If our not interacting with other online business entrepreneurs then you should start... Doing so is significantly imperative to increasing traffic, creating real value, and developing a long term success strategy. Staying connected with others in related fields is a profitable way to reap the rewards of new technology as well as expand the platform you can utilize to launch future products and promotions, think about it.
Top ways to expand you reach online in a profitable way.
- Link to useful sites.
- Review useful articles, blogs, and webmasters.
- Build or have built a use widget, script, or service.
- Become an expert in a specific niche.
- Create a Free E-book that adds value.
- Give the book away.
- Source other colleagues in your niche from the book.
These are a few ways you can profitably increase your reach online, drive traffic, generate leads, and increase revenue with increasing expenses. Do them.
Another idea that many new home business entrepreneurs might miss is the importance of OWNING your own platform. That's not to say its not profitable to use the marking platform that you opportunity might provide, but owning your own is smart long term... keep in mind, if you playing the role of marketer and get paid when you attract new clients, then you have to own your marketing or your just promoting someone Else's.
Become an expert in the field you operate in and own your own brand. This includes your own domains, your own advertising channels, and your own websites and blogs. The business opportunity you promote should be able to change at any time, because it may need to at some point. Doing things like link building, SEO, and long term advertising are time consuming and expensive. If your just promoting a second party platform, you have no passivity should you need to move on. Your working for nothing from an asset prospective.
To summarise:
- Own your marketing platform.
- Brand yourself.
- Own your own domains.
- Don't promote someone Else's marketing.
- Use a platform provide but use it intelligently as not to loose long term value.
- Promote your own websites, blogs and other channels that promote the specific opportunity.
Another profitable idea, one that I've largely neglected, is to build an email list of people interested in what you offer. Its the first thing than experts say we should be doing. Over time a good email list that builds passively can become you most valuable asset. I've found it tough to consistently build my list, mainly because of direct approach. I don't join email list. So I don't promote my own. I'm convinced this is flawed and will change that in the up coming year. I suggest you do the same.
Having an email list of 20 thousand people is an asset in that when you see a smart product or service launched, you list can hear about it from you first and possibly purchase, leaving you a cut of the profits. The larger the list the greater the profitability. Starting a monthly newsletter is not a big deal. You can even deliver your most popular blog posts for the month.
Monetizing your website or blog.
In the beginning I didn't concentrate on monetizing my websites because I had no traffic. It takes traffic to earn money. I recommend adding AdSense or other affiliate links when your consistently receiving around 150 visitors per day.
Here is a profitable formula I'm using to monetise my websites:
Concentrate on one site that focusing on the business opportunity you promote. When your consistently are getting 150 or so visitors per month via search and other various ways, start to work on another site or blog that focuses on a different aspect of the same niche. Once it gets to that magic point monetise it via the same methods an repeat.
Another profitable idea that's really nothing new is building relationships with our existing customers, associates and client base. Find out what they need help with and help them. Be accessible and share information that has helped you along the way. Many times you just need to invite them to a conference call or send them a link to a site you've found valuable.
From a practical money spent prospective, some profitable home business ideas include:
- Watch those monthly prescriptions! They add up don't they?
- The Internet is full of free, if you can own it for free, own it.
- Look at your activities, if your using something keep it, if not get rid of it.
- Eliminate services that overlap.
- Say no to new "systems" that are simply another revenue stream for someone else.
- Use free marketing methods that stay up indefinitely. (Article Marketing, Blogs, Hub pages"
- If you have recurring billing memberships, Analise whether your getting value or not.
I like to access everything that goes out every couple of months so I can be focused on making more come in the rest of the time, this is a profitable idea for me and has been along the way.
Got any other profitable home business ideas to share?
