a WEBSITE Business...
Here, we explore another Biz VEHICLE - the one used by Internet Marketers - and another, used by both Internet Marketers and NON-Internet Marketers - both for creating wealth and for achieving Principled Prosperity.

As with MLMrs ((those who are successful and full time)) - how would it feel to be able to wake up every morning - walk 20 feet to your office - saving you an hour of fighting traffic congestion, and avoiding becoming the next road rage victim - flick on your computer - and see that you’d made money while you were asleep? Look 3 to 5 years into the future, to a time when you’ve 'built' a successful WEBSITE Business - one that will create this very scenario. What would your life be like then? Many people fantasize about doing exactly this - but for most of them - as in MLM - it remains nothing but a dream - something that is far off in the future. As with MLM - few will pay the price for success.
WEBSITE Biz -vs- MLM Biz?
MLM is very "different" from what we're looking at here, because here you have little or NO Leverage - unless you develop 'additional' WEB Businesses. Also, you have NO Upline Support - NO Corp Management Team - NO Leadership / Mastermind Group - NO Downline Partners to influence your success "either" way - either positively or negatively. In most cases, you're pretty much 'on your own'. So there are both pros + cons here.

Sadly, most people never realize their dreams - but you CAN achieve this => IF you have the right 'mindset' (rule #2 in the Wealth Rx). It takes time and effort and patience to build ANY successful Business, and an ONline WEBSITE Home Biz is NO different. Let's get into it...
Who is a Website Biz Best SUITED to?
Just about anybody can set up an ONline Biz. This is especially the world of Internet / Affiliate Marketers - and there are some pretty big players in this league. But let's expand on this...
Infopreneurs - Now you can publish what you know and love... and make it 'profitable'. Together with a blend of Affiliate programs and Referral deals and Finder's fees and Google Ads (through their AdSense program) - you can anchor an income that can amount to thousands of dollars per month.
Work-From-Home Entrepreneurs - Full or part time - the stay at home spouse - the retired person (or teenager) - the downsized (opportunity in disguise) - they can all build thriving home-based businesses.

Service Businesses - Offer a service related to your particular NICHE. Build a base, whether clients / customers / patients are local OR global. What do you know or do that is of value to others (Dentists / Financial Planners / Personal & Exec. Coaches / Chiropractors / Realtors / Attorneys / Physicians / (some) Insurance Agents, etc).
eGoods Creator - Are you a programmer with an idea for a needed niche-filling software? Or perhaps you have an idea for an eBook related to your niche / hobby? Maybe you're a photographer with many collections of ePhotos (the e-photo sales market is booming!). Even digital sounds and lectures. Yes, anything can be digitized nowadays-- what can you digitize and sell?
Hard Goods Sellers - Are you a small business or an artisan that creates / manufactures / retails your own hard goods (i.e., products that you can actually touch and that you ship -- NON-digital products)? Put up (copy-and-paste HTML) your own store and sell direct to your end-user. What could be more rewarding... in so many more ways than just financial?
Sales & Rental Agents / Reps / Distributors - It's your traffic -- sell or rent what you want - how you want. Do you represent great products, either for sale (from medical equipment - to ice cream makers) and/or for rent (from apartments and villas - to heavy equipment)?
Affiliates - Affiliates are a key to building a Website Home Business. Affiliates are people / companies who sell your product / service on commission (as mentioned above). A commission of 25-50% will bring in the most orders. You can set up an Affiliate program for your own Work At Home Web Biz. Refer visitors to high-quality ONline merchants - in return for a commission. It's pretty much risk-free.
Referrers / Finders - With this model, you get paid a referrer or finder's fee by an OFFline business - for finding a customer (or a "lead") for it. Grow the concept into an alliance of self-referring, complementary businesses (offering both products and services). A high volume Website can makes this a cost-effective income-generator.
Local, OFFline Businesses - If you already own an OFFline business - with local clientele - a Website is a must. Use it to grow your business locally - build trust and deepen relationships with existing local customers / clients / patients - raise your local profile above that of competitors - stay top-of-mind through your eZine - attract new prospects and, in many cases, extend your market globally! Your world, your reach, your impact is now much, much bigger than a 4" x 2" Yellow Pages ad.

