• Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet:

This is the BEST course resource I have every come across on Starting and Growing an Internet business. Literally thousands of regular people have acquired this information and made millions in a very short time. It's NOT a get rich quick system. Rather, it provides step-by-step advice on how use the internet to dramatically increase sales for your business. If you purchased this 1,300 page course before, you already know how easy it is to read and how valuable it is to the success of your internet business.

• Warp Speed Wealth is designed to help the true "beginner" start their very first Internet business using a simple, but extremely powerful four-step "blueprint" for online success.  It comes with over 360 minutes of video instruction on 4 separate DVD's and 4 printed guidebooks, which contain over 189 pages of step-by-step instructions.   This product provides useful information and it's well worth every penny, but in my view, The Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet (see above) is a better buy. -- Karl Johnston - www.peibiz.com --
   

• Accelerated Internet Wealth Videos (visual learning):

I sometimes take a break from learning through reading by slipping in a DVD or VCR tape and relax by watching informative videos. The best videos I have come across on Internet Marketing is called "The Accelerated Internet Wealth Video Series". They are produced by the same company who created the "Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet"

They are filled with 13 hours of strategies needed to operate a successful Internet business. The videos even provide interviews with regular people that now own highly successful internet businesses and make as much as $2,500,000 per year. You'll learn how they did it with as little as one hundred dollars.  The people sharing their strategies on these videos will motivate and inspire you to take advantage of the internet to generate great wealth just like they have.
 
 

• Domain Name and Hosting Company:

All Internet businesses require a Domain Name and a company to host their web page. There's no getting around this unless you have your own server which can cost up to $5,000.

A domain name is simply your web address such as www.peibiz.com, www.IBM.com, or www.mircosoft.com. A hosting company, on the other hand, provides a place for you to store your web site information. In other words, visitors to your site access your web page information from a web hosting company's server.  It sounds complicated, but it's not.

There are literally tens of thousands of companies selling domain name and hosting services. Be sure to select a web hosting company who gives you a free domain name when you sign up with them. By doing so, you will save thousands of dollars over the years.

To save you time and money, I have listed two of the most reliable and affordable companies who offer a free domain name when you sign-up for their hosting service. They are....
 

A) Startlogic - Over 50,000 internet companies currently use Startlogic. They offer hosting packages ranging from only $4.95 per month to $14.95 per month (the $4.95 or $6.95 per month package should be adequate for most of you). This is a pretty good deal considering many web hosting companies charge as much as $50.00 per month.

Startlogic gives you a FREE Domain Name such as "www.your company name.com" and an unlimited number of email addresses. There's no setup fees or other hidden charges.  For information on "Startlogic" and their packages, click here.

B) Blue Host has been in business since 1996 and has over 130,000 internet companies currently using their service. Their professional web hosting plan costs only $6.95 per month which includes a free Domain Name and email addresses. They don't charge anything to set up your account nor do they have any hidden charges. For additional information on "Blue Host" and their affordable services, simply click here.

Tip:  If you don't currently have a domain name or you're thinking about getting another one, consider doing it soon, since Internet Domain Names are disappearing at a rate of over 100,000 per month. Amazing, isn't it. So you may want to consider getting a domain name that relates to your business as quickly as possible. Believe me, it is very frustrating when you learn someone has already purchased the domain name that best suits your business.


 

• Getting Traffic to Your Web Site:

Getting visitors to your web site is the most important aspect of generating revenue for you. There are a number of internet resources that will help you increase the number of people who visit your web page and ultimately help you generate sales. Below lists some of the resources I found to dramatically increase the number of visitors to my sites.  The importance of each promotional method is also explained for you.
 
 
A) Secrets to Email Marketing
Email marketing is probably the most inexpensive way to get in touch with potential customers. Your email marketing must be done correctly or you'll be classified as a spammer and, in many cases, your online presence will suffer.

Corey Rudl created the "Secrets to Email Marketing" which shows everything you need to know about this inexpensive way of doing business over the Internet. With this information, you'll learn how to drive people to your site and turn them into paying customers.....by using only email, which costs nothing, of course!  Here's the link that fully explains the "Secrets to Email Marketing".

B)  Traffic Boost
Statistics show most visitors will find your site through search engines. There are hundreds of search engines available on the internet such as Yahoo, Google, and MSN Search. So if you are not registered with search engines, the odds of anyone finding your web site is next to nil.

Traffic Boost is a company who will submit your web site to over 500 Internet search engines and directories. By using this company, you will save a great deal of time and you will improve your odds of generating money through your website (I.E. more visitors).  Here's the link that explains "Traffic Boost" for you.

C)  Power Submitter
Like Traffic Boost, Power Submitter is a tool many internet marketers use to promote their business and help increase traffic to their web site. Power Submitter is a software program which places a FREE advertisement of your business to over 2,000 web sites that offer free advertisements. It would literally take six months of your time to manually place your free advertisements on these web sites. With Power Submitter, you can place a FREE advertisement in less than one hour to over 2,000 web sites. Here's the link that fully explains "Power Submitter".

