To Your Internet Success.

I believe this is the most common question before you start to Make Money Online.

Before that, let me clarify my defination on Internet Business.

In my own words,

Internet Business is just a New Platform for me to deliver my products or services to the clients. It is only change the business models on how to fulfill the needs & wants of the consumers. It’s still involve 2 willing parties to Buy and to Sell.

Simple huh?

The only thing now is to decide:

What you want to sell online and How you want to market your products or services?

I will share the formulas and secrets on “How To Start Your Internet Business” on my blog.

Don’t miss this.

To Your Internet Success.

If you would ask this question, “Which one is more important – the mailing list or the product?” any savvy marketer would answer you, “The mailing list”.

Principally, any wise business person puts the importance of hungry demand (and not just any demand) in front of the product. In other words, there is no product if there is no demand! And a mailing list represents the demand or your business if you would like to call it.

If you frequent the Joint Venture forums and membership sites of any kind, you will find that product and service owners need mailing list owners more than the other way round. This is because the mailing list owners have the prospects that the other type of partner is looking for to sell to.

And if you are a mailing list owner, you do not have to necessarily make money from selling your own product. You can sell advertising space or craft a Joint Venture with product owners in return of commissions, recurring or not.

Most of the biggest success web businesses on the Internet today often establish the mailing list (or subscribers) first before the product. One fine example is Friendster.com.

Friendster.com, in the nutshell, is a website that connects friends and potential friends from around the world through a free membership access.

While Friendster.com does not make money from the number of members who join the site, the business makes money from selling advertising space and partnering with other big time merchants and businesses, owing to the established number of members Friendster.com has recruited.

This business is perfect example that demonstrates why every business should establish a need or demand before the product itself, and why you should do the same, whether you run a friends site or not.
