Success Is More Than A Word
by: Timothy Hagen

I'm often asked, what is the secret to online success? Before I answer that question, let me ask you back a simple question... Is there a secret to any success?

I've been working on Internet-based business since December 1998, so I have seen almost the entire history of this industry. I have seen what works and what doesn't. Now I'm going to give you a brief guide to what works...

Hard Work Is A Must.

As far as I know, it is not a secret that hard work is the key to succeeding in almost anything. We, humans, are just too lazy to even realize that simple key of fortunes.

It's true what they say: the Web levels the playing field. A high school student can make a better website than a large industrial company. This is a fact. On a level playing field, how big you are matters less than how hard you work.

There are millions of consumers out there, but lots of other websites are competing for their attention. So you can't just build an online business and walk away from it. You have to work hard to draw visitors to your site, work hard to create a site that those visitors want to buy from, and work hard to give those buyers or clients such good service that they and their friends will buy again in the future.

So the bad news is that starting a business on the Internet is just like starting any other business: work, work, work. The good news is that it is a lot cheaper than ever.

The web gives you something that has never existed before in history: an inexpensive sales channel direct to consumers. Before the age of web, if you wanted to sell direct to consumers, you either had to build retail stores or do catalog mailings. In either case the start-up fee is hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars.

On the web, you can sell direct to consumers worldwide for thousands of dollars everyday. You have to work hard to exploit this opportunity. But if you are willing to work hard, you don't need a lot of money to get started.

Choose the Right Niche.

What sells online? That is probably the question we get asked most. At the risk of being repetitive, what sells online is work. In our experience, the difference in success between one site and another depends a lot more on how hard they work than on what they are selling.

I know of two stores, Store A and Store B, that are selling exactly the same products. Store A sells five times as much as Store B. The reason is, Store A works a lot harder. They work on their site almost every day, and they also do more to promote it.

But although work is the decisive factor, what you sell matters too. As a general rule, whatever sells in print catalogs will also sell on the Internet. If the customer has to touch or feel something before buying it, then you probably can't sell it in a print catalog or online. Otherwise, you should be able to sell almost anything. Yes, anything.

It's true that more men use the Internet now than women, so if you sell something that men buy, you are likely to have a slight edge. Someone who works with computers is almost certain to have Web access, so anything computer-related is likely to do comparatively well. And Internet users are richer and better educated than the population as a whole, so luxury items may do well.

But these trends are not set in stone. When televisions first became available, the first buyers were probably richer and more technologically inclined than the population as a whole. But TV rapidly became mainstream, and the same thing is happening to the internet.

More important than the type of products you sell is the size of the niche you choose.
In the physical world, niches are based on geography. I often buy food at the corner store near my house, despite the small selection and high prices. If this store were more than 100 yards away, I would never buy anything there.

Not on the Internet. Geography is almost irrelevant on the Internet. Niches on the Internet are based on what you sell, not where you are. And whatever you sell, you have to be the place to buy it, because your customers can just as easily visit any other online store with a single click on their mouse.

Make Your Site Easy.

It is no accident that the people who visit your site are called "web-surfers". They have the same short attention span as TV "channel surfers". The average visitor to a Web site looks at only three or four pages before going somewhere else. Your visitors will leave at the slightest obstacle. Trust me.
If you want people to visit and order from your site, don't put any obstacles in their way. The design of your site has to tell them immediately where they are, and what their choices are.

Whatever you do, don't make your visitors to think..."What next?"...

When they do, you're done.

Also, most major sites have learned not to use frames. Frames are a lot more gratifying to the site designer than the visitor. To visitors, frames are merely confusing. Another big disadvantage of frames: many search engines don't index sites that use frames. So using frames will decrease the amount of traffic you get from search engines.

None of the most heavily visited sites use frames. In fact, the more important the site, the simpler the design. Look at what is probably the most important site on the web, Yahoo! There are no bells and whistles to distract you. The design of the site is so simple that you get it at a glance.
Just make your visitors comfortable, then you will realize that success is more than a word.

