Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?

Before you even turn on your computer, the first question you have to ask yourself is whether you’re cut out for this kind of work.The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t for everyone.Some people like the commute. They really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what to do, and they like the routine of working nineto-
five for an ordinary salary that can barely pay the mortgage.

Personally, I think they’re nuts.More reasonably, there are people who are concerned about the risk of starting up their own business. They’re not sure it’s worth the investment of time and money, and they’re scared of the responsibility
that comes with running their own company. They wonder if there is another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen and paper and draw the blueprint for The Next Big Thing. Anything can happen For me, what happened was creating a successful, self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t happen without effort. It didn’t happen without at least some initial investment of both time and money. Of course, it doesn’t happen now without me making sure that the taxes are filed and the paperwork is done. But it happened. I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my business makes. If you’re prepared to give an e-business the time, the work and the money it needs to get started and get growing, it can happen for you too.

The Right Product Sells Itself

In fact, for some of my websites, my customers are my goods.
When you join an affiliate program, you buy traffic from other sites and pass them onto your partners for a profit.
In this book you’ll learn all about affiliate programs. I’ll show you how to build them, how to select your partners and how to turn your traffic into cash.
But traffic is just one kind of product on the web.

Information products are some of the greatest money-makers currently churning
up dollars on the Net. And anyone can create an information product.
Imagine you know how to build a bookcase from scratch. That already makes you a lot more knowledgeable than me. The only thing I know about wood is that it looks great in my fireplace!

Maybe one person in a thousand will want to know how to build the kind of
bookcase you know how to build. If you’re not a well-known carpenter,no publishing company is going to touch you. It’s just not worth the effort. On the Internet, one person in a thousand gives you a potential market of approximately 340,000 customers (and that number is growing all the time). If you write a book and sell it online for just $10 per copy you could make as much as $3,400,000. All you have to do is
tell people what you know and tell them it’s out there. And that costs next to nothing. Information sells like crazy online. In fact, I sell a $47 ebook all day long. The profits from that single ebook could provide a comfortable living for me and my family all by itself. But who wants to stop at one profit stream when you can create multiple streams of automated income on the Internet? Not me.

The Internet, Your Business Tool

In effect, my system for making money online is built on three
foundations: the Internet, marketing and the product.
In this book, we are going to look closely at each one of those. In
particular, we’ll spend a lot of time talking about marketing because
that is really how you make money online.
Let’s begin by taking a quick glance at why the Internet is the
greatest business opportunity since the railroad.
The Internet actually started in 1969 as the ARPANET, a Defense
Department system designed to let survivors share files after a nuclear
attack. From a handful of top secret computers, it’s grown to fill more
than 10 million hosts and millions of domain names.
And it’s still growing. According to a recent survey, the volume of
Internet traffic is expected to double annually over the next five years.
Consumers are expected to account for 60 percent of all Internet
traffic over that period with the rest of the market made up of
business users.
What does that mean for you?
It means customers — millions of them.
No other business tool can put the products you sell to so many
people so easily. Nothing even comes close.
We’re talking about a potential market of hundreds of millions of
people around the world who can buy your products 24 hours a day,
365 days a year. If you opened a store in your city, how many people
would walk past your window each month? If you live in Manhattan,
maybe a few thousand. If you live in Los Olivos, California, maybe a
few hundred. On the Internet, there’s virtually no limit to the number
of people you can bring through your store front wherever you live.
That’s the power of the Internet. That’s why my online business is
bringing in thousands of dollars every day. I attract a lot of customers
for my service and I sell a lot of goods.
