Seven Mistakes to avoid when starting a business online

Mistakes to be avoided when starting a business online are essential to those who are interested in coming up with a new online business. Knowing the common mistakes will save them the cost they would incur when correcting the mistakes and will also ensure that no losses are incurred during the whole process. The pitfalls need to be known and avoided as much as possible.




  1. 1.      Interruptions and destructions.


Allowing interruptions and destructions is one of the mistakes to be avoided. As an online business person, you need to cultivate the normal corporate office culture where courtesy and focus is maintained in all working hours. This will enable you gain focus on the one task of starting and managing your online business. Ensure that you are not interrupted by children or other household chores which can be done later. Switch off your phone to avoid social calls and texts from friends not related to the business and this will ensure you give your young business maximum concentration.




  1. 2.      Lacking a marketing strategy.


You must not lack a marketing strategy. Learn to position yourself right in the market through a proper marketing strategy. Failing to establish a proper market strategy can cause a lot of challenges when starting your online business since you will not be able to know the right people to focus on. A proper marketing strategy will also help you popularize your business through establishing the necessary target market in order to avoid loss of customers to competitors and to ensure that the services needed are provided effectively.




  1. 3.      Not having a separate office/work space for your work.


Not having a separate office is another mistake to be avoided. Despite the fact that starting an online business doesn’t need an office, not having one will be a big problem. A moderately sizable office or work space will be necessary to ensure that documents are kept in a strategic place and avoid being scattered or lost. The office will ensure that inventory, paperwork and appliances are kept well and easy to access. The office will help you avoid misplacement of products and it will keep you organized in carrying out your online business.


 




  1. 4.         Over spending time in leisure.


Over spending your time in leisure with friends can also be a problem if it is not in check. This is because online business requires dedication and time in order to be successful especially in its initial start. In order to have a good foundation you must learn to distinguish between business and leisure.




  1. 5.         Do not over work, at least have breaks.


Online business requires so much commitment especially because you can easily work from home. In order to be more productive you must ensure that you get breaks in between your work schedule such as lunch and dinner and even some time for entertainment or walks. The human body is normally fatigued after a long period working thus breaks will be necessary to rejuvenate your muscles.


 


 




  1. 6.         Enough Rest.


Doing business online is normally accompanied with overworking because the work is always so near you. This makes you get very exhausted very early and become less productive in the long run. It will also make you less productive and less competitive in the market if you do not take a goodnight’s sleep when the night falls. Make sure as much as you are hardworking you rest and have time to relax to make you more productive and creative.




  1. 7.         Disorganized business structure.


Disorganized business structure lead to failure and not success. To remain growing you need an organized business environment where things are done in a smooth way. For the business to grow an organized environment is very essential and may with time include the need for partners or assistants to help you tidy up and manage your business effectively and towards growth and profit.


In conclusion, mistakes can always be avoided and the list that I have compiled above will help you avoided them when starting an online business. There are plenty more mistakes but the above are essentially necessary to be avoided in order to succeed in growing your business.

These Are The Top Traffic Methods I use.

I am going to expose my traffic methods here for all of you to see and use to achieve your own success online. Anyone can do this.


This is what I did to make my first $1000+ Day


I helped by answering discussions questions daily on the warrior forum with a link in my signature so people can check out the product I am promoting. I sent out 1 solo ad 100 clicks for around $40 bucks or so. I created one free wso with a software product I had created before with a OTO for the front end funnel product I was promoting. I also got a top banner spot on the WF for 1 day.


Total Spent on traffic was:

1 solo ad: $40

1 free wso: $40

1 top banner WF ad for 1 day: $100


total spent was $180


commissions generated:

Front end $42 (x2)

$1200 (1) high ticket product sold


total profit was $1102 after amount spent is deducted.


this is essentially all I did. Most marketers will not give all this info but I like helping people out so there you go! :)

7 Hot Secrets of The Highest Paid Internet Millionaires

Find out what the Internet millionaires know that has made them so successful.


Internet millionaires don’t acquire their wealth and success by luck of the draw. They know the secrets to success. These secrets are so valuable that if you implement them, you will succeed in your own Internet business.


There are two general types of secrets that Internet millionaires know which include external and internal secrets. We will discuss these secrets in detail in hopes that you will use them to your advantage and become an Internet millionaire yourself.


