Is Your Online Business A Hobby
      Or A Real Business?
Your web site is a hobby business when:
+ Your web page is full of sophisticated animation and
           graphics taking forever to load;
+ You do not have your own product - instead you have
 links to many affiliate or network marketing programs,
you have never bought the products or services and have
        no knowledge of their quality or suitability;
+ You respond to email enquiries as and when you feel like
                 it rather than promptly;
+ You have a hit counter that keeps on being inflated by
you visiting your own site to see how many hits you have
                       generated;
+ Your web site does not lead your customer through a
                  sales process; and,
+ You expect that having a web site is all you need to do to
                 make money on the net.
Business success on the internet demands a "real
business" approach that is professional and focused on
the customer or client. To have a real business requires
that you have your own "sales funnel" that will usually
      involve having your own product or service.
In simple terms, a sales funnel is an approach to the sales
      process that works very successful for those who
  implement it properly. At the top of the funnel are your
   prospects. You qualify your prospects through offering
 something for free that is directly related to your product
 or service. In many cases this is a free newsletter or ezine
that will allow you to demonstrate your expertise and stay
    in front of your prospects so that you can eventually
                 convert them into customers.
As prospects move through the funnel, they are offered a
 product or service at a low price point. For example, an
 electronic book for $30 could be sold to your prospects.
Once they buy this product they have become one of your
customers. You have qualified their interest in or need for
        the products and services that you offer.
Moving into the lower part of the funnel, you offer your
   customers your higher priced products or services. As
  these people have already bought from you, trust and
  credibility have been established and they will buy the
higher priced items more readily than if you offered them
 to your prospects directly. This is usually the area where
             you will make most of your profits.
While the above is a rough example of the sales funnel
   concept, I think it illustrates a sales approach that is
 characteristic of a real business. Additional products and
services, including affiliate programs that you recommend,
 can be offered to your customers with greater potential
                           for profit.
Full contact details are provided on a real businesses web
site so that customers and potential customers can easily
  contact them. They are customer service oriented and
     answer e-mails promptly. They also provide a full
      guarantee that they honour without question.
As they know their potential customers, they ensure their
 web site is easy to navigate, quick loading, and provides
the information their potential customer needs to decide
                   to make the purchase.
