Business Opportunities - The Basics

MLM - Multi Level Marketing

Multi Level Marketing is best suited to individuals wanting to get started in a business both off and on line. Most MLM businesses are low cost, low risk and flexible. You'll find that most MLM businesses do need you to put in some capital and effort into promoting your business in your local community or by contacts. Promoting an MLM on the internet can be restricted depending on which business you choose but can be done. Copyright and the practice of the organisation may mean that you cannot have an individual site of your own and, in most cases, you would be given a clone site that is given to all agents within the organisation. No site building skills would be required and you are left with more time to manage your contacts and list building. If you are more sales orientated and like the physical sales business model you can do very well with MLM organisations.

Internet & Affiliate Marketing

The internet and affiliate marketing community is a huge community with a few marketers making huge sums of money promoting a variety of business models. The most popular model is that of the internet marketer promoting a system of internet marketing as a business opportunity. The usual context is that you pay a fixed amount at an apparent discount to learn the business model. With most internet marketing programmes your purchase includes the product that you then market yourself. This is cheap and low cost and you would join the lists of at least one internet marketer of your choice to be able to buy more products to then sell on to the list you are building. The secret is in the list as follows:

• You buy the business model;
• you join the list of any internet marketer you buy products from with the option to opt-out at any time if you like and remove yourself from the list;
• you, with the guidance of the internet marketer set up the business as per the business model;
• depending on how much help the internet marketer offers, usually at a fee, you then build your marketing plan;
• you build your list;
• you then promote further products to your list;
• you purchase more products to promote to your list;

Products are usually downloadable often with a key physical product usually a DVD containing business promotional material. A website is required with a shopping cart and contact manager highly recommended. The start up costs are low but ongoing monthly costs are usual and should be kept in mind. You need to be a self-starter for this one and it tends to be preferred by people who do not have sales backgrounds as it keeps customer interaction to a minimum with the sales page doing the work. Copywriting skills are useful but this can be contracted out and there is no need to learn programming code or web site building in depth. An investment in a web editor that uses ASCII is recommended so that you can get creative.

Traditional Shopping Website with Product

This is what most people associate with the internet. The traditional shopping site can be profitable if you have a product that people want. There are many programmes available to help you get started with different associated web hosting and education programmes.

Cost: varies from business to business and product costs vary depending on the item. Supply and demand dictates the success of the traditional shopping site as an internet business. The services of a programmer may be necessary for a professional site and can vary, shop around before deciding or look for recommendations and referrals.

Skill: what you need to know is how to market your site. You can build a simple and easy to read website like this one but where shopping is concerned most people are web savvy enough these days to want to shop on sites that have secure shopping. Therefore your hosting choice is also important. You can start with as little as £100 but you will have ongoing hosting costs, product development and you will need to pay to advertise at some point. The more you are able to invest the better!

Pay Per Click Programmes

PPC programmes can be profitable once you work out how to run the campaigns. These programmes are often advertised through affiliate marketing websites as a work-from-home opportunity, position or job. They ask for a fee to get you started and give you training. You should note that you do not need to pay a third party to do PPC campaigns. The top search engines such as Google, Yahoo etc., run them on their own and do not charge you to join. Most importantly do not join through any third party who charges you money for a programme these are scams.

You can join by just going to the search engine's business link. Once you have joined you will find that each of the search engines has their own training programme that you can learn from, free of charge. Once you feel confident you can create your campaigns and test your skills and build yourself an online business.

Costs are: you must be able to pay for your advertising and you get paid depending on the rules of the search engine but for the major ones it is usually every two weeks and can be like receiving a regular pay cheque.

Skills: You will need to learn about keyword advertising and how to choose an in demand product. There have been many affiliates who have succeeded making a large income but there are also those who have gone broke with PPC. There are some affiliates that can help with this type of program but you will need to ensure that you can afford to invest the advertising costs to begin with until you have mastered the principles and understand the basics of PPC.
