| Q. Is Selling
Hard?
A. NO. Selling
is Sharing - If you like something - you tell your friends."Boy that Snicker
bar sure is good. Or, gosh darn, I love the feel of Dove Soap!" Did you
make any money? No, did you share? Yes. Was it easy? Of course, it
was. We sell things to each other every day without even thinking
about it.
1. Always pick
a web business that you like what they are selling. After all, if you don't
want or buy the
product, how
can you share?
Q. Are there
free companies to get started making money?
A. Gobs of
them - many of the them have self replica pages.
Q. Is it hard
to build a Free Web page?
A. Not at all.
You will follow instructions and soon make a professional page. Once you
have made one you will feel like the Queen or King of all Web Page builders.
Most free web pages have Wizards making your
web page building very Easy. Free - Angelfire
Free - freeyellow
But
- it is not professional looking to use free pages, so
you decide if that is what you really want to do to promote your business!
Hosting
and building pages
2. In building
your web page you must think of things that you have seen on the net and
adored, liked, or
felt medium
about. You must not put in your page what you dislike in others'
pages. That would be strange --)
Look at different
web pages. What did you find out? Were they taking forever
to load? Was the print too small? Was the content, not what
was promised by the advertisment?
(OH, how I
hate that!) You will get an idea as you look around as to what you don't
like.
3. All
web pages must offer something free. People just like free stuff.
Whether it is a stab at a free business, or a nifty cool gizmo for
their computers, a free lottery, a free autoresponder
or a free
marketing tip; something must be FREE. If you get a free webpage,
that will be the first thing you can offer people - A free website.
If you get a free business - Well, best offer a free and an easy way to
sign up. People like Easy.
4. When writing
the content of your web page. You must THINK. How will this
look? Will it get the readers attention? Have I promised on my page
what I have advertised? Is it easy to read? Will I lose my reader,
and a possible future person to share with? And, most importantly,
did I miss making new
friend?
5. Okay.
There are key words that people like to see when they are busy looking
at your business or
your products
Key word above - FREE and these YOU, EASY, SIMPLE are a few.
6. Spacing.
- People like to see easy short paragraphs or statements. In otherwords,
space your wording.
As I am doing
on this page. Look back there is not a single long paragraph that
has scared you away. Or
you would
not have read this far.
7. Once you
have gotten your readers attention, then you can tell them the whole stuff
in more details.
The important
thing is make it easy and enjoyable for your reader.
8. GRAPHICS
- Gosh, there are tons of graphics on the net. DO you know how to
snag one when you think it is just adorable? Right click on the graphic
- Choose save as - name it something easy. Save it where you want
to keep it on your computers, in something such as "my documents."
Make sure it
doesn't have a warning on it.
9. SAVING THINGS
- Have you learned how to make a file on your computer for special things?
I have Files/Folders
called keepers, images, free things, important, etc.
This is where I put my stuff
when I download
something or when I decide something is worth saving. (I have added
some PC training for newbies for learning how to save as - set up folders
etc. at the end of this article.)
10. NOW we
have made our page. We can show it to our friends and our relatives. Wonderful!
Hmmm, but
that is not
going to make you any money. Oh, a few dollars, maybe. And, your friends
will send your new
page to their
friends. SO someone is going to see your page.
BUT we want
100's of people to see your page, or 1,000's or more. GOSH, let's get lots
of people to
see your web
site. IT is every marketer's dream to have tons and tons of hits
to their page. There are
statistics
in mail order and on the web, and guess what they are pretty close to the
same. You need a certain amount of advertisment going out on your webpage,
many will see your page. BUT, alas, not everyone buys. In fact, I would
guess around 15% that come to my pages sign up for a free thing,
MUCH LESS
BUY anything.
11. SO, that
page needs lots of hits. SEARCH ENGINES are your most useful tool
for customers.
BECAUSE people
going to search engine are putting in keywords looking for what you have
to sell. SO,
once you have
built your page, you will need to make html tags for the search engines
to find you. Uh, oh, for some of you a new thing to do. Don't
worry. I will send you to a Meta Tag Builder and you can copy and paste
it right into your webpage at the very top. Okay, for real newbies.
