Selling Hard Goods Online:
Thinking about selling online?
Every year more and more customers are shopping online. A large segment of online shoppers shop almost exclusively online. If done right, you could end up with a very "pleasant" problem. I'll explain a little later.
But before you go rushing off to find the cheapest, quickest hosting and website builder you can find, there's something you should be very clear about...
Most small business websites end up becoming little more than an expensive internet brochure. Insufficient traffic to support a one man business. Let's face it folks, it takes a steady stream of hundreds to thousands of visitors a day to make serious online income.
How do you avoid becoming another rock on the heap of quick, cheap websites that become expensive oline brochures?
The secret is there is no secret. You need the right tools, process, software and help. The rest is your own brains and motivation.
And oh, about that "pleasant" problem you'd love to have as an online marketer of hard goods...

Can Anyone Make Money Online?
Or Is It Out Of Reach For The Average Person...
There are many people who will testify to having attempted to start an online business. They either had something they created which they wanted to sell online, joined an MLM and wanted to grow their organization using online resources, or they have an existing traditional business, also known as "off-line businesses," and wish to expand their customer base online. Ninety-Nine percent of them fail. Is it because they didn't have enough capital to invest? The economy? Or is it due to the fact that only the extremely talented or already wealthy can succeed online? Is the average person doomed to failure for even trying?
The truth is, anyone, even someone with no prior marketing or sales experience can succeed online.
How?
Self Discovery
No, I don't mean any new age transcendental, self talk mumbo-jumbo! I mean discovering what it is about you that other people can benefit from. Upon self examination of your skill-set, experience, talent, knowledge and even hobbies you may discover something that a whole ton of people would love to know.
People are making money online on everything from e-books to exotic animals. It's all about educating yourself. You must know if your potential audience is large enough to drive a real business. You must also be aware that a market (audience) may be to large to tackle.
A Quick Education
If you've tried to succeed online but still don't know the "secret," relax. there is no real "secret." Those who provide real and valuable products and services to the home-based internet marketer aren't afraid to tell you exactly how they do it.
One of those people is Ken Evoy. He is the owner of SiteSell Services. He is always available to answer questions from people who are looking for answers and assistance in moving their businesses forward on the internet. Ken and his company provide so much information on how to succeed online that you could practically do it all on your own after absorbing it all.
So yes, anyone can make money online but it does take a certain amount and type of know-how. It also makes a difference what it is that you are marketing online. It requires developing skill-sets that you currently do not possess.
The question becomes, what are YOU bringing to the table? Unless you seek out and find the "right" people to help you, you will need a full university education in marketing to succeed online plus all of the technical know-how and hardware to go it all alone.
With great people and companies like Ken Evoy and SiteSell Services all you need to bring to the table is your brains and motivation. They can do the rest.

Getting Found On The Internet: How To Attract Your Target Market On A Limited Budget
Getting found on the internet and attracting people who are actively looking for whatever it is your business offers is a supreme challenge for at least 97% of all small businesses whether they blog, build a website or both. If you are doing neither, you are not a serious internet business. And if you think that beautiful website provided by your company is going to attract your target market, forget it! Those websites brand your COMPANY, not you. Plus, search engines ignore sites that are replicated (Duplicate sites with the only difference being the affiliate code in the link) The "secret" to getting found by your "target market" lies in one simple concept:
Give your future customers great information, advice, instructions, etc. using your own expertise, experience, skills, etc., at your website or blog. They will thank you for it and the three factors mentioned above will be present sufficiently to allow you to suggest they visit your sales site to purchase or join. In most instances, a lead will be generated by the prospect initiating contact for questions or more information.
In internet marketing, providing this is information which is tailored to your target market is known as providing "content."
The quality and quantity of your "content" will determine the quality and quantity of FREE search engine traffic you attract.
Who or what determines you content's quality? Search engines do with their super secret algorithms. And of course, the ultimate judge of your content... your visitors.
According to Ken Evoy of SiteSell services, Inc., quality content "pre-sells" the traffic it attracts rather than try to sell visitors which is a big turn-off. This pre-selling content allows the visitor to feel that you know what you're talking about and are not trying to "sell" them, you have their best interest at heart, and so they like you.
At SiteSell Services this process of creating valuable and relevant content, which then attracts search engine traffic, which then pre-sells that traffic and then montetizes that traffic by redirecting it to a sales page is known as CTPM. CONTENT => TRAFFIC => PRE-SELL=> MONETIZE.
Why does it work? Because it works hand-in-hand with the way people naturally use the internet! It's that simple. Not easy, but simple. It does take work to create quality relevant content. It takes work to research your target market and determine their wants and needs.
If you are willing to work hard and create real value on the net, learn more about CTPM and how it can help YOUR business.

