A Newbie Trying To Start An Internet Business

I just came across a forum where a newbie was asking what to do, because he wanted to start an online business and had picked 5 niches just to start, but he was needing help.

Here is what I said:

You are trying to pick 5 niches, but I suggest you to study and analyze these niches – there are many free tools and ways – to know which are the most profitable.

It is difficult to manage 5 niches at the same time even if they are related – you are just starting. It takes a lot of time and effort.

Also, you should consider the knowledge you have about this niche, if you can help others. People buy from those that they trust and demonstrate that deliver value. It is Not a sales business, it’s a PEOPLE business.

If you want to build a real online business you should discover your passion, think about:

1.What you love to do.

2.What you are good at.

3.What would you do for free.

4.What would you like and enjoy to teach others.

Once you have discovered your passion you can build your business based on it. Do some researches to see if it can be profitable.

Then you join reference groups and study and learn the most successful people in your niche. You model their businesses and adapt to yours their strategies and methods.

Move forward with baby steps with the goal to meet those that are at the top.

Education, patience, persistence and mindset are the factors that will allow you to achieve your goal.

————————————–

This is one of the most common reasons why people trying to start an online business fail.

They don’t know how and where to start and begin focusing more than one niche – maybe don’t have knowledge about it – thinking that in this way they are going to make more money.

Discover your passion and build your business based on it. You’ll enjoy your work and will make much more money.

First Step To Start An Online Business

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

Everyday many people are joining the Internet, some with the hope to make some extra money, while others with the hope to make a living online.

Most of them are facing a common problem which is that they don’t know how to get started. They don’t have any idea about the first step they have to take.

The first step is changing your Mindset. Many people underestimate this factor and for this simple reason they are having a hard time. It is crucial to start your business with the right mindset.
 
You have to know that it is a business and you have to treat it as such. In order to build and develop a successful business you have to work hard and dedicate time and effort. All the things you need offline you have to incorporate online.

It is important that you understand and believe two well-settled and fundamental laws.

1. All human achievement comes about through bodily activity.

2. All bodily activity is caused, controlled and directed by the mind.

Like all human affairs, success is partly a matter of predestination and partly of free will. You cannot make the genius, but you can improve or destroy it, and most people possess the assets which can be turned into success.

You have to develop the power to assimilate knowledge and to use it.

There are no magic formulas, there are lots of get rich programs out there and maybe you have joined some of them, have you achieved good results? I am sure the answer is No.

Don’t think that it is about having a webpage, posting a few ads and writing some articles. If you think you can make money online – money, not $3, in this way you are completely wrong.

You have to improve your business everyday looking for new strategies, applying small changes and constantly testing. It means you have to work.

Money Without Work, Forget It!

Of course, there are shortcuts, if you can afford a mentor, you accelerate the process because he/she will help you to avoid a lot of mistakes, but keep in mind that your mentor is not going to do the work for you.

Another important thing is that you don’t have to figure out everything yourself, you have to ask help when you need it to solve the problem quicker and better.

Please, don’t think that others can’t do it better than you. You are not a One Man Band, there are things that you are not good at, therefore it will take you time and effort to learn to do these things.
 
It is better if you think about how you can get those things done and not how you can do all those things. You can outsource some work.

You can outsource everything, but NEVER, I say NEVER outsource your marketing.

In the beginning you have to work hard. Working daily, everything will begin to flow easier and it will help you to automate your business and work less.

Understand that you’ll have to spend some money; – registering a domain name, having a webhosting account, having an autoresponder account, etc. Don’t think about using free services for these things, because you have to look professional, if you look like an amateur nobody will pay attention to you.

Before you even think about making money, think about how you can help people. Help everybody you can asking nothing in return.

Don’t be afraid to give away your most valuable strategies and techniques. Give away everything you can with the objective of helping others, it will build your reputation and credibility. Your value will be acknowledged and your market will realize that “You Are The Man.”

If you are not making any money it is because you are not helping enough people. People buy from those that they trust and believe in.

First, you have to give and then you reap the rewards. There is no doubt.

Never under value your self-worth. We are born “free and equal”, yet we are not all born equally rich. But you can be rich by the use of your faculties; by the union of thought with nature.

If you really want to be successful, you have to set your mind upon it, and adopt the proper means.

Your success depends on a plus condition of mind and body, on power of work and on courage.

Repeat after me: I Can I Will, I CAn I WIll, I CAN I WILL.

If you come online with the wrong perspective and attitude, you’ll have a very hard time. You need the right approach to really make money online.

You are not going to make 1 million dollars when you first get started – nobody has made it, it is a progressive process. Go ahead with baby steps with the goal to make that million in the near future.

Your success is a direct result of what you do. It’s not about luck, if you are not getting results, don’t think that luck has been against you.

It is natural when you are getting started to hope, but if hope turns to a belief in luck, it becomes a poison to the mind.

You can create your own destiny if you want. You need passion, education, knowledge, patience and persistence. Act as if you cannot fail. Belief is crucial! I mean, if you believe you can succeed.

Your Mindset is the mechanism that allows you to take full control of your life and business.

Start With The End In Mind

I want to explain you the importance of deadlines because it is critical for your success… Deadlines help you to stay focused and concentrated on your goal.

When you work for someone else many times deadlines are defined for you already, then you go and work on that to have it ready by that time because if it is not done something really bad can happen.

Now that you are working on your own business you have to set deadlines for yourself. Set a goal and a deadline for that goal… When you accomplish it then you set another goal with another deadline.

For example, let’s say that you need to revamp your website, this is your goal, then you set a deadline, it can be 5 days from today.

After you have revamped your website, let’s say you need to work on your newsletters… You do the same – set a deadline for this.

You need to have time and place for everything. Doing the work promptly will accomplish twice as much with half the trouble.

Doing one thing at a time, always meeting appointments with punctuality etc, allows you to save a lot of time and be more productive.

What I want you to understand is that setting deadlines helps you to get things done and move your business forward.

What I want you to do is when you finish reading this article list the 10 most important tasks you have to do on your business. Then, give a priority rate to each one of them – it can be from 1 to 10 or from A to J.

Once you have done this, you set a deadline for your most important task and start to work on it. No matter what happens, it has to be done by the time you set.

Then you set a deadline for your second most important task and do the same.

If you do this, I assure you that you will see your business grow… I tell you this because this is what I do and it works.

Thanks,
