5 Starting Steps To Your Own Web BusinessBy Jason MannEven if you are a savvy, experienced webbusiness owner, a refresher of these startingpoints won't hurt.Let's dive right in ...1.) Register your own domain name and get your on a reliable web host.Without your own www.yourdomain.com you'reselling yourself and your potential customersshort. There isn't *one single* reason youshouldn't have your own domain name andhosting.You can get a perfectly reliable host for$9.95 per month and registering a domainname for one year cost as little as $8.95.No excuse not to have them.2.) A line of products or serives *you control*Affiliate programs are great and they can putserious money in your pocket over time. But thereal golden goose is your own products or services.When you have 100% control over the productyou have increased leverage on how to employ itinto your business.3.) You must have the capability to accept credit cards.If you're not taking the major credit cards you're losing*loads* of business. I guarantee that. You should lookinto getting your own merchant account. I use a companycalled, Ecommerce Exchange. Their steller and havegiven me great service. Their rates are fair as well.If you just can't go that route, you can also usea company like http://www.Ibill.com or http://www.WorldPay.comfor International businesses.4.) Sales copy that is PROVEN.I was speaking with a friend of mine the other dayand when I asked, "What is the number one thing you wouldsay stops new business owners online from making seriousmoney?" He replied, "Not having proven sales copy."This coming from a man who in 1996 wrote a letter whichresulted in selling 50,000 of his courses in under 9months.Tack that on to what he has sold since then and youhave nearly 150,000 courses sold using the *exact*same letter.If your not using a proven letter, then you're notmaking the maximum amount of sales you could bemaking.Creating a winning letter takes time, testing, time,more testing, time, and even more testing. Key tothat is finding a reliable and quick testing groundfor your letters.Which brings us to the finally tip ...5.) Developing a database.Developing your own "in house" mailing list of targetedprospects is without a doubt the fastest way to battletest a sales campaign.Why?Simple ... By building this database you accomplishtwo things:1.) You build trust between you and the list members2.) You build a direct line of testing which can be used to test letters, headlines, and get vital feedback in hours.Have a new headline you want to test? Send out a"mini-ad" using that headline and 3-5 lines ofteaser and record the click-thru rate to thepage you lead them to.Have a bonus you want to test?Add that bonus to the mini-ad and see howmany people click compared to when you sentout the letter without it.Test one thing at a time. If you change theheadline, guarantee and the bonuses, then howdo you know which one resulted in the increaseof sales? You don't. Wasted time.When you're offer is solid, you can send the entirelist to completed sales letter on the web and watchyour orders roll in. It really is that easy, *if* youdo the leg work and test.
