Think like your customers to stay in business the longest
As more and more people are out of work they are turning to the internet to find money. Unfortunately most of them fall for scams and schemes that don’t have a chance of working. But we all have to learn the hard way whether by wasted time or wasted money.
I got started in the get rich quick mentality with those chain letters. I was sure I’d make a fortune by copying and sending out letters asking for $1. I spend about $250 and made back about $15. It was a hard lesson and taught me to be smarter and think about my target markets.
The same is true when working online. Even though you can’t see your customers they still think and feel, and in ways both the same and different from you. When selling on Ebay you should consider what kind of information you would want to see on a listing. Too little info won’t close the sale, or will close it at a much lower price.
When building a network of affiliate websites the same is true. What are you selling? What product information do your customers need? They won’t use your affiliate link to buy unless you give them enough reason to want to buy and give them a direct path to do it.
Working online is still work. Yes, you can do it at home which is time and money saving, but you still must work and put in long hours sometimes. It’s not a path to quick riches, but it is a path to steady income if you do it right.
