Ever Fancied An Internet Business???

7 Years At The Keyboard

Ok, for those of you still waiting, the Internet won't go
away.

Hang up the hopes that it represents a passing fad sharing
the fate of the Beanie or the Pet Rock.

With legitimate high-tech stocks finally in the market,
regular people doing "real" business online, and consumer
acceptance to the point of purchasing movie tickets and
homeowners insurance over the Internet, the Web is here to
stay.

However, many people still get that glassy-eyed, far away
dreamer look on their faces when they think of the riches
awaiting them on just the other side of their own dot-com.
Well, whether your business represents a laptop on a TV tray
in the basement, or a mega-corporation with offices all over
the world, my last 7 years in the Wild West online has
revealed a few "truths" which should last from here until
the end of computers.** There is no get-rich-quick! **
I guess it's in man's nature to desire instant wealth.
Since the dawn of history, people threw common sense to the
wind and went off in search of "buried treasure."
Unfortunately, instead of discovering riches, most just
ended up buried under a load of debt, misery and despair
themselves.

In the late 1990's we saw the modern day equivalent of a
gold rush with high-tech stocks, dot-com companies, and
investors who decided not to use common sense.
Well, we all know the result... many people lost a lot of
money and the first online "gold rush" was over. :-)** The "Secret" to online business success! **
Would you like to know the real secret to making money
online that will govern the Internet for all eternity?
Here you go: Spend LESS than you MAKE.

That's right!

Simple math creates millionaires on the Internet!

Regardless of the market, size of your enterprise, or the
nature of the product or service you sell, the people who
make money online spend less than they make in revenue.
The people and companies that make money are the ones who
let someone with basic math skills monitor the advertising
department!** People don't buy refrigerators online! **
That's right, most people don't buy refrigerators online,
but to look at the way some companies operate, you'd swear
they did.

Here's how people use the Web to buy a refrigerator (or any
other major purchase): they go online, research different
models and prices, look for a local store, go to the store,
and buy one.

Companies that use the web to make money (instead of wasting
it by the bucket-load) understand the difference between
closing the sale online and providing information that leads
to making the sale at a physical location.

If you don't know it by now, the Web is a direct response
advertising medium.

What this means is, if you're trying to do business online,
there are really only 3 things you can do:
1. Make the sale (they pay on the site)
2. Get a lead (usually an optin for newsletter, mini-course)
3. Make money on a click (referring through Google Ad Sense)

Knowing what your audience will and will not do online is
critical so you know which of the 3 (or combination) is best
for your site's maximum profit.** The quick and the dead! **
People who buy online have little or no patience.

They go online to get information NOW, or to place an order
NOW, or to get their questions answered NOW!

The online world is a "right NOW" world, where wait times
get measured in seconds and people get mighty testy if their
needs don't get met almost instantly.

Speed, not size, determines the victor in e-commerce because
the businesses that meet people's immediate expectations as
quickly as possible (if not faster) ultimately win.

That's great news for the "little" guy, or the individual
entrepreneur who has an idea and can act on it quickly.
Often, the real opportunities online appear so quickly that
a decision must be made and acted on in a matter of hours.
While larger companies are trying to arrange a meeting to
discuss what might be done, small, fast operations have
already tested their theories and started to slurp up the
customers!** "Change" - The only thing that stays the same! **
How we did it last year isn't necessarily how we'll do it
next year.

The online world moves so fast that techniques and
strategies for doing something can appear one day, get
adopted as "the way we do things" and then disappear or get
rendered useless in 6 months or less.

Perfect example: pop-ups and pop-up blockers.
Pop-up's used to be the #1 way to get subscribers... but now
pop-up blockers have rendered them virtually useless.

No if's, and's, or but's -- Pop-up's are DEAD now that
Microsoft has them in their sites as a security problem!
(You heard it here first)

By the way, the catalyst for change can come from anywhere.
A casual comment... a bit of information from one place,
combined with another... a hunch... a "feeling"... all of
these combine to create opportunities, while also closing
doors to "how we used to do it."

Accept change. Learn to adapt to change. Embrace change as
a fact of life and business online and see it as opportunity
opening up before you.

To do otherwise is suicide.** It's Never Too Late To Start **
Many people never start anything because they think the bus
has left them standing at the station.

