Building an online business is hard. Too hard. There is too much involved.
The biggest myth I have ever heard is that it is very difficult to build an online business.
When I started online a few short years ago, I thought the same thing, but I was determined to build my own business online. Don't let anyone fool you...a few years ago, it was difficult. But today, this couldn't be an easier thing to do.
There are just 3 things that you need to pay for, a total of about $30, that's it! Pretty cheap for an Income for Life.
* Domain Name
* Hosting Company
* Auto-Responder
Domain Name: There is a site named GoDaddy.com that you can go to and pay $10/year, for your very own.com name. It is a very simple process. Go to their site, sign up for free, register the name that you want, they will check to make sure no one else has purchased that name, and if it is available, it's yours! Quite Simple really.
Hosting Company: I can show you a way to get free hosting, with a dedicated server, which means, no downtime. Your website will be up 99.9% of the time. If it is down, it's just for maintainence.
A hosting company is a place on the internet that allows you to "park" your website, so it can be seen all over the world. Normally this would cost you about $10/Month. But remember, I told you I could show you a way to get your hosting for free.
Auto-Responder: This is a company that will deliver your follow-up emails to your sign-ups every 3 to 5 days for a fee of about $19/Month. I don't like making recommendations, but I guess I already did earlier with GoDaddy. But, I really like Aweber for auto-responders.
Retaining Your Customers
For your auto-responder messages to be effective, you need to make sure you provide value to your customers. There are two things you have to keep in mind when you are providing value.
* Solve a problem...
* Fill a need...
You can provide value, in other words, give your customers something that they need or want, for free, to earn your customers trust. You must build this relationship slowly for it to be long-lasting. You have to build their trust.
My suggestion is to keep sending them content that solves their problems. You can even send them a survey, to find out exactly what kind of problems they are having, then respond accordingly. After a few days or maybe a week or two, when they have built up trust in you and proved your genuine interest in helping them, you can start promoting your products to your customers.
But make sure your product is something that will solve a problem for them, or fill a need that they have. You do this and you can have residual income for the rest of your life as long as you continue to provide value.
Your "list" is the most important part of your business, in my opinion.
