10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BID ON A
10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BID ON A
BUSINESS PRODU
by: larry dotson
1. know the value of the product before you bid.
IF
the product is brand new, check to see what
price
RETAILERS ARE CHARGING FOR IT. IF THE PRODUCT IS
used or
reconditioned, you will want to pay way less
THAN THE
retail value.
2. IF THE PRODUCT'S DESCRIPTION OR PICTURE ISN'T
detailed
enough for you, contact the merchant to get more
INFORMATION BEFORE YOU BID. YOU DON'T WANT TO
take a
chance to waste your hard earned money.
3. know the highest price you will bid for the
product
AND STICK WITH IT. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN A
bidding war;
you may end up paying more than the product's
WORTH.
don't forget to add in the shipping price with
your bid.
4. visit a few online auctions before bidding
because
SOME MERCHANTS AUCTION THE SAME PRODUCT IN MANY
auctions. you usually can purchase the product
for
A LOWER PRICE IN A UNPOPULAR AUCTION BECAUSE
there
are less bidders.
5. know the time the auction begins and ends.
you
ALSO WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO SHIP.
if
you need the product by a certain date, you'll
WANT
to estimate the time it will take to receive it.
6. KNOW THE PAYMENT OPTIONS THE MERCHANT ACCEPTS
before you bid on their product. if they only
accept
CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS, IT MAY TAKE EVEN LONGER
to
get the product because the payment has to
CLEAR. IF
they accept credit cards make sure they have a
secure
SERVER.
7. know if the merchant offers a warranty or
MONEY
back guarantee or before bidding on a product.
you
DON'T WANT TO GET STUCK WITH A PRODUCT THAT DOES
not
work or you're not satisfied with.
8. online auctions will, sometimes, allow you to
check
THE MERCHANTS HISTORY WITH THEIR AUCTION. CHECK
to see
if people have complained about the their
PRODUCTS OR
business practices before you decide to bid.
9. IT'S IMPORTANT TO PLACE A BID EARLY IN THE
auction to
show other bidders you are interested in the
PRODUCT.
if someone does out bid you, don't be afraid to
out
BID THEM. REMEMBER NOT TO GO OVER YOUR MAXIMUM
bid price.
10. ANOTHER REASON TO KNOW WHEN THE AUCTION
ends;
you can place a last minute bid. the other
BIDDERS
may not be keeping track of when the auction
ends
OR MAY NOT HAVE THE TIME TO BID AGAIN.

10 KEYS TO CREATING A PROFITABLE ONLINE BUSINESS
10 KEYS TO CREATING A PROFITABLE ONLINE BUSINESS
BY: JAN PETERSON
starting an online business is not always as
easy as it may sound. but, running an online
BUSINESS HAS MANY BENEFITS OVER ITS OFFLINE
counterpart. first, and the most appealing, is
you'll most likely be working from home from
YOUR OWN COMPUTER, AND WORKING THE HOURS THAT
suit you. and secondly, you have the potential
to make a lot more money than you would if you
WERE WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
before embarking on an online entrepreneurial
QUEST FOR THE PERFECT HOME-BASED BUSINESS, IT'S
advisable to look at the array of online
business opportunities available, and decide
WHICH WOULD BE THE MOST SUITABLE FOR YOU. WHILE
it's quite conceivable, that the most profitable
and legitimate type of online businesses can be
OPERATED SUCCESSFULLY BY ONE PERSON, MOST
involve a collaboration of skills and input.
FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, MAKING MONEY ONLINE IS A
very real prospect, but there are some important
factors that should be considered before taking
THAT FIRST VITAL STEP.
1. should you sell a service?
unless you have a well-developed skill such as,
web design, graphics design, writing or some
OTHER CREATIVE OR ARTISTIC FLAIR, YOU'LL HAVE TO
concentrate on finding or creating a product.
IN SELLING YOUR SERVICES, YOU MUST FIRST
determine whether a paying market actually
exists for your services. initially, you'll need
TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND LOOK AT SIMILAR SERVICES
being offered. a good indicator is usually when
there are numerous similar services available.
THIS WOULD SUGGEST A BUOYANT MARKET, BUT IT'S
not always the case. a friendly yet inquisitive
email sent to a few established service
PROVIDERS IN THE BUSINESS YOU'RE CONSIDERING,
should give you an insight.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE EXISTING COMPETITION.
look at the quality of their work. could you do
it better? what prices are they charging? could
YOU DO IT CHEAPER? IF YOU CAN EFFECTIVELY DO
either of these you're on your way to building
online wealth.
