Internet Business

Internet Business setup can be a lot of work, especially the first (or second or third) time around.

It looks easy  - when other people do it, especially when they have experience.

The fact is though, that it is a lot of work, and there is a lot to know to make it successful.

I hope this does not come as a shock to you. [click to continue…]

Internet Business Traffic: the Fastest Way

by doug on 19 April, 2009

Internet Business Traffic: many internet business owners find this to be their biggest single challenge.

No traffic, no business.  Its the same for an internet business as it is for a bricks and mortar business – you’ve got to get customers though the door.There are many ways to drive traffic.  Some are free, others are quite expensive.

You do have to factor in time – how much time you spend building your business, which is important, and how much time you spend waiting to see if your business will work, which is even more important.

In a previous post, I talked about web traffic, why you need it fast.

That is why this article focuses on a single method for driving traffic – the fastest way.

Internet Business Growth by Repetition

by Doug Samuel on 18 April, 2009

Internet business growth comes from repeating a few simple steps over and over again, with consistency.

This may sound boring.  There are aspects to an internet business that are tedious, just like anything else.

Many if not most tedious aspects of an internet business can by automated.  There are things you have to do consistently over time though.  These activities need not be tedious if you are in the right business for you. [click to continue…]

Internet business traffic can take a while to build up.

Most people want to be at the top of Google for the all of the key words that are relevant to their internet business.   In most cases, this is extremely difficult – it requires skill to achieve, and time for search engine optimization methods to work.  Mean while, your competition is trying to get to the top as well.

The biggest problem with depending on search engine optimization and other similar long-term web traffic techniques is that it takes time for them to start working, and results are by no means certain.

Meanwhile, you are wasting time and losing opportunity.  If it takes several months, or several years to garner significant traffic though long term traffic building techniques, you have lost a lot of opportunity for your business.  While you are waiting for traffic to build, you aren’t making any money.

Internet business requires traffic, which requires articles on your blog.  And in your newsletter.  And in article directories.  Leveraging social media such as Twitter doesn’t harm either.

As a business owner, you are busy, so how do you keep on top of all of this.

One key value worth tracking is the time visitors spend on your site, and on each page.

How long should a visitor be spending on your site?

That depends on your site, the purpose of your site, and how your internet business works. [click to continue…]

Internet Business Systems

by doug on 15 April, 2009

Internet business systems are the key to your success.  They make it possible to expand your business many times with little impact on the work you have to do.  In other words, systems make your business scalable.

The internet lends itself very naturally to turning every aspect of your internet business into a system.  This is because the internet is run entirely by computers, and computers are designed to operate a system.

Lets review the basic components of an internet business:

  • Traffic
  • Conversion
  • Sales transaction

Notice that “website” is missing from the list.  The website is where you send traffic to, and it is responsible for containing the information that persuades visitors to buy.  It has a support function.  Think of it that way, and you will avoid the many pitfalls of web design, such as making it pretty and “cool” rather than easy to use and a conversion machine.

Internet Business Accelerator Blog has a new WordPress theme as of 14 April 2009.

The theme is temporary, I haven’t developed a proper theme yet.

It is a big improvement on the previous theme, which didn’t actually work properly.

The new theme looks better and behaves better.  It might be a bit slow though.

Watch out for a new theme and header in the near future.

Meanwhile, tell me what you think of this one: what do you like?  Anything you don’t like?
