How To Lose Money Online
By:Donald N Lombardi
Get a good website and start promoting like crazy. Do not bother doing any market research to see where people are spending their money. Do not bother to plan or put together a budget for your new venture. Just go with your gut and do not get involved with the marketing, operation, or accounting functions. Do not try different approaches to see what works better. Spend as much money as you can on a lot of advertising and do not bother to track it to see what works best. After all we all know that “Only half of advertising really works” so why bother to track it. If you get burned, just look around and blame it on someone else or the system. Then go off and do it again with another online business opportunity where they tell you that you will make more money and work less.
If you are not getting traffic just keep changing your site. Do not try to find a way to attract more people to your site. Just keep telling yourself that business is changing and go with the flow. Eventually you will be exposed to the whole world on line and have a huge market place. The exchange is so impersonal online, it is a different business, so do not try the conventional way of selling with the phone or in person. In fact, do not even try to sell anyone because it makes everybody feel uncomfortable.
If you have read this far you probably think that all of this is fiction. Well let me tell you, I see people behave this way everyday. There are those individuals who truly believe they can log online and make a business up and be making tons of cash in no time.
Now let us talk about how business, whether on or off line, should be developed and managed. Just because the web is huge and everyone and their granddaddy seem to have an online business doesn’t mean their business is successful. The ones that are took much time, money, and hard work to get there and it was not done overnight. For most good online marketers it took at least a year to get up and running to get successful. They had to budget their time and money well. They had to put together a detailed marketing plan and not just do some promotions. The marketing plan started with their doing their homework and checking the market place to see where people were spending their money. They had to develop the right product as a result of this research and price it properly to satisfy these customer needs and wants better than the competition. And finally, they had to spend time and money on several different approaches to see which ones generate the best hits. It took a lot of hard work and some burning of the midnight oil. But that is what it takes to make it in business.
Now there is a lot of room for opportunity and success in an online business. But it is a business and must be developed and managed like a business. You must be actively involved and work at improving various strategies to reach your objectives. Nothing comes easy in business, on or offline. However, if you plan your business and devote the time, money and energy to work the marketing plan you will be successful.