2. should you sell a product?
MORE PEOPLE THAN EVER BUY PRODUCTS ONLINE, BUT
the main thing to consider is whether you want
to sell a tangible product or a virtual product.
as with selling a service, you must first
determine whether a market exists for your
PRODUCT. LOOK AT SIMILAR PRODUCTS THEN DECIDE
whether there's room for another player. all
products will have to be sold through a website,
FROM WHICH AN ORDER CAN BE TAKEN AND A PAYMENT
can be processed. if you have the knowledge and
necessary skills, you can easily build the
WEBSITE YOURSELF. OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY
a professional.
A TANGIBLE PRODUCT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE HELD
in the hand, therefore it will also need to be
packed and shipped. processing orders is very
TIME CONSUMING, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU MAY
have to keep inventory, which can be very
expensive plus you'll need to find storage
SPACE.
an alternative is to sell virtual products.
THESE INCLUDE DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOKS, VIDEOS AND
information products. you'll still need a
website with ordering and credit card processing
FACILITIES, BUT YOU WILL NOT NEED TO KEEP ANY
inventory and it won't take up any space (except
on your computer's hard drive) many successful
INTERNET MARKETERS USE THIS METHOD TO MAXIMUM
effect.
3. SELLING SOMEONE ELSE'S PRODUCT
some of the best online business opportunities
ARE VERY SIMPLE TO SET UP AND RUN. THE FIRST OF
these is affiliate marketing. you simply find
some existing products that are being
SUCCESSFULLY SOLD ON THE INTERNET, AND SIGN UP
for their affiliate program. basically, this is
straight-forward process. you complete an online
APPLICATION FORM AND YOU'RE GIVEN A REFERENCE
number, which you can embed into your marketing
links. the host company will also track your
SALES AND PAY YOU COMMISSIONS. ALL YOU HAVE TO
do is sell their products.
SOME PEOPLE GO OVERBOARD ON AFFILIATE PROGRAMS,
trying to sell anything and everything they can
sign up for. it's advisable to concentrate on a
FEW RELATED ITEMS SUCH AS E-BOOKS ON A SIMILAR
subject. when that enterprise begins to make
money online, start all over again with a set of
DIFFERENT PRODUCTS. WITH CAREFUL CONSIDERATION
and clever marketing, affiliate programs can be
the perfect way of making money online. a good
PLACE TO START IS WWW.CLICKBANK.COM
4. buying a business or franchise
if you'd prefer to buy a readymade business,
there are many to choose from. some established
AND PROFITABLE INTERNET BUSINESSES WILL GLADLY
sell you a franchise. this will most likely be a
clone of their existing business, but beware!
OWNING A FRANCHISE BUSINESS ON THE INTERNET WILL
prove useless unless you have territorial
rights. the problem with online franchises is
YOUR LIMITATIONS ON WHAT YOU CAN SELL. YOU MUST
sign an agreement with the franchisor, that you,
the franchisee will only sell their range of
PRODUCTS. CHECK OUT THE VARIOUS FRANCHISE
opportunities at
www.usatoday.franchisesolutions.com
5. online investment opportunities
NOT STRICTLY A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, BUT
investing in real estate or stocks and shares
has become big business in itself. the internet
HAS OPENED UP ALL KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR
investors, and it's so easy to go online and
find stock brokers willing to advise you where
TO PUT YOUR HARD-EARNED CASH FOR THE MAXIMUM
return. the big consideration with investing is
to remember that prices can fall just as quickly
AS THEY RISE. FOR ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED
on investments, visit www.investorguide.com
6. FINDING THE RIGHT MARKET
whatever service or product you decide to offer
YOUR ONLINE CUSTOMERS, YOU MUST FIRST ESTABLISH
whether there's a need for it. if there is,
you'll have to work on an effective strategy of
GETTING YOUR PRODUCT IN FRONT OF YOUR PROSPECT
ahead of the competition.
IT'S BEEN PROVEN TIME AND AGAIN THAT SMALL IS
big. the small or niche market has been
responsible for many people making a nice profit
FROM THE INTERNET. IT'S AS WELL TO REMEMBER,
that a niche market on the internet could number
well over a million potential customers. just 5%
OF A MARKET THIS SIZE, EACH BUYING A PRODUCT
with a $10 profit margin, would return $500,000
in profits.
