The Realities of Marketing - Part III (Making Money)


Hello everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed a great weekend and look forward to another coming up.

I just wanted to send out a prayer to all the families that lost close ones back on September 11, 2001. Our best wishes and hopes will always be with you.

Well now that the weekend is over and I have had a chance to get back to the daily grind, I figured what better time than now to pick up where I left off a couple days ago.

In this episode I want to focus on MONEY, that five letter word that consumes many of our lives on a day to day basis. For very many, it can or does consume a large majority of their days, weeks and months to the point that pleasure and enjoyment becomes a forethought.

Unfortunately, money is a necessity in order to survive and for those looking at running a Home Based Business and promoting that business through the Internet, I can't think of a reason for doing so other than to make money.

The reality is that in order to make money, you will need to be sure that your website becomes a focal point for your readers and potential buyers. I do not know about all of you, but I find that many sites are highly active with an overload of content, whether it be flashing banners or a ton of text. My personal opinion has always been to have a site that is inviting, user friendly and allows the visitor to access their needs in a simple and easy fashion.

I also firmly believe that a site should be representative of a highly professional business similar to big business websites. Having a professional image will allow your visitor to believe in both your company and your product offerings.

To me this is the beginning of establishing a healthy stream of money.

To further improve on your capacity to develop revenues, what has been exploding lately is Affiliate Program or Partnership offerings from some of the worlds largest suppliers that advertise product(s) via the Internet. These Affiliate programs allow you to advertise their products on your website and in return for all sales transactions completed through your site, you will receive a very nice commission.

The interesting part is that a lot of the Affiliate programs being offered are for items that we all use on a regular basis, so depending on the nature of your website, it is prudent to scrutinize what Affiliate programs may be out there for you to generate that stream of residual income. There are so many, you may find yourself buying off your own site and getting a commission back. That alone will save you money at least.

But always remember that without the proper tools to get your website landing on the appropriate search engine top pages, it will be difficult as usual to attract a stream of visitors.
You will need to really brush up on your Internet skills and get them on par with those that have the ability to do so. Without that ability, you will be a lost star in an ever growing sky.

Until the next time have yourself a great day. And please feel free to provide feedback in our comment box.
