simply stated, those two things are:
- sell a niche product or service; and
- use email and a professional web presence to maintain that niche.
as you read through the rest of this page, we'll talk more about each.
but first. . .
there are many problems with establishing yourself as a business and selling on the web:
- it's still a relatively new medium, and buyers/sellers are still testing, trying to find a model that works for both.
- there is often a lack of trust, as you know, as all too often some scam artist surfaces to bilk the gullible.
- there are exceptions, naturally, but there is no doubt that many web sites are often poorly constructed, confusing to use, and lack focus.
(if you have a beef about this website, then please tell us about it here.)
now, any commercial website needs to attract buyers who want what is offered, whatever it is. that's not such a difficult task as you might first think. just understand this concept:
the web is all about target marketing, not mass marketing.
whether you came to our site via a search engine, a newsletter, an article or some other referral, our job now is to provide you with two basic paths:
- point you to the eproducts, within our own niche areas, that we have available here; and
- provide you with information below that will show you how to market your own products (or those of others).
remember though, getting a great product ready is only the first part of the process. if you want to get it in front of your prospects, there is a long road ahead.
as a starter, you may wish to read through our free report (click here for "how to profit online" - a new window will open up). if you're familiar with the three basic methods however, then skip it and read on. . .
or, feel free to browse through our articles here about marketing, email, spam, search engines, ezines and...what you might find at the end of a rainbow!
now, because of the largely passive nature of online marketing, the art of persuasion is of paramount importance, and it should be your goal to know that art.
you can go a long way to achieve that goal by showing your prospects how a product will provide the benefits they want. . .
people are looking for solutions to their wants and needs. most would not have the slightest interest in your products per se: they're only interested in how the products will benefit them. hence. . .
"showing the benefits your product(s) is the single most important feature of online marketing"
armed with that point of view, the following information is crucial for longterm online success:
- how to use email as a direct marketing tool:

despite the ever-growing spam problems, by using email properly, there is no doubt that you can source targeted groups and retain customer loyalty.
the benefit for you is a ready pool of those who have requested information from you and who are therefore more likely to buy your products.

- how to develop a professional website:
most people use search engines to find what they want on the web...
you can, of course, design and build your own site(s), using the necessary software tools. with a good plan and determination, you can do it.

building a website, however, is much easier said than done. if that's not for you - you'd prefer to leave that sort of thing to others - then you'd be interested in a new way of developing your own websites, to promote your own products and services. this is as close to a 'turn-key' system that you'll ever see. so...click here now to find out more.

- what to do to promote your website to all of the major search engines and directories:
again, if you are new to all this, then see our introduction to search engines and how to use them. the ebook will provide you with basic knowledge, allowing you to get up to speed very quickly.
everybody who wants to profit online needs to know about search engines simply because figures show that over 80% of surfers use search engines to find what they want...but usually look no further than the first 30 search results.
that means your prospects must find your site in the first three pages of search results...
get our ebook here that gives you the step-by-step process to design and develop a search engine friendly website - one that will consistently get on page one of search results for your products and/or services.
- how to develop your own product or service from your own knowledge base.
remember. . .for somebody, your knowledge is pure gold. somewhere, on this planet, people want information you have and are prepared to pay you real money for it.
don't try to find them - they'll find you, provided you know where to start.
