Must You Reinvent The Wheel?

by Yank Elliott, MBA & IAHBE Staff Writer

 

As a small entrepreneur trying to start your first business, or any new business, you are faced
with seemingly insurmountable issues all around. Don’t feel like you’re
starting from scratch! Many others have gone before you, so instead of reinventing
the wheel, learn from others what works and what doesn’t work. In this
article, I’ll give you some starting points and some resources.

Every business must provide these basic functions:

Manufacturing, Product Development, or Services

Many home-based businesses will sell products made by others (outsourced). In this day of
the Internet, this is instantly and easily accomplished by using drop shippers
from all over the world and by joining affiliate programs. Usually there is no need to stock products at the entrepreneur’s place of business.

here are also large numbers of home-based entrepreneurs who produce their own services,
write their own e-books, or make craft items. These businesses have the advantage
of low or no production costs; though sales may be low volume, the income is
mostly profit.

Sales

Very few people like to sell, but many home-based businesses are of the Network marketing
variety requiring direct selling to succeed. Services must also be marketed
to the public to succeed. Even if all selling is done via a Website, there must
be a continuing marketing effort to drive buyers to that site.

Finance

Some home-based businesses are able to start with almost no money up front; that’s wonderful.
However, most will need some financing. Sources are personal assets, personal
loans, home mortgage, credit cards, and friends or family. Some will also use
venture capital

Personnel

For the home-based entrepreneur you may say there is no personnel function. Not true.
The entrepreneur is the employee, and the same issues relate to that person
as apply to employees in a Fortune 100 company with thousands of employees.
The entrepreneur is the personnel manager (now more commonly known as human
resources) and must establish appropriate policies for the employee (herself).

One of the first things all human relations departments do is produce an employee handbook
stating company policy with respect to duties and behavior of employees. The
small entrepreneur should write a short list of things she needs to do every
day to accomplish her objectives. Issues covered could be daily hours of work,
how to handle friends and family, ways to defeat isolationism from the surrounding
community, how to obtain any necessary training, and other problems related
to running the business.

In addition to these basic business requirements, the new entrepreneur must find out everything
about their products or services. There are thousands of Websites offering training
in how to start a business and what the owner must know and do. All of these
require some expense and much time to conquer their learning curve. Even then,
how do you have any confidence in what you have learned?

There are better ways. One is to use SCORE, the Service Corps of Retired Executives. Services
are free and easily accessible on the Internet; there is likely a local chapter
near you. SCORE is an affiliate of the US Small Business Administration.

Another excellent source for the entrepreneur is the Kauffman Foundation, a non-profit
group dedicated to promoting the entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurial
success. They sponsor training through many organizations all over the US. Contact
them to see if they have a program that can help with your small business issues.

In the U.S. there is a nationwide community college system. Most of these have a small business
development center (SBDC) where the entrepreneur can obtain help with problems.
Call your local college for information.

Most public and private colleges and universities also have small business assistance. If
you are close to one, see what they have.

A source for better ways to sell is the book How to Win the Sale: Telephone Sales Scripts,
Marketing Letters, Voice Mail & Email Messages, by Ann Barr.

Here are two final thoughts on how and why to not reinvent the wheel and use what is
already available. First is a business-type issue which is being conquered by
a church group. A group of Methodist churches realized each of them was spending
untold hours working on their individual plans for things like developing a
small group ministry while others are involved in determining a better balance
in their worship services. So the Free Methodist Website is trying to accumulate
ideas so all churches can benefit and not waste all that time. An example of
what they have accomplished is the Pastor’s Handbook.

Last is a statement from Singapore Entrepreneurs about Warren Buffet’s donation
to the Gates Foundation:

Instead of starting his own foundation, he chose to put the money into a foundation
which is already in operation and has been doing good work. The notion of putting
money into another foundation and not getting so much fame later (in future,
people will remember the Gates Foundation, but maybe not the Warren Buffett
fund or grant) is what I think is remarkable of Warren Buffett.

Save your effort and learn from what others have done and are doing

The Pay Per Click Marketing Game

 By Jim Sansi

As an advertiser you're probably tired of playing the bidding wars by being forced into paying
top dollar for good keywords. This is particularly true in when advertising
in highly competitive markets while having to deal with click fraud and junk
traffic that hardly converts or is barely profitable.

The good news for advertisers is that there are lots of new players in the pay-per-click
arena with large and divers enough networks of sites that can deliver a good
steady amount of traffic to your sites. Here is a quick look at some of the
alternatives.

The richest man in the world, Bill Gates has entered head first into the traffic business
with the launch of the Microsoft adCenter. Although adCenter
is quickly becoming popular among former AdWords and Yahoo users and driving
up prices, you may still be able to place ads in some markets with good results.

One of the lesser known pay per click networks is a company called GoClick. GoClick
is cheap, incredibly cheap for most

keywords. However this is offset by the fact that the quality of the traffic
from GoClick isn't the greatest since they place ads on game or other sites
that may not be relevant to your ads. However if promoting products with mass
appeals like health and wellness GoClick can certainly provide good results.

