How To Start An Online Business And Make Money From The Internet

Are you thinking about starting an online or internet marketing business but don't know where to start? Do you know what a squeeze page or an autoresponder are? Find all the answers here! You too can get a great online income.

So you are looking at creating an online business but don’t know where to start.  What do I need? What do I do? Where do I find it?

There are already many opportunities online, with many additional new ones coming at you every day. The market is already massive, and yet I heard recently that there are still 1.5 million new people coming online every day! That’s about 45 million potential new customers for you every month! What other market can offer these kind of figures?   So first of all you need to try and get a slice of this market, and build up your customer database. For internet marketing, the only information you really need to get from your customers are a contact name and an email address. With these details, you can then set about marketing your products to them. 

Sounds easy? Well, yes, it is fairly simple, but like any new business, there is a learning curve to ramp up, and perseverance will be one of the major factors which will determine your success.  For your initial set up, you will need a product to sell, a web site landing page, and an autoresponder.

Your product can be absolutely anything you can imagine, so that is up to you to decide what it is that you want to sell. You will see many sites selling information or training products, as they are relatively cheap and easy to produce, and can be stored online, thereby avoiding any storage or stock costs as in a traditional business. Other popular physical products are things like health supplements and slimming products, but these will require the purchase and storage of stock.   Once you have decided on your product, you can then start to market it.

So how do you go about collecting a list of interested people?

For this, you will need a landing page (sometimes called a squeeze page), which is designed to capture your potential new customers. I tend to go for a simple, clean approach with my landing pages, with just enough information on them to encourage the viewer to want more. You can either produce this yourself using one of the many free or paid packages available, or have it produced for you. Again, I prefer to have control over my business, so tend to try and do the majority of these things myself, and it is also much more flexible if you then need to do any changes to your site. On your landing page will be your autoresponder box for the visitor to enter their name and email address, which will then either lead to a further site giving them more information, or will enable them to download additional information on your product.  Now that you have captured their details, your autoresponder can start to kick in and work for you.

There are free autoresponders available, but I would recommend using Aweber, which is a paid service, as this is renowned as the industry leader, and offers stability and flexibility for your all important customer database. After all, you don’t want to lose your list, once you have built it up, do you?

The purpose of your autoresponder is to feed messages out to your new contact every few days, to try to establish a bond or relationship with them, as it has been proven that people buy from people that they like and trust.

Once you have set up the messages in your autoresponder, it works for you automatically, so that as soon as a lead comes in, the process starts and they receive a series of emails from you over a set period of time.

So there it is. Your online business is up and running, all you need to do now is to direct traffic to your web site, and you will soon have a successful online business!  

Starting An Online Business - Do You Believe It’s Possible?

Having the right mindset is crucial in whatever you do.

Wow, what a wide ranging question! It can of course relate to just about anything in life, but I particularly want to relate it to starting an online business.  A lot of what we do is affected by our mindset, how we feel about things. It is no different when we are thinking about a new business venture. You do the research, talk to people about it, find out as much as you can about it, but if then you don’t believe it will work, it probably never will. I believe it was Henry Ford who once said “whether a man thinks he can or he can’t, he is usually right.”

When you start a new business, you need to believe that it will work, and keep that belief with you right throughout your journey. As with anything new, it takes time to master. If anyone has found the perfect business which immediately brings in thousands of dollars on day one with no effort required, please let me know, as I’m pretty sure it doesn’t exist!  As with any new business, you have to build it up step by step, putting in the effort on a daily basis, so that gradually, over time, you build up the different layers needed to make your business successful. It is easy to stop believing, to say that this system doesn’t work, if it seems very slow at first. Many people will give up at this point, as they lose their belief., but if you are following a proven system, with lots of successful people using it, stick with it, BELIEVE and it will work! Perseverance will always pay dividends in business.

And there, I think is the key. If you have chosen a business model that has proven success, such as My Net Biz, then invariably, if you follow the instructions given, put the work in, and speak to your mentor when you get stuck to get you going again, it will work. You just have to stick with it and not find your own excuses as to why you can’t succeed. The mind is a very powerful tool, and needs to be directed in a positive manner.

So in answer to the original question, YES, you do have to believe it’s possible, to succeed!
