Starting An Online Business – Some Simple Tips To Get You Going

June 6, 2011

You may imagine that starting an online business is never an easy thing to accomplish. It may be much easier than starting a bricks and mortar business. Still you do have to put some long hours and hard work into it if you want to see it reach a level of success. It's certainly not a walk in the park as some people would like you to believe.
There are however some steps that you can follow to make it as straightforward and uncomplicated as possible. Here are some simple tips on how to effectively get your online business off the ground.

Do your homework and perform extensive research about the online business you are planning to start. Just because you have this great idea doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to work online. You will have to take into account all the factors that could be barriers to your success. All the tools and resources you need to your research are available online. Make a point of visiting blogs and forum websites related to the idea you have. Look at the competition. Do you think you can compete with them? Look at your potential market. Is it enough to sustain your business in the long run? You need to have answers to these questions before you take the plunge of starting an online business.

Focus on a particular niche. One thing you should understand about the internet is that almost anything you can imagine is being sold online. Whatever product or service you are planning to offer, chances are there is already someone else selling it too. Doesn't mean though that you should stop pursuing your idea. The secret to online marketing is finding a niche market and dominating it. Finding the particular niche is where the hard work starts. Begin by searching for your main keyword on one of the major search engines. If you get millions of high-quality results that give you exactly what you are searching for, then the niche is probably too saturated already. So find another one. Keep doing this until you find one where you think you can compete with other marketers. There are some perfect keyword research tools available to help you with this.

Get a professional-looking website. People judge websites by how they look. If your site doesn't catch their attention within a few seconds, then they are just a click away from leaving your site. So if you can't design your website yourself, find someone who can. Put yourself in the shoes of your site visitors. Would your site interest you if you were looking at it? Would you take it seriously? Among business websites, a simplicity of design is the norm. Simple in a way that it isn't too cluttered and that what's contained on the site are only the things that matter to the customer.

Has your business website optimized for the search engines? It's no secret that search engine traffic converts to customers more than any other type of traffic like social traffic or direct traffic. Therefore, getting your site found via search engines should be the main focus of your attention.

If you follow these tips on starting an online business, the process will become a lot simpler and smoother. Don't miss Judge me on this, I don't say this is the one and only way, I just like to show you some ways.

Thx for reading.

Earning Income on Line Direct result of Earning Authority!

May 20, 2011

Earning Income On-line is no different than Income Off-line, through the Sales process. People BUY from people they know, value and trust.

One of the easiest, least expensive and most productive ways to Establish that authority is to Create and maintain a "Viable BLOG" in the niche of your passion or choice. There are so many people who have tried to follow this principle but never took it seriously. You should be posting minimum three times a week to your readership, and develop a cross promotion system with Social Media to your targeted audience.

Watching so many struggles for the past few years and realizing the difficulty of "going it alone", we designed a Networked Blog System, which is giving serious minded business persons the venue to establish Internet Authority Quickly, enjoy traffic and conversions.
However, this is NOT an Auto-pilot system and requires "YOUR" attention.

What is included is a setup and hosted Word-press system, with several thousands of dollars of PREMIUM plug-ins available and SEO friendly Themes.

But more important, one-on-one support LIVE, once a gain video recorded Webinar and a once a week INTERACTIVE live talk show sharing the intricacies of SUCCESSFUL blogging and introduction of new ideas.

We know how to enjoy High Ranking, Traffic Generation and Revenue production. Regardless if our system has any fit for your Master Plan.
Focus more of YOUR time and energy into BLOGGING.
Your bottom line will appreciate it.

If you are serious about information on the "Networked Blog System, call me direct, Days Pacific. I return all calls within the hour.

All The Best

Why is a Testimonial important, at APSense or is It?

April 22, 2010

I been here at APSense for a long time, have to watch much come and go, it happens part of the process. Iit's like the song "Still Have Not Found What I am Looking For" but every so often you do encounter a member who has talent, desire and most of all the ability to just do it.

I being am honest l was very impress with her on her first day, l did guide her in the correct direction and what she asked at the tim. Wow she had it all figured out how can you not be impressed by someone who just listened to you... If you take some time and review this member, her name is Belinha Fernandes. I decided to write her a testimonial, on her first day, never did that before to anyone here just fact.

When she read that testimony, she was having an off day, and when she read it, it inspired her to get herself motivated and work at what she loves doing. Positive feedback is something you have to earn, with respect and most of the lead like a leader.

When you take the time to appreciate what we all have here, we understand the ability to share and make each us as successful as we possibly can. You can not buy a testimonial here if you; do it has "NO VALUE".

So when you looking other members profiles scrawl down and review and read the section of Testimonials, see how many they have what it say's you know the good ones from the bad ones but each one had a meaning.

I am also going to post this to the APSene Blog, providing Belindha Fernandes a larger audience of networkers who understanding Marketing at this level.

