This interview is with Judd Burdon of Site Build It!.
If you have ever been interested in starting your own Internet-based business, this interview is for you.
Judd and I discuss a proven, straight-forward, step-by-step process to building a successful Internet business. It is a system that works for those who work it.
In fact, Judd is a successful Site Build It! customer who runs a $1.6 million website that sells... you'd never guess... Asphalt supplies.
Yes, that is one point six million dollars per year for a website about asphalt driveways. Now, ashpalt may not sound relevant to you, but if he can build something that big - around something that niche - then you just might want to listen to this interview...
If you have a passion that you've always wanted to turn into an Internet business, you'll learn:
- How real people like you are experiencing real success online. That's not a pitch, it's not over-the-top. Just a statement of fact.
- Case study example of one person who makes $35-40,000 per month selling information about kite-surfing.
- The right way to use online tools to build a real business, not a "get rich quick" scheme
- How to turn your hobby, passion, body of knowledge into an income - and how real people have made it happen.
- Starting right at the beginning (What is Internet Marketing?) and progressing to more complex information (the importance of keyword research).
- What kind of things can you sell on the Internet? What kind of business can you build on the Internet?
- How to determine what your website should be about... how to ensure you don't make the biggest mistake of all - choosing a niche that nobody else is interested in! (or second worse, choosing a niche that is so broad or competitive that you'll always be a small fish in a big ocean.)
- The different ways of monetizing your knowledge. You can make money on the Internet in a lot of different ways... products, information, advertising, affiliates, leads, and more. What is the best way to make money in your niche?
- Why monetization is NOT THE FIRST THING TO WORRY ABOUT when starting your Internet business. In fact... it's the last!
- How to use the CTPM formula to build a real, solid business on the Internet.
- Why "pre-selling" potential customers is so important to the success of your business.
- How to build a successful online business without knowing html, content management, traffic, webmail, rss, sitemaps, ftp, holy moly - you could waste years learning all the technology that is out there...
- Why you need to avoid, at all costs, spending too much money on your web designer, programmer, and even a merchant account when you're first getting started. (And how to avoid spending too much money on those things.)
- How to get a personalized consultation, for your situation, on getting started with your own Internet business.
