The Informations Age and Making Money!

 The Information Age and Making Money!
Copyright 2002 Livvie Matthews

The Internet is the most powerful and most incredible
marketing device ever invented plus it's the most
cost effective!

We live in the "Information Age" and travel down the
information super highway. Everybody wants information,
they want it now and they are willing to pay for it.

As a result, information is the hottest product on the Internet!
To verify this just go to Yahoo, Google, Topica and Smart
Groups and do a search on the different groups listed.

It doesn't matter what you want to research...there is a
web site, ezine or group on your specific item searched.
Everybody wants information!

For the first time in history, with the use of the Internet,
you have the opportunity to make money world wide
using your web site or ezine! This means you are not
confined to just a specific local storefront area to market
your products and services. You have a global storefront!

Are you beginning to get the picture? Let me expand on
this.

You don't need any specific license to start your business,
you can sell any service, product or information Globally
and it can be done from the comfort of your home,
using your own computer and you can even have fun
while you do it!

All of this was unheard of even 10 years ago. Today the
Internet has made it possible to run a business making
thousands of dollars out of the corner of a room!

With the help of a Web Site, Autoresponders, e-Zines,
e-Mail, quality Information and Networking you can
become a successful global business owner!

Web Sites:
Your web site is your "storefront". It is your customers
first impression of your business and you. And remember
the old saying..."You only get one chance to make a good
first impression!"

Offer outstanding information and customer relations.
Make your web site easy to navigate, easy to understand
and easy to order. Help your viewer/customers to have
a quality visit at you site!

Autoresponders:
Autoresponders allow your business to operate on a
24/7 schedule 365 days a year. They can be used for
everything from setting up your sales letters and
responses, to taking surveys, to sending out notices of
new products offered. All of this is going on 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!

e-Zines:
e-Zines are one of the most powerful elements in the
operation of your global business. e-Zines offer you
the opportunity of gathering subscribers/customers
for announcing new products, keeping your name in
front of your readers and a continual marketing tool.

There are sites offering free ezine templates and many
sites offering "free-content" articles for placing in your
ezine.

e-Mail:
Make answering your e-mail a priority! e-Mail to the
Internet business is like the telephone to the traditional
business...it is the lifeline!

Answer all inquiries within 12-24 hours. Be as helpful
and as personable as possible, remember you are
building relationships and even though your customer
doesn't actually see you, they see and hear you in your
responses to their e-mails.

You determine what they "see". Do they see "friendly,
enthusiastic and confident" or do they see "distant,
mechanical and cold"?

Information:
As stated above, information is the hottest product on
the Internet! Information comes in a variety of ways, but
two specific ways come to mind. Writing articles and
offering quality information products and e-books.

Writing articles is the most powerful form of advertising
and is by far the best business-building resource on the
Internet! You share your knowledge, experience and
expertise and in return you receive ...free publicity!

In addition to establishing you as an "expert" in your field,
writing articles gives you author status which offers other
opportunities and benefits within itself....free!

Information products and content is another excellent
way to establish your business. Look for information
products that offer benefits to your buyers such as
"how-to" products.

e-Books on how to build a web site, start an ezine,
increase traffic, write articles, market their business
or how to create their own information products.

Networking (building relationships):
There are many things you will do along the way to
building your business in the "Information Age", but
few will have the impact on your business as that of
building relationships (networking).

Because of the automated and virtual world of the
Internet you must build relationships with your
viewer/customers. They want contact and contact
builds relationships and relationships builds
customers...repeat customers!

No matter how good your product is, your customer
will rate the quality of your services based on...
how you treated them, how you handled their order,
how you resolved their problem and what benefits they
received as a result of doing business with you!

In summary the Internet, depending on how you look
at it, is the greatest business invention since sliced
bread.

But how you present your business, your services and
yourself is what builds your reputation and establishes
you as reliable and trustworthy. Two of the main
ingredients needed in.....
