What I Have Learned:
I have learned that, in order, to build a successful and healthy, online, home business, you need four things:
- Traffic
- Sales
- On-going Consumption
- and Replication.
At this time, I will not go over the specific step-by-step process on how to do all
this, but below is a brief overview.
Online, you do not have the luxury of posting a sign in your store-front on a busy road, and gain local traffic(business). Actually, if
you don't market your online business, the chances of getting found
online is virtually non-existent. So, first lesson:
Marketing is key to the life-blood of your business...The Traffic!
Before we continue, I want to give you a brief definition of what business marketing is, so that we are clear on what we are talking about. Simply put,
business marketing is the process, by which, you attract customers to your business, and keep them.
Traffic Is Not Enough:
But, it is not enough to have traffic come to your site. No...you have
to gain the trust of your potential customer, and convince them to buy
from you. This is where you need to learn how to effectively
presell to your customers.

Now,
if you have effectively attracted customers to your business, and you
have pre-sold your visitors, converting them to actual
customers, then that is great. However, you do not become financially
independent off of the sale from one customer. The real money comes
from the on-going consumption of your products. This means that you
need to continually follow-up with your customers to keep them coming
back for more. Basically, you are building a relationship between
yourself and your customers.
The aforementioned are essentials for conducting a successful
business online, however, if you are in network marketing (MLM), then
there is one more step.
You must have a business that others can replicate. In MLM,
you build a business by recruiting others into your "down-line". But,
your success only comes if your down-line is as successful as you. This
means that you need to be able to show them the formula you use to
attract customers, make the sale, and follow-up. You must not forget
this step because the success, or failure, of your down-line directly
affects your bottom-line. The better your down-line does in their
business, the better you do in yours. So, help them out.
Important Note:
A strong customer-base is more important than a large down-line. Always
concentrate on attracting more customers to your online business.
As you can see, building a successful business online is not
as easy as it is made out to be. Actually, it is easy, it just takes a
lot of work, time, and effort. You cannot expect to be a couch-potato,
and reap the benefits of a healthy, successful business.