I will put in how to
Copy and Paste
in the bottom of this article too.:)))
12. About Meta
Tags - Meta Tags are very special. I want the world to see this article.
NOT only that - I want some to them to come back to my pages.
After all, I am conveying some great knowledge, that I worked hard to get.
Take YOUR mouse right now and place it on my page - NOW click on the
rightside
button of your mouse.
LOOK to where
it says "view source" Click on it. When you want out
- Just hit the top X in the corner
and you will
be back here. Only takes a second. "WOW - a new view of my
page. IT shows what is
hidden - Such
as Meta Tags. This is what robots see when they search my page. IT
will have key words - that people might be searching for. THOSE KEYWORDS
will be in this article some how someway.
Because I want
the Robots to see those words.
I also want
the robots to notice those words when it flips automatically down my webpage.
I need a
keyword of
what I am selling in my title (such as net marketing)- I need a key word
in my Heading and I
need a key
word in the beginning of my paragraph.
ANOTHER HOT
TIP: Every time you read a message that catches your eye, write it
down. Knowing
what makes
people go to your page is very important.
NOW, we have
our main keywords to what we are selling. The search engines allow
you to have up to 200 characters (not words) to get people to your page.
These words are important and should have some of the keywords you have
used to get people to even see your advertisement in the search engine.
So, bascially
in your meta tags you want several keywords describing your site and a
nice blurp that isn't
too long.
You want some of these following words in your web page. EASY, SIMPLE,
YOU, GUARANTEED. People want a guarantee. If your product is not guaranteed,
find something else to sell.
NOW look at
your page, and pretend you are a stranger seeing it for the first time.
LOOK closely. A good writer, always re-checks and re-writes until what
they want to convey comes across. Forget showing off with big words.
Your average buyer does not have a college degree. If you put words
in
your web page
that you can use a simple word for- use it. Don't go showing off
your power of words.
This does not
mean to disrespect your customer's intelligence. This is just something
I know from experience. If you use too many words that the average person
has to look up- YOU WILL lose your potential prospect. Guaranteed.
SO once your
page has those factors. You have your product, you have it meta tagged,
you have checked to make sure your spelling is correct. It is readable,
pleasant to the eye. THEN you go submit it. HINT - Yahoo,
is still the number one leader for search engines at the time of this writing.
IT will
take at least two months before it actually gets into their search engine.
You go to - yahoo.com
and find the
category that you want your page placed in. Then you go to the bottom and
in little tiny words it says "add url" FOLLOW their instructions
carefully.
(Back end to
get into yahoo.com is to make sure you have
submitted
your page to google.com)
Tricky icky
things advertisers do. "YOUR site is great!" (hahah, they have never
been to my site.) "I was looking over your site and."
(Again, they have never been to my site) "REQUEST more information" (many
of we marketers use auto responders to answer basic questions) Usually
entitled "Request more Information." (Again. It is not anyone that is slightly
interested in me, or what I am
doing or what
I am selling or worse - haven't been to any of my web pages.
ANOTHER SCAM
- Join a group - with a friend. Visit for a few days. Get to know
some of these nice innocents in your group. Your friend writes to
the group. "Wow. I saw a product called E-books by Teresa- Has anyone Read
her action packed historic romances?" YOUR friend now answers.
"YES, I saw the site at such and such place. I remember as I saw
her advertisement and bookmarked it. I was so tempted. Should I buy them?
I mean they are not real books one can cuddle up in bed with. They are
only E-books."
Then
the next day. "OH YES, they are wonderful, before, during and after the
civil war! I loved them. I just looked back and found them at
E-books for Sale
To me those
are just plain (UGLY MARKETING TACTICS) OOPS that URL IS REAL ABOVE and
is my own. AND, no I did not join a email group and sell my books that
way.
So, this is
just a warning of how desperate some people can get. Believe in your
product. If someone wants your product, your product should be able to
sell itself or you are wasting your time.
CONSUMABLE
products are the best products to sell. WHY? Of course, because they
get used up. And, you have to buy them again. Simple. I sell
vitamins and health products. WHY? Because I happen to love
Vitamins and believe in them. AND, yep, every month I buy more vitamins.
BUT from my
own store. NOT someone else's. SO, if you have a consumable
product that you want others to buy. I hope you are using them yourself.