Top 5 Benefits of Having a Home Based Business

Top 5 Benefits of Having a Home Based Business
by: John Jarvis

1. The first and foremost major benefit of having your own home based business during the first two to three years is the income tax savings involved. An average family of 4 with 2 teenage children normally save in the area of $2,000 to $5,000 each year.

There is a possibility that you could save much more than $5,000, it all depends on your gross family income. This is all tax free savings and will put this much cash in your pocket come next year at income tax time!

2. Another major benefit is the personal freedom involved. If you need more money, you simply work harder.

3. Time Freedom. What is the most important aspect of life, after health of course? In my opinion...it is time. All the money in the world is no good to you unless you have time to spend with your loved ones. Most people in the corporate world that are six figure income earners would be happy to take a pay cut in order to spend more time with their friends and families.

4. Less Stress. Being your own boss has it's advantages. If you don't produce, the only person suffering is yourself. There is no-one looking over your shoulder all day and expecting more from you than you can give.

5. The End Result. Instead of your personal creativity putting cash in the pockets of others, you are keeping the "fruits of your own labor".

In summary, if you don't have a home based business of your own you are giving time and money away to others. Can you really afford to do this?

The Get Rich Quick Mentality

The Get Rich Quick Mentality
by: Alan LeStourgeon

Building any kind of business takes time, money, energy and focus. Obviously some businesses take more or less of each ingredient. Internet businesses are no different than a traditional brick and mortar business, except for the fact that they can cost substantially less to get started. That's why they are so attractive to a lot of people.

For some reason however, the internet is fill with get rich quick schemes and scams and all though many are not schemes or scams, they just don't work. With that said, there is a whole segment of internet entrepreneurs that want to make as much money as they can as fast as they can.

As if you haven't noticed, the get rich quick mentality is rampant on the net, and it's getting worse everyday. There is a vicious cycle that just seems to perpetuate itself and I'm not sure which came first, the hucksters or the prospectors. In other words, the people selling get rich quick or the people searching for it. It seems as though there are opportunity seekers out there who are asking to be scammed.

What has perpetuated this kind of thinking is a lack of vision in the internet businessperson. It doesn't matter what kind of business you are involved in, you have to take the time to do the necessary work to make your business successful. Sure, lots of people are able to make decent sums of money rather quickly on the net, but these kinds of businesses won't last. In a few months, many of the people that are getting rich quick today, will be on to something else because they were only able to make money for a limited amount of time with their latest deal.

Wouldn't you rather have a business that you can build on, that you can make grow and that will last for a long time and produce income for years for you and your family instead of having to rebuild your income every year? This is the most important point I am going to make in this article - You absolutely must take the time to build your business correctly on the net or you will never make a substantial amount of money for the log run.

The opportunities on the net are limitless and more and more people are shopping online every year however, you can't just throw up a few pages of meaningless content and expect to get ranked at the search engines and start making gobs of money, even though there is lots to be made.

Anyone with a brick and mortar business will tell you that they usually don't make any money for the first 2 to 5 years in their business. So how does this timetable translate for an internet business?

Some people think they are going to put up a web site or blog and start making money in a month or a few weeks. I'm sorry to tell you, that just isn't going to happen. Depending on the kind of business you are focusing on expect to put in 6 months to 1 year of seriously hard work before you see any substantial results in your web venture.

Also, you need to become a student of your business and internet marketing in general to make sure your business succeeds. When I was working as a graphic artist, I spent a few thousand dollars a year going to seminars in the graphics industry, I subscribed to magazines and I was always hanging out in the local book store reading the latest books about photography, PhotoShop or graphic arts in general. This was all at my own personal expense because I wanted to be the best graphic artist I could be. You need to treat your net business the same.

There are people who want to be in business for themselves on the net but somewhere they get the idea that all the information they need to get started should be free. They are afraid to spend a dime to learn the correct way to build a web business or they want someone to do all the work for them by giving them unlimited free advice.

You will have a profitable net business only if you invest in it with your time, money for the necessary tools, work and education. There are thousands of get rich quick deals out there clogging up search engines waiting to take people's money. Do yourself and the rest of us a favor, don't add another one to the mix. Start a real business on the net, instead of just trying to get rich quick.
