Funding Your Internet Business
Some people will tell you that you need to invest thousands of pounds in a website. Others will tell you that you then have to spend hundreds of pounds on advertising. And of course there are products and a myriad of other things you need to think about as well.
So what is the magic figure? How much money should you put aside to start off your brand new internet business?
The answer really depends on a number of factors. For starters it depends on what kind of business you are setting up. If you have skills to sell – perhaps you want to make money from writing for example – then you don’t need to worry about investing in stock. You have the skills you need already to create the work once people order it.
It also depends on what you are capable of doing to reduce the costs involved with setting up your own business. For example if you know enough to set up your own website you won’t have to pay someone else to do it for you. It might take you a bit longer but you may see this as a price worth paying , in order to save some actual expenditure to someone else. In addition to this there are some small business services online which offer either a discounted website or a free one to get you started. Microsoft does this with its small business arm.
Time is an important factor in many cases. For example you may well be able to set up your own website on your own. But how long will it take you? If the answer is several months then you may be better off paying someone else if it will get you the website you need in a week or two instead. Just think of all the sales you could make in the time it takes you to complete the same job.
As you can see it isn’t as easy as you might think to figure out how much to invest in your internet business. For example you might want to indulge in some paid advertising such as Google Adwords to help you find new clients and customers. On the other hand you may be happy to use all manner of free advertising methods to help you spread the word about your new business. A lot depends on how fast you want to get results.
This is why many new internet businesses are started alongside a regular job. Not only does this mean there may be some cash available to help pave the way if necessary, it also means there is no time pressure to make money quickly. An internet business built up like this can grow gradually and thus develop into something really worthwhile in the long run.
So you see there is no magic sum of money that will get an internet business off to a flying start. Instead you need to work out what you want to achieve and when you want to get there.

Designing A Twitter Background
Posted by Jack Wylde in Internet on 04/19/2010
Different kinds of people are now on Twitter. Even technical writers are now using the social network to promote their documentation services. If you have your own Twitter account, you should design an appropriate background.
When you create your profile page on Twitter, a default background is often given to you. If you want to create substantial impact, you should use custom-designed backgrounds. It is an effective way of generate more traffic.
How can you design your Twitter background?
What kind of information do you want to convey to Twitter users? You need to choose the right information, palette, and color for the sidebar. You can see the background next to the message column. The image does not contain image maps and so you can’t insert HTML links. Once you switch the image, the default background is changed.
For a more professional and cleaner look (for those who want to use Twitter as a marketing tool), don’t include any tile on the image.
There are image editing programs that you can use like Photoshop that allows you to save in GIF or JPG format. You need to create a large image that can occupy the computer screen but without tiling. A rectangle of 780 pixels x 1200 pixels is just right. If this size is not enough to cover the whole screen, you can increase the size by making it longer or wider.
For your information bar, you can line up your images or photos, business info, and website; this bar can be found on the upper left of the background image. It can also include your name, job title, blog URL, specialty, social network URL, and other important information.
Try to save everything as image. You can also create much smaller files by saving it ‘for web’ (if you’re using Photoshop). After that, click on the settings and then ‘Design’. Click on the link ‘change background image’. By clicking on ‘browse’, you can now find the image that you’ve previously created. Leave the tile check-box unchecked. Finally, click on ’save changes’. After several seconds, you will have a custom Twitter background image.
Your background on Twitter tells a lot about your personality. If you plan to use Twitter for online marketing, make the background more professional. However, if you’re planning to use Twitter exclusively for making friends and staying connected, make your background more friendly and inviting. Make sure that it suits your image and personality. Cool backgrounds are great for youngsters. There are many editing programs that you can use aside from Photoshop’ it’s up to you to choose the best one that can provide the best background ever.
For technical writers and other serious professions, stick to simple and basic background designs. Having a formal look can also attract formal followers who are serious in their business. Hurry and change your background now. If you have a hard time in following the instructions mentioned earlier, ask someone who has been using Twitter for some time; perhaps some of your friends or relatives know how to edit the background.
Twitter backgrounds can be custom made. If you don’t want to use the default background, change the image now. Find an editing program and start making the changes. Choose the information well especially those contained on the information bar.
Be creative and simple to develop a sensible background.

Maximize Your Twitter Followers
Posted by Jack Wylde in Internet on 04/19/2010
Tweeters from worldwide need to learn how to become a greater tweeter in Twitter. How are you going to do this?
