Your Business Online

If you are like me, and love your business, you certainly
want to grow it to
be as successful as possible. Whatever product or service you offer, wouldn't
you be willing to nurture it through the number one way to market—the
Internet? Especially if you realized all the benefits?
You want to market Online because:
1. It's highly profitable.
You can quadruple your profits in just four months using
e-commerce. Your
Internet marketing coach, brand new to the net three years ago, built
her sales
from $75 to $3000 plus in eight months.
2. It's a guarantee that you will be well
known as the expert in your field.
Getting targeted traffic to your site through submitting articles to top
Web
sites can connect your name and URL with over 900 Web sites in less than
a
year. And it's all free publicity for you and your business.
3. It's less trouble.
You don't have to be a polished presenter to market your
product effectively
online. While speaking to groups in person does give you instant credibility,
it takes a great deal of preparation time for your talk, your materials,
and
your wardrobe. At your computer nobody cares if you're in your jeans and
tee shirt. You don't have to run to the copy shop or printers. Your talk
translates easily into a short article. It's far easier to write a how-to
article that you can edit several times at your leisure, and send it immediately
to over 400,000 opt-in ezines in many categories on the Web by just clicking
a button.
4. It's non-threatening to the less brazen
promoter.
You don't have to "sell" your product. Over
the Internet, you won't meet
sales resistance or rejection face-to-face. Even if you are good in public
situations and can present yourself clearly and confidently, it's far
easier to
pitch yourself through the printed word.
People Online are ready customers when they find you.
As your target market,
they want useful information, and appreciate the instant delivery of your
product as well as the ease of ordering it Online.
5. It's so convenient.
You don't have to schlep your product around with you.
You don't have to keep
track of inventory. You don't have to travel or find convenient parking.
When
you sell eProducts such as eBooks or eSpecial reports you don't have to
wrap,
stamp, or mail them.
6. It's less time investment.
Online marketing saves you time because you can do it
all from one location.
Attending meetings or giving presentations take prep,
driving in traffic, and
several hours out of your day. You may not make a sale for months. At
your
computer, your messages shoot out to thousands instantly, allowing you
to make sales every day, and you haven't even had to put on panty hose!
7. It's much less money.
You can start your business with little capital. Most
Online business
locations are at home. Web sites have become our office. Compare the costs
to maintaining an office to maintaining your site. Instead of thousands
of dollars a month, it's only hundreds. Most e-commerce methods are free.
You can hire a virtual computer assistant from a local tech or high school
for a reasonable fee, that more than pays for your increased sales.
8. It's vast with endless possibilities.
While you may not be a millionaire right away, it's probable,
that in time,
you could be one. The World-Wide Web audience awaits your unique creation
and creativity. You'll meet and network with other savvy entrepreneurs,
learn from their ezines and free content-filled Web sites in your field.
Your targeted
Web visitor is ready to buy every day. Even with a modest time investment
such as 3-6 hours a week, you'll reap vast rewards.
9. It's supportive of the entrepreneur.
You can exchange information, ideas and find mentors and
other qualified
professionals to assist you in your online adventure. People are so friendly
online.
10. It's a grand adventure.
You meet wonderful people from all over the world, who
want to know you, and even buy from you. Just remember, like a garden,
a new online business venture takes time to be planted, watered, and nourished,
weeded and ultimately harvested. Don't give up too soon. Stay patient
and enjoy the process and profits.
