"How To Start Your Online
Business In Five Simple Steps"
By Edward "Mr Ed" Thorpe

While you were going to the bathroom and getting yourself another Twinkie, I stayed on the job, and I came up with another subject with even more pointless confusion and planned misinformation oozing about it, than starting an Internet venture:

"How To Make Money Without Working For A Boss"

Yup, selling how to information on that one subject has made many a person filthy rich and has left many a dreamer with empty pockets. But, that's another story...

Let's get back on the clock with today's story: starting an Internet gig. . . You can start your online business in only 5 simple steps...

In order of importance:

• Find a identifiable group of people who are already buying related products and services which have wide enough profit margins to make it worthwhile for you to market to the market.
   

• Do searches in your favorite search engines and find out where these people hang out and how you can systematically, and repeatedly reach them with your marketing messages... and make a profit after your costs.
   

•  Make a list of the products and services your market is now buying, how they're buying them, the price points, and make a list of whom they're now buying from.
   

• Research your chosen target market's present suppliers. Look for ways to take advantage of any weak links in your possible competitors selling processes, in their marketing messages, with their delivery systems, their follow-up methods, their products usability and dependability, etc. Then test and track tactics to exploit any 'holes' you find...
   

• Using your findings from steps 3 & 4, get your marketing message in front of your target market. Your primary message is: how and why your market will benefit immediately because you're filling the 'holes' your competitors are leaving open.

Did you notice a commonality with each of the 5 steps?

Each step leads to the completion of the only purpose there is for you having a business on the first place: Getting A Customer. At the end of the day, starting a business, online or offline, comes down to one simple step:

"Get A Customer!"

Hm, Get A Customer...Short, Sweet & Simple: works for me...
