First Question: Do You Work
For Yourself or Others
For Yourself or Others
As we saw in the Introduction nowadays no one can be said to be one or the other.
You could choose to work for someone else by filling in forms, writing articles, answering questions, etc, but being made an affiliate, so you could be said to be working for yourself.
Or you could choose to work for yourself, but promote other peoples products, which has aspects of working for others.
This is particularly true if you just use the affiliate link they gave you and do not get the name and email address of those you refer to them. To be able to get their details you need a Lead Capture/Squeeze page. There are many of these on the market. The one I use is Marketing Makeover Generator.
The reason I use this one is because they allow you to make as many as you like so that you can track where you place your and the response and also the means of testing both headings and audio to see which converts best and automatically using them. More will be said on this in a later post.
You may wish to start off working for others and then go on to work for yourself. Working for others can involve such as filling in forms, being a market researcher, by testing products, answering questions on what you have tested and also filling in forms, answering questions over the phone, giving your opinion on various matters.
If you do decide to work for yourself at a later date the first thing you will require is a good Autoresponder. I use Aweber. Recently I changed my Internet Service Provider (ISP) and obviously wanted to inform those whose mailing lists I am on that I was doing so. This involved telling their Autoresponder company. What I found out about them will be reported on later.
If you decide you want to work for yourself you have to decide if you want to provide a service or sell a product and if the latter if you want to deliver it digitally or sell a physical products. Selling a digital product be it a ebook, software to automate your business, etc is what the internet does best.
This can be what you have produced yourself, bought with resell rights from others or which you are promoting as an affiliate.
If you decide to sell a physical product you have the problem of delivering it. The one thing most people complain about as far as this is concerned is the cost of shipping. And also the fact that they have to wait. When they think internet they think instant.
Here it has been established that unless you produce your own product you can be said to be working for others, but that this too has aspects of working for yourself. As this is the case you need to know How to Get People To Your Web Site Blog etc, so they can give you their name and email address and also purchase from you.
