Category: Entrepreneurship | Date: 2002-05-30 |
Have you recently started an affiliate or networking business to little or no response? Do you feel like youve wasted your time and money? Are you considering throwing in the towel? Only a small fraction of people who start an affiliate or networking biz make more than a few hundred dollars a month, but this doesnt have to be you. There are thousands of dollars waiting to be made out there. The trick is to take those first steps that will put your business head and shoulders above the crowd
First, work your warm market, the people you know. These can be family, friends, co-workers, or people you know online. Its important that you start off with a base of people you know and trust, otherwise you may end up feeling like a door to door salesman. Once youve established solid business relationships with your own people, you will be better able to sell your idea to others
Next, advertise online and in networking and mail order publications. Have your information ready to send via email so you can reach interested people fast.
Next, create a relationship with online editors. Find a few ezines which feature articles related to your business. Write to the editors and thank them for an article you thought was interesting (be sincere, editors can spot a phony a mile away.) Include your business opportunity in the signature file of your letter. People always ask business editors for advice, and you want your name on the tips of their tongues.
Finally, build an effective website. So much business is done on the web today that if you dont have a great website, youre really selling yourself short. Even if you arent computer savvy, dont be afraid of setting up a site. There are tons of talented and inexpensive web designers out there just dusting for work.
So remember, start with people you know, your friends are your best assets. Use the web, it truly reaches millions. And finally, make a great website, a standout website can make a huge difference in sales. Follow these steps, and in a few months you will find your business booming like you never thought possible.