Another TIP
- Robots like to see that your page is popular. Well this is the
hardest thing to do. You
must make
your site special so other people link up with yours.

THESE NEXT
FEW PARAGRAPHS are for PC training. If You know this stuff, skip it. Just
race on down past the green headline stuff.
TO COPY AND
PASTE (my what a time saver) Highlight what you want to save to copy so
you can put it somewhere else. Now right click your mouse, it gives
you an option select copy.
Select Copy.
NOW take your cursor to where you want to copy Right Click on your Mouse
and select Paste. Wow, it is transferred. Note: Sometimes, the option
for copy is just not there. Look to the top of your browser and find
Edit - Click on Edit. Find the word Copy and click on Copy.
ANOTHER way
to copy and paste is to use your keyboard. Highlight what you want
to copy press cntrl and C at the same time. To paste - place
the cursor where you want to
what you just
copied to go and press cntrl and V at the same time - And you have copied
and pasted that way, too.
TO MAKE A FOLDER
- Click on Start. Find Programs. Click on Programs - Scroll down until
you find
Windows Explorer.
Click On Windows Explorer - YOU will be in a box - You will see
stuff like desktop, my documents, C: Click on C: once or twice depending
on your program - Now highlight C:
TO highlight
you just click once. NOW look at the top of the box that you are
in. YOU will see the word FILE click on File and a another
box will appear, giving you options. CLICK on New Folder - Now a
box will appear saying NEWFOLDER Erase the words- NewFolder and type
in what name you
want your
folder to be. NOW click on your new folder until it is blue - _ This
is just an easy way to stay
organized.
WELL that was
scary and new. AND I bet you succeeded. Good. HOW to
find your new folder go to
windows explorer
again. Double Click on C - scroll down and you will find your
new folder. Once you put something in your folder and you want a handy
folder. You can make a short cut to your folder by clicking once to highlight
your file. Right click and you will see a box IT will say make
a shortcut to
Folder and
send to desktop. DONE
MOVING FILES
from FOLDER TO FOLDER - Okay, you have some files you want to put into
your new folder - This is a bit strange at first it is called "dragging"
YOU can drag a file from inside a folder into another folder. DRAGGING
is easy. Once you have done one. It is so simple you will be
astounded.
TEST the art of clicking and dragging by moving something on your
desktop. JUST move it. DON'T put in anywhere. Place your cursor
on say your trash can - Click the mouse but don't release it. NOW
at the same time drag your mouse across your mouse pad. YOUR file should
move. NOW put it back - You are now an expert at dragging things.
OKAY, now we
want to move something from inside one file into another folder.
TO begin with if you somehow have some non folder stuff on your desktop
and you have made a short cut to your folder and something is there that
you want in your new folder. DRAG it into the file. That's right
just drag that file
and place
it in the file that you want. DONE.
IF it is somewhere
else, then we go to Programs, go to Window Explorer. Find the folder
you plan on putting stuff into. Double click on it- IT is now open
- NOW find what you are looking for.
DOUBLE CLICK
on that. The folder you just opened will close - BUT if you look
in your list on the other side of the computer you can see that it is open
by the little + signs. NOW whatever it is you want to move.
DRAG it over and into your new file. LIKE I said, once you
have done it once, it is incredibly
easy.
FOR SOUNDS when you open ichatplug in. Again it will say cache and sounds.
MOVE The sounds you already have into the sounds part, NOT THE CACHE
NOW the next
time someone sends you a new sound or a cool graphic. YOU will always
save as: by clicking on C: finding the folder you want what is being sent
to you. Click on the folder then Click on save as: and that is where
what is being sent to you will go. *SMILE*
THE REASON
I HAVE added the above information - Is for PC beginners, who once, they
get marketing
going, they are going to be really into the outside world of their computer
AND will most
definitely
want to stay organized.
E-mail Signatures
are a must:When you send out an e-mail. You should have a little end statement
at the bottom of your email with your full web page address along with
a short Heading - YOUR email program will teach you how to do this with
the program under help.
Another little
tip for top: Follow up on your prospects- ONCE - If they don't respond.
Leave them alone. That is harassment.
