How To Make Money
Online
We could never write enough
articles about how to make money with a website.
Everyone thinks you open a
website and the money shows up in the mail. Of course anyone with
any resonable level of sanity knows better.
We have people getting rich
running retail businesses and we have people that make nothing
and do nothing but complain that they are not making money.
Recently a discussion with a
customer that had a website up for 3 months revealed that they
had 10 sales in that time solely generated by the website.
That alone is nothing to wite
home about. Or is it?
Approximately $30 in
investment resulted in 10 customer sales. No matter how you look
at it, that number is strong.
And, not only did the website
do the advertising, it also processed the sales and completed the
transactions.
But 10 sales of about $50 each
is not going to make anyone rich. But there is not other medium
that can produce the same results for such a small investment.
To increase that income, you
need to reach beyond the website.
You should never expect the
website to do the work for you. You need to push customers to the
website so the website can process the sales. If the website
earns sales on its own, that is a bonus.
The fact that this web
hasoting client had done nothing and had sales is pure proof that
the website does work. Unfortunately, the hosting client didn't
do anything but wait for sales.
As a company that makes 100%
of its income providing web services of some sort, we know you
can make insane amounts of money online.
But you still need to work.
You still need to advertise. Our hosting clients don't show up,
we find them and advertise as much as our resources permit.
Like any website, pageBuzz
will bring in it's own hosting clients, but not enough to pay the
bills. The system earns more than a substantial income, but
through extensive efforts to bring in new clients.
If we sat back and waited, we
would be waiting for our first customer.
If you start a new website,
its nothing without some promotion.
If you wait for Mr Google to
bring in buyers, you will be wasting your time. Not that you wont
get buyers, because in all likelyhood, you will. But not the
numbers you certianly desire.
If you run 1 ad and you get 3
sales. It just makes sense if you run 3 times as many ads, you
get 3 times as many sales.
The advantage of a website is
that the cost is low. So anyone with $10 a month to spend can
start an online business. But if you only spend $10, don't expect
much more than that back out of the website.
If you spend an extensive
amount of time online promoting your products then you will get
some benefit from that.
You don't have to spend hard
cash to make money. But you do have to make more of an effort
than waiting around to get rich.