A FEW EXAMPLES OF NICHE MARKETS MIGHT BE:
holidays for singles over 40, sports and fashion
wear for children 6-24 months or easy car
MAINTENANCE FOR LADY DRIVERS.
7. online auctions
the phenomenal success of online auctions, ebay
in particular, is unprecedented. not only are
THE ONLINE AUCTION COMPANIES MAKING LARGE
profits, they give everyone an opportunity to
sell something to anyone anywhere in the world.
FROM FASHION ACCESSORIES TO COLLECTIBLES AND
sports equipment to memorabilia, there appears
to be a market, although limited, for
EVERYTHING.
the key to success here is to buy wholesale and
SELL VOLUME. WHEN YOU'VE GOT TO THE POINT OF
making good money from online auctions, simply
write a book and tell everyone else how you did
IT. TO GET STARTED IN ONLINE AUCTIONS, GO TO
ebay, click on wholesale, buy some stock and
resell individually back on ebay.
8. paid surveys
SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT CONSIDER CLICKING BOXES
alongside questions a valid business
opportunity. but if you consider it work, and
THE SURVEY COMPANIES ARE WILLING TO PAY YOU,
then it must be a form of business to be
considered. it's something almost anyone can do,
DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE OR
skill and can be done from anywhere.
THE DOWNSIDE IS, IT'S TEDIOUS AND WON'T MAKE YOU
a fortune. how

YOU'VE BUILT YOUR WEBSITE AND YOU'RE QUITE PROUD
of it. the graphics look nice, it has a few
interesting pieces of information and it
SHOWCASES YOUR SUBJECT PERFECTLY. BUT HOW DO YOU
draw people to it and get that hit counter
climbing without breaking the bank? you've got
YOUR META TAGS IN PLACE BUT YOU JUST CAN'T
afford to pay the humungous fee to be a featured
advertiser on a mega-search engine. here are a
FEW EASY AND QUICK WAYS TO PUBLICIZE YOUR
website which are either cheap or free.
1. LINK EXCHANGES
one of the most effective ways to get traffic
MOVING INTO YOUR SITE IS TO LIST IT AS A LINK ON
other sites of interest to your target market.
if you don't already know of another site
SIMILAR TO YOURS, JUST DO A GOOGLE SEARCH USING
a few appropriate keywords. by using google to
do a search on the words "link exchange" you
WILL ALSO FIND ENTIRE SITES - SOME FREE, SOME
with a fee - with directories of sites willing
to exchange links. once you find a site, see if
THEY HAVE A LINKS PAGE AND SCAN IT TO MAKE SURE
yours would be a good fit. usually instructions
on exchanging links are somewhere on the
WEBSITE, BUT IF THEY'RE NOT SIMPLY E-MAIL THE
webmaster or site owner and ask if they have a
link exchange program. be sure your site does
NOT COMPETE WITH THEIRS. AFTER ALL, YOU WILL
have to reciprocate with a link to their site on
your own. corporate sites don't normally do link
EXCHANGES, YOU WILL HAVE MUCH BETTER LUCK WITH A
site owned by an individual or small business.
if you don't have a banner, you can create one
FOR FREE ONLINE. A VERY USER-FRIENDLY SITE FOR
this is www.addesigner.com, but there are
several others out there as well.
2. join a web-ring
WEB-RINGS ARE A WAY OF DRIVING TRAFFIC TO YOUR
site from others similar to yours. you simply
place a web-ring banner on your home page using
SPECIFIED HTML CODE AND YOU'RE AUTOMATICALLY
part of the network. when a visitor clicks on
the web-ring banner at one member's site, they
ARE DIRECTED TO THE NEXT SITE IN THE WEB-RING,
potentially yours. there are some things to
consider when joining a web-ring. for example,
WHEN ONE OF YOUR SITE'S VIEWERS CLICKS ON YOUR
web-ring banner, they are being directed off
your site onto someone else's. if you join a
WEB-RING, FIND ONE MATCHING THE INTERESTS OF
your target market that doesn't have a large
number of members competing with you. for
EXAMPLE, IF YOUR SITE SELLS AQUARIUMS, JOIN A
site for tropical fish enthusiasts rather than
one with for people who sell pet products.
