We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
Ok, for those of you still waiting, the Internet won't goaway. Hang up the hopes that it represents a passing fad sharingthe fate of the Beanie or the Pet Rock. With legitimate high-tech stocks finally in the market,regular people doing "real" business online, and consumeracceptance to the point of purchasing movie tickets andhomeowners insurance over the Internet, the Web is here tostay.However, many people still get that glassy-eyed, far awaydreamer look on their faces when they think of the richesawaiting them on just the other side of their own dot-com.Well, whether your business represents a laptop on a TV trayin the basement, or a mega-corporation with offices all overthe world, my last 7 years in the Wild West online hasrevealed a few "truths" which should last from here untilthe end of computers.** There is no get-rich-quick! **I guess it's in man's nature to desire instant wealth. Since the dawn of history, people threw common sense to thewind and went off in search of "buried treasure."Unfortunately, instead of discovering riches, most justended up buried under a load of debt, misery and despairthemselves. In the late 1990's we saw the modern day equivalent of agold rush with high-tech stocks, dot-com companies, andinvestors who threw common sense to the wind. Well, we all know the result.** The "Secret" to online business success! **Would you like to know the real secret to making moneyonline that will govern the Internet for all eternity? Here you go: Spend less than you make. That's right! Simple math creates millionaires on theInternet! Regardless of the market, size of your enterprise, or thenature of the product or service you sell, the people whomake money online spend less than they make in revenue. The companies that make money are the ones who let someonewith basic math skills run the advertising department!** People don't buy refrigerators online! **That's right, most people don't buy refrigerators online,but to look at the way some companies operate, you'd swearthey did. Here's how people use the Web to buy a refrigerator (or anyother major purchase): they go online, research differentmodels and prices, look for a local store, go to the store,and buy one. Companies that use the web to make money (instead of wastingit by the bucket-load) understand the difference betweenclosing the sale online and providing information that leadsto making the sale at a physical location.** The quick and the dead! ** People who buy online have little or no patience. They go online to get information NOW, or to place an orderNOW, or to get their questions answered NOW! The online world is a "right NOW" world, where wait timesget measured in seconds and people get mighty testy if theirneeds don't get met immediately. Speed, not size, determines the victor in e-commerce becausethe businesses that meet people's immediate expectations asquickly as possible (if not faster) ultimately win.
