Your Roadmap to Internet Profits
By Terry Dean
Would you ever consider going on a vacation across
the country without bringing a map?
It is hard enough to find your way in some places
with a map. How hard would it be if you tried this
adventure without one?
Yet, this is exactly what people do every single
day in the online world. They tried to build their
own businesses online without having a roadmap to
success.
Then, after months or years of just wandering
around online, they give up in frustration and
quit. They walk away saying that the Internet
doesn't work for them. The reason it didn't work
is that they didn't pick up a map and follow it!
You don't have to end up lost in the online
shuffle. Below I will give you ten steps to help
you map out your course and get you started in the
right direction. It isn't everything that you need
to know by any stretch of the imagination, but it
will give you a basic foundation to build upon.
Consider it your beginner's map to Internet
marketing profits.
1. Choose a targeted market
The biggest mistake most people make when starting
a business is that they choose a product and then
try to find people who want to buy it. If that is
the direction you are starting from on your
journey, then you are going the opposite direction
from your destination.
Wise businesses operate from a different concept.
They pick a market first, and then they pick a
product those people are searching for. In other
words, instead of trying to find leads to sell
their product to, they find targeted leads and
then ask them what they are wanting to buy.
Don't even consider starting a business until you
know exactly where you are going to get your leads
from. Think targeted customers first. Then, you
can come up with a product for those individuals.
Would you rather have 1,000 hits a day at your
site of a general audience OR 10 hits a day of
people who are desperate and willing to pay any
price to buy your products? If you are smart,
you will choose the people who are ready to buy!
2. Develop a Product
Next, you need to develop a product or service
for this market. Don't just jump on the
bandwagon of affiliate programs when you come
to this step. There are three major ways to
selling a product online:
a. You create your own exclusive product.
This is the best opportunity you have. If you
develop your own product, you can pick it's
price, sell reprint rights to others, set up
an affiliate program, etc. Don't tell me you
can't do this. Tens of thousands of innovative
entrepreneurs have used their own information
products to get their careers started. You can
too.
Throughout your life, I am sure that there is
something you have learned that you can share
in a How-To product. Maybe you know someone
else who has the right knowledge for a How-To
product and you could offer to help them
create a product if you both shared the rights
to it.
Don't just jump past this opportunity and say
it can't be done.
b. You buy the rights to a product or you JV
for an offline product.
You can buy the rights to successful products
for $500 - $20,000. If someone else has created
a product that you know your targeted market is
interested in, offer them a large up-front fee
for the rights to it. This way you can get your
own product and never have to pay a penny in
royalties.
You can also search through magazines your
targeted market reads and look for products
people are selling. Then, give them a call
and ask for the exclusive Internet rights to
their product for a certain percentage of the
profits or an up-front fee.
c. You join an affiliate program.
If you are just starting out online, this can
be a good choice. You do have to keep in mind
though that it doesn't offer quite the profit
potential that creating your own product or
obtaining rights to one has.
When choosing an affiliate program, make sure
that it is something your targeted market
cannot be without. They absolutely have to
have it. Also pay special attention to the
profits you receive from each sale.
If you are only be paid 5% commissions on the
sales of $10 books, you will only be making 50
cents per customer. It would take 2,000
customers just to product $1,000 in profits. You
cannot make money like this online! Look for
higher priced products and higher commissions...
especially commissions in the 25% or higher
range.
3. Create a USP
Create a Unique Selling Position for your
product or service. Too many companies are
just trying to be me-too companies online.
You cannot be just like the next guy and
expect to make a profit in a global economy.
Just going to the next guy's web site to
order is too easy for your customers.
You have to create a Uniqueness to your
product or offer. What can you offer that no
one else can? Can you offer better guarantees,
better customer service, more technical support,
faster shipping, or lower prices. Think of
something that will set you apart from all
of your online competitors and tell in
complete detail what it is.
4. Pick a Domain Name and Hosting Service
The next step is to pick a domain name that
describes your company, USP, and offer. Try
to keep them as short and descriptive about
your business as possible. Avoid using dashes
or misspellings of your product. Both of
these things will cause people to leave out
part of your domain if they type it in.
