Home Business/Work-From-Home
Thinking about starting a work-from-home business? Run a genuine business, your business, from home, full- or part-time. No “biz opp” here — this is real.
Service Businesses
Offer a service related to your niche. Build a client base, whether clients are local (ex., magician for house parties) or global (ex., JAVA programmer). (Or start a completely new service business.)
E-goods Creators/Sellers
Are you a programmer (or hire one!) with an idea for a needed niche-filling software? Or perhaps you have an idea for an e-book? Maybe a photographer with collections of e-photos (the e-photo sales market will boom!). Anything can be digitized nowadays — sell it.
Hard Goods Creators/Sellers
Are you a small business or a craftsman that creates/manufactures/retails your own hard goods (i.e., products that you can actually touch and that you ship — non-digital products)? Put up (copy-and-paste HTML) your own store and sell direct, without Yahoo! Stores, eBay, etc… or with. No products of your own — you can still add a wonderful store, sourced from thousands of manufacturers that drop-ship for you (no need for you to hold inventory, nor pick-pack-and-ship)
Sales and Rental Agents/Reps/Distributors
It’s your traffic — sell or rent what you want, how you want. Do you represent great products, either for sale (from medical equipment to ice cream makers) and/or rent (from apartments to heavy equipment)? Squidoo can significantly help boost your sales.
Affiliates
Add hundreds-to-thousands of dollars per month to your diversified monetization plan, without having a product of your own — no warehousing, packaging, shipping, etc. And if you do sell a product of your own, simply choose merchants that complement your product line.
Referrers/Finders
Another great “add-on” monetizer. This model is as classic as business itself… get paid a referrer or finder’s fee by an offline business for finding a customer (or a “lead”) for it. The Net, though, makes it far more cost-effective.
Existing Online Businesses/E-commerce Sites
Already have an existing online business or e-commerce sites? Do you need an ongoing stream of free, targeted traffic… motivated, interested buyers? Use SiteBuildIt! as a traffic-funnel, for a tiny fraction of the cost of your primary site.
Network Marketers/Multi-Level Marketers
Forget those spammy online lead-generators. Imagine if you could build your own unique site that attracted and PREsold warm leads to call YOU all day long? No more “you chasing them.” That is exactly what you and SBI! can achieve together.
Net Auction Sellers
Put eBay to work for you, instead of vice-versa. Use them as a supplemental source of income to auction a product that relates to your theme. Especially useful for local businesses or vendors that sell hard goods, and even for service-sellers. And obviously, for those who want to start an online auction business.
Local Offline Businesses
If you own an offline business with local clientele, a Web site is a must. Use it to grow your business locally and, in many cases, to extend your market globally (yes, you!)
Bottom Line?
Start at the beginning… CONTENT.
Do not start at the end… MONETIZATION.
So many people spend time and energy setting up a shopping cart and a merchant account or some other way of “collecting the money.” That’s putting the (shopping) cart before the e-horse of PREsold traffic.
MONETIZATION comes last… it’s the final result of doing everything else (C T P) correctly.
The easiest part of any small business site is mixing-and-matching the most appropriate blend of Monetization models into your traffic-generating site.
The key is to eliminate “offline thinking.” Recognize the fundamental reality of how people use the Web. Online, people look for Content.
Start there. Deliver Content, which builds Traffic, which is PREsold. Then and only then, are you ready to Monetize.
Once you have your own PREsold traffic, you are in control. Blend in multiple streams of revenue, not just one. Diversify to maximize income, growth and stability.
You can even create an online store with SiteBuildIt! See for yourself…