How to Get STARTED
Your OWN Interests - Discuss with friends, family and associates - ideas about which products each of them would buy. Be careful to look for NICHE products that make money in an INTERNET Home Business. For instance, if it's about food - a niche product might be - "recipes for low-fat pasta dishes." Then, choose the products of most interest to you.
Your BUYER'S Interests - Find out which products are in high demand by buyers. Check out demand for your product in the GOOGLE search engine. Also, look at price comparison shopping sites, television commercials and print catalogues.
CRITICAL - Ideally, your products / services should be able to be marketed => electronically (INFORMATION products see above) - to keep consumer costs lower - to provide speed of delivery - to gain the highest efficiency. However, this obviously won't always be possible.
PRODUCT 'IDEAS' - There are 'millions' of possibilities - but here are a few "in demand" products:
--Leisure -Travel, classes, singles events and dating services are good work at home businesses.

Low Start-Up Costs - The cost of a Website + a Hosting company is currently very low. If your product is a Net product (Internet), it costs you 'nothing' to deliver it to the customer. You can even advertise with free ads and links on other sites. The possibilities are large.

Little Red Tape - When you start your own Internet businesses, you won't need employees or incur warehouse or delivery expenses. Employees payrolls are a heavy expense for most businesses. Not having to pay these expenses is one of the greatest advantages of a WEBSITE Biz / Internet Home Business.
Simple Setup - As quickly as you can get your Website up, you can be in business. There is inexpensive software that can do the job for you.
Easy Selling - You can have armies of sales reps selling your product 24/7 - 365 days a year if you wish. All you have to do is pay them a commission when they make a sale. The reps are called Affiliates. This is exactly what Amazon.com offers their Affiliates. Check out some affiliate networks, such as Commission Junction.com, to learn more.
High Profits - If you sell Information products (eBooks / eCourses / Audios / Videos / CDs / PDFs / TeleSeminars / Membership Sites / Reports / Workbooks / Consulting-Coaching Services / etc) that buyers can download, or access easily, you can potentially skyrocket your profits. You do the work once - and sell it over and over again. This is one of the best advantages of an Internet business.
MARKETING Your Web Business
MARKETING Your Web Business
eNewsletter - Top Internet businesses publish a Free eNewsletter - offering it on every page of their Website. It's a GREAT way to capture prospects and grow your (coveted) LIST. You can also capture subscribers by offering Free Reports. Send out an eNewsletter each month with a reminder of your product / service. The more happy subscribers you have (your List), the more you'll sell Online.
Articles - You can build one of the best Internet Home Businesses by writing articles for e-Zines. They'll bring more visitors to your Website than ads. Write five or six articles of about 600 words each. Find an e-Zine to publish them by joining an article announcement list (like eZineArticles.com).
E-Mail Marketing - This is easy and cost effective. It's one of the advantages of Internet business. Use e-mail as a way to 'follow up with' visitors who didn't buy your product / service. Often, it takes more than seven (7)reminders to build trust - create a relationship - get an order / sign-up. New people will visit your Website if you offer a free eCourse with five to seven parts. Mention your product or service often, within those follow-ups. You'll need a good reliable Autoresponder for this (AWeber.com / GetResponse.com).Articles - You can build one of the best Internet Home Businesses by writing articles for e-Zines.

Link Exchange - Having popular companies link to your Website will do more for building a profitable Internet Home Biz than almost anything else. GOOGLE depends on your link popularity, in order to rank you highly in their Search Engine (so do other Search Engines). Once Google ranks you highly, you'll get higher web traffic. Websites that link to 'you' expect you to link to them - in what's known as a "link exchange". Try to keep less than 20 links to a page on your Website.
SEO / Keywords / HTML - THIS becomes a most vital part for your Website Biz success! It's not easy to gain this expertise - OR necessary! There are 'many' Software Systems that do the 'grunt' work for you (thankfully)! You do not need to become a master of - HTML - FTP - CGI - Javascript -Graphics - Programming, etc. - but a 'basic' understanding of Search Engine Optimization, through the use of good Keywords / Meta Tags is useful. This knowlege will help you bring in more Internet traffic and build your List of prospects. Here's one of the 'best' places to start = BradCallen.com + SEOelite.com.