Give Them What They are Looking For!!!
That's a little too simplified. Perhaps it would be good to review a couple of terms used above in the introduction. One term used above is "target." In the context of internet marketing, all of your marketing communications must speak to the needs, wants, desires, fears, aggravations, frustrations, etc., of those who want or need what you offer.
Another term used above is "attracting." It seems self-explanatory but then why are 97% of online businesses unsuccessful at "attracting" enough targeted visitors their websites or blogs? Attracting the "right" people to your website or blog is more important than how many people you attract. More importantly, if you are on a very limited budget, search engines still provide you with the most opportunity for free targeted traffic that can generate an impressive online income.
But the question remains...
Who Are The People Looking Online For What I Offer And What (If not to buy my product, service or opportunity) Are They Looking For???
Want the truth? People go online for one basic thing - Information! Now that requires a little more explanation. Even if they are just on FaceBook, people are looking for information about their friends - what they're doing, events, etc.. Search engines, the best and FREE source of targeted traffic are where you future customers are... Meet them where THEY start... SEARCH ENGINES!
What people are definitely NOT looking for (Once they've found you in the search engines), is to be sold something... At least not until three psychological factors have been satsified in their mind...
- Before they will buy from you they must feel they KNOW you
- They must LIKE you
- They must TRUST you
Give your future customers great information, advice, instructions, etc. using your own expertise, experience, skills, etc., at your website or blog. They will thank you for it and the three factors mentioned above will be present sufficiently to allow you to suggest they visit your sales site to purchase or join. In most instances, a lead will be generated by the prospect initiating contact for questions or more information.

How Do You Spell "Freedom?" The Special Prize Inside SBI! 2.0
However you spell or define "Freedom," it's what's inside every SBI! 2.0 account and it's yours for the taking.
Click on the image below to see a visual metaphor for whatever you envision freedom to be for you.
You see, the way SBI! 2.0 is packaged, the impending result of finally living life the way you think it should be for you is ready and waiting for you if you're willing to do the work necessary to make it manifest in your "outside" world.
Many are ready willing and able to do the work necessary to succeed and make money online. The problem arises when you become unsure of yourself.
You begin to wonder if this guru or that guru has the best answer for you.
You begin to wonder how much more time and money you have to spend before you have the entire picture, sufficient enough to at least make a consistent profit month to month.
When you are doing what you already love every day and you are generating a nice income from it like clockwork month to month, you naturally are more free.
"Nothing happens until something moves." Albert Einstein
Move! Now! Today!
Get more information (There's tons of it and it's all FREE!) at SBI! 2.0.
Just click on the image below and open up a world of information about online business that you'll find very thorough, honest and suprisingly generous.
Why does SBI! just "give" you all the goods on internet marketing without you having to "opt-in" or buy anything?
Simple.
They, like every so-called guru on the internet selling the GRQ [Get-Rich-Quick] stuff on the net), know that with that even with that knowledge you still need certain "tools, software and process" to finish the job. Click on the image below:
And they have put it all together in one e-business system that is packaged to make your online experience very methodical, focused and less expensive than trying to emulate every new guru who says he/she can lead you to the promised land. When you know your hard work is leading to a profitable outcome you tend to be willing to go that extra mile.
Questions?
Comments?
I welcome comments, even criticism, to help me make more free information available to determined internet marketers who are willing to take a realistic look at their chances for success online and how to increase those chances dramatically.
Believe me, when you know the rules of the game, you'll find most gurus are just "that old man" behind the curtain in the movie, "The Wizard Of Oz."

