So Far………

I’ve been looking into creating my own online business………

This I think is where most people start, they look for a way of earning that extra income, that automated way of earning more money without having to spend more money or spend more time in doing so.

We’ve all been inspired or at least been a little jealous of those dotcom millionaires we have all heard about, how did they do that we all ask, surely it can’t be that hard, after all I can use the internet!

Can’t You?

Of course we can all (most) use the internet, we browse online, we get information, we book our holidays and flights, we pay bills, we do our banking, the Internet is becoming a part of our lives…..so why can’t we all make some money from it?

For the same reason we are not all millionaires I guess.

I’ve been researching into how to build a profitable online business for a little more than 18 months now, about 5 months ago I discovered an individual called James Brausch who has opened my eyes to ways of Internet Marketing I had not yet discovered.

James has a great strap line.

Traffic + Copywriting + Products = Successful Internet Business

Let me break it done a little and explain what this means to those entrepreneurs out there.

You will never be successful without some traffic or visitors to your Dotcom shop, whether its a blog like this or a full ecommerce website, just like on the high street if you don’t have people walk into your shop, your not going to sell anything. Well its the same here on the internet, if you don’t have visitors or traffic to your online usiness your not going to sell anything…….ergo you won’t make any money.

So lets say you now managed to get traffic to your website or blog, you now need to consider what the content is going to be and how its written, you may have the best widget product online and lots of people visiting your site, but if the description isn’t upto scratch then its going to turn away customers. Just as in a high street shop, if the item isn’t packaged nicely or the advert isn’t dynamic enough for your target market then all is in vane. So getting the copy right is just as important as getting the traffic.

To make a profitable business you need products to sell, you can get these from numerous places on the internet, just type in ‘affiliate’ and a subject your interested in and you’ll find a list of online businesses willing to share their spoils with you if you in turn sell their products. This is usually a commission stipulated prior to the agreement being met, they are easy to find, easy to sign upto and will give you an income………..an online income.

But wait a minute…….wouldn’t it be more profitable if you had a product and others were selling for you. You have to ask yourself why are they asking others to sell their products? Easy they want you to get them traffic, they provide the product and the copy………you supply the traffic and get commission for the sales you make.

So I have to agree with James, his equation of;

Traffic + Copywriting + Products = Successful Internet Business

Is absolutely correct.