They think it's too late for them to jump in the game... any
game... and all the good opportunities have already been
snatched up by somebody else.

All the good domain names are gone... (wrong!)
All the best businesses have already been started... (nope!)
Traffic is too expensive... (uh-uh!)
It's too complicated... (negative!)
I don't have the right skills... (hire someone cheap!)
If only I knew how to do this or that... (so learn!)
If only I knew so-and-so... (introduce yourself!)
I don't have a list of subscribers... (build one!)

All of these are lame excuses that actually have no basis
in reality.

If you want to get in the game online... just do it!
If you want to start an online business... just do it!
If you want to start a newsletter... just do it!

*** Here's a real "secret," something I learned about 14
years ago when I was a "green" loan officer at my first
mortgage bank:

"The more things change and the faster they change, the
easier it is to get into the game even if thousands have
gotten in before you."

Why?

Because when something changes, EVERYONE goes back to square
one and has to learn how to deal with the new information
that impacts the marketplace.

All you have to do is get in the game, things will change,
and you'll be right up there even with everyone else.

Since things change so fast, the Internet actually makes it
easier to start late, catch up fast, and even PASS the "old
hands" and established players by adapting to change faster
than they do.

The biggest mistake most people make is simply not believing
in themselves enough to start... and if you never start, you
can never cross the finish line.

But, just by starting.... you are on your way to winning!

The positive Club

A Knot of a Problem!
 
The galley had been sailing the seas of
Greece for two weeks when a terrible storm
blew up.

No one in living memory could remember
having seen such a grim and foreboding sky -
black as ebony, heavy as lead and threatening
like the army of Erinyes, the God of Wind.

This was the period when navigating against
the wind was unknown. One could only navigate
with the wind astern.

The sails curved and inflated and were
driven by the furious Wind God.

Armatios, the captain, tried to keep calm:
he wanted to be everywhere at once: at the
bow to motivate the sailors, at the foot of
the mast to oversee the lowering of the
heavy sail a little; but he had to remain
at the stern to keep the vessel on course
with the heavy rudder.

He shouted his orders but these were lost
in the wind and tumbled into the rolling sea.

Suddenly the fury of the elements caused
one of the ropes holding the sail to slip.

"Captain! captain! the sail has come adrift,
what shall we do? We will be crushed on the
submerged reefs if we can't get back on course... !"

Armatios, standing as always at the helm,
shouted:

"I cannot leave the steering, one of you must
grab the rope and tie it securely so that it
cannot get loose again. Whoever can secure
the rope and steady the vessel will be rewarded".

The sailors looked at each other and one of
them said:

"Let me do it, I know the triple bowline knot
by heart". He caught the rope and started to
tie the knot but his efforts were interrupted
by a strong gust of wind and he was forced to
let it go.

The ship ran dangerously close to the rocks.

A second sailor caught the madly flailing rope
and said;

"My turn! I know better than all of you how
to do the quadruple bowline knot!" But the wind
snatched the rope from his careless hands when
he was about to tie the fourth knot... time was
getting very short - the galley was getting nearer
and nearer to the rocks.

Then a third sailor caught hold of the rope.
He was confident that he could secure the rope
with a round turn and two half hitches.
But again failure! Before the second half
hitch was tied a stronger wave than all the others,
submerged the deck and knocked the sailors down.

The galley was hardly a cable length away from
the shore bristling with rocks.

It was then that Armatios, exasperated by the
incompetence and boasting of his crew, handed
over the steering to another sailor and went to
tackle the rope himself. In a trice he had
knotted the rope and brought the galley to
an even keel, which stabilised the vessel in
spite of the furious weather.

The courage and strength of the captain made
the sailors silent and over the din of the wind
and the waves, Armatios shouted these words:

"You incompetent people! Do you know why I
am your captain? Not because I am stronger or
cleverer! I do not know more knotting techniques
than you, but I do know which knot is the most
suitable in a certain situation.

I did not ask you to demonstrate your expertise,
I simply asked that one of you tie a strong knot."

.................................................

Though the words of Armatios were quite brutal,
they were none the less true. In the course of
life, in a professional situation, each time
you are asked to solve a problem swiftly and
competently, the person making this request is
not interested in a demonstration of your expertise.

He is interested in the application of this
expertise to identify and to find a solution
to his problem.
