Read This Before Starting New Online Business.

What are the most important things to consider before you venture into a new online business? Is it the technical know-how? Or perhaps it’s the traffic strategies?

In today’s blog, I’ll give you a checklist that you can refer to whenever you want to start a new online business.

1) Is the market easily targetable?

Before you do anything, you need to make sure that the market you are trying to get into is targetable. What I mean is your prospects should belong to a community that you can easily locate. This is important because when your business is launched, you need to know where to look for your customers.

This may seem common sense, but in reality, many netpreneurs believe that their product targets everybody. As a result, they advertise everywhere and have no idea why the traffic doesn’t convert.

2) Is there a problem in the market you’re targeting and does your product address to that problem?

In most cases, a business idea is generated when the founder faces a problem that he fails to find a good solution in the market. If this describes the cause of your business idea, then congratulations, as you’ve found THAT problem.

However, if you have no idea what problem your business is solving, you really have to think of one and sell that idea as a problem. Otherwise, you are going to have a hard time convincing people to buy your product.

3) Is your product unique in the market?

To me, this is the most important point before I take action on any business idea.

If you have studied marketing, you may recall the term USP, which stands for Unique Selling Proposition. A good USP is one that not only provides a solution to the problem in Point 2 but one that is unique.

You don’t have to be Einstein to create a unique product. A product can be unique by simply combining two or more ideas into one, or it can be an idea that exists in some part of the world but not found in your territory or country. Or it can even be a cheaper way of providing the same solution and the low price itself can be the uniqueness.

No one can tell you if one USP is more profitable than another. This is where your vision comes into play.

4) Is there a viral component to your business model?

If you think getting traffic is tough, that’s because there isn’t a viral component to your business model. If all the traffic has to be generated by you personally, it’s just a matter of time before you give up internet marketing.

To truly understand the meaning of viral, look at Facebook. While most people think Facebook is doing the world a favor, by providing a good platform for people to connect, in actual fact, the world is actually doing Facebook a favor, as every Facebook user is a free promoter of Facebook, helping Facebook to expand its user base.

Viral components can include many things, from having an affiliate program to providing viral tools. However, the best form of viral component is a system that can easily convert your users into your affiliates, without them having to intentionally promote your website. This means the more they use your product or service to benefit themselves, the more they promote you!

5) Do you have a traffic retention strategy?

Getting traffic is easy, keeping the traffic is harder, converting the traffic into sales is the hardest. A good traffic retention strategy will help you keep the traffic that comes to your website, so that you not only have more chance to convert the traffic into sales, but also have more people promoting your website, if you’ve done the right thing.

The most common form of traffic retention strategy is getting people to optin by giving away freebies. As I said, this is the most common form but with more and more marketers using such trick, you need to be more innovative than that in order to stand out from the rest.

6) Do you have an automatic sales conversion strategy?

People need to be reminded to buy from you. If you need to do this manually, both you and your prospects will get sick and tired of it. Instead, what you should do is to think of a subtle sales conversion strategy that is always reminding your prospects that there is something better waiting for them.

Imagine a person who needs to get from point A to B everyday. He can either get there on foot or take your taxi. It will be annoying if you were to approach this person everyday. Instead you just have to make sure that he sees you everyday and he knows about your offer. One day, when he sees the value of your service, he will buy.

7) Is the need for your product long-lived?

If you sell something that people will only need to use once, you will have to find a new prospect after every sale. That is tedious.

On the other hand, if your product can service a person for live, like an insurance policy, you are going to have recurring income from every sale you make.

Another way of looking at ‘long-lived’ is are you selling a fad? A fad is something that suddenly bursts into a full buying frenzy and then, just as quickly, fizzle out. If you are selling a fad, you may be making some quick money but such income is not lasting. Soon you will be back to square one and you have to start all over again.

8) Is the operation of your business self-running?

How much time will it take for you to keep that business running? If the running of your business requires a lot involvement from you, it means this business is going to keep you so busy that you may have no time to expand the business or explore other business and investment opportunities.

As a basic principle, you should spend most of your time growing your business or establishing other businesses, not running the business.