All the Best,

How long does it take to make money on the internet

March 24, 2011

This is a very good and well-written article for anyone who wants to make a living on the internet. Thank you, Laura, for sharing this information with all our readers.

How long does it take to make money on the internet?

When I started my business 4 years ago, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I had never built a website, and I didn't have a clue what SEO, HTML, or keywords even meant. I didn't know what blogging was, and I never heard of twitter, facebook or social networks. The only thing I knew was how to open my e-mail. (this is the absolute truth).

Then, I was introduced to Multi-Pure. I answered an add in the local newspaper for someone looking for helpers at our local state fair. I called the guy and we met that day at the local McDonald's. He started talking about this water filter company that I had never heard of. At the time, I was broke, out of work and a penny less. We were about to lose our home and I was in desperate need of a job. He told me about his company and I was so impressed, that I immediately joined Multi-Pure.


I was so excited to have found this company and I went home and went online and learned everything I could about this company. I told my husband that I was going to sell water filters on the internet!!! My husband responded with "You will NEVER sell anything on the internet"! I, however, know a good thing when I see it. I had such a good feeling about this company and the product, that I just knew I had found my niche.

So I went about learning how to market on the internet. I learned that I absolutely had to have a website, so I decided to build my own!! WHAT? Yup, I took that leap and decided to learn absolutely everything I could about building a website. Along the way, I learned SEO and how to get your website on the first page of Google. THIS was my goal!!! If I was going to succeed, I absolutely had to get my site on Google.

I decided to go with Yahoo page builder. (not knowing any better) and not realizing there are web building programs out there that have templates already installed. Page builder starts you out with blank pages!!! Anyway, to make a long story short, I built my first website with page-builder. It took me over 6 months, but low and behold my website (purest drinking water.com) ended up on the fist page of Google.

I decided to start running some ads using PPC (pay per click). I read that it helps to run some advertising to get sales, so I started using yahoo's pay per click service. Of course I couldn't afford much, and started out at $2. per day. Now, you have to realize, when you're flat broke and can barely pay your bills $60 per month is A LOT of money. But I didn't care. I told my hubby, We've got to spend money to make money. Well.. the sales started rolling in!!! I'll be darned, I was actually selling water filters on the Internet!!!! Ye Ha!

Well, what happened next? I was named Multi-Pure's 2007 "Rookie of the year"! I made 60 sales that first year and was honored with my first award and trip from Multi-Pure for my efforts! (and a nice bonus check to boot). Ha! now my husband was eating a lot of crows.

I am now into my 4th year and my sales and downline have quadrupled. I am now making over $20,000 per year and my income is doubling every year.

So...How long does it take to make money on the internet?? THAT is up to YOU! I can tell you this...You will not get rich overnight. You MUST be motivated and devoted to Your business. Learn everything you can. listen to your mentors. (I didn't have anyone to teach me) I learned by researching and countless hours of reading about marketing on the internet. I am still learning every day, and I now try to teach my downline and others what I have learned.

My advice is, if you really, really want to make money on the internet You can do it!! Get motivated and stick with it!


This is my latest and biggest paycheck to date. And every month they get bigger! What can I say? The hard work does pay off! (This is a 2-week paycheck). That is one of the great things about Multi-Pure. You get paid every 2 weeks!!

Regards,

Why The Back Link Club Will Be Successful!

November 7, 2010,

Why The Back Link Club Will Be Successful!

Since we over here in North American gain an additional hour of sleep, l am going to use it productively. What l mean by this is; l came up with this concept a long time ago and now studying our results combined with The APSense Blog l see a stream of income for all members who have the ability we are looking for to make this Club successful.

This is going to be called a Club not a Group, see the difference here is if you decide to join and stay active with in this Club and reap the rewards, then it has to be made the first paid group here at APSense. The logical reason for it being a paid membership club we will only have the very serious talent we need to create the back links we require on a daily bases.

Every article l write or modified for one reason or another has to have visibility on the internet, key words, key phrases has to match the content and the audience l need to target. so if your not using all of the tools here at APSense, then why should you even consider joining this group as a free member.

The team that this club will build will achieve success beyond their greatest expectations, because the will all master the art of having their sites, articles, blogs and else they promote become fully search able. This is only works when we create key phrased back links, follow me l follow you. I leave a comment you leave a comment. Do these simple steps, the hits will be unbelievable.

How do you achieve this type of advertising, well very simple how do you think APSense got to be ranked 5,321 by Alexa Rankings, how many members know how many back links APSense has at the moment. You can found this out in seconds, if you know how to found it. Since l feel you have a burning desire to succeed then start becoming "SEO" all of your articles, l read l watch l comment but most have not what it takes but since l know this l will supply you with the tools that will increase your success here and all over the internet.

