NEWCOMERS:
How To Succeed On The Internet
by Harvey Segal
Here is the most common question that I come across in
relation to Internet marketing: "I can
see that there is great potential for success on
the Internet but I am a beginner. I don't really know
where to start"
This question
is asked by people who either have an
existing business which they want to start promoting on the
Internet or they are trying to find the right opportunity.
For both cases
the answer is the same.
Whatever online
business or opportunity you are involved in
there is one essential skill that you will have to know.
You will need
to know HOW TO PLACE ADVERTS.
Here are some
of the things that you start to learn when
you submit ads:
* The various
locations where you can place an ad such
as newsgroups, forums, ezines, web sites: and the
different rules and methods used for each one such
as frequency of posting and size of ads.
* How to post
information to a mailing list or newsgroup
for free but using a signature file to promote your
products.
* How to code
your adverts so that you can identify
where the response originates.
* How to organise
your mail files to handle responses.
* How to simplify
your own systems so that you have
standard replies to common questions.
* How to set
up autoresponders if necessary to take
away the chore of responding manually.
* How to deal
with the unexpected (for example, even
though you may clearly spell out in your ad that a
reply should be made to an autoresponder many
people will still reply directly to you).
All of this
is excellent EXPERIENCE which will prove
invaluable for whatever online venture you follow.
Now suppose
you could pick up this experience at no cost
and earn an additional income into the bargain !
This would
be equivalent of being trained for a lucrative
job where instead of you having to pay for the training
it's the other way round.
Believe it
or not such opportunities are all around you on
the Internet !
They are called
'reselling' operations.
When a company
has a product or a service that they wish to
sell they will often enlist 'resellers' to do the job of
finding customers for them.
You may know
a reseller by another name, for example:
agent, associate, communicator, affiliate.
Once the reseller
has managed to get the customer to make
an order his job ends. The whole process of handling the
order, the collection of payment, the shipping of goods, is
done by the company (or distributor).
So the job
of a reseller can be as simple as placing ads
and commission is paid on the value of orders made.
If you find
a reseller opportunity where you are not
obliged to make any outlay for your involvement then you
will gain the vital training that you need - for free - and
can get well paid for it too.
