You only need five simple steps to have a successful Home
Grown Internet Biz. It's not complicated. In order of
importance...
1) Pick a target market.
a) Easiest market online? Biz Opp Seekers.
b) Hardest market online? Biz Opp mlm Seekers.
c) Quickest money online? Biz Opp Seekers.
d) Slowest money online? Biz Opp mlm Seekers.
e) Best long-term money online? Biz Opp mlm Seekers.
2) Develop, buy or join an affiliate program that offers a
product/service that solves one or more of your target
market's problems.
a) Easiest product/service online? Affiliate programs.
b) Hardest product/service online? Developing your own.
c) Best short-term product online? Affiliate info
product.
e) Best long-term product online? Stable mlm program.
3) Get a personal website address that you use to re-direct
your prospects to a professionally designed and
professionally written sales site that will make the
sale, take the order, fulfill the order and pay you.
(You don't really need to develop your own website...
Use a re-direct pages for your affiliate and mlm sites)
a) No explanation needed Except
b) Get an autoresponder system for long-term follow up.
c) Write and test follow up letters for your follow up
autoresponder system.
4) Build your own opt-in email list of people from your
target market. Let them get to know, like and trust you
by repeatedly contacting them with useful info.
a) Write articles directed to helping your target market
solve one or more of their problems. Include a
resource box at the end of your articles that gives
your contact info.
b) Send your articles to newsletter publishers that mail
their ezine to your target market.
c) Send your articles to the free to publish ezine lists.
d) Develop and send your own online newsletter to your
opt-in list.
e) Advertise your ezine's benefits every opportunity you
get.
5) Keep your name in front of that list by repeatedly
emailing them something they value.
a) Do a,b, c & d in number 4 above.
b) Include your recommendations about the products/
services you are offering.
c) Follow up with phone calls to those that ask for more
info.
d) If you don't regularly do step c (follow up with
phone calls) you shouldn't attempt mlm.
e) TIP: Unless you're a heavy duty marketer, you'll never
be able to retire in style...Unless you develop a
stable, honest, long-term mlm biz as your major
backend.
Your Home Grown Internet Biz Success really is as easy as
following the above steps. Will it take you awhile? Yeah.
Probably. So what? You have to do it for as long as it
takes.
Will it be a lot of work? I don't know. Work is 10 - 12
hours on the south end of a pair of mules headed north.
This stuff is fun...
For example, among other things, I sell affiliate programs.
You can count the number of affiliate programs I offer on
one hand. Why so few? Because I don't jump on the affiliate
flavor of the month bandwagon. To protect my reputation, I
don't sell new programs that haven't proven themselves. If I
wouldn't buy it, I won't sell it.
I'd like to offer more programs. More affiliate programs
equals more streams of income. I'd like to offer more, if I
could find more that I considered worthy.
Worth Repeating: The more affiliate programs, products,
services you offer the more income streams you'll have.
That's a good thing. (Thanks, Martha Stewart)
TIP: Start one program. Get it into positive cash flow
before you add another. Get the new one into positive cash
flow. Start another, etc.
Again, you want to offer only products/services of proven
value. You want to associate with honest biz partners. You
must give more value than you receive. You're a person of
your word.
You can get more detailed info on each of the above step on
the internet... For free. Just do a search on the search
engines. Follow the trail.
Don't forget to mark your trail, though. In my early
internet days, I'd find some great help. Then, I couldn't
find my way back to it.
But don't let your research delay your start up. You don't
have to be an expert before you get your biz started. Get
started. Take the first step. If you're paying attention,
the first step will lead you to your second step. And so
on. Get started. Merely do the above steps.
Here's why the preceding paragraph is important to you. You
can be making money while you're following these simple
steps. Then do your research during your off hours.
If you're in a hurry to get all the info you'll need at one
location... http://learnhow.at/webprofits Check it out. If
it fits you, go ahead and invest in this private site/
affiliate program (I just gave you an example of (b) in step
number 5 above).
Because I'm lazy, I look for easy, simple methods. The
above site helped me when I first started online. In fact,
I still use it often.
But you don't have to. You really can find everything you
need to know in the Five Simple Steps to Grow Your Home Biz
above. And you can fill in the finer points for free by
searching the internet.
Oh yeah. I almost forgot your most important step. Trust
yourself. Believe that if anyone can do it... So can you.
Be your best self. Let YOU come out. Don't pretend. Have
fun with the building, learning and growing process.
How strong your love, your trust and your belief in yourself
is will determine your success. It's a fact.
Don't care if you believe me. It's still a fact. I know
you can be your own best friend. It's just a decision that
you make. Really.
Email me and tell me what YOU think...I want to know
Peace, et/LDoTI... Helping YOU sell more.