Of course, no business is 100% self-running. If most processes can be automated or can easily be outsourced, that business is worth exploring.

READ THIS BEFORE YOU START NEW ONLINE BUSINESS.

Let me give you an example of what I mean by running a business. Say if you run a membership site that provides new video tutorials every month, you will have to spend time preparing the videos. You can outsource, provided that the outsource personnel can do an equally good job, and the business is profitable enough for you to engage that person.

However, there is an interesting twist. If you are indeed in such a situation, you can turn the ‘maintenance work’ into a growth opportunity. For example, you can turn your videos into a MRR (Master Resale Right) product and allow your customers to sell or bundle it with other products. This way, the same videos suddenly become a viral tool that will bring you more traffic. You can also produce videos based on interviews with other marketing gurus. This way, you are growing your affiliate network while at the same time delivering good values to your customers.

9) Is your business building an asset?

Most people do business to make money. But that’s not enough. In addition to making money, you have to make sure that your business is building an asset other than money. An asset can be a collection of websites, which the guru call virtual property, or it can be a network, which can be in the form of a subscriber list or a network of affiliates, or you may be building an infrastructure that you can use for your future businesses.

Looking beyond money and focusing on building assets is the way to ensuring that your online venture is a lasting one. Whether your current business is going to survive tomorrow or not, you know that you are sure to win because the asset that has been built is going to benefit you no matter what.

3 Ways To Improve Your Affiliate Links With SEO.

3 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR AFFILIATE LINKS WITH SEO.

The mantra is: "When you improve your site for people, search engines will notice."

In this article, I will go over three things that you can add to your links and images that will help improve how users interact with, and how search engines interpret, content on your site. Also, all of these examples apply to when you are linking out to another site or to another page in your site.

1.  Adding title text to all links

In HTML, a text link usually looks like this:

 <a href=”http://www.blog.com”>Cats</a>

The value in between quotes for href is the landing page where the link will take someone who clicks on it. The “Cats” is known as the “anchor text,” which becomes the keyword associated with this link. A search engine spider will look at the anchor text and associate it with the content of the destination site. Always select anchor text that is relevant to the content at the other side of the link. Proper nouns or short phrases containing proper nouns (brand names, for example) make great anchor text. I don’t like to link using “click here” or “at this site” as these do little to explain what the destination content is.

Essentially, ask yourself: what keywords would I type into a search engine to look for the content I am linking to? BAM! There’s your anchor text.

Now, let’s introduce the title attribute:

<a href=”http://www.blog.com/catvideos/” title=”cat videos”>Cat Videos on my Blog</a>

 The title attribute doesn’t directly impact SEO anymore (as noted above), but it will help with user experience and click throughs. This attribute adds semantic value to the link and displays as a tool tip when a user hovers over it. Since increasing clicks is good for SEO, this can indirectly impact SEO which could also indirectly impact your rankings.

2.  Adding alt text to banners and naming images

When you add a banner – or any image really – to your site, the syntax is something along these lines:

 <img src=”http://www.blog.com/banner1.jpg”>

 The value in between quotes for the src is the place on the internet where the image lives. Notice, it includes the filename. The filename is one of the most important factors in indexing that specific image, so be sure the name is relevant. For example, if you post a picture of you wearing a specific pair of shoes, name your image “blogname-brandname-shoes.jpg” or something along those lines.

Now, let’s add the alt attribute:

<img src=”http://www.blog.com/ cute-cat-dancing.jpg” alt=”Videos of Cute Cats Dancing”>

The alt attribute is similar to the title attribute above, but for images. It doesn’t impact SEO as much as it used to, but it improves how users interact with your site. Also, the text shows if the banner is missing (if the src value isn’t correct or the file has been moved) so it’s good practice to add this to all your images.

Here’s how a banner with a link would look , using both the alt and title attributes:

<a href=”http://www.blog.com/catvideos/” title=”cat videos”><img src=”http://www.site.com/cute-cat-dancing.jpg” alt=”Videos of Cute Cats Dancing”></a>

Now both a visitor and a search engine spider will know what your banner is about and where it leads.