Someone else will be getting free traffic
that you worked hard to obtain.
For hosting, I personally choose to use
http://www.Oraifite.net
since they have the Fastest
customer service and technical support in
the industry. Test them out. They will
respond to you within the hour...anytime
24 hours a day. No other company I have
ever been with has even come close!

5. Develop a Customer Friendly Site
The next step in the process is to develop
your web site and put it up for the world
to see. If you are planning to own a full-time
Internet business, I recommend that you learn
how to design the site yourself using one of
dozens of programs which are readily available
at any software store.
You will save so much money if you can do the
work yourself on just the editing alone as
your site grows. If your main business is
offline and you are just adding a secondary
income, then you may want to consider having
a professional do your site for you.
When designing your site, keep the customer
in mind always. Provide order forms for online
credit card orders. Make all of the links easy
to understand. Try to keep your site simple.
Think like a customer, not the business owner.
Your customers are not nearly as interested in
your business as you are. Make sure to put the
benefits of your site and your USP right on top
of the site. More than half of the web surfers
never drop down past the first screen full of
information. So, you have to give them the
information they need as quickly as possible.
The rules for any type of business are
Benefits, Benefits, and more Benefits.
6. Offer a Freebie
One of the major keys to developing traffic and
sales at your site is to always offer some type
of freebie as a drawing factor. For example, I
offer dozens of free reports, weather reports,
news, and more. My greatest drawing factor
throughout the past 8 months though has been
the two free e-books which we offer on our site
to people who subscribe to this newsletter.
You need to come up with a freebie no matter what
type of business you are in. Create a free report
and give it away. Add in a message board or some
other type of CGI program on your site. Give a
free demo of your software. Create something that
you can give away for free on your site to draw
in the visitors.
7. Start Your Own Opt-In List
Almost every full-time Internet marketer I know
has developed their own Opt-in email list of
some type. For most of them, it is a weekly
newsletter they send out by email. For others,
it may be a Tip of the Day. Other people might
just have a list that they send out important
updates to.
No matter what you choose to do, odds will be
on your side if you concentrate on building a
list of loyal email subscribers. Very rarely
do customers purchase from you the first time
they visit your site. Most of them will get on
your list, hang out for a few weeks or months,
and then they buy from you. They have to get to
know you before they are willing to spend their
money with you.
8. Submit to Search Engines
Although search engines are not the advertising
avenue they once were, they are still important
to any overall Internet marketing plan. You can
submit and earn top positions on the search
engine using the secrets that are revealed to
throughout the online world. The biggest key to
high placement is the easiest one to understand.
Having important and valuable content on your
site can be the major factor to your top position.
For more search engine secrets, keep an eye on
our Search Engine Guru section that is published
every single week. We have received dozens of
testimonials of how our readers have been
applying what they have learned every week and
achieved top positions on the various search
engines. Make sure you are using this free
resource in Web Gold.
9. Use Every Free Advertising Method Available
Use press releases to offline publications.
Write informative articles and send them to
online newsletters. Participate in forums,
mailing lists, and newsgroups. Place ads on
free classified sites. Trade links with other
sites. Set up CGI programs such as Search
Engines, Free-For-All Links sites, and more.
Do everything that you can do to start producing
a consistent level of traffic using the Free
Ynternet marketing methods first. By going this
direction first, you can use the profits as
investment capital to expand your marketing to
paid advertising sources.
10. Use Paid Advertising
Most Internet businesses rely more on paid
advertising than on the free sources of
traffic...although I have found both methods
extremely important in my business. Ezine
advertising can be the most effective money
you ever spend online. Add to that banner
ads and links on high traffic sites and you
have several methods of buying hits on your
site.
I have found that the most effective leads
come from offline advertising. For example,
you could purchase ads in a popular
targeted magazine for your business. You
could also purchase a postcard in one of
the card decks. Start up a co-op and get
10 other people to advertise with you and
run your own ads for free. Offline leads
which come to your site often turn out to
contain a much higher percentage of buyers
than any of the online advertising methods.
Once you put our short 10 step outline
together you have a basic map to creating
your own Internet success story. You
wouldn't consider going on a trip without
a map. So don't try to go it alone online
without a map.
