Learn What You Need To Start Your Own Online Business

By Kurt Dixion

Everyone wants to make money doing something they like. And working from home is considered by most people to be ideal. How do you do it? Where would one begin? This is some advice for beginning on your path to successful online business.

1 Select a market that is well known and profitable.

I did my own research and found out that 330 million people play online games, and that it is a multi-billion dollar business! There are other markets, but this is the one I chose. You can find a market through your own research or use what I've already discovered.

2 Expansion is extremely important.

You are looking for a product that you are willing to sell that will offer a great amount of repeat sales and customers. This is frequently done by referrals from happy customers. Often they use monthly membership fees.

The way I chose to do this was to create a company which builds gaming websites for people, with affiliate codes for each game website created. Therefore you'll get paid when folks visit your gaming site. Moreover, bonuses are paid to you when you get OTHERS create websites for playing games. These bonuses increase the more gaming sites you sell.

This method can be applied to other markets too. But as it has been successful for me in the gaming industry, it's the example I'm using.

3 Offer your customers samples and free trials.

Each time a person buys a game website from my gaming company, he is entitled to free "Game Bucks" either to be used by himself or offer to others to experiment with the games before getting involved with the network. People like to try samples to find out what they're getting before they invest financially in something, even when the investment is small. Not only is this a very considerate action, it also means that people will have confidence in what they are purchasing. I really suggest this, no matter what your business is.

4 Work out your bonus structure carefully.

The bonus structure that I've implemented for my own gaming company is the most important part of the company. It's what makes it possible for everyone involved to earn a good living, and not just me. I've set it up so that you get a percentage bonus for every game site you sell. But you also get a portion of the sale that results from a sale of a game site that you sold to someone else. That's level 2. Then you get a percentage from the sales from level 2 sales! That is level 3. You can make a lot of money this way, and people will want to keep buying from you because of the possibility of expansion.

As I mentioned earlier, this pattern will definitely be successful in other businesses. I've achieved so much success that I wanted to share my techniques with you.
