Riding the Amazon Wave

Riding The Amazon Wave

Many of you started your life as an online business person by selling items on Amazon or Ebay.
Some of you are just starting out and learning as you go. I would like to first tell you that Amazon is
a great place to get started. I suggest Amazon over Ebay because Amazon does not treat you as an employee. You are sort of an associate. A junior partner who can work their way up in the business.
Amazon is the number one online seller. They have won the online wars and you can use them to grow your own online business.

Here is what I am suggesting. Whether you are just starting out or have been selling on their site for years there is something that many people have not considered. You can use them to market your own website. Every time that you deal with a customer you should include information about your business. You should offer discounts if they would visit your site directly. You can offer discounts for referring a friend. Remember that the goal is not just to get a single sale, but to build a relationship that will last for years.

You should try to make Amazon customers your customers.

You can make your Amazon customers your customers by including information about your website and discount offers with every item that you ship. You can also collect email addresses and use them for email marketing. Keep in mind that email marketing is the most cost effective advertising you can do. you will earn back at least twenty five dollars for every dollar that you spend.

Running an online business is about both offering deals and making deals. It is about finding customers and making them yours. Money is not the goal it is a by product of the goal. Concern yourself with turning sales into customers and the rest will follow. You may never become as big as Amazon, but you can earn a great living for both you and your family.

Business, Chance and Choices

Your Business, Chance and Choices

-There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.-John F. Kennedy

You will always find yourself faced with the simple fact that to move forward you must adapt and change. Take a few moments and list all the great and wonderful things that have happened during your life time from sitting around and waiting for things to happens.

It this a short list or a non-existent one?

Most, if not all great movements during your life time have happened do to the fact that you made bold moves. You took grand chances. What I recommend for you is that you find a risk worth taking and go for it. There will be a thousand possible moves that will come up during the life of your business. Should you go it alone? Should you hire help? Should you market in a different way? Should you reinvent your business? Should you stick with that supplier? Should you go out and find new suppliers? Should you try new things to expand your business or stand still?

So many questions will come up. Some many great opportunities will be presented to you. I cannot tell you what to do. No one can tell you what to do. You will have to make your own choices and yes each choice will be a chance that can represent success and or failure. That is the funny part about life. Nothing we do that is worth doing comes with a promises of success. Politicians promise you that if you vote for them they will make everything all right and of course the other guy will make everything all wrong. They are professional liars. I am just a professional business man and the only promise that I can make you is that if you do not take chances with your online business then you will not grow it. It will never become that business that supports your life style, that supports you family and allows you to live a better a richer life.

This is the part where I am supposed to ask you to go out a buy my book and or sign up for my course. I have a book, but I am not here to sell it. I will only suggest that you review all the good ideas that you have been sitting on. Find the one that is the lowest risk and try it. If it involves free trials and the chance to opt out all the better. Just try something new and take the time to pat yourself on the back for how far you have come.
Sometimes we forget to be thankful for the small improvements that we have made along the way. Be thankful for the small growth in our businesses.

Catch your breath. See a movie. Read a book. Spend time with a friend or a family member that you have not seen in a while. To quote Charles Dickens at this time of year “Mankind should be our business.”

Over the coming days, weeks, months and years you will make choices and even if you choose to do nothing you will be taking a chance. Be always aware of this and good luck with your business. Please take a moment to stumble us on stumbleupon and to add us to your google plus.
