Yes, you really can
get your own Internet business started in just a few weeks. It's a lot
simpler than you might think.
Before I go any
further, I want to make it clear that I am not talking about shady
"get rich quick" schemes or questionable biz-opps or
low-paying "work at home" plans. I'm also not talking about
selling other people's products through drop-shipping or affiliate
programs.
I'm talking about you
selling your own products, that you create. I'm talking about a real
business, with real products that you can be proud of. And a real
potential for significant long-term income.
How much?
I can't say. I don't
know you personally. The real question to ask yourself is, how much
do you want, and how badly do you want it?
I have friends who
only put in a few hours and make a few hundred extra each month. They
see it as a fun and easy way to add to their retirement investments. I
know people who make thousands a month. And I know other people
who make tens of thousands a month.
None of them are what
you'd call a genius, or gifted in any way. It seems to me that the more
'normal' you are, the more money you can make.
All of it online. And
almost without exception, every single person I've ever met who made a
serious income online started with one of the ideas you're about to
learn.
What you make
personally depends on you, your goals and your willingness to do a
little creative thinking. I can tell you that the amount of work
involved is probably a lot less than you think right now.
I'm not going to give
you fairy stories here, though. Some people will try this and fail. It
happens. They don't listen, or they get stuck on one idea and refuse to
try something else when it's clear the first one won't work.
Worse, they try to
create something that no-one else in the whole world cares about.
Instead of adjusting their approach and giving people what they already
want, these folks try and "educate the market."
Be warned: Even the
most experienced and well-funded marketers won't touch that sort of
thing. People want what they want, and they don't want someone telling
them what they should want. Especially when that someone just
happens to be selling it...
Other than just not
trying, the single biggest cause of failure in online business is trying
to sell something no-one wants.
If you can keep that
one thing in mind, your odds of making a lot of money online just went
way up.
If It's Such
A Simple Thing, Why Don't More People Do It?
The truth?
The majority don't do
it because they don't try.
They don't try
because they think it's too complicated, or it will take too long, or it
will be too expensive to get started or they don't know enough about
business or or or...
But is any of that
true? Surely it takes a big investment to get started?
Assuming you already
have an Internet connection, you can start an online business with no
cash expense outside of a domain ($8.88 at namecheap.com) and a very
basic web host ($39 at Streamline.net).
Less than $50 a year
for everything you need to get started.
Yes. Really.
And that's assuming
you don't just sell on eBay and skip the whole website thing entirely...
What about
software? Isn't that expensive?
Some is, sure. But
you can get everything you need to create very high-quality products for
free. Everything from powerful graphics software to a professional-level
office package and all the rest. Free.
It's got to be
complicated!
Can you type? I don't
mean fast, just... can you type?
It can be more
complicated than that, but it doesn't have to be.
I know people who
worked at a business 12 hours a day for years and never made any money.
I can't afford that kind of time.
That's not a
business. That's a job.
Let's say you decide
you want to write a small manual on how to do something. Say, 30 pages.
You can type that up in a week, working an hour or two each evening.
Then you type up a
page telling people what they'll get from your manual and how much it
costs. That's your sales page.
You now have the
first product for your business.
But what about
getting paid and getting the product to my customers?
Here's how that
works. You create a web page for your sales letter. Something like the
one you're reading right now. You put in a link to PayPal or whoever
you're using to handle the money.
You can get the
software to make those web pages free, too.
When people decide to
buy, they click the link and give PayPal the money. PayPal sends them to
another page that you've set up where they can download your product
without you ever having to handle it. PayPal takes their cut and puts
the rest of the money in your account.
You are now in
business.
It really can be that
simple.
What If I
Don't Want To Write A Book?
You can do a lot of
different things to make money online. You can:
-
Sell how-to
books
-
Teach people
using recorded audio
-
Create and
sell art or poetry
-
Run an
editorial "blog"
-
Develop your
own software
-
Market products
other people create for you
-
Use free
teleconference lines to do consulting
-
Publish a
newsletter
-
Run a local
entertainment site
-
Become a music
publisher
... and a lot
more. There are tools and systems available to fit every
preference. The Internet gives you access to people of every
professional and personal interest you can think of. That makes it
almost certain that anyone can make a living online, if they'll just
find out what some group wants and offer it to them.
How Do I Get
Started?
Assuming you really
want to start your own business online, you have two options at this
point.
You've just seen the
absolute basics. With what you've read, you could hit the search engines

me to get started. But I can save you a few weeks of research.

"The Smart Marketers' Handbook," and it's just that.
Everything you need to start your own business on the Internet, and to

There are people out
there making fortunes using nothing but what you'll discover in this
book. Almost everyone I know who's making real money online got started

So, what would it
be worth to you to have this kind of a head start on the game?
Seriously. What would
it be worth? How long do you think it would take to find the parts of
this that you can find using a search engine, and then putting
them in the right order?
How much more money
do you think you can make, and how much faster, by knowing what to watch
out for in advance? And knowing the simple things you can do that will