D) Word Tracker
Word Tracker can help you pinpoint exactly who your market is and what they're looking for. Word Tracker offers a database of 340 million search queries from which you can query to build keyword lists for use in search engine optimization and pay per click advertising. This software is for the more advanced internet marketers.  So I suggest this product for those who sell to a global market.  Here's the link that fully explains Word Tracker.
 
 

Accepting Credit Cards and PayPal:

If you are currently selling products over the internet or expect to be selling products over the internet in the future, be sure you are equipped to handle credit card and PayPal purchases. By doing so, you are making it more convenient for your customers to purchase your products. In addition, studies indicate your sales will be higher by allowing customers such convenient methods of payment.  Furthermore, whether you cater to a local market or a global one, be sure you have the ability to accept credit cards.

Below provides links to two of the industry leaders in secure credit card processing systems. Both are reliable and easy to sign-up for.
 

A)  PayPal's Credit Cards Option
One of the best companies I have come across for accepting credit card purchases is PayPal. With more than 100 million accounts in more than 55 countries, PayPal offers a fast, affordable and convenient online payment service for businesses of all sizes. By the way, it's the world's number one online payment service so they have a great deal of credibility.

When you sign-up for PayPal, you can start accepting credit card payments from your customers instantly. Basically, PayPal is the fastest way to open your doors to over 100 million members worldwide. If you didn't know, PayPal is owned by a little company called eBay.... so that shows you how large they are. I personally use PayPal for most of my internet transactions because they have one of the most secure and reliable services available. To setup a "PayPal" personal account or a credit card merchant account, you can simply click here.

B)  Charge E-Today
Another reliable and secure company who enables your customers to purchase products using credit cards is Charge E-Today. They allow you to accept every major credit card whether its for a retail, wholesale or online business. If you plan to sell many products on your website, they offer shopping cart technology and their staff can even help you establish an online e-commerce website. A short and simple online sign-up form to "Charge E-today" can be accessed by clicking here.
 
 

• Automating Your Website:

 
Mailloop (to automate your office)
Mailloop is a software program that is a necessity for any online business owner who plans to use email marketing. If you want an email message or newsletter sent to customers or potential customers at a specific time and day, Mailloop will do it. You can schedule as many email or newsletter campaigns as you wish and the software will automatically do it for you.

Another great feature with Mailloop is its capability to automatically send emails to customers or prospect who request information from you. This is called an auto-responder. For instance, if a customer sends an email to you requesting pricing on your products, Mailloop will automatically send your pricing information to them.... without you even being in the office.

Here's another useful task Mailloop performs automatically.... 

If a visitor wants to sign-up for your free newsletter, they simply fill out an form by typing in their name and email address.  When the form is completed, Mailloop will automatically email the visitor your free newsletter.  

NEED PROOF - click here to sign-up for my FREE monthly Business Tips Newsletter.  Simply fill in your First Name and Email Address and I will automatically send you the first two newsletter issues entitled "150 Ways to Promote Your Business" and "How to Get Financing for a New or Existing Business"    Well, I guess I should say Mailloop will automatically email you the first two Newsletter Issues because chances are I am not in my office right now!  Try it and then you will soon realize the usefulness of this amazing program.

In a nutshell, Mailloop fully automates your business, thus, saving you a great deal of time and money.  If I didn't have Mailloop, I would have to hire an employee to handle such routine tasks which could cost at least $30,000 per year.  I use it every single day... It's great!   For additional information on how Mailloop can help you, click here.

I personally use each of the above Internet Resources on a regular basis and they all produce remarkable results!

As mentioned earlier:  If you are on a tight budget and can only afford a few of the Resources listed above, be sure to get "The Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet"  and  "The Secrets to Email Marketing" .  These two products alone will provide you with tones of powerful strategies and tools needed to make lots of money on the Internet. 

Finally, whether you are new to the Internet game or have had a web page for years, the third resource you absolutely need is a software program called Mailloop.  It fully automates your Internet business by answering/replying to every email that is sent to you or your website.  Plus Mailloop automatically sends out emails, newsletters, subscriptions, etc at scheduled times so you don't have to send them manually.  It's easy to use and a great time saver!  It's like having an full-time employee without the cost of paying them.  It's a must!

But remember - no matter what type of internet business you're current in or planning to start, make sure to allow customers to pay for your products using Credit Card options such as "PayPal" or "Charge E-Today". It's more convenient for your customers and it will increase your overall sales and profits.

The Internet and its profit potential can truly create the wealth we all dream about. You just need the right internet tools and resources such as the ones listed above. Best of Luck to all of you and be sure to email me when you start recognizing the absolute power of the Internet to increase sales.  I am sure I will hear from you very soon!
