Websites do not guarantee Online Sales
In the many years of doing Internet Business, I often hear people say “I can just get a website designed for US$1,000, so I don’t need any extra online marketing tools nor internet seminars.” This is probably one of the biggest misconceptions for Internet Business.
A website is like your newborn baby, and you need to take care and groom your child till he or she is able to self-sustain when they start working and earning money. The website that you are going to design is just the beginning of the puzzle in your make money online journey.
If you do not have a clear strategy, and proper marketing plan in place, the website is unlikely to bring in any visitors, not to mention online sales.
Yes, you can always DIY (do it yourself) and try to integrate all the little parts of internet business, step by step on your own. Rate of success? Depending on how persistent you are as well. I also started the website business on my own, without attending any seminars, nor buying any ebooks. However, I took huge action, by first quitting my full time job and then, pushing myself to learn how to sell online. Along the way, I invested lots of time and money to learn many internet marketing techniques. Some worked, some didn’t, but at the end of the day, i look back on my journey so far, and I’m rather pleased to be where I am today. Jet setting to various countries each month, with offices running in 3 countries, and being able to spend time doing other activities without needing to worry about how to pay my bills.
On the other hand though, there are always shortcuts in life, which is to follow the footsteps of successful role models. For instance, you want to sell on eBay, then you can always read about eBay PowerSellers via ebooks, physical books, attending seminars / workshops, and of course, even the eBay University events. However, at the end of the day, you need to apply the tactics that you have learnt to discover whether you have been able to grasp the correct steps or not.
Do avoid being a Seminar Junkie, which are normally used to describe people who visit tons of seminars on monthly basis, but never got around to starting any of the ideas and strategies that they have learnt in the seminar.
That is why, in recent years the Coaching concept has been well received, where you would get coaching advice from experts. For instance, when we do the Internet Success Coaching program, we do not just give customers a seminar, but a full program. Starting with 2 days hands-on live broadband in a computer lab with 1 pc per person, the participants leave with a guarantee that their internet business strategy and questions can always be reviewed by our internet marketing coaches, and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
The program at www.InternetMarketingCoaching.com is suitable for people from various backgrounds, and we’ve had students such as CEOs of multinational corporations, as well as full-time housewives. For internet business, there are definitely equal opportunities for everyone, as long as you are willing to take a chance and discover how you can convert your ideas into real sales. Participants come from many different countries, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Japan, UK, USA, Canada, UAE (Middle East), Australia, and many more. Just make your choice based on which coach or program that you have more confidence in.
Check out their background, what support level, success cases, and see whether the coach’s milestones. There will be many price range for products and services too, so if constantly travel and you want a great place to rest when you are away from home, then you will probably choose a suitable place to stay right? You can’t compare the facilities in a budget backpacking accommodation with that of a 5 star hotel.
Therefore, if you want to get your website designed, please remember that this is only the beginning, and it will not give you instant sales, unless you have applied the correct online marketing tactics, including search engine optimisation (SEO), sales letter copywriting, and many more.
How many people are really making money online from their website? If you want to be among the few that are succeeding online, then you should allocate budget in terms of time and money for promoting your Internet Business, just like what you’ll do for your brick-and-mortar shop.
