billions Will Be Made.
Plug Yourself In!
...and
let TheWebsiteDistrict take you there!
By Dr. Kevin Nunley
There is now no doubt. The
Internet really IS the biggest gold rush of our lifetime.
It is unlikely you or I will get another chance as big
as this one to earn huge profits anytime in the next
100 years. The World Wide Web is booming! Internet sales
are growing by leaps and bounds, and even a dipping
world economy can't make online entrepreneurs slow down
or look back
Ninety-two million people
in the US and Canada surf the Net. That's a whopping
16% jump in just nine months. People aren't just looking,
they are also BUYING online. The number of online consumers
has increased 40% in recent years to 28 million. Perhaps
even more important, the number of women buying online
went up 80% in the past nine months reaching the 10
million mark.
It is time to get on board!
This article tells you how to get online, get an Internet
presence that SELLS, and get your piece of the new Internet
pie. It is time for you to stake a place on the Net
for yourself, your children, and the generations that
follow. Someday people will look back and judge us as
one of two groups: those who didn't recognize the digital
revolution and missed the greatest chance of our age,
and those who smartly made a place for themselves in
a new business model that will dominate the future.
RUN A PERFECT HOME BUSINESS
You don't have to have a
website to run a successful home business on the Internet.
E-mail is the Net's most powerful and popular feature.
You don't need an office
in a prestigious address. Some of the Net's biggest
earners work from a corner in their bedroom, still in
their pajamas. Best of all, you don't need a wad of
cash to get your home business ideas rolling. Hard work,
dedication, vision, and a dream you are willing to see
to the end are far more valuable than lavish start-up
funds.
There are an endless number
of ways to make money on the Internet. You can offer
a service delivered conveniently by e-mail. You can
take orders for products that are shipped to customers
in the US and around the world. It's possible to start
your own e-mail newsletter and get paid for running
other people's ads. Building a hot website and earning
money by letting companies display their banners on
your pages are also options. You can also earn a good
extra income simply by referring customers to other
companies with a link on your website or in your email
messages.
NICHE YOUR MARKET AND PICK
YOUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Internet is a big place.
Millions of people are shouting about billions of products.
Online advertising is low-cost, but it is also a little
bit like yelling your message in a crowded football
stadium. Try to advertise to everyone, and you will
wind up getting the attention of no one. It's important
to niche your marketing.
Begin by deciding exactly
who will be your best prospects and customers. If you
don't already have something to sell, start by looking
for a big group that is online and needs help.
After trying lots of things
online, I found a huge number of people needed help
writing copy. Many people don't like to write. They
find they can't get started without web copy, sales
letters, and ads. Lots of folks are more than happy
to pay to have their copy written for them. They have
a problem, and are looking for someone to sell a solution.
Your best customers will
be people who have pressing needs or problems you can
solve. They hurt. You heal.
Look for places your target
audience goes to find products and services. What kinds
of websites do they visit? What e-mail newsletters do
they subscribe to? What magazines do they read? These
are the media outlets you will use to market to your
best prospects and customers.
The more you know about your
target audience, the better you will be able to reach
it, and the bigger your sales will be. You can get information
on customers by talking to them and by offering a questionnaire
on your website or by e-mail. Give a free gift or special
discount to those who complete your questionnaire. Good,
precise targeting quadruples the effectiveness of your
advertising and gets your cash register ringing.
Make your e-mail or website
copy talk directly to your best customers.
Use easy words and short
sentences. Customers love to hear the benefits they
will get after they buy from you. Talk about how the
customers will save more, earn more, save time, or feel
better. Provide examples or statistics that prove your
claims. Include testimonials from satisfied customers.