All the Best,

Don't be a Twitter follower... Learn 6 Ways To Be A Twitter Leader

October 30, 2010

Don't be a Twitter follower... Learn 6 Ways To Be A Twitter Leader

Written By Lonnie Niver

I wrote a post about how you can generate more traffic to your Twitter postings by using Keywords. Click here to read more on Twitter keywords...

There is much more to Twitter than using keywords. Have you ever noticed the difference in your following and follower counts. Your Following count seems to be much more than your followers.

Why is that?

It's because you're trying to follow everyone and everybody to sell them on your business opportunity. When your following count is bigger than your follower count you're a follower or someone who just wants to spam everyone you are following. You don't have any valuable information to offer so, people who were following you will UN-Follow you. Leaving you look like a follower instead of a leader.

There are 6 ways you can fix this:

1. Start offering valuable information
People want solutions to their problems and if you offer a solution they will keep coming back for more. (Returning customers)

2. Don't follow just anyone
Remember Target Market? Find your Target Market on Twitter. You have to find your audience before you can offer an opportunity. If someone is posting on Twitter Sports information they want nothing to do what you're offering unless it's about sports and Don't follow girls who offer sexual pics. It's very tacky and not good for business.

3. Only post about your business opportunity once in the morning, once in the afternoon and again at night. All other posts should offer some kind of value.
Advertising less is better, people are tired of sales pitches and they will smell you coming before you have a chance to present your opportunity. Add a post about your opportunity 3 times a day.

4. The link in your post should go to your blog or personal website instead of the lead page. This lets people know that you have information that is valuable to them and you're not trying to push your opportunity on them. Creates a good relationship.

5. Archive your following count. This is very easy to do. Go to the list of people your are following. Click on the link that looks like a gear for each person you are following. If they are following you there will be a direct message link in the drop down box. If there is not one then that person has chosen to not follow you. I would UN-Follow them back because they are not getting your posts and you are getting all their posts. If you have a lot of people this will be time-consuming but worth it. If you are just starting out you can implement this in your daily routine.

6. Re-post your followers post.This will get your followers to re-post your postings. Why is this such a big deal, well because if they re-post they are telling other who may not be following you about your post. Therefore, you get more readers!

Now that you now the 6 ways to become a leader on Twitter you should have no problem becoming successful. Don't be a follower, be a leader!

Regards,

Together Everyone Accomplishes More Lonnie Niver

What Makes Apsense so Different From other Social Sites

October 27, 2010

What Makes Apsense so Different From other Social Sites.

I feel like an absolute "NEW" member right at this very moment. I have been away from here, most of you know why nothing to do with Apsense's at all, due to the lost of my dad back in early June of this year. I have been a member of Apsense since the early days, so do have an idea of what l am going to share with ALL who reads this. Since today is his Birthday, l decide to come back... made perfect sense to me!

The reason l found it really hard to ever leave is for the very simple fact, you will not found no other Social Site you join the tools and the opportunity you have at your finger tips. This is not a get rich site, no promises made towards your success and what l mean by that you can enjoy all the features for free if you decide to stick around. What good are all the features, if you never learn how to use them effectively.

Getting back to my point on why l feel like a new member, for the changes and improvements that the team within Apsense has made for all of us to benefit the rewards from. How many other Social Sites change features and provide you with all the benefits you have here to use effectively as changes on the internet occur daily. I came back and l was lost for about 32 seconds. l said wow this is totally different, so l tested the new stuff out one by one. Created my first Rev Page, checked out all the different areas l needed too.

Now how many people can say that about other sites having an impact with features that have been revised, improved and most of all able to promote you more effectively then three months ago. Why they actually care, the more we work within Apsense the more back links we created with in the world wide web. Sorry what is the cost again for being a member. Not really important most will never upgrade or be able to effectively use the system but we need them also. This is why you fail, actually at any site...

Learn the system here at Apsense, promote your product with out having to using Spam. Set up your profile is the very first step within our community, use your real picture. People will buy from a real person, not from some dumb picture that has been posted by you. Your in business to make money, l hope l am correct and you have this burning desire for success. If you understand what l just wrote, you will go back to your home page and review your Business Center.


Success comes to all who have a burning desire, means one thing working smart within the team, learning from other members, joining groups. By the way l created a couple of groups and plan on carrying out each and every missions statement l promised all who joined one of my groups. Yea l been away but not l am back, going to make sure Apsense becomes the biggest Social Site in the industry. See if this happens several things will happen you will all become very successful, if you learn what Apsense will teach you and what you learn form other members....

I am going to add links and solid information to make sure you all become successful, and re start my journey on making Apsense the most successful Social Site on the internet. But l need your loyal support and a burning desire to chase a dream that will all have. Starts right after you read this blog, you need to do one thing in life change your attitude. If your in for the money not happening, you need to earn it before you can have it...then you can actually spend it, buy things and enjoy a wonderful life with money....

All the Best,
