Online market research might sound boring but I want to tell you why you must fall in love with it in order to succeed in todays fast changing business environment.
Being a web design / internet marketing company we often get asked to help people or companies package their products or services in order to sell them on the internet. Sometimes this can be quite tricky especially when it relates to service professionals who have earned a great living through consulting and who are very new to the concept of packaging up what they do.
If you are interested in developing an income by selling products or services over the internet and starting with an immediate positive cash flow – then realise that market research is going to be more important to you than being attached to a particular industry or product or service.
You are going to find yourself focused on seeing a successful result first instead of blindly following an invented strategy with no foundation on customer buying habits. These tips will point you in the right direction:
There are the only 4 steps to consider when it comes to being successful online:
1. Market Research
2. Generating Traffic
3. Converting that Traffic Into Sales
4. Developing a Product
Never fall in love with a market or product before testing the traffic potential, or in other words testing if there is a market in the first place
A popular topic does not guarantee that visitors want to spend money on it, even if you get clicks and even if you positive comments – you don’t know if they will buy from you
Never spend any money, and more importantly, never invest huge amounts of time developing a product before you have tested the market and traffic potential of a topic first
Market comes before product
Internet marketing = traffic coming to a website
Online Market research is the most important part of the process and will determine the success or failure of your entire venture
So if you have a business or you are a consultant, your own market may not necessarily be the best market to focus on, when it comes to selling on the internet.
Skills in market research online will be the best investment you could ever make.
Let us know if online market research now lights you up – because we are preparing training program around this.
People have asked me this question - and you may be wondering, “which type of website design should I be concentrating on to build my business, how do you compare a company website, a blog or a direct response online sales letter… what is the difference?”
This distinction can be the difference between you spending a LOT of money on your website and not getting a very positive result, verses getting a fantastic result for good value.
Traditionally corporate “hub” style websites were the main option businesses looked at for presenting a positive image to the world, but they are not the only option you should consider - and may not get you the best result.
In order to know which will be the best type of website for you, understanding the different types will put you in a more powerful position.

I have just found this very interesting quote from Business Week Magazine, and it ties in very well with our newly released free business blog package www.newblog.biz:
“…you cannot afford to close your eyes to them [blogs], because they’re simply the most explosive outbreak in the information world since the Internet itself. And they’re going to shake up just about every business - including yours…Given the changes barreling down upon us, blogs are not a business elective. They’re a prerequisite.

So it sounds like your business cannot ignore blogging anymore! I’ve known this for some time, and that’s why I created the Alive Business Blog Pack, to help businesses setup their own blogs.
If you haven’t already got… don’t wait around. Setting one up only takes 3 minutes.
And they’re free! www.newblog.biz

Here is my latest video of my recent trip to India. This was done in Windows Movie Maker and took about 30 mins to put together. It was very easy. Then I just uploaded it to Youtube.com and Blip.tv (which is the one you can see here). The whole process of adding them to each site was about 5 mins. Putting video online couldn’t be easier!
