Here is the most common question
that I come across in relation to
Internet marketing:
"I can see that there is great potential
for success on the Internet but I am a
beginner. I don't really know where to
start"
Whatever online business or
opportunity you are involved in there
is one essential skill that you will have
to know.
You will need to know HOW TO PLACE
ADVERTS.
Here are some of the things that you
start to learn when you submit ads:
The various locations where you can
place an ad such as newsgroups,
forums, ezines, web sites: and the
different rules and methods used for
each one such as frequency of posting
and size of ads.
How to post information to a mailing
list or newsgroup for free but using a
signature file to promote your
products.
How to code your adverts so that you
can identify where the response
originates.
How to organise your mail files to
handle responses.
How to simplify your own systems so
that you have standard replies to
common questions.
How to set up autoresponders if
necessary to take away the chore of
responding manually.
How to deal with the unexpected (for
example, even though you may
clearly spell out in your ad that a reply
should be made to an autoresponder
many people will still reply directly to
you).
All of this is excellent EXPERIENCE
which will prove invaluable for
whatever online venture you follow.
Now suppose you could pick up this
experience at no cost and earn an
additional income into the bargain !
This would be equivalent of being
trained for a lucrative job where
instead of you having to pay for the
training it's the other way round.
Believe it or not such opportunities are
all around you on the Internet !
They are called 'reselling' operations.
When a company has a product or a
service that they wish to sell they will
often enlist 'resellers' to do the job of
finding customers for them.
You may know a reseller by another
name, for example: agent, associate,
communicator, affiliate.
Once the reseller has managed to get
the customer to make an order his job
ends. The whole process of handling
the order, the collection of payment,
the shipping of goods, is done by the
company (or distributor).
So the job of a reseller can be as simple
as placing ads and commission is paid
on the value of orders made.
If you find a reseller opportunity
where you are not obliged to make
any outlay for your involvement then
you will gain the vital training that you
need - for free - and can get well paid
for it too
