Internet Business..Just set up the store and wait?Written by Meredith Gossland
Some people are spreading harmful rumors about how easy an internet business is. Set up a site, and people will come in droves. You'll get hundreds,thousands, millions of hits a day!Nothing can be further from truth. Think carefully, then go slowly into cyber space and most of all have realistic expectations. Like any other business, marketing is 90% of sales. Without marketing you have nothing. Hundreds of millions of web sites exist on internet. You are truly just a speck in virtual universe. Here are a few facts for you to think about. 1. Most people will not search past first 3 pages of a search engine. If each page lists 25 sites that is a total of 75 places. 2. Most of top 75 sites are pay per click sites. This means two things if you are #1 or #2. First,you will get most clicks and second, not everybody who clicks shops. If 1,000 people visit your site everyday and you are paying $0.11 per click figure it out......that is about $3,000 a month rent for # one slot on a search engine.
| | Vending Machines and the Lure of the Instant Home Based BusinessWritten by Mike Corbin
If you are considering vending machines as a home based business here are three very brief facts about vending. 1) Vending machines will start to earn revenue for your home based business almost immediately. 2) A brand new, high quality machine is actually very inexpensive. 3) Any machine at right location has very realistic possibility of paying for itself well within one year. These three simple facts are from my 8 years of experience owning a vending business. I remember day my first machine went into a location. It was a cigarette machine and after we hung it up on wall in bar we sat around and had a few beers. Within 30 minutes after we were done I watched my first customer walk up to my machine and buy a pack of cigarettes. I saw instant cash flow happen, and it was wonderful. I overpaid for that machine. It should have cost me only $2,400.00 plus tax, but instead I paid over $8,000.00 because I dealt with a business opportunity company and they gave me a location when I bought that machine from them. I can tell you, there is nothing more satisfying than watching someone put money into your vending machine. When I watched my first customer buy from me, last thing I thought about was how much I spent, my business was now making money!