To begin with, you should learn how to ‘re-tweet’. It is possible to certainly transform your standing in Twitter when you re-tweet. When one of your followers posts an appealing post, you can re-tweet it. Should you choose this, most of your followers will even do the same. Just imagine all your followers re-tweeting. When they add your username to their updates, you will be exposed to numerous users. Be careful in re-tweeting when you might not be publishing interesting or helpful topics. Make sure that you re-tweet just the high quality ones. How can you re-tweet? You have to copy the first tweet and write the prefix RT with their name with the originator.
Many users use Twitter to publish tweets that no one is interested about. Who cares in what you ate for dinner or that which you did last night. Perhaps your closest friends will appreciate that but think about the rest of the social community? It might be better when you distribute informative tweets, no nonsense. In so doing, people will think of you in a different way. They are going to understand and feel that you care some way. If you’re addressing your tweets to 1 guy, try and indicate it so that others knows who you are referring to.
Send replies often. Discussing all day long is possible through Twitter. If you wish to talk, you’d better sign up to this social site. Followers like a person who knows how to listen. You might probably find yourself laughing at dumb tweets and you must restrain yourself. Twitter is an application that allows people to communicate; so matter just how interesting some tweets sound, try and appreciate them and reply courteously. Most of Twitter users need to be heard on the internet and when they find people who know how to listen, they are more focused on making friends.
In order to tweet better, you should be proactive. Locate some nice articles and very helpful info online; once you find one, post it. Some might re-tweet it or you can find other users that are curious about meeting you.
Its not necessary to talk about something at all times. Try and be careful in using your automated messages and updates because you could be tormenting others with boring info. You can also try using hashtags. The keywords and phrases are preceded by # and during the past months, hashtags are really hot.
Use the tool Twitpic to upload pictures to your user profile page. Try and upload as numerous pictures as you can but choose your pics well. Your pictures can tell a lot about you and other users will understand. With the images, your followers can become familiar with you better. According to expert tweeters, pictures can tell a lot about a person as compared to the posts to send.

Website Lead Generation
Posted by Richard D S Hill in Internet on 04/12/2010
Lead generation refers to the creation of prospective customers – people who may not be quite ready to buy or join today but who are interested enough to show interest and thus you’d like to keep in contact with so you can let them know why it’s worth doing business with you.
Clearly leads can (and should) be generated in a number of ways – print, broadcast media, display ads, direct response advertising, pay per click, PR, word of mouth, referrals – and leads can be generated for sales or communication purposes via a wide range of offer types such as trial software, white papers, research, toolkit, prize draw etc.
But, when it comes to your website how can convince visitors of your value so they give you their permission to keep in contact?
Well before we tackle that let’s just get one thing clear – the first thing you have to have is site visitors.
These visitors have to be the right type of people too. Obviously a site for teenage clothing that, in some strange way, got middle class over 55s as their major traffic probably won’t do too well. So, obvious point #1: make sure you have good SEO that targets the right audience profile for your site.
Now that you are getting the right traffic though you can’t just expect that those people will, just magically, think “wow I better fill in the form on this site or give them a call”. No, you have to work at it for them to contact you.
So, ask and answer 10 simple questions:
What really matters to possible customers, what are their needs?
How important to possible customers is my solution?
How do I make things easy to find?
How do I make it a ‘no brainer’?
What can I give them so they give me the information I want?
What are my objectives?
What information do I need to know?
What do I test & measure?
How does all of this work with my other marketing?
How do I reinforce success and kill failure?
What really matters to possible customers, what are their needs?
Understanding this is the basis of success. Frequently it’s a combination of things and all too frequently this has been put into shorthand and the number 1 becomes the ‘Holy Grail’.
Thus, in many cases ‘the cheapest price’ becomes what is promoted even though any reasonable reading of the research of what customers really want is actually ‘good prices with fast service and a nice attitude’.
So, challenge preconceptions and make sure you are marketing from the outside in and not from the ‘manual of standard procedures’. The ability to see things from a real customer perspective is crucial.
How important to possible customers is my solution?
Let’s face it that’s what any business does – solve a customer’s problem. Whether that’s a better way to boil water (kettle) or transfer money (bank) or something more esoteric, it’s solving the customers’ problem that is crucial – and that includes speaking their language both literally and in terms of age and slang.
