How bad do you want to make money on the Internet? You know thousands of people are doing it and maybe you’ve had a little success. But do you really want your own business operating 24 hours a day making money for you?
If you don’t then why are you reading this? You must know that you can do this or you would be off investing your time in watching TV or building an ant farm right now.
As a writer for a multitude of projects from web site content to detailed business plans all the way to press releases and promotional material, I’ve noticed one major difference in writing for the Internet versus writing for other channels of communication. Primarily writing good copy is essentially the same no matter where it’s presented but writing for the Internet requires one important distinction. That distinction is less verbiage with more impact!
Security becomes an issue when one person owns property and does not want others to gain possession of it. Items like a car, house, office, file cabinet and computer have to be protected from rogues who want to destroy or steal them.
Most security systems are built to protect physical items. These security measures include locks, alarms and ID cards, to name a few. But when you connect a computer to the Internet, you are now vulnerable to scoundrels who will attempt to gain unauthorized access to your computer for a variety of purposes.
“The Internet is an ideal environment for the bully and the self-righteous – you can attack personally without being personally in front of the victim. The flame is an unavoidable result of one-to-one communication that isn’t face-to-face…” Client Help Desk
Writing a book is an effort that not everyone takes pleasure in. Creating software takes special skills and patience. If you can’t write and can’t program, does it mean you can’t start an online business? Absolutely not.
What do you think of when you hear the word corporation? You probably think of large companies such as Microsoft, Dell Computers, and Exxon. These are huge companies worth billions of dollars. Do you know how they got that way? Well, I’m going to tell you. The answer is through the power of corporations. These companies did not start out as billion dollar conglomorates. They started small and used their corporate entity to shelter their money and create more assets. Yes, you can do the same thing. This article will not tell you everything you need to know, but it will make you think about the possibilities.
Whenever I try to convince myself that I am not a Salesperson, but a company President – I just take a look at my incoming revenue. No Sales = No Revenue. Whatever your feelings are about the sales profession, the fact is we’ve all got to have it. Also, it’s no mistake that the more successful the business, the more people it has selling – at all levels – no matter what their position or job function.
One of the major keys to making money online is by developing your own Theme Store/World Center. I have heard it as both of these and also as the phrase “Community Building.” No matter what you call it, the principle is the same. If you want a successful business online, you have to become valuable to your visitors.
When your prospects think of a certain subject, whether it be Internet advertising, golf, pets, etc., you want them to think of you. For example, when you think of books online, what comes to your mind? For many of us, it is http://www.amazon.com because they have a made a name for themselves in this area.
Not long ago, books, tapes and programs were all the rage telling how easy it was to make money in mail order. The ads are still running, and a few people are still reaping the rewards. Remember the guy making money from his kitchen table, wearing only his shorts?
In my Drop Ship Directory business, I’ve had a lot of email lately from people who know they want to start an Internet business, but just don’t know how to put the nuts & bolts together on the business end.
That’s not surprising. It can be confusing, and there are certain steps to be taken in a certain order. Without help, you can end up running in virtual circles for weeks.