StumbleUpon is proving to be a good source of cheap yet somewhat targeted traffic. The secrete
to StumbleUpon is a toolbar that users install that keeps tracks of the types
of sites they visit, then when an advertisers site is displayed it is targeted
to the users preference of site. With keywords starting at five cents per click
and the ability to deliver thousands of visitors every day

StumbleUpon is quickly proving to be a leading source of inexpensive and profitable
traffic

So that covers a few of the better alternatives for PPC advertising. It is also very
important that when starting a promotional campaign for a brand new affiliate
site or sales page to not buy any traffic. This can become incredibly costly
without leading to any kind of results.

For new sales pages or affiliate link you can use other forms of free traffic generation
like article marketing, forums or social bookmarking sites to test the waters
and see how well the offer converts into sales. Once tested and converting well
then delve into the PPC arena.

Niche Marketing Tactics to Make Money

By Karl Augustine

 

Niche Marketing: Tactics to Use To Make Money With Niche Marketing

Niche marketing has always been a key any success in marketing but lately it has
become quite a prominent force in the online marketing world. Many books, manuals,
courses, and web sites have been developed that focus on niche marketing. It
is easy to find solid resources on the Internet that can teach you how to make
money with niche marketing.

Niche marketing online is a distinct segment of Internet marketing and is the quickest
way to get maximum exposure if you know how to leverage the search engines to
draw attention to your niche web site.

There's many things to learn to be successful and profit from niche marketing and your
USP (Unique Selling Proposition) will dictate exactly how to plan your attack
to successfully market to customers in your niche.

If you plan to use niche marketing to draw visitors to your web site, here's a
few tactics that you can use to make money:

Niche Marketing Tactic #1, "Research"

Fully utilize all of the research mechanisms that you can find in order to make sure
that you truly understand your niche and all of its nuances.

This requires understanding what tools are best to use so you can understand what
your target niche market does day to day, where they spend their time online,
and what makes them tick from a personal and business perspective.

Niche Market Research (http://www.nichemarketresearch.com)offers free reports and
articles to help you make the most of your research time.

Niche Marketing Tactic #2, "Define your paying niche"

Clearly define who will make up your niche market and make sure that the people in that
niche market are willing to pay for the solution that you provide to their problems.

A niche is a clear subset of a larger category.

An example of what a niche market is not: "People who want to learn how to
shoot better scores in golf."

In this example, there are far too many people within the main category (golf)
to make this a true niche. Virtually everyone who plays golf will want to play
better and shoot better scores so this wouldn't qualify as a niche, much less
a category worth pursuing.

An example of a niche market: "Women who play golf who want to learn how to
drive the ball longer and straighter."

This would be a niche because it clearly defines and segments who you'll cater to
and why they would need your service.

After clearly defining your niche market, you should make sure that they are willing
to pay for your services. The easiest way to determine this in the online world
(other than using common sense) is to find web sites that may be close to, or
even in your niche, and see if those web sites charge a fee for their services.

In addition, you should look to see if there is a reasonable level of competition
between those web sites.

If you see more than a few sites listed on a SERP (Search Engine Result Page) that
cater to female golfers for a fee, chances are the people who are your target
customer will pay for your services for solving their problem - women who can't
consistently hit long straight drives in golf.

Niche Marketing Strategy #3, "Choosing keywords and domain names"

Research and choose your keywords carefully so you can acquire the best domain name for
your site. Niche marketing most often includes maximizing the way search engines
work to make sure that your web site gets listed n the first page of the SERP's
from your chosen keywords. Your domain name contributes to getting those first
page results.

Go to Digitalpoint's keyword suggestion tool and type in keywords that you feel
people would use to find the product or service that you offer within your niche.
Look at the number of searches performed per day for those keywords and review
the other keywords listed.

http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/

Type the keyword phrase that you think best suits your USP's target customer into
Google and assess whether or not you can reasonably compete with the sites that
are listed on page 1 of the SERPs.

Can you get a page 1 ranking knowing that you'll have to compete with the sites
already listed?

Repeat the process until you have decided what your main keywords will be for your
product or service within your niche.

Those keywords should be in your domain name and preferably, they should be your entire
domain name.

Example: if you've concluded that 'blue widgets' best suits your USP and you feel that
you can compete for page 1 listings on the SERPs with the sites that come up
on page 1 for the keyword 'blue widgets', then a good domain name for your niche
marketing site would be 'bluewidgets.com'.

Niche Marketing Tactic #4, "Posting keyword rich articles or reports throughout
the web"

Niche marketing doesn't differ from any other online search engine marketing, posting
relevant content is the best way (bar none) to get the right type of traffic
to your niche site.

Writing keyword rich articles or reports and posting them to high traffic web sites
is a great way to make sure that you get maximum exposure within your niche
market. People will use your keywords to search for information about the topic
that they have interest in, and they will come across your web site on the search
engines results.

Niche marketing caters to a distinct and select group of people who need what you
have to offer. If you define your niche properly and make sure that your ability
to solve their problem is something that they will pay for, you will have established
a "money maker".

Utilize the search engines to make it easy for your niche market to find your service
or product. Niche marketing is the easiest way to be successful on the Internet
if you do the proper research.