Sometimes a business gains a lead because they solve problems a customer ‘didn’t know they had’ (perhaps Dyson with bagless cleaners?) more often not and just as often there is a lot of competition. If the problem is something like a mortgage then it’s likely to be pretty important to the customer but if it’s say a new piece of clothing then there may be many solutions and, to many (especially men?), it’s not exactly the greatest challenge.
You should always assume you are not important to the customer but that what you provide is important. That way you will make your solution easier to find than your competition and the easier you make it to find your solution (e.g. well structured ‘one click’ navigation, good search facility, simple FAQs, visible terms and costs etc.) the more likely you’ll get a chance to be on the buy list.
How do I make things easy to find?
This is ‘back to basics’ for presentation and navigation.
The overall look and feel of your website is vital to its success.
Stick to one or two typefaces
Don’t use too many colours
Use relevant images
Have clear headlines and subheadings
Use clear, simple English
Ensure the site is compatible with most browsers
Make it easy to contact you
Ask others for their opinion
The way customers find their way around your site also makes a big difference.
Navigation panels should appear in the same place on every page and preferably allow one click to anywhere (sometimes just not possible on a very large site)
Use breadcrumbs to show whereabouts a customer is in a site.
Site maps to make the site structure clearer
A search facility – particularly useful on larger sites
How do I make it a ‘no brainer’?
This is all dependent on your offer. The ’softer’ your offer the higher the response rate will be but also the earlier the stage in the buying process your enquirers will be.
A ’soft’ offer is one that carries a low perceived risk and a high perceived value, so they generate a higher response rate. Soft offers are those that say something like “Please send me, without cost, obligation, or commitment of any kind……” They really are no brainers. But these offers generally require little commitment so response quality is lower.
A ‘hard’ offer requires a higher level of commitment and may involve some kind of contact. Hard offers – such as an appointment, a demo, a webinar, a free consultation – have a lower response rate but higher quality and shorter buy times and must be handled fast and with great service.
What can I give them so they give me the information I want?
Focus on what you can provide to respondents to help them determine if they need and can afford your solution. Here are some examples:
Free trials (demo or restricted level over 30 days for example) can work really well but takers are generally late in the buying cycle so you may not find many. There are also some timewasters as free = no cost to them!
White papers, research and articles can also be great ways to get people to join your communications list. These people may not even at the time they join be in the market, but continued exposure to what you do may well convince them to buy.
Multistep offers can be attractive as they ‘draw in’ the prospect with say a free guide or white paper with a follow up offer of a free face to face audit or consultation. Those who move on to the second part become a qualified lead.
Taster 1 – 2 hour seminars, webinars or even a video are great real added value offers. You need to present valuable information about how to solve the problems that your prospects are facing and mention your services ‘without selling’, but they have a high time cost attached to them.
Don’t forget whatever you are offering you have to think through the whole process and ensure that you have covered all the ‘touch points’. It’s useful to be able to automate as much of the ‘mechanical process’ using auto-responders and pre-formatted templates but do make sure that people can speak to people and that there is human intervention when and where appropriate.
What are my objectives?
What’s this? Objectives 6th on the list? Yep! Think about the customer first then think how you can marry that to your objectives.
For lead generation they are generally pretty simple. You want to get the right number of properly qualified leads and the right cost per response that allows you with a sensible conversion rate to get the right cost per sale to make the customer either immediately or lifetime value profitable.
All jargon but the equation is easy to do.
What information do I need to know?
Hint: The more you ask for, the less likely you are to get anything at all. It’s, as ever, the KISS principle. If all you really need is name and email then that’s all you ask for.
If you really, really, really do have to ask for a lot of information then split it up so it does not look so daunting and make it clear where someone is in the process. Learn from retail checkouts how this works.
What do I test & measure?
The simple answer is to test and measure everything above – the SEO, the navigation, the page layout, the offer, the enquiry form, all can and should be tested and measured to get you the best results.
Website marketing is no different in concept to traditional direct marketing. It just allows you to do more, more quickly and more effectively.
How does all of this work with my other marketing?
Have a look at our newsletter on Integrated Marketing
How do I reinforce success and kill failure?
In a world where executives seem to keep their jobs, bonuses and golden parachutes whilst acting irresponsibly and politicians get re-elected based on false promises we have to realise the temptation to reward or reinforce failure rather than success.
