Building a Real Online Business is
NOT about the Tools!
- article by Chris

I get a lot of email from people who buy
"instant EBiz" programs, people who spend thousands of dollars
on software, sites and tools and still can't make a dime online.
That's not surprising. All those programs and
offers out there are simply marketing ploys to try to make you
believe that online business is easy. They cost too much, and
they don't teach you what you really need to know.

Would you send a 5 year old child to first
grade math class with a calculator? Of course not. Math is new
to him, and he needs to learn how and why it works before you give him a
tool that lets him push buttons to get his answers. He needs to
learn the concepts.

Quick and easy tools that are supposed to
provide online business results are most often way overpriced
and way underpowered. Remember that these tools were written by
someone else. Just a person, not an all-powerful, all knowing
magical business wizard! In fact, most of the "quick and easy"
online tools out there were written as cheaply as possible in
order to make money quickly for the program's creator. This kind
of thing is rampant online, and is NOT good for YOU.
For example, there are tools that tell you
what "keywords" are good to use for your site. Did you know that
a "keyword" that might be good for one online business model
could be completely useless for another?
There are tools that analyze "commercial
intent", which is an online shopper's intention to buy something
based on the keywords they type into a search engine. Do you
understand how commercial intent works, and why you have to use
it together with an understanding of your consumer market to
know whether it's right for your particular products? Of course
not. This is new stuff to you, but the tools don't explain that
they can only take you part of the way.
Were you aware that pre-built "template
based" web sites are the worst possible thing you can do to your
business? In retail, it's individuality that counts. Template
driven web sites do not allow for the critical personal
self-expression that is absolutely required if
you're going to make money online.
That's one of the biggest differences between
the 95% of people who fail at online business, and the 5% who
actually succeed. That 5% takes the time and finds the sources
they need to really understand the business they're getting
into, instead of just buying worthless programs and pushing
useless buttons all day.
Even if that 5 year old
child gets the right answers on his calculator all day long, he
will still never learn the concepts behind the math, and will
never be able to push beyond the everyday, average, basic
knowledge of what math is. Those who learn the concepts are the
innovators who learn to instinctively move beyond the basics,
and truly succeed at what they do.
I'll work with you
personally for a full year to teach you these critical
concepts and much more, to pull you out of that 95% failure
rate, into the 5% success rate.
I did it for myself and many others; I can do
it for you.