Attracting Readers And Followers To Your Blog Using "Targeted" Content
The secret to attracting readers and followers to your blog, or web site or any other site is to have a comprehensive, deep understanding of your "target" market or target audience if your blog is not business oriented.
But knowing this profound secret will not be enough in itself. Once that target market is identified, qualified and quantified, you must give to it first. The principle of giving before you receive is very true on the internet. And what is it that you're supposed to be giving?
Quality Relevant Content
Content that gives the reader or search engine user the information they are seeking in a clear and concise way is what keeps visitors engaged at your site and keeps them returning. If your content seems too "salesy" you will lose many potential followers.
Targeting The Right Market...
A target market must be thoroughly researched before you invest time and money promoting to it.
Choose a market that's too small and you'll never make money on it no matter how much of it you dominate.
Choose a market that's too big and you'll find yourself in competition for traffic with large, well known Corporations.
Use Decision-Making Software To Identify Your Most Profitable Markets Or "NIche"
"The process [SBI!] uses is based upon a classic decision-making model that we all use intuitively for easy questions or problems (ex., "Do I?" or "Don't I?" with columns of "pros" and "cons"). But that process breaks down for more complicated decisions, such as choosing the best Site Concept for your Theme-Based Content Site."

Comparing Small Business Web Hosts To SBI!
If you compare SBI!'s e-business building system with other small business web hosting services, you will find striking differences.
Typical old-fashioned web hosting is just that... web hosting. What makes SBI! so superior? Because they go a lot further than just hosting. They help you build a real and profitable online business by providing you with all the training, tools and services under one roof.
As an internet marketer, these services and tools are needed in your business daily. If you were to go out and shop for these services separately, you would be spending hundreds of dollars per month. This saves you a significant amount of money to run your business.
Ken Evoy, the owner and founder of SBI! has put together an eye-opening comparison of SBI! and other typical but well-known small business web hosting services.

Small Business Web Hosting: Comparing SBI! To "Old-Fashioned" Small Business Hosting Solutions
"Web hosting" is only one element in a "total package" offered by SBI! (Also known as SiteBuilIt!). So, it's really not fair to compare SBI! small business web hosting to traditional, old-fashioned small business hosting solutions.
Nevertheless, when a small business is looking for a practical solution to establishing a profitable online presence, you will see comparisons among "cheap" domain hosting or "free" website hosting, but you will rarely find any of them compare themselves to SBI!. You see, if you do a little Google research on small business web hosting you will see many sites comparing one web host to others and vice versa. What you will very rarely see is a comparison to SBI!! Why?
Now since I'm an affiliate representing SBI!, I obviously already have an opinion. Hopefully, you've reserved yours until you see what I have to show you.
The reason you won't see SBI! in most of these comparisons is because IT DOESN'T COMPARE! How can you compare one company who boasts of it's "99% up-time" and unlimited bandwidth, or "FREE!" with a company that can document the success of a large percentage of it's clients?
Ok. So what makes SBI! so special? HOW does SBI!' achieve such a high success rate with it's clients?
I am also a client so I can tell you first hand. It's because they are NOT just a small business web host company, they are a small business online success system.
SBI! includes web hosting as only a part of a comprehensive business building system as opposed to a company offering basic web hosting that includes a few tools like a site builder, email, forwarding, domain parking, etc.,.
Even if you get "free" hosting, it ends up costing you more when you realize all the tools you need to market online such as seo, autoresponders, copywriting, html, etc.(Which you get with SBI!) Not to mention the time you spend going nowhere. Besides, is that the image you want for your business? Many of the "free" hosting services do not allow you to control advertising on your site. They put the ads up and they make the money.
Or even worse, your business takes off and just when you're on cloud nine, your "free" hosting service let's you down. Think it doesn't happen?
I strongly recommend that you educate yourself thoroughly before you spend any more money or time on small business web hosting solutions.
So what I'd like to show you is a real "head-to-head" comparison of real well known web hosting services and SBI!.
Use the link below to see SBI! compared to what many consider to be the "best" web hosting solutions available for small businesses.

