5 Tips To Get Started With an Internet Business Opportunity
1. Choose a product or service for which you have some expertise.
Remember that expert is a relative term. Look down vs. up… what I mean by this is that when you’re evaluating whether you have enough expertise to offer in a given topic, look at what you know compared to people who have never even done what you’ve done vs. those that you would already consider experts. If you have ever made a quilt, you’d be an expert compared to anybody that has not. If you’ve never gone kiteboarding, I’d be an expert compared to you even though admittedly there are people with far more skill than me at kiteboarding and people what a lot more skill than you at quilting (assuming that’s your thing…).
2. Do something productive every day.
People get caught up in needing to learn everything they possibly can before they’ll take action. Don’t make this mistake. DO something every single day vs. read and research. Setup a website at blogger.com and write your first blog post or create a lens at www.squidoo.com or if you already have a website, post a comment on someone else’s blog, or an appropriate comment in a forum with your link in the signature.
There’s so much you can do on a regular basis that you really are preventing your progress by trying to learn everything you can. If you’re getting started and have only 2 hours to dedicate to building your business, start with no more than 1 hour of research or “learning” and then another hour of action.
Here are a few things to get you started:
- post an ad on craigslist.org or alternative classified website for an affiliate product, your business opp, something just to get used to “doing” something every day
- start a blog at www.blogger.com specific to your project (kiteboarding / quilting / you business opp)
- post a comment on a blog or forum related to your area of expertise
- answer questions on Yahoo - http://answers.yahoo.com and link back to your site
- submit your website to directories - http://www.addurl.nu
3. Set realistic goals for revenue and progress.
You should have milestones or specific measurable goals in place for your project. Do these on a weekly basis and also a daily basis with an idea of where you should be in 4 weeks, 8 weeks, etc. I’d recommend a good book called “Getting Things Done” by David Allen which you can get for less than $10 at Amazon.
I won’t pretend to be some guru at goal setting because it’s not something I excel at either, but this is something that is vitally important to your success with your internet business opportunity or any other entrepreneurial venture.
4. Use the internet as your mentor and instructor.
The internet is amazing. I’ve learned more from spending time on the internet than I have in any of my university courses both as an undergraduate as well as during my MBA courses. If you know how to ask, there are very few questions that aren’t answered on the internet. Use Google, use Yahoo, learn how to effectively search. Use the advanced search features that these engines offer. Learn how to use RSS and all things web 2.0. The internet is a master at revealing answers and “secrets” to those that know how to ask.
5. Never give up and never surrender.
I don’t know how many of you have seen Galaxy Quest, but that quote makes me laugh. It’s true though… the only way to fail at this is to give up. Don’t give up and keep after it.
The internet business opportunity I chose to pursue is CarbonCopy Pro promoting Wealth Masters International. The reason for those is because it is so easy to teach and get other people successful. If you want true leverage, it has to be something you could “plug into” and do the same for other people.
