Are you considering starting an Internet business? You are not alone, more and more people are using the Internet to start earning executive style incomes. When starting an Internet Business many just jump in without having a plan of action. When this crucial first step is missed over 75% of business will close within the first three months of business.
The biggest misconceptions when starting an Internet Business is that it is automated. Websites and Mentors lead people to believe that their online business will take care of most of the work. While the current market place assist business owners in many aspects of growing an online opportunity. You have to understand that you will have responsibilities in order to start profiting. Basically what that boils down to is work.
Below is a plan of action that I used for My Internet Business that allowed me to start earning stunning profits. You may not understand each step at the beginning but by following the first steps exactly you should be able to follow the proceeding steps easily and effectively.
1) What type of Internet business to start - The choice you make will be in direct proportion to what type of income you want to earn now, and what your long term goals are. If you are looking to make money online as soon as possible, it is suggested that you look into the direct sales industry. Entrepreneurs will have a higher commission level that is suggested to accumulate in a faster method then other Internet Business industries. Or you may not be looking for an immediate income, but rather looking at creating a residual income. This becomes a popular choice for people that want to have a regular income in the next five years. The MLM industry does not typically offer a compensation plan that will bring in immediate income, rather it accumulates over time to bring in a residual monthly income. Usually committing to a MLM you should not expect fast results; rather you should have a one to five year plan of action.
2) Mentor - Finding a right mentor is a very important key to having successful Internet Business. It is suggested that receiving the proper mentoring at the beginning of your business is essential in helping new entrepreneurs to succeed online. So what do you look for in a mentor? The most popular choice would actually look for more then one mentor. Numerous Internet Specialist to refer with will assist you is suggested to be the top choice. You want to have numerous people to work with to help you achieve online success. Look for training classes that occurs on a weekly basis. These should run on webinar services where you can watch on your computer as they conduct the classes. One on one mentorship is not an option you should falter on. It is suggested that having regular one on one mentoring with an Internet Trainer is essential in growing your Internet Business. This is one step that I would encourage you to make sure they offer.
3) Website - My Internet Business offers a professionally designed website upon joining. While this is a great resource for you it should not be used alone. The way to insure online success is by having your own website and capture pages. Think about it everyone is using that same website. Your job is to stand out, and be different then the rest of the industry. The way to do that is to have your own website. Now most are not web designers upon starting an Internet Business. That's okay most quality mentoring teams will offer websites for you to use. Utilize the websites that were designed by your team, and use the site that your Internet Business provided as a resource.
4) Follow up - Having a follow up system for your clients that visit your website is the first step to connecting with your client. A lot of mentors and mentoring teams provide you with proven follow up systems that you can simply plug into. The best follow up systems are now with audios, and visitors. Having these included in your follow up letters is suggested to sell better then the typical follow-ups.
5) Marketing Expenses - Set your marketing expenses at the beginning of your Internet Business. Don't falter from that budget. There are many free online marketing strategies on the Internet today. The old saying you need money to make money is no longer true. In today market place you can still profit with little to no marketing budget. But if you have marketing budget stick to it and do not exceed that amount. Remember you started an Internet Business to profit not to lose money. Don't falter from your goal and get caught up in marketing promises.
6) Marketing or Advertising Options - How are you planning to market or advertise your online business? This is the foundation and the most important part of successfully building your Internet Business. More than likely if you are just starting an Internet Business you are not going to have a clue on how to market or advertise. You should look to your mentor or mentoring team. This is where quality training and mentorship is going to assist you in building your business.
7) Search engine Optimization - Search engine optimization tactics should be implemented in any online business. This is free and generic marketing efforts in getting quality traffic to your website. Yes this does take work, but it has proven over time to bring in regular payments to business builders.
8) Training Classes - No matter what level you are in an Internet Business you never want to stop the training. Having weekly training classes that are derived to enhance your level of marketing is important. You should have access to beginner, intermediate, and advance trainings.
9) Support - The support from the main business and your mentors is essential. Email correspondence, especially to your mentor is not going to be enough to grow your online business. Having a live voice for support is highly suggested. You will have questions, and will need help. Most learn better having that one on one attention compared to email correspondences
10) Be Consistent - Be consistent in your efforts. Create a daily, weekly, and monthly plan of action. Responsibilities that you need to implement in order to properly grow your online business. You can earn money today, but to continue to generate and increase your income the consistency is crucial.
If you are serious about starting an Internet Business then understand that this is your business. Finding a mentor or training system that goes with your online opportunity is imperative. They should be your support, training and they should assist you in your marketing efforts. With this being said you should take their advice and instructions to success, but make sure that you refer often to the 10 profit pulling steps above. The steps above are the foundation of your business. If you do not feel that you are getting the training on a specific step above bring it to your mentor's attention, and get the training necessary to move forward and start profiting.
