Your Questions About Doing Business Online Ideas

Chris asks…
does anyone know any good websites for generating online business ideas that are LEGITIMATE not mlm, etc.?
and the best site for following buying trends

Jere answers:
There are various methods of earning money on the internet – which is what probably led you to your question. You can pursue affiliate marketing, MLM/Network Marketing, and also top-tier direct sales programs.
As you may be aware, affiliate marketing offers commission on a per sale basis and in some cases offers referral bonuses for new affiliates you recruit. In essence, in affiliate marketing, you’re basically building someone else’s business…but that’s better than building it from scratch in some cases.
There are thousands of affiliate programs available. I equate the opportunity to having a farm and needing water. You would want to farm near a river rather than toiling over how to get water to grow your crop. So find a program that offers value to an eager audience! The traffic will naturally flow to you resulting in sales and income!
Now, for most affiliate programs you’re only getting paid one time for the work you’ve done. In MLM, you’re building a business that will hopefully continue to pay you over and over, week in and week out, and your income grows over time.
However, many MLM programs require you to build an enormous sales team or ongoing, loyal customer base before you see any residual income. They also require you to actively purchase product monthly and meet certain qualifications just to receive your commissions.
Top-tier direct sales is another animal altogether. One of the major issues for people in MLM is in achieving positive cash flow. Top-tier programs promote higher ticket products and a sales ladder that provides a higher profit per sale. With this in mind, it is reasonable to think that someone can earn significant money more quickly in a top-tier program.
Any and all of these choices I feel requires a strong marketing plan and system that would take advantage of the new Social Marketing avenues available. New Web 2.0 services like Twitter can really help you market your programs and drive sales.
Within Twitter itself you can search on what people are discussing, these ideas may help you to understand buying trends and where you can find your niche. For example, one of my “tweeps” runs a dating service online. Twitter discussions give her insight to her client’s biggest problems and she adjusts her marketing to address them. She then highlights products in her advertising that will hit their hot buttons.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your choice!

Lisa asks…
Any online business ideas?
Hi,
I am planning to make some money online. I want to start my own personal business. Do you have any ideas? I was thinking maybe make a site reselling items from cheap chinese sites for a higher price, or making my own original thing and selling it? I am able to make a professional websites, offering something, such as computer help, or make websites for people? Please give me ideas.
Thanks

Jere answers:
Stay away from the MLM, and that.
Most are just scams. You need your own idea’s and thoughts.
The problem with the Chinese is how to get it into the country, and then resell it? You have to deal with customs, unless each order is small.

Online business ideas and help :)?
Hey, i really want to start an online business, but what can I start with little money that in the future with hard work can make a lot of money.
Also if my business took off and say i was getting 50 orders per day how could i send these off because it would be too much work to keep packaging them up and sending them off while keeping track of how the website is doing, how the big companies do this, thank you. Any extra advice would be very helpful, Thank you very much =D

Jere answers:
Pretty much what you’re trying to do is something along the lines of ebay. If you look online you can find programs to help you manage information, orders, addresses, and a bunch of other things. Just check it out. Also, it might be a good idea to get a friend to help you out.

Paul asks…
I want to start a small business online. Any ideas?
Does anyone have any ideas on what type of product I should sell online? I am looking probably to sell on ebay. But I just do not know what to sell. Any suggestions?

Jere answers:
If you want success in an online business you need to plug into the right business model. So what is this model? Well, it actually involves 4 parts.
1. Automation
2. A great product
3. Big commissions
4. Life changing results must be possible within 90 days
When you combine all four parts, you are virtually guaranteed to experience massive success.
The first, and most important part is….
Automation!
That’s right, if a business is not automated and set up to do most of the work for you, run! Run as fast as you can in the other direction.
Very simply, you want to find a business that does all of the following so you can produce an income quickly and easily.
* It must provide a means that does some or all of your advertising for
you.
* It must do your follow up for you
* It must close your sales for you
* It must produce results whether you are sleeping, or at your
children’s sports practice. Basically, while you are out living life.
You are busy and you don’t have time to spend an extra 40 hours, or even 4 hours creating additional sources of income.
Automation not only produces a super income, but it gives you the time and flexibility to enjoy that income.
