How Big Websites Help The “Little Guys” Grow

One of the most frequent questions I get goes something like
this:
“I don’t have a lot of money. How can I start an online
business or expose my existing online business to the world
without spending a fortune to do it?”
Basically, people want to know how they can exploit the
power of the Internet to grow their businesses with the
least amount of time, energy, effort and money.
My answer: Ride the coattails of the huge websites who’ve
done all the trailblazing you’ll ever need to kick-start
your online business.
According to Alexa.com, the following websites rank among
the Top 10 sites on the Internet out of the billions and
billions of websites available today.
As I list them, pay attention to how they can help any
“bootstrapping” business, no matter what size.
1. Yahoo.com – This perennial search giant not only helps
you research online, but can help get traffic to your site.
Most notably their advertising subsidiary, Overture.com, can
attract visitors to your site starting as low as a dime per
click.
2. MSN.com – Microsoft’s portal site can lead you to free
email accounts (Hotmail.com) and free instant messaging
(Messenger.MSN.com) to make online communication free and
easy.
3. Google.com – Currently the Web’s most popular search
engine and all-around media powerhouse, Google can help you,
among other things, buy clicks starting at about a dime
(AdWords.Google.com) and expose your full-length, full-
motion videos to the world free of charge
(Video.Google.com).
4. eBay.com – The Web’s #1 online auction site, eBay.com
gets millions of visitors daily, all of whom want to spend
money on something. You can spend less than a dollar to put
up some used, damaged, or older merchandise from your
business to gain exposure to new customers and create a new
revenue stream.
5. Passport.net – Passport.net is related to MSN.com and
should get grouped with #2.
6. Amazon.com – The Web’s largest bookseller is also one of
the largest online retailers of consumer goods. You can grow
your business by targeting Amazon’s millions of visitors
with your own books, CDs, DVDs and more for surprisingly
little cost. Also, the Amazon Marketplace makes it easy for
you to sell new and used merchandise directly through
Amazon.
7. MySpace.com – Allows you to create a website that’s part
blog, part chat room and part networking space. MySpace.com
provides a fast way to post and share information with
associates online.
8. Microsoft.com – Besides providing the vast majority of PC
operating systems in the world, Microsoft.com also boasts
one of the largest available clipart and photo collections
on the Web. You can quickly find and use these professional
images in Web sites, brochures and more.
9. Google.co.uk – The popularity of Google’s United Kingdom
site demonstrates that if you sell anything online, figure
out a way to sell it to people in England too! You can
automatically advertise on this site through Google’s
AdWords program (see #3).
10. AOL.com – America Online’s portal site enables you to
get an email box with 2 GB of storage along with their
classic AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) to facilitate all your
online communications.