You're Not (Really) In Business Without Your Own Domain Name And Web Hosting
Many beginners think they have an online business because they signed up and were given affiliate urls. Nothing could be further from the truth! Unless you have YOUR OWN domain name and web hosting, you're not really in business.
Online, it is crucial to establish trust and a unique name for your business. When you establish a unique business name and easy to use web hosting, you prove to yourself that you are serious about your online business. Most importantly, you send that same message to your potential customers.
You need to establish an online presence. But if you are thinking of using unreliable and unprofessional "free" website hosting resources, this could very well ensure that your business never gets off the ground. Actually, something worse may happen. Your online business does get off the ground. That's when you find out that these unprofessional resources may fail you when you need them most.
So, what exactly should you be looking for?
If you are a beginner, don't just settle for a plain old hosting service. You can put your online business on the fast track by using a web host that already provides all the tools you need to run an online business for you.
You see, to run an online business successfully, you need more than just a reliable home for your website.
Just like in the brick and mortar world, one of the most important aspects of successfully running a business on the internet, is the ability to find leads and customers. You also need to grow your customer base and develop a convenient and effective way to stay in contact with them.
Here's what you need to do...
So, your first step would be to find the perfect domain name for your business. Preferably you should get a .com, one that describes your business while also being search engine friendly.
Your next step is to find an easy to use web host that gives you not only hosting space with 99.98 uptime, but also the tools and support you need to get your business off to a running start. Keeping all the key activities in your business nicely together in one place, instead of having to switch from one tool or service to the next all the time will help greatly to help you focus on what matters most, your business
Once you have your own domain and hosting company that provides everything you need to actively grow your business, you're well on your way.

Amazing Video About Internet Marketing And Overcoming Adversity...
I had a chance to see this amazing video about Jeremy Shoemaker and his ShoeMoney System and I was immediately impressed with the content of his "sales" video. It wasn't so much what he said in the video, but at the site, if you are willing to "opt-in" with your name and email, you can gain access to TONS OF FREE ONLINE MONEY-MAKING TRAINING!"
What was so impressive about Jeremy is is "realness". He's someone who's where you(and me) are trying to get to, but he's got a "spoonful of medicine" for you to swallow if you are determined to make money online.
There are going to be challenges. This you can bet. But at the same time, Jeremy tells you in the video that you will be surprised when you see how easy it is to make money online.
The video is about overcoming adversity but there's much, much more.
If you've ever wondered what internet marketing can do for you and your life... well, just go watch the video.

"Acres Of Diamonds..." Looking For A Home Business Opportunity? Where To Start...
Before the internet came along, people were thinking about starting a home business. With the advent of the net, there is still a desire of most Americans to start their own home-based business.
But even back in ancient times, people were always looking for opportunity to earn more wealth. But back then, it was more than a thought or an option. It was a necessity. If you did not have "value" to exchange for something you needed, you went hungry.
One of the biggest mistakes made in business, even thousands of years ago, can benefit us today.
In the story originally told by Russell Conwell, "Acres Of Diamonds," you will learn one of the most valuable lessons you could ever learn if you're thinking about starting a home business.
Read the full story here > Acres Of Diamonds(mp3 audio version available)
If you are thinking about starting a home business, a GREAT home business, you must start where you are...
I know that sounds cliche, that's why I'm sure that if you read or listen to this story about a farmer who sold his land for no profit to go and search for riches, made the biggest mistake of his life!
Don't YOU make this mistake. Don't live a life of regrets. Start with where you are and what you are... now.

