When you are all set to start a web based business, you can be lured by a number of web sites promising overnight riches. Several testimonials, long pages of information and those sweet sounding words generally describe these scam sites aptly. There are several mistakes which people entering this arena for the first time commit and the most common of them are explained below to help you stay safe.

Upfront payments

For the experienced people, it is relatively easy to identify the scam sites from the genuine ones. But, when that experience is lacking, the new entrants fall an easy prey to the scamsters. The first sign of a scam site is when it is asking for up front payments in terms of membership fee, registration charges, or as the cost of a kit and may be other innovative methods. Whatever be the method used, the safety of your money is when you do not yield to such temptations and keep your credit card away from the computer. There may be exceptional cases where everything is genuine, but those exceptions can be tackled when you have gained some experience understanding the web world and the methods of navigating it.

Unknown territory

“Simple data entry”, “Form filling” ”Passive income” are some of the most common terms used by the tricksters. As a beginner, it is best when you consider only authority sites with a high level of reputation. There is no dearth of safe opportunities to start an internet business and what you need is quality time and some pointers to research and find your opportunity. Your own knowledge and skills will be the primary consideration in identifying the business that is most suited for you.

Inconsistent effort

Every business takes its time to come out of the teething troubles and …

If you are one of those people who haven’t finished school but still wants to be successful in life, there is only one thing you need to do. You can of course, find jobs at the grocery or the nearest fast food chains but that really wouldn’t make you earn big bucks or even make you successful.

The Godfather’s Advice on Three Marketing Killers

- by Anna Tyler

A friend of mine (not to be confused with a friend of our’s) told me that the don was willing to see me… and it wasn’t even his daughter’s wedding day. I was eager to discover how “the Godfather” increased sales so quickly with such a mild manner about him. Here’s what I learned and I hope you’ll take his advice to heart:

The Godfather's Advice on Three Marketing Killers

1. Don’t think that just because you think you have something that distinguishes you from the competition that it’s true.

What does your crew think? Whaddabout your customers? This is a killer if you guess wrong and will put your business six feet under before you can say Vito Corleone. I went through my first years of owning fitness & rehab centers that we were great, that there was no one like us and that people always got results when they came to us. I was right but I didn’t frame it in a way that people understood. What should have taken me months to promote, took me years. I left tens of thousands of dollars on the table. Will never do that again.

2. Don’t go chasing down new contacts and customers when your existing family wants to do more business with you. It’s just dumb, expensive and you’re gonna piss somebody off.

The time I spent running down prospects compared to taking care of my existing customers was astounding. It wasn’t until I understood the value of a lifetime customer that I began to reap serious rewards from paying attention to my customer base. Why we naturally hunt down new customers when there’ a gold mine at our rainbow, I’ll never know but I found out in time and did ok.

3. When you get into business with people who (still) owe you …

Are you on the verge of something great? Have you been feeling stuck?

If you talk to anyone who really knows me, they’ll tell you that I don’t waste any time when it comes to new ideas. I need to flush them out pretty quickly and get into action, or I’ll be walking around thinking of nothing else.

For months I’ve been feeling like I am on the verge of something great, but wasn’t able to crystallize my vision until last week. So you can imagine it drove me crazy! What I realized was that I needed a system to decide what this new program would look like, how it would fit into my business overall, and what it would help me accomplish – before actually investing time, money, and effort into developing it.

So I stopped being emotional and decided to use logic. Then, magic happened!

Let me share this simple process with you, because it made all the difference, and will now make my program ten times more successful!

Basically, you want to think big picture. Ask yourself these questions:

* Why do you want to create it?

* How does it fit into your business strategy?

* What happens if you don’t do it?

* What problems will it solve in your business?

* What gaps will it help you close in your product funnel?

* What new opportunities will it open for you?

For example, here are just a few goals that came up for me when I was answering these questions:

* Avoid overwhelming people

* Create a community of clients

* Encourage implementation

* Increase retention rate

* Require minimum work after initial set up

* Reduce physical shipments

Once you get clear on your own goals, you want to ask yourself …
