PUTTING A BUSINESS ONLINE
Author: joel Hill

Joel Hill knows what works on the Internet, "Offer what people want and need as opposed to what you think they want and need!"

New statistics show the Internet is soaring. The Internet audience has jumped from 33% last year to a whopping 60% by mid-2000. Internet business is expected to grow to 0 billion over the next three years. And don't think all those billions will be gobbled up by big corporations. Three out of four web sites on the Internet belong to small businesses of often only one person.

But for every Internet business that succeeds one stumbles. "It's not enough to get on-line and try to sell your stuff," says Net marketer joel hill sr. "You've got to offer resources that people need. You need valuable services and products priced to sell and plenty of information to benefit visitors. That's what makes a site that grabs thousands of visitors each week and produces big sales for its owner."

"It's the simple marketing that is the most powerful," joel hill points out. For example, many sites fail to put much text on their opening page. If a page lacks descriptive text, there is little chance search engines will pick it up. Visitors are also put off when they can't quickly figure out what the site is offering.

It's also good to figure out the keywords that your prospects and clients use to find a site like yours. Then pack those keywords into your text as much as you logically can. "Search engine tactics change all the time," say's joel. "Many software companies have solutions for search engine positioning.

Advertising, the main key ingredient for success, without good advertising you are wasting your time. Be sure to write an very good, but short ad with a headline that grabs the publics attention. Also, after you get their response, don't stop there, Joel has found out that it takes anywhere from 3-7 follow up letters to really get their attention.

Automate your advertising, Joel uses an autoresponder that sends up to 7 follow up emails reminding his potential customers about his business. Autoresonder make marketing so much easier and they are very low cost and alot of them are free.

And one major mistake is not having a secure order form. People are skeptical about ordering anythng online,but a secure order form will help drastically and boost your sales many times over.

Joel Hill states that over the past 7 yrs he has learned many ways to make a website successful. Alot of them through trial and error. So when considering any online business, hopefully you will take these things in consideration and avoid many of the mistakes that Joel made when he first started his internet marketing ventures. Do this and your marketing efforts will definetly be easier and alot more rewarding.