Why You Should Start A Home Business... Now!
Starting a home business has always been a great option. A way to supplement your income from your job, maybe even eventually entirely replace your job income and become a full time entrepreneur.
Many have found that it is not a bed of roses and there are many sacrifices required. It could take years of trial and error before one realizes significant income. Bottom line, there are no guarantees.
These days, one must carefully consider whether or not to start or grow a traditional "offline" business with government becoming more and more intrusive and confiscatory. New regulations, new taxes and other pressures make most traditional business start-ups or expansions rather risky.
Starting A Home Business: The Upside And The Downside...
For many, starting a home business is the best option. Stay at home spouses, retirees, downsized and out-sized, etc..
But the work at home industry is fraught with dead-end jobs get-rich-quick schemes. Any opportunity being considered must be carefully evaluated. Any opportunity that promises quick rewards for doing practically nothing is almost always fraudulent. Think about it. If it is so easy, why do they need you?
Another thing to consider is that anything of real value, like a profitable home business, takes work. It takes time to build something real.
But here's the upside!
There has never been a better time to start a home business., The internet makes a business from home "doable" with minimal cost while the potential is almost limitless.
And you should stay away from those typical "work-at-home" jobs, which are go nowhere, tedious and dubious at best. Things like envelope stuffing, mailings and telemarketing are not what we're talking about here.
We're talking about working from home on the internet to provide useful and valuable goods and services.
THE most IMPORTANT reason to start a home business... NOW!
Most recent polls show that up to 72% of ALL Americans are thinking of starting a home business. By being one of the first, you gain a great advantage.
More and more people are replacing their J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) and are marketing goods and services on the net from home, and doing VERY well, thank you!
There will likely come a time, and it could come very soon, when each and every one of us is faced with losing our jobs.
By starting a home business on the internet, you can't help but gain a certain set of skills needed to succeed. Once you learn these skills, no recession, depression or job loss can stop you because YOU become a valuable commodity.
And that is the most important reason to start a home business on the net... YOU become more valuable to the marketplace.
The Return On Investment?.... Priceless!

Should You Build A Website Or Blog?
Ok... you know to build a business on the internet, whether a brand new business or an existing "off-line" business, you need some internet "real estate."
Internet real estate is any place on the internet where information about you or created by you can be found by you or others. Obviously, the more real estate you own the easier it is to find you on the net.
The other thing about internet marketing that you probably are already aware of is the need to generate enough "traffic" to your internet real estate to support at least one person (You!) with income.
Some people swear by blogging, others say building a website is the best way for most businesses to build a long-term, profitable and professional presence on the net. Still others tell you that social marketing is the best way to start an internet business.
Before you invest a lot of time and money in your internet venture it would be smart and necessary to determine the most appropriate platform from which to launch. Right?
The answer is...
It depends.
It depends on what type of business you are operating.
And the bottom line... is that for most businesses, blogging has not produced any business growth or income for most who have tried or are using it currently.
While there are some exceptions, businesses need a website that serves the people who are their;
1. Target market
2. Possible customers who are actively searching the net for information indicating an impending "buying" decision.
Think about it...
When you do a search for information, do get a lot of blogs in your top results from the search engine?
If someone is searching for information about great vacation spots, the information about a particular spot may be buried in an entry made a year ago!
The way a good website is arranged, visitors can find the information they are particularly interested in much easier.
For more information on whether YOUR business should blog or build a website read the article linked to below...
Blog or build? You Can Actually Do Both Automatically...

Why Most People Quit ... Before They Get Started
Most people who start a new business on the internet quit before they have really started.
While there may be varying reason for each individual, the majority of those who join a network marketing company, affiliate program or attempt to market a product or service on the net soon begin to realize that this internet thing is not as easy as they thought.
Many are initially lured by promises of easy, cheap and quick wealth. So their motivation for doing what they're doing is money. Nothing wrong with that ... in itself. But if that is the only motivation, most people don't have the drive to keep going and keep learning. Especially, when they find that the "quick and easy" wealth is hyperbole.
The most important thing one must realize when starting a business on the internet is that you must "love" or be passionate about what you are doing.
Realize that, to be successful, you must "pour" yourself into your daily work activities. You must become immersed in it. It cannot be something you start at 9:00 am and quit at 5 pm. It must be something you live and breathe.
If you lack the passion and motivation needed to become an expert in your field of endeavor, bumps in the road will certainly derail your commitment and you will quit or bounce to another program where you will exoerience the same results.
The solution is to "search your own backyard for your diamond," so to speak, for your passion, interest, hobby and even your own experience. Then convert that into valuable sought after content on the web. Then you can build and monetize your website traffic.
Then you will have a genuine money-making internet business.
