For a limited time, I’m giving away my online business course if you sign up for a web hosting account with Westhost for 60 days – so you get a great place to host your new business web site and the course for as little as a few dollars a month (see below).
In this 1 hour and 36 minute video, you’ll lay the foundation for a successful online business based on your passion and dreams.
I know the feeling! Several times I’ve started a business without a clear idea of where I was going and they inevitably came to nothing. Even worse, a few times I’ve spent many months building a product only to have zero sales, since I had no idea how to build traffic or market my product.
The fact is that most people with a strong desire to build a business jump in with both feet before they’ve even defined some basic goals. Also its common to focus entirely on the product without understanding what it takes to attract people to your web site and actually sell something.
I’ve seen people wander aimlessly for months or even years, wasting countless hours but never actually turning their dream into reality.
“The information is right on target for my business. Online Business Zen has helped me turn my hobby in to a business that makes real money.” – John Garcia
Like you, I once was trying to figure out what kind of business to start, how to get started with it. The first business I started was a dismal failure – no goals, no idea of how to make money and ultimately no business. My second business I managed to build and sell a product but had no clear notion of how to advertise or market it. I did better, but sold only a tiny fraction of what was possible.
It was not until I was several years into my third business that I began to comprehend the basics of internet marketing, building an audience, and selling online. Once I started doing the things I will teach you in this video, I saw my sales and traffic skyrocket and reached a full time income level in less than two years. I was making more money on my side business working 4-6 hours a week than I was in my full time day job.
In the summer of 2010 I quit my day job and have been living as a full time entrepreneur ever since.
In this video presentation, I introduce a step-by-step process for getting started with your online business. You start in part 1 by identifying your passions and dreams, then build your business around one of your strongest interests. That way you are focused on what you are truly passionate about – which will see you through the ups and downs of building a business.
In part 2, I walk you through several steps that will help you focus your passion around a market niche that can make you money. This includes doing keyword research, finding a web site domain name, understanding the competition, and understanding business models that you need to profit from your site. In part 3, we look at how to develop or find products and services that you can sell online. This part includes sources for affiliates, different products to consider, and developing products of your own.
Part 4 covers the basics of registering your business, understanding taxes, and then setting up your web site. This includes some important information on structuring your site, blogging, writing effective web copy, and getting paid. In part 5, I present the basics of web marketing including developing traffic, optimizing your sales funnel and web site, tracking progress, building backlinks, starting your email list and using social media.
When you purchase the product, you will be emailed a password to access my online training page for this video series. There you can watch the videos for each part, or download each segment if you want to watch them on your own computer offline. The total length of all five videos is a little over an hour and a half. All are done with high quality studio sound, and divided into easy to watch flash segments.
Bonus Features: I’ve also included the powerpoint presentations from all five parts which you can download and to review, as well as the full audio track packaged into a single downloadable mp3 file which you can listen to on your iPod or computer if you want to review material apart from the video.
How much is your time worth? For most people, your time is worth $20-100 per hour when you factor in the real cost of living and the limited amount of time you have to devote to your business. Now consider, just for a moment, if you start down the wrong path with your business. How much will that cost you? How about the hours it will take you to assemble the information you need to get started? Even finding and reading a book, which does not contain all of the information here, will take you 5-10 hours.
For those just starting out with a new business, I’ve come up with an innovative way to offer the course to you. If you are building a professional web site for your business, having a professional web hosting service is very important. You don’t want to rely on a free service – having your own web host gives you control over your web site and business as it grows.
Since 2003, I’ve hosted all of my web sites on Westhost – they provide 24/7 service, easy to use accounts, and also the ability to grow as your business grows.
So here’s my offer- sign up for a Westhost account (which runs between $4 and $16/month for starting accounts depending on the options you choose), and agree to keep it for at least 60 days and I will give you my online business course for free. I receive a commission on each sale, and you get a great web hosting company to set up your business web site plus my videos for starting your online business. Its a win-win for both of us.
Get a host for your new web site for as little as $4/month!
If you already have a web hosting company, you can still purchase the course yourself. The course starts at $99, but I’m offering a 50% discount for the next few weeks if you use the offer code: “OBZStartingOut” when ordering. I offer a 30 day money back guarantee for anyone who purchases the course and is unhappy with it for any reason.
