How To Start Your Own High-Profit Internet Business
Author: Ruth Harris
Part III
Information sells, and it can sell really well. It is adaptable,
nicheable, affordable to create and valuable to others. Once you
know a little something about something, don't you get excited
and want to tell everyone around you? It is a natural, human
response to want to share your newfound information with others.
Well, online, that is a business in itself - selling
information. Newbie lesson number one: the gurus make most of
their money from selling their hot-to information to others!
This is probably one of the biggest 'secrets' there is.
You can learn a lot from eBooks. They are your source for
learning how-to do practically anything you need to do online.
Don't be fooled into thinking, however, that one eBook is going
to be your path to riches: make sure it provides the tools,
resources and support in addition to the raw knowledge. You
should expect to pay anywhere from $7 to $50 for a high-quality
information product that really delivers what you need to learn.
Many times you can find bundles of eBooks for a great price
(don't forget the resell rights!)
So from a seasoned online marketer to the next crowd of online
millionaires just coming on scene, I have a few pointers. Ignore
the hype! Look for a product to sell that will be valuable to
others. If it is not valuable for you, it probably is of no
value to someone else. Don't reinvent the wheel and go broke;
use products that others have already developed to start small
and build your business. Promoting eBooks is a great way to do
this. Learn everything you can about affiliate marketing: this
will create those multiple streams of income. In addition, don't
waste time and money creating products and websites that may end
up failing. There are easy and low-cost methods to getting
online fast: they are called blogs and minisites. Once you have
your product, you can use Clickbank and PayPal to handle your
sales quickly, safely and affordably. Learn along the way and
use that new knowledge to help others. Learn-Own-Sell-Teach.

Autoresponders: Free or Not for Free?
+++
I have found this to be one of the most personally researched areas. I encourage everyone to do as much research on the topic as possible, and be clear about what features are most important to you. For example, in the following really great blog, Autoresponders, http://www.autoresponders.com/ The author tests five of the best known autoresponder services in the basis of the following criteria: (On July 6, 2006)
- 1. Email Deliverability
- 2. Customer Service
- 3. Technology features
- 4. Pricing
Naturally, one can read the results and the responses. These criteria, I find, are good, wholesome, all around qualities that one should be thinking about whether you go for a good free autoresponder, OR, a paid service.
Don't cut your self short. Since lists are so important in the cyperbiz, it is best to get what not only you are the most comfortable with, but a tool that will work better than your expectations!
