5 No Loophole "Rules" For Online Business 2.0

Not too long ago I taught an intensive 2-day workshop in
London, England about operating your own profitable online
info-publishing business on a shoestring budget.

As I stood in front of that crowd almost 5,000 miles from
home, I realized (yet again) that the Internet represents
the great business equalizer of the 21st century.

Anyone with a great idea and the guts and patience to
persevere and act on their ideas can succeed online, often
beating out much larger companies that can’t adapt quickly
enough to prosper or profit.

I also realized while standing in front of those students
that despite arguments to the contrary, people all over the
world buy and sell online for exactly the same reasons.

Anyone who tells you that "My market is different" or "It
doesn’t work that way in my country" never learned the
basic rules for selling online.

Bottom line: Anyone selling anything online – regardless of
their location on planet Earth – must obey the following
"rules" of online business or risk many heartaches and,
ultimately, an empty wallet.

** Target Your Audience Carefully **

What exactly do your customers want and what words do they
use to describe the products and services they will
purchase?

What are their TOP 10 problems / concerns / desires?

Your entire business should center around this list!

Don’t assume you know how and what they want to buy – ask
them!

From this research you will determine the "keywords" your
customers will use to find your business while surfing and
using search engines and sites like Amazon or eBay.

You should then focus completely on these keywords while
constructing your entire web presence, blogs, product
titles, advertising campaigns, article titles, and more.

** Focus Your Website Content **

Your website should center exclusively on those issues
directly related to what you sell online.

If you sell "purple widgets" then only write about the
characteristics, features and benefits of using your purple
widgets.

Take great care in your copy writing to keep your text
focused on one subject per web page and make liberal use of
your keywords and their synonyms.

Constructing your "mini sites" and "landing pages" in this
manner will aid you greatly in keeping people focused on
your sales message long enough to make a buying decision.

Structuring your communications this way will also help you
with favorable search engine placement.

** Consistent Targeted Traffic! **

A website without visitors rates the same as designing and
constructing a 30-foot billboard and then hiding it in your
basement instead of setting it by the highway.

Don’t fall victim to traffic scams which promise thousands
of visitors for only $100.

Those schemes don’t work because the traffic isn’t targeted.

http://AdWords.Google.com makes the best place to start
getting targeted visitors because you only pay for the
visitors you actually receive (pay-per-click), not for the
ads you run.

Also, search Google for your main keywords, see which blogs
and niche-related sites appear. Look at those sites and
target the ones selling advertising to merchants like you.

You can often get significant amounts of good converting
traffic by running ads on targeted websites (and this
strategy is ignored by the VAST majority of online business
owners).

** Always Build Relationships **

Successful online businesses build relationships with their
customers and prospects.

You can only do this if you stay in touch with them through
value-added mailings, emails, and updates.

Online businesses whose only communication involves
repeated "pitches" or opportunities to spend money don’t
do well in the long haul.

A group of loyal customers and subscribers will sustain an
online business owner much longer than a fat advertising
budget ever could.

No matter what kind of online business you operate, you can
keep in touch with articles, updates, videos, info-snippets,
and more!

** Things Change – Use It To Your Advantage **

Understand that creating a successful online business
requires commitment to a process of constant promotion and
continuous education.

You must stay current on cost-effective promotion
techniques for driving traffic to your site as well as any
factors specifically affecting your market online.

The great news is that, as things change, you and your
business can become the focal point and trusted resource
customers turn to (and buy from) for years to come!

The fastest way to get traffic is to BUY it!

… and the fastest way to Buy traffic is Google AdWords.

The problem is:  most people who try to use AdWords waste a
TON of money, don’t sell anything, and end up with nothing
to show for it.

Well, that’s all about to CHANGE!
