The Key Ingredients for Internet Success
by Shelley Lowery
The Internet has opened a whole New World of opportunity for even
the smallest home-based business owner. There are countless numbers
of new self-made millionaires that
achieved their newfound success on the Internet. These new
millionaires are no different from you and I. They started their
Internet businesses from the ground up, found a niche
and built their success one day at a time.
“Can I really make money on the Internet?” The fact of the
matter is that you really can make money on the Internet --a lot of
money. You simply must take the necessary steps to make it happen.
You must have a sincere desire to succeed and the attitude for
success.
If you are sincerely passionate about your success, you will succeed
-- it's that simple.
The true secret to creating a successful Internet business, is pure
determination. Most people fail just at the moment they are about to
succeed. Why? -- Because they give up. They lack the true passion
that it takes to succeed. As long as you keep trying, you'll never
fail.
Below, is list of
what I feel are the most important ingredients for Internet success:
Sincere Passion
In order to be successful, you must be completely passionate about
your business and your success. If you don't have a
"sincere" passion, you won't have the necessary personal
drive that it takes to succeed.
Your Own Domain (www.yourdomain.com)
Businesses hosted on a free server are not taken seriously and are
generally considered to be unprofessional. If a company doesn't care
enough about its business to get its own domain name, potential
customers may not feel comfortable doing business with them. A
company with its
own domain name and a professional looking website will have a much
higher rate of success when compared with most business sites hosted
on free servers.
Professional Website
Your website is a direct reflection of you and your business.
Creating a professional website designed to sell will take a great
deal of time and effort, as there is much more to take into
consideration than design. You must look at a much broader picture
and specifically design your
website to sell.
Quality Content
In order to create a steady stream of traffic to your website, you
must give your visitors a reason to visit and continue to visit in
the future. You must provide your visitors with fresh content on a
continual basis.
Targeted Traffic
No matter how great your website is, unless you're receiving
quality, targeted traffic, it will be useless. Your website may
receive hundreds of visitors each day. However, if they aren't
interested in the products or services you're offering, your web
traffic won't mean a thing. You must drive a continuous stream of
targeted traffic to your website.
Opt-in List (Ezine)
Having your own publication is an absolute essential part of your
success. They not only provide you with a direct line of
communication with potential customers and enable you to promote
your products or services, but they also build credibility.
Your Own In-Demand Product
Although marketing affiliate programs can provide you with a nice
income, true Internet profits come from marketing your own in-demand
product.
Killer Sales Copy
Your words are the entire foundation of your business. Your product,
website and marketing strategies all depend upon your words. You
must learn how to write persuasive words specifically written for
your targeted customer. You must feel your customers needs and write
your copy with passion, excitement and benefit.
Killer Marketing Strategy
Developing a successful marketing strategy is an essential part of
your online success. In order to succeed, you must develop and
implement a strategic plan that includes all of the following:
• A great product
• A website
specifically designed to sell
• A killer
marketing strategy
Each step plays an important role in your overall strategy and must
be developed to its fullest potential. If even one step fails, your
chances of success will be minimal.
Instant Product Delivery (downloadable, instant access, etc.)
Internet users are starving for information, as that is what the
Internet is all about. They have a sincere desire to learn and want
the information they desire right now.
The best products to sell on the Internet are those that can be
instantly delivered over the Internet.
Accept Credit Cards
If you're doing business on the Internet, accepting credit cards is
an absolute must. You must provide your visitors with an easy online
ordering process and the ability to pay for their order right
online.
Credibility
As an Internet entrepreneur, it is your personal responsibility to
ensure that your visitors feel very
comfortable with you and your website. In order to gain your
visitors' trust and confidence, you must build your credibility.
Your attitude is the MOST important factor in determining your
success. You MUST think positively and be willing to tackle any
obstacle that comes along. The fact is, you CAN do whatever you put
your mind to. You simply have to believe you can and believe in
yourself above all else.

6.) Ask Susan
***********************************************
This week’s Question was submitted by:
Deborah Reid
Q. Do you have a script I can use on my website to keep hackers from
taking software when they've not paid for it?
A. Deborah, the best way to go about this is to “encrypt”
the source code on the page(s) that contain links to downloads or
thank you pages. This scrambles the code so that thieves are unable
to read it. We have used a program called HTML Code Guard on our
sites and it works pretty well. We’ve added the software to the
Fre~ebies page at the Partners in Success site. You can grab it
here:

Also check out Webmaster Toolkit, Black Label 2 which contains
numerous scripts for hiding your source code. You’ll find it on
the fre~ebies page as well.
