The Hard Facts of Online Selling
For the vast majority of merchants, the Internet just isn’t a very friendly place — small business retailers purchase or produce inventory, spend thousands on a new Web site (often sold to them by an overpriced Web designer), get a merchant account, then just sit back and wait for the customers to roll in with credit card in hand.
Do you notice there something is missing here? Yea — HOW those customers are going to “roll in”?
If you are SELLs on the web, the Big challenge you may already face is to get traffic, tons of that otherwise what you are going to get is: No traffic = No sales
You just HAVE to have traffic!
According to the study, with this kind of backwards “planning,” in the e-biz mountain place, disappointment follows closely behind — and snatches up 99% of them.
No, I didn’t mean those small business owners are not trying hard enough to get traffic, not many of them know they did it anyway, they certainly have the motivation, but just not the KNOW-HOW to save themselves from eventual Internet flame-out.
However, many other online business owners who the SBIers are sit happily and successfully on the top of the e-biz mountain — the top 3% of all Web sites on the Net! Because they have the right combination of brains AND motivation to overcome and dominate the challenges posed by a very competitive Internet environment.
So, why I am telling you about this and why is this important for you to know?
Okay, as you know, 99 plus percent all online businesses fail — it’s a fact. Many of the business owners may keep their sites up, paying that monthly fee for no results, just to “have a presence,” but it’s a failure. Now here is the good news…
That massive failure is a massive opportunity for you to capitalize on markets that keep growing and growing.
Okay, if you are a Hard Goods Seller, or an E-Goods Seller, or even if you are a Small Local Business merchant, you will know how to fire your web designers and reach for that top 3% YOURSELVES by create a SBI site.
The pool of unsatisfied e-tailers is always going to be there — that’s just how it is. Failure online is,
unfortunately, the common denominator. Check out the Compare Chart here if you don’t doubt what I said. This chart compares SBI! with other hosts, feature-by-feature and dollar-for-dollar.
Now the opportunity is lying there for you to build your own passerby equivalent of downtown Manhattan, so take the chance then.