We tend to listen to only what we want to hear and filter out evidence that contradicts our beliefs. We think a course of action must either always lead to success or always lead to failure, but real life is more complex, with countless variables influencing business outcomes. Many, such as what our competition do are beyond our control.
So all we can do is look at the numbers and continue testing. Things that didn’t work some time ago (e.g. before a recession) might work well now. So believe the numbers and continue to test and measure.

How to Use Professional Internet Marketing
Posted by Jack Wylde in Marketing on 04/12/2010
If you want to know how to master internet marketing, the basics are not very difficult at all. The secret to it does on everything in a instruction by instruction manner and not leaving anything out. After that, it is really a matter of automating as much processes as it can be and continuing to grow your market. These are generally some of the first steps you have to take.
Naturally, you need to start with a web host and a domain name. It is necessary so you might choose the right domain name. You would like one that includes a key phrase or words which are strongly related your segment. Let’s say you will be selling wedding dresses. If you can have those two words in your URL, it can help you be identified by engines like google and customers. Name your business similarly. It is possible to put a name or an adjective in front of “wedding dresses” to create your online business name and Web address unique.
A good idea is for you to get your domain name before you register your business name, if business registration is necessary. Then you will be sure that your desired domain name isn’t already used. An inexpensive extra thing that you can do is to register your domain as a . Net, . Org, . Com and perhaps even more. This protects your business even more and you can use the domains to your advantage later.
Your blog will be a very important part of you strategy. You will need to start marketing through articles and publishing them in your blog.You may want to write the articles for the main blog yourself, to make sure your company image is maintained close to point of sale.
Besides your quality articles, you will need to have large quantities of shorter articles (300-500 words) for publication in social networking sites, and so on. Because these need not be your best performance, you can use article rewriter software and blenders to produce dozens of articles from just a couple. This really is still a time consuming job and also the articles have to be constructed in a certain way, so you might want to get a expert blog writer to assist you with them.
Form numerous blog sites that you’ll be submitting content to, you will need to make use of social bookmarking sites, article directories along with other public directories of various media. This is a nearly impossible task to accomplish manually. If you’re able to afford to, you might want to hire a professional Search Engine Optimization specialist for this job. In case your budget doesn’t allow it, then just steadily chip away at it.
You will want to publish your articles in as many article directory sites as possible. This can be a tricky procedure. Some article directory sites, the ones that rank highest on engines like google, filter out duplicate and junk content. You will want to publish articles to those internet sites personally. With others, it’s safe to use automated submission services, but make sure not to release your articles too quickly. Search engine bots prefer to see a natural, organic progress, not really a sudden splurge. They interpret this as spam and ignore it or worse.
What is outlined above is simply a portion of what you will have to do in order to master internet marketing. If you are competing against many others in a big niche, you will have a hard road in front of you unless you’ve got a big budget. If you are in a smaller niche and are persevering, you will over time see your marketing efforts bear fruit.

The Key to Starting a Blog or Online Business: Finding Great Web Hosting
Posted by Brian Meida in Advice on 03/15/2010
There is plenty of great web hosting out there nowadays. Technology and competition has driven the price of web hosting down over the past number of years, which makes it a great time to start a blog, personal website, or online business at a very low cost.
At the dawn of the internet many web users would acquire free web hosting for their personal use. Even today many free web hosts exist, but their are obvious drawbacks to free hosting solutions. The company providing the free web hosting usually is serving ads and making money off of the user’s valuable content.
Many users have chosen their own route and found significant income in starting blogs and online businesses by putting pay per click ads on their own websites hosted on a payed hosting plan which will allow them to maximize their income.
While the idea of setting up a website or blog may sound easy, one of the biggest obstacles for many can be finding the right web host, after all, you are paying for a service and want to get the best value for your dollar. There are many cheap options for web hosting out there, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are all adequate solutions.
With that said, it is always important to do research. Reading web hosting reviews prior to making the purchase of a web hosting plan can be the difference between choosing a great web host and choosing a bad web host. Learning from other users’ experiences with a particular web host can save you the time and money of having to learn for yourself which web hosts are good and which are bad.
Allyn Calder, author and founder of OnlineWebHosting.info, a website web users can read web hosting reviews and find the best host for their needs, knows all too well about the pitfalls of the web hosting industry. “I’ve had to learn myself, in many cases, the hard way” says Calder, “people should always get the full scoop on what they are getting themselves into, and should read up on what the best web hosts are right now”.
