Make These Your First Steps in Marketing An Online Business!

The foundation of marketing an online business is your website. Beyond mastering the details of running an online business, you need a jump-start to making sure your website will sell your products/services from the very beginning. The best way to do that is download a free trial version of Ken Evoy's acclaimed book on how to sell on the Internet. It's the #1 guidebook for marketing an online business.

Based on my own experiences I recommend that you use the Site Build It! web business development tool for your main business web site. Why? For most internet entrepreneurs your main business site should have an integrated set of components designed to support your business success. To my knowledge, Site Build It! is the only such product within the financial reach of most startup and small businesses.

Attorney turned internet entrepreneur, Shawn Casey, stresses the need to harness your online support functions in his book Mining Gold on the Internet. Go ahead and click on the link, and when you have finished reading the reasons you should buy the book, exit and wait for the FREE seven day trial offer pop up window. Accept the offer. Go ahead and  watch his videos (they are excellent) and read his e-book. When you are finished you can cancel your order using the link from your order confirming email. (NOTE: you will always be welcomed back to make a purchase later -- and you probably will want to review some of his great ideas -- and templates -- to partner with others to sell your products/services.)

Another must read are the reviews of and selected contents from Dr. Ralph E. Wilson's great book Planning Your Internet Marketing Strategy. Dr. Wilson is one of the leading authorities on internet marketing, commerce and e-business in general. I recommend you subscribe to his Web Commerce Today newsletter. Coupled with the other recommendations on this page, it will launch you on a sure-fire approach to marketing an online business.

Another rich source on marketing an online business is from Corey Rudl’s free seven-day course. Corey may be the most successful online business marketing professional in the world today. After his taking his course you may wish to take a look at his excellent e-book (see the "Your Four Steps" tab). 

Additional free information on the details of developing an effective website are in Ken Evoy's free courses Affiliates Masters and Service Sellers Masters. I have taken them both and can assure you that he is right on the money based on everything I have learned about the Internet.

Some other resources include "The Lazy Man's Guide to Online Business." by Jim and Dallas Edwards, and Sharon Fling’s new e-book, How To Promote Your Local Business On The Internet.

Finally, you should click on the "New Selling Rules" tab to find out what Bob Serling has to say about "The New Rules of Internet Marketing." If you really want to sell products or services by leveraging the Internet -- this is a must read (and if you do not wish to enroll in the full course, do take a look at the sample).

I look forward to seeing you on another of our pages.

Best of success,