First, let’s look at the external secrets that Internet millionaires have in their tool kit.


Internet Millionaire Secret #1: Internet millionaires recognize that strategy should be the foundation of any marketing plan. It is critical to have a marketing strategy and not just jump into marketing techniques. For example, we don’t have to use mass advertising anymore because mass advertising doesn’t have strength because consumers have choices. You would have wasted valuable time and money if you used mass marketing techniques without first strategizing about the state of the market.


Internet Millionaire Secret #2: Internet millionaires are not generalists. They focus on selling their products and services to specific niche markets. The business market in general is going in the direction of niche markets because customers have more choices regarding places to buy their products.


Internet Millionaire Secret #3: Search for and grab untapped markets. Seek out people that have not been able to have access to your product in the past. In untapped markets, you don’t have to deal with competitors which helps keep the marketing costs down. In addition, you will be able to establish a rapport and trust with your customers.


Internet Millionaire Secret #4: Your backend strategy is crucial to success.

You want several profit centers that allow you to sell your products and services to more customers. The backend part of your company supports these profit centers. It diversifies your business so you are bringing in money through many different areas. You can’t rely on retiring early if you only have one profit center.


Internet Millionaire Secret #5: Try to automate as many services as possible. This will allow you to sell services 24 hours a day 7 days a week online. Automate your service centers to cut down on costs and help your customers at all hours of the day.


Internet Millionaire Secret #6: Set up your business so that you are replaceable. You can make yourself replaceable by branding. Branding encompasses yourself or the value that you provide. Branding yourself is lucrative, but it doesn’t allow you to take a break because you have to make every decision. Branding your value, on the other hand, sells your expertise and not your time.


Internet Millionaire Secret #7: Don’t work alone; build a team to support your business venture. Create a team of marketing, business, a mentor and accountability individuals. Remember, two heads are better than one so you can discuss ideas and strategies you have for your business.


Internet millionaires also have internal secrets. An Internet millionaire has self confidence and believes in their product. They are able to make decisions quickly. They have learned the correct information and modeled others that have proven success. They are not afraid to make a mistake and realize that their job doesn’t define who they are. One of the most vital secrets is that Internet millionaires persevere and never give up no matter what obstacles cross their path.

The number one difference between those who are rich and those who are not is time management and learning to overcome procrastination to accomplish what they need to do in their day to be successful for that day. Here’s a simple trick I like to do to overcome procrastination and get my butt moving to complete my tasks for the day.


What I like to do is a simple trick called the 5 minute technique where i say im only going to work on a task for 5 minutes.


Because of the low time frame my mind does not put up a big fight so then i sit down to do whatever I need to do for 5 minutes and once I start I get into auto mode this gets me going to complete the task. Two hours later im grateful that I sat down to do it and the task is completed.


Try it out and let me know what you think

Because of this new change when you email subscribers on your list usually those emails end up in the promotions bucket even the name itself connotates that it should not be read unless the person has time because it is a promotion which may not necessary be the case because If I send an email showing you how to post a youtube video that is not a promotion but a helpful articles.

How I Made My First $1000 Day Online!

So several weeks ago I heard an internet marketer I was closely following was selling his sales funnel as a franchise. The stats show that about 97% of people trying to make money online will fail but about 97.9% of franchises will succeed. That’s staggering that more people that buy a franchise succeed and very staggering that most people that try and make it on their own fail.


So with these facts in mind it was a no brainer to me that I had to get a franchise from this guy. The internet marketer who I bought his franchise is Dean Holland. I have been following him for some time and he is legit with thousands of success stories from other customers I had to jump on the band wagon. He had already fine tuned his sales funnel so all i had to do was drive traffic to the funnel and I was set.


With this in mind I started working on driving traffic to the funnel. I purchased an 100 click solo ads and launched a free WSO on the warrior forum with emphasis on getting people to the sales funnel that Dean provided. So it was pretty incredible because last Thursday I got a call from Dean Holland congratulating me for my first sale. I was so excited I nearly fell off my chair when he told me I had made $1200 dollars in one day.


OMG, I could not believe it. After 4 years of blood and sweat my dream is finally becoming a reality. Now there only lies one path for me. Cranking more traffic into the sale funnel and seeing my profits increase.


Cheers to an excellent 2013.