The other factor Calder stresses users need to be weary of is the price of hosting. “In a rapidly changing industry, new web hosts are always emerging; competition is fearce and prices are always dropping. Consumers need to be aware of standard web hosting cost so they are not overpaying or getting ripped off simply because they didn’t know”.
New users shouldn’t worry though, there is plenty of free information online that will help you find exactly the web host you’re looking for, Calder is just one of many who can tell you all about it. “It doesn’t take long, we’ve helped countless people find great web hosting that they are still satisfied with to this day”.
In the end, the potential of the internet is almost endless. Getting online with your own blog or website can be intimidating at first, but armed with the right knowledge and information, it can be easyier and less expensive than ever for just about anybody to get online.

The Importance of Having Your Website For Affiliate Marketing and Promotion
Posted by Dhruv Patel in Marketing on 03/15/2010
There are lots of ‘gurus’ that would tell their proteges that affiliate marketing doesn’t require websites. If that is the case, why do they have websites themselves? Are you sure that anybody that tells you this actually doesn’t do his or her affiliate promotion through well designed and optimized websites? There is absolutely no need to argue the fact that affiliate marketing requires website, blog or forum for it to be effective in today’s ever evolving internet market.
One of the important reasons you should have a website for your affiliate campaign is so that you would have a platform where you can adequately review such products for the reading benefits of your prospects. Having your website even serves more purpose than just trying to make one time affiliate sale. You can add some incentives on your sites that would make your web visitors to drop their email address for you before being redirected to the affiliate site. This serves two purpose, you can contact such visitor on a later date t remind him or her of the product he or she wanted to buy. You may also contact the visitor even if he or she bought at first, to intimate him or her of the latest development in the niche. You can even get in touch with such visitor to introduce other related products you feel he or she may need. Without having your own website, blog or forum, there is absolutely no way you could have been able to reach back to those that click on your affiliate link. If you don’t get your visitors’ contact details, all your efforts become nil if they don’t buy at the first visit.
Just go ahead and research the niche you want to start your affiliate campaign in right away, get the keywords or phrases, registers a domain name that would include any of the major keywords you have got and move from there. Some may start wondering how they would go about getting the keywords in any niche. This shouldn’t be any problem because there are quite a good number of keywords research tool available on the internet now. Majority of them are really good, effective and comes absolutely free of any charge. These keywords would be you live line in the long run and ensure that they are part of the domain name you are registering for that particular promotion.
Some people may even decide that they don’t need to build any website but just forward the keyword=rich domain straight to their affiliate merchant’s website. This works very too with reasonable results. But personally, I prefer creating simply website just to get the information of any visiting lead before sending such lead to the affiliate main site. This will ensure that your efforts aren’t in vain because most of the people that visit, may nit make any purchase the first day. It is true that the affiliate merchants have cookies that track the sales for as long as one year in some cases but what if such visitor uses another computer why purchasing? You have avoid this by ensuring that you get the visitor’s email to enable you contact them later.

The site built for you should have the ability to pose the necessary information in a way which will want the customer to be interested. A prospect must be given something free in return for information you want. By using an op in box this can be done so that you attain the necessary information from the prospect and also know that they want to hear from you. An auto responder is a tool that can be used for this and will allow you to market yourself to any prospect for the any amount of time until they unsubscribe from your mails. Some example to help you understand this email marketing are- A restaurant owner can send coupons for lunch specials they offer, allowing people to see that they are having so and so for lunch and that they are able to get a discounted price on the meal. For this and many other purposes an auto responder can be implemented.
Now let’s talk about an ad copy. Words that can be sued to engage the prospect is called an ad copy. This can either see your business as successful or sadly, a failure. With the words used you are given a mental image, same as if you are talking about dogs your brain creates a mental imagine while reading. Much research should be done on this topic if you want to make your online business a successful one.
Before you can actually run your website you must first have a company to host it. When looking for a host it is best that you find one that allows toy to change and republish your site as many times as you want with the same basic fee. On your website should be posted a video or picture of yourself, this in turn gives the prospect as sense of easy when they see who they are dealing with. Remember your business is one of selling products to help the customer and not just a site full of stuff to buy and without any leads generated there won’t be anyone to consider buying your product.
