What is the best internet business opportunity for me ? Is this sounds like a question you ask? This is the frequently asked question from my new subscribers. Most of them are new to the internet marketing.
It is a normal question for the newbies. But can we answers this question. “NO”, I have to say I dont know because the subscribers are not my near and dears and I have no knowledge about your skill sets especially your knowledge, your dedication, style, available spare time and the last but not the least “Your FOCUS levels”.
The reason for my emphasis on focus is “deliberate”. This is the area which most people lose control , not because they can’t focus but the circumstances makes them to do so. (This can be a separate post by themselves!)
But instead of saying a direct answer to the question, I can give some guidelines for successful Internet business
1. Create a website / blog based on your passion – This is following your passion (Making money will be part of this)
2. Create a website / blog to earn money – This is following the money.
Lets see each one briefly:
Following your passion
If you’re promoting and selling your passion, then it’s much easier for you to create high value content and products and pass that along in such an enthusiastic and decisive way that it automatically will show your expertise! This is the best way to earn online since people expect solutions from the expert.
Once established as an expert, you use that status to build a strong relationship with your prospects. Use your knowledge to help them as much as you can. The point is, all things being equal, people prefer to buy from a friend, rather than a stranger.
BUT, the big thing here to remember is the demand. Is your passion have enough demand in the market. If yes there will not be a problem in creating the product and marketing it. But if there is no demand and you wait for the customer to roll in – believe me you get frustrated and ultimately quit.
So market research is the most improtant thing for your success. This is can be termed as keyword research in internet world.
Following the money :
Your aim is here is to make money by grabing your share of pie. Here too market research is very important. You promote only product which are demand and people are buying.
The big problem with this approach is you might not have knowledge in this field. Knowledge is more important to create content. You would have heard “Content is the King” in the kingdom of internet. If you are not able to provide good quality and unique content, there is no significant monetary gains.
The alternative way to create content is outsourcing all the thing required. But this approach is costly and your breakeven period is uncertain.
So either way you have to decide on the course of action depends on your circumstances. Whatever your approach is “Taking Action” is more vital than any thing.
All the best on your best internet business opportunities.
Have you decided your strategy to follow?
Let me know here.
Most frequent question with the newbies is what to take between the short term or long term. I am sure as newbie you have already wandering around the net and have seen some marketing for the short term profits and some advice on long term.
You gather information day to day and finally sitting confused. Which is the right way to go?
Relax my friend. I will try to make you clear. Let see what is short term, Long term and its pros and cons
Short term profits in internet marketing are a sudden burst of sites (ready made sites) and dropping some adsense and affiliate programmes in it. People who always teach short term teaches more of adsense sites. You may or may not aware pure adsense sites has got hit long back. Google doesn’t want junk sites which is of no use to the end users.
People who advocates this concept talks about volume, more sites more money. They even go to the extent of saying register the domain for one year and dump it after a year.
What is the final effect on this? You may earn some on this with little effort. Little effort because you have readily available site builders which creates thousands of pages on a click of button with junk content or recycle content. One day you will find that your site is banned by the search engines and do not have any visitors.
In short this concept is like building your house on the sand. No foundation and expect the worst any moment. If you lose the site all your work is gone. You have to start from scratch.
Long term stategy is similar to the above, in the sense you create a site on a niche. The difference is like building a proper house. You do your foundation strong, select the design, front view, color, number of rooms, garden, fitting and fixtures etc.
Similarly you buy a proper site builder, design your site on your own, arrange for a good site header, write articles or outsource it, do keyword research, drop some good images, at the end blend google adsense and affilate program. The main difference is you do everything on your liking, you do a proper site with value. The visitors who visits your site will have value. They become interested on you views and buy the products you suggest. This may take some time but the business is rock solid and improves day by day.
By doing this you can have three or four sites in a year. If you are thinking about the volume stop. You are focused on quality and value not volume here. When you focus on quality and value -Â less is more.
This is the method I strongly believe and advocate. This can be taken as a real serious business. Develop and grow with it.
More detailed on this in future post.
