You've heard it again and again: the Internet is growing by leaps and
bounds and you just can't afford not to have a business online. At one
time we could dismiss that as tech boom hype, but no longer. Even with the
recession and tragic events of 9-11, online sales have DOUBLED over the
previous year. Yes, the Internet has grown so much, so fast, that even
slow times out rank anything we imagined during the go-go 1990s.
But what if your life is already too busy, you don't feel comfortable
with computers, or your current business is taking every hour you have?
Technology is giving us new ways to put any business online within
minutes. And you don't need any special knowledge to do it. All you do is
type in your copy, pull up photos of your products, connect your shopping
cart, then start taking credit card orders. It's as simple as that.
If you don't have any products to sell, no problem. There are thousands
of products ready to be sold online, complete with order fulfillment
handled by others who specialize in that type of service. You don't pay
any of the payroll expenses or office rent. Put up your site, make sales,
and take a percentage of everything sold.
Here are some tips to make sure your site sells and earns profits for
you:
1. Make your pages load fast. For a while, when it looked like fast
broadband lines would take over, this old time advice seemed dated. Not
anymore. Many broadband companies have gone under leaving more than 90
percent of Americans using slower dial-up service.
You can be a hero by making your pages load fast. Keep graphics small.
Also keep your copy under 300 words per page. This will ensure that every
one of your pages pops onto the screen fast, even for people on the slow
lines still common in many neighborhoods.
2. Sell things that people like to buy online, and can be delivered
quickly and safely by mail. Electronics, books, toys, clothing, and
durable collectibles have all been big hits online.
3. Promote your site. The greatest HTML creation ever won't earn you a
dime if lots of people can't find it. Advertise in ezines, get listed on
search engines, send out a press release, and write your own article.
