Many people are daunted by effective custom web design, site optimization, internet marketing, seo, etc. How can you blame them? There are so many so called “experts” out there spouting off the latest internet tripe. With just a little research, you soon discover that these experts are usually hawking some business opportunity or selling software. So, we’re going to divest the entire process of it’s mysticism and make it as plain as possible.

Here’s what you’ll need to market your business effectively on the internet. The first thing you’ll need is a great website. This is not the area where you want to play it cheap. Do not design your own website! Unless you’re a graphic designer, you’re probably not as artistic as you think that you are. Hire a good web design company. Think about it. The first contact that many prospective customers may have with your business are you marketing materials such as your web site. A well designed web site should educate, instill confidence and trust in potential customers and above all is A SALES OR CLOSING TOOL. This can not be emphasized enough. It should not merely be a pretty online brochure. It’s purpose to either directly or indirectly close business for you. Period.

 Make sure you check around on the internet and observe your competitors websites before deciding on the design of your site. A good design company will help you with this. Study the design elements and features of the most successful companies in your industry. Do searches to determine which of their sites get top rankings in the search engines. Also, look for opportunities to innovate to make your website even better than theirs. Make it clear what you want from your website to your web design company.

After your site is constructed, the next thing that you need is for your site to be optimized. Site optimization consists of selecting the right keywords and then imbedding those meta keywords and phrases in the pages and links of your site, installing site maps, doing link exchanges, installing robots and analytics, tying in blogs and article directories, posting articles, and more. This makes your website search engine friendly and helps to get you higher rankings in the search results. Make sure your design company is experienced at this. Some designers are just so eager to get the business that they’ll claim to know more than what they actually do. Do not bypass the site optimization step and just try to submit your site to the search engines. All that will happen is that no one will ever be able to find it.

The last component is actually internet marketing or promoting your site. One popular way is submitting your optimized website to the search engines. There are literally thousands to choose from. However, the majority of searches are done through: Google, Yahoo, AOL and MSN. A study conducted by Berrier Associates shows that of people who spend five or more hours a week online, they average an astounding 71% of their time searching for information. Other research shows that the most common method of finding a website is through search engines. Google powers over 70% of all searches and is the trendsetter for algorithm creation. Therefore, search engine marketing is of paramount importance.

Some search engines are free and others you pay for. A good SEO company can advise on which search engines work best for you. 

By applying just these simple strategies, you will be well on your way to getting good results from your internet marketing.

I know what you’re thinking, start and online business without having to market or advertise? Well it’s true. It is one component to a two part approach for starting an online business. For year’s many online e-Commerce businesses have attributed their success and associated costs to the traditional way of doing business online.

Approach #1

The traditional approach to starting an online e-Commerce business is to follow some simple actions to start the process. The following is a list of action items in no particular order that need to happen prior to set-up.

ü  Perform Market Research on the Business You want to Start

ü  Understand Drop Shipping or inventory management

ü  Legalize Your Business

ü  Create or buy a Domain Name

ü  Web Hosting or Site Creation

ü  Open a Checking Account

ü  eMail

ü  Website Optimization

ü  Customer Service

ü  Marketing

ü  Affiliate Programs

ü  Shopping Carts

ü  Obtain a Merchant Account

ü  Perform Competitive Research on the Internet

ü  Order Fulfillment

This is what the traditional approach is to starting an online e-Commerce business. Sounds like the same old information that you get from millions of websites on the internet. Times have changed and so has the business model. Business owners have spent countless dollars to search engines for advertising their business website. It is time that businesses that sell products get an upper hand on the market and put them in the driver’s seat. Online businesses have to pay for advertising, pay for marketing, invest countless hours on natural SEO, and a myriad of other out of pocket money that should remain in the possession of the business owner. The first approach continues to dominate the internet and will in the future.

Approach #2

The second approach requires “out-of-box” thinking. This approach focuses to looking at an online e-Commerce business with a fresh set of eyes. The first approach will act as a platform or vehicle for which businesses will process the orders and the second approach catapults the first. This model is known by multi-million dollar companies, but not to small businesses online that sell products. Remember that the traditional model is still being used and the mindset has not shifted from how to drive traffic to an e-Commerce website. Until the mindset is changed and the business owner chooses another path, business owners will not see the benefit to this approach. A comprehensive solution using the first and second approach has been fully developed and matured; however, online businesses still fail to realize their potential to capture the business. Imagine an online e-Commerce business that no longer requires excessive money to market and advertise, but simply generates income without the added expense. The thought of this approach can seem unreal. This is not the case. The reality is that the solution to this age old internet problem has been solved. In order to conceptualize this approach it does require that a business adopt this new method of business. The good news for those business owners that are skeptical of this approach, businesses do not have to abandon the traditional approach. That can continue as normal in parallel and adopt the second to achieve colossal results.

Business owners should feel that their interest level in the second approach has changed after reading this article. The desire for every business owner is to minimize costs and increase profitability. Adopting a new way to growing company profitability is here to stay it is up to the business owner to seize the opportunity before them. New business start-up’s that do not have a significant amount of capital to advertise, market, attract customers, and drive business, this is the time to act on the new approach to internet business. In searching the internet one can find work from home programs, purchase an online business already operational, start an online business, affiliate programs, financial blogging, and many more. The key is to develop a baseline of income from an e-Commerce business so that after your customer base is set, additional customers that attach themselves to you become pure profit. To expand on this, if your customer base enables a business to generate revenue with associated profit to cover expenses, the balance is profit that has no expense attached to it. The second approach to this business model achieves this. Once customers understand your approach and business overall, the business is yours to lose.  

There is a call to action on the business horizon that should not be ignored, but embraced. The potential to achieve huge profits sits at the door step for those who have an e-Commerce business or are thinking of starting one.

$100,000 from 10 customers? Can it Be True?

Obviously that level of income from such a small number of customers *may* seem a little unbelievable at first and to begin with I was a little dubious as well.

However, when I discovered that this strategy had been created by Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey, (two guys well known  for their high

quality material and innovative ideas), it suddenly caught my attention, especially when I learned that scaled up, the numbers stack up like this:

5 customers = $50,000 10 customers = $100,000 50 customers = $500,000 100 customers = $1,000,000

This is a VERY unusual type of online business, one that I had not previously thought of… and if you’re short of time be VERY sure to watch this short video because when you see the specific details, you’ll quickly understand how and why this really works:

What’s even more facinating is that in order to do this yourself, you don’t need any previous experience with internet marketing (you learn as you go along) and they will give also you absolutely everything you need to get started. Frankly, the FACTS speak for themselves…

– There is a huge market demand for this. – The ecomomic downturn actually BENEFITS this type of business. – You dont need to be an expert in Pay Per Click or Search Engine Optimization. – You don’t need any addtional investment. – Between 5 to 10 customers will create a six

figure income and allow you to quit your job. This is conclusive proof that the potential here is extraordinary and I highly recommend that you check out this video as soon as possible:
