In Part 5 of this series I implored you to make building a list your number one objective in your web site monetisation strategy.

April 11, 2008
When I first started my research into the Internet Marketing niche, I thought that I might concentrate on two things.
The first was selling resell rights products. After all… someone else has already gone to the trouble of creating it, so you don’t have to! All you have to do is sell it… and rake in […]

April 9, 2008
For your information to be seen on the ‘net, it must be “hosted” on a computer permanently connected to the Internet. That computer uses special web server software, which allows your web pages to be shown to people who want to see them in their web browser.
There are many places you can host your web […]

Through your research, you must get to know your niche very, very closely. What do the people (i.e. your potential customers) in it want, expect, and actually get? How are the other players in the niche marketing “to” them?
Are you listening to what your market is saying? (This is an excellent post by Terry Dean […]
Why I “Hate” E-Commerce (Catalog) Sites
April 7, 2008
Maybe “hate” is a little strong… but I definitely “dislike” e-commerce/catalog type sites for lots of reasons…
But mainly these three:
Problem #1 - Product, Product, Product

In Part 1 of this series I encouraged you to look very closely at your background and the skillset you have which may help (or hinder) your online business.
You should have also looked at “why” you want to set up online… your motivations for doing it! Because when you choose something you are truly passionate […]

So Whats YOUR Plan?
March 29, 2008
That was the subject of an email I received earlier this week from Peggy Baron. In that email, she outlined the plan she has developed for the future of her Internet business!
Now this is important, because as you may have already discovered, there’s a mind-boggling array of internet business models you “could” follow…
It is so […]
What’s Your Email Address Say About You?
March 28, 2008
Having your email addresses set up correctly will make a big difference to the perceived “professionalism” of your online business, and help you win the battle over spam!
For example, would you rather deal with:
1. someone @ your-isp.com
OR
2. yourname @ your-own-domain.com
I think you know which one looks better from a business viewpoint
Using ISP Based […]