3.  Adding nofollow to affiliate links

In 2012, Google’s Matt Cutts – aka the SEO Authority – let us know that using affiliate links from a reputable network (like Rakuten Affiliate Network) wouldn’t negatively impact a site’s ranking. 

Cutts also told us that we should add the “nofollow” attribute to all our affiliate links. All the “nofollow” attribute does is “tell” search engine crawlers that a specific link shouldn’t be followed/crawled, or factored into the page’s quality score. Due to the fact that all affiliate links point to the same top level URL (click.linksynergy.com in the Rakuten Affiliate Network case), crawlers could assume you are trying to game their algorithm by pointing all traffic to that domain, and thus, negatively impact your page rank. Yikes!

Not overlooking the fact that content providers have to make a living, the adoption of the “nofollow” attribute is the approved way to maintain site quality and use affiliate links. Everyone wins. And here’s how you do it.

Let’s look at a sample tracking link:

<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=AbCd3f6&offerid=99999.10078&type=3&subid=0" >Shop Great Styles from Top Merchant now!</a>

All we need to do to make this link nofollow is add rel=”nofollow” at the end of the opening <a>tag:

<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click? id=AbCd3f6&offerid=99999.10078&type=3&subid=0" rel=”nofollow”>Shop Great Styles from Top Merchant now!</a>

That’s it! This also works for affiliate banners, so don’t neglect them.

Hope this has been helpful. Now go forth and beef up your blog!

Proven Ways To Make Money On The Internet.

      PROVEN WAYS TO MAKE MONEY ON THE INTERNET.

Sounds interesting? It will be more interesting as you read.

I am going to approach this topic from a totally different angle, as I always do. If you find this article confusing, just keep reading. You will get a clearer picture when I put everything together.

Ok, let’s start with the first proven way……

Proven Way #1 – The easiest way to make money on the internet

Do you want to know what is the easiest way to make money online?

It’s to exchange your time for money.

In other words, you make money by trading your time.

For example, you can sign up as a freelancer at elance.com and provide freelancing job to people who need your service. You can also sign up with surveying firms to get paid doing market surveys, or become a mystery shopper to help companies to do market research. If you are good in graphic design, you can also start your own online design company to provide graphic design services.

Trading your time for money is the most basic way to make money. It is also the easiest way to start making money. That’s why most people start with a ‘job’ when they are newly out from school. I hope you can see that a job is just another way to trade time for money.

There is nothing wrong to trade your time for money. In fact, if you are pressed for cash, providing online services, such as freelance services, is probably the best option to start.

Proven Way #2 – The toughest way to make money on the internet

The second proven way to make money online is to exchange your skills for money.

For example, Adsense and affiliate marketing are proven ways to make money on the internet, but you need the skills of search engine optimization, website building, PPC advertising etc before you can make money from these methods.

It is the toughest way to make money because if you do not have the necessary skills, you will have to learn. Learning new skills is ‘tough’ to most people. If you enjoy learning new skills, I’m happy for you. You will be successful soon.

Proven Way #3 – The smartest way to make money on the internet

The third way and also the smartest way is to exchange your idea for money.

The world may be changing everyday, but certain fundamentals will never change. The economy is always looking for means of doing or producing things better, faster, easier and cheaper.

If you can come out with an online idea that can do or produce something better, faster, easier and/or cheaper, you will have your fortune at your fingertips.

Now that you’ve learnt the 3 proven ways to make money on the internet, how about the one and only proven way to LOSE money online?

The Proven Way To Lose Money Online

The proven way to lose money online is to use money to make money.

If you believe that you can make $X and all you have to do is invest $Y, then you are destined to be the victim of the next online scam.

Without time, skill and/or idea, money is useless. Read again!

Don’t get me wrong. Having money will definitely help you to make more money online faster, but it is only true if you use it to buy time, skill and/or idea.

When you outsource your work to freelancers or professional services, you are buying other people’s time and skills.

When you buy into other business opportunities, you are buying the idea.

Do you see what I mean?

Summing up……

In a nutshell, you can either use time, skill and/or idea to make money online. These are the 3 proven ways to make money on the internet. I personally guarantee that. People who fail to make money online are those who refuse to invest time, refuse to learn the skills and refuse to think.
