How much does it cost to start an internet business ?

Posted by Rohan Rossouw under Most Asked Questions & Answers

Before we even start with this topic I would like to state that there is NO business out there that is worth doing if it is free….
 
It has never been easier to setup an internet business from the comfort of your own home.The internet literally opened up thousands of legitimate business opportunities.
 
One of the biggest misconceptions that people have is that the internet is free.There is no such thing as a free business,if someone claims that ,be very careful.
 
The positive side is that starting an internet business can be done with very little start-up costs compared to a brick and mortar business.
 
First off,you would need the obvious such as a pc/laptop and internet. If you don’t have that COUNT it towards your start-up capital before you make an informed decision about starting up an internet business. 
 
Secondly ,you would need to purchase some system that you can follow to profit with your internet business.The system that I am using was $349.
 
Thirdly, you would need to set aside monthly fees for hosting and advertising.The system that I’m using cost around $149 per month and I also set aside about $300 per month for advertising.
 
The nice thing about the internet is that you can market your products in a lot of free ways such as articles,videos,forums and social media to name a few.
 
So lets count it all up assuming that you already have a laptop and access to the internet and that you are making use of free advertising methods.
 
Once-off cost for the system = $ 349
Monthly fees for hosting = $149 
 
This is an example of one of the thousands of systems available out there.These fees include everything you need to start your own internet business within a few days.These fees also includes training,websites and products.There are higher investment opportunities available within the system but this is the only fees required to start your internet business.

This is why only a few people make money….

Posted by Rohan Rossouw under Business Tips

This is why only a few people make money on the Internet

Have you ever wondered why only a few guys are really making money on the Internet compared to the millions of people that are signing up every day to some sort of home Internet business ?
 
What are these guys doing to make a success of it ? That is an important question and the exact opposite of what the majority are doing that cause them to fail within the first 30 days of any Internet business ?
 
The majority of people tend to make the same mistakes.Avoid them and you could be one of the few to actually make money on the internet.
 
Mistake 1 : Laziness
 
Some people think that they can simply plug into a system and that the system will do the rest.The truth is your work only start after you have purchased the system.There is no such system out there that you can simply purchase and sit back and think you are going to make money on the internet.If anyone claims that,stay far away!
 
Mistake 2 : Taking to much time to plan
 
Although planning is very important,it is crucial to also DO.You can not buy a system and plan the whole time.That will not generate any leads.You actually have to DO some marketing in order to generate business.Make sure to plan properly BUT also to do what you have planned.You wont make money on the internet JUST by planning all of the time.
 
Mistake 3 : Misconception of an Internet business
 
Any Internet business is the same as a brick and mortar business.It takes time and money to start and grow.People tend to think that it is a quick and cheap route to start a business.It is not and if you don’t allow at least 12 months of consistent hard work ,don’t even try to get involved in any internet business.
 
Mistake 4 : Information Overload
 
There are a lot of very valuable marketing strategies that you will learn from these available Internet systems.The problem is that people get an “information overload”
What do they do next ? Cancel the membership and jump to the new best thing……Why ? Because most people are too lazy to learn new stuff PLUS it is much easier to give up than to work out a daily schedule.These guys try to learn everything in one day,which is impossible.You need to draft a daily schedule and learn the skills bit by bit,day by day in order to be successful.
 
Mistake 5 : Perseverance
 
Arguably the biggest mistake is that people give up just before the breakthrough! Keep working your business for at least 12 months before you even start to think of giving up.The grass always looks greener on the other side…

The perfect business opportunity for “introverts”

Posted by Rohan Rossouw under Business Opportunities

Now there is hope for people that hate to do sales.There are millions of people that would like to get involved in the most lucrative business available today – network marketing.
The only thing that keep them from getting involved is the sales aspect.Business “introverts” don’t like to pick up a phone and phone people to try and sell something.
 
Funny enough,network marketing is the top home based business opportunity for introverts today.Why ? Because there are now Internet marketing systems available that will enable you to draw people to you business without calling them or without doing any sales pitches.So,if you think that you are to shy or that you don’t have what it takes,look again !
 
Luckily there are plenty of network marketing opportunities that are great for introverted people.The reason : the system is turnkey and automated.
 
This allows you to focus your time and energy to build your Internet business instead of trying to source prospects and try to sell to them.The network marketing opportunities today are much different than 5 years ago.Garage parties,door to door sales,cold calling or hype meetings are “last year” and very outdated.You only deal with people when they contact you and the best thing is that you can do everything through email and Skype.As you can see,the prospecting is 100% automated.A typical workday for you is to sit in the comfort of your own home and to spend time building your business on the Internet.
 
The commissions paid at some top tier direct sales companies are extremely high.This eliminates the fact that you have to build a huge down-line to make some money each month.
You can now focus your time on the quality of your business rather than phoning around trying to fill your down-line with hundreds of people.Your mission would be to attract people with your marketing skills rather trying to sell them something.People don’t like to be sold.If you follow the system step by step and use your own personality and creativity to improve and grow your business ,then you would automatically attract people to what you have to offer.You are now in the position to choose who you want to do business with instead of begging people to purchase products from you which is any ones dream….introvert or not.
 
There is hope for people that hate selling and prospecting
 
The simple solution is to find a system that you are comfortable with,make sure that no calling and prospecting are required.Another good idea is to make sure that the system offers good quality training and trustworthy support.Last but not least,make sure that it is Internet based.Most introverts would like to sit in the comfort of their own homes and make money by spending time on the Internet,not out in the streets knocking on doors for business.

Posted by Rohan Rossouw under Education

Beat the recession, educate yourself to do business on the internet

The most effective educational tool available today is the internet, connecting billions of people to conduct research, find education, seek all sorts of entertainment, explore business opportunities and to do business on the internet.

But as an educational tool, the Internet is unsurpassed in terms of effectiveness and force. Think about it,virtually every major library in the world is connected and online. You can access virtually any information stored in these libraries and read books from media such as your laptop and handheld device.Then there is the power of search engines like Google,Yahoo and Bing, you can type in any word or phrase, and instantly find thousands or millions of related results.

In these days more and more people turn to the internet to seek for ways to do business on the internet. The key here is to recognize the perfect storm of opportunity that has been presented by the recession and hard financial times, combined with the exceptional supremacy and potential of the Internet. When people begin to consider the potential risk that the declining economy poses to them, thousands will explore the opportunity to do business on the internet.

The other thing is that most people know very little or nothing about money.How to acquire,keep and grow. What they do know they may have picked up from family and friends. When times are good this is not really a problem because there’s plenty of money to go around and even though it may not be well spent or well-managed, there’s enough of it. When times are tough, all of this changes. People become concerned and many of these people turn to the Internet for information and directions on how to acquire,keep and grow their finances.

If you can fulfill this need for financial information and education, you’ll be well on your way to securing your own financial future and income. There are many opportunities available online that revolve around providing financial education and consulting to people who are looking for these services. It’s a recession proof market, and an income opportunity that offers major potential for growth and financial freedom.

Don’t wait until the ‘time is right’ start exploring legitimate internet opportunities and change your future today.The way of the future is definitely to do business on the internet.