3. host a contest
EVERYONE LOVES TO WIN A CONTEST, AND IF YOURS
offers something of value to your target market
you can spark a lot of interest. the prize
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BIG - MAYBE A $10.00 GIFT
certificate, a set of books, a pretty piece of
jewelry you purchased on closeout, or of course
ONE OF YOUR PRODUCTS. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET
prize donations from your link partners or
others in your network simply by offering them
CREDIT AND A LINK ON YOUR SITE THROUGHOUT THE
contest. it's also smart to offer extra entries
to a contestant if they refer someone else -
WORD OF MOUTH (OR E-MAIL) IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL!
4. win an award
this may take some legwork on your part, but it
could be well worth it in the end. if your site
IS RICH IN CONTENT AND APPEALING TO THE EYE, YOU
have a good chance of winning some sort of web
award. simply do your google search on "website
AWARD" OR "SITE OF THE DAY" AND RESEARCH THE
links for application procedures. if you win,
the payoff will be the privilege of posting an
AWARD BANNER ON YOUR HOME PAGE FOR ALL TO SEE.
the site hosting the award will literally be
sending visitors to you by way of a link.
5. put a link in your signature line
THE EASIEST AND QUICKEST WAY TO GET PUBLICITY
for your site is to put a link in your signature
line. every e-mail you send will announce your
SITE, AND INCLUDING AN ENTICING ONE-LINE AD SUCH
as "enter our contest to win a $10.00 gift
certificate" will likely increase your traffic.
6. join an e-mail group
IN CASE YOU AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH E-MAIL GROUPS,
they are basically networks of people with a
common interest or purpose, using e-mail to
COMMUNICATE TO EACH OTHER. USING A SINGLE E-MAIL
address, you can send a message to a whole group
of people with interests similar to yours. rest
ASSURED, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR TARGET MARKET IS,
there is an e-mail group for it. it is important
to keep in mind that most frown upon advertising
AND ALL BAN SPAMMING, HOWEVER YOU ARE USUALLY
allowed to put a link in your signature line and
make special announcements. just be sure you
ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISCUSSION - DON'T
just assume you can use the list for free
advertising or you will be shunned very quickly.
TWO OF THE MOST POPULAR WEBSITES FOR E-MAIL
groups are yahoo groups
(http://groups.yahoo.com) and topica
(HTTP://WWW.TOPICA.COM), BOTH OF WHICH OFFER
free memberships.
7. PUBLISH A NEWSLETTER
it can be sent daily, weekly, bi-weekly or
MONTHLY, BUT BE SURE YOU SEND IT OUT ON A
regular basis. mine is published weekly on
fridays without fail. my readers have learned to
LOOK FOR IT AND I'D NEVER CONSIDER LETTING THEM
down by missing a deadline. aside from being
consistent, it is a cardinal rule to offer
SOMETHING OF VALUE TO YOUR READERSHIP. DON'T USE
it solely as a venue for advertising - there are
plenty of places to put text links and banner
ADS WITHIN IT. TO MAINTAIN READERS, YOU WILL
need to include some helpful information as
well. if you aren't much of a writer, there are
ARTICLES AVAILABLE ON THE WEB THAT ARE FREE FOR
publication, providing you include a link to the
writer's website and a promotional paragraph. if
YOU HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING THESE, CONSIDER
posting a call for submissions on writers'
websites offering $5.00 and free promotion via a
BYLINE. YOU WILL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED HOW
many people respond with fresh and well-written
ideas.
8. purchase advertising
THINK ADVERTISING IS EXPENSIVE? THINK AGAIN.
there are countless inexpensive opportunities
for advertising on the internet. start by
LOOKING FOR SITES WHICH TARGET THE SAME MARKET
you do, providing they don't directly compete
with yours. chances are they have a link for
PEOPLE INTERESTED IN ADVERTISING ON THEIR SITE.
if you can't find it, simply e-mail the
webmaster or site owner and inquire. another
OPTION IS TO DO A SEARCH ON EBAY. MANY SITES PUT
banner ad placement on auction. you can find ad
spots on ebay for as little as $5.99, but
REMEMBER, IT IS AN AUCTION, AND SOMEONE COULD
easily beat you out. i recently saw a banner ad
auction get up to $269.00. don't forget however,
BECAUSE IT'S AN AUCTION, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO
limit the amount you will pay a your maximum
bid. it is important to have a banner ready to
GO, SINCE YOU WILL USUALLY NEED TO OBTAIN
permission from the website's owner before
bidding on the auction. always read the terms of
THE AUCTION CAREFULLY, TO MAKE SURE YOU
understand the dates your banner will be up and
exactly where it will be placed.
9. promoting your business using an online
network
