Dear Friend,

Many people have recognized the potential of the internet as a sales medium , yet very few people have actually made a success of it.
But the reality is that your clients and customers are more educated than ever before about what they buy, and are demanding that they be able to find out everything about what they want before making a purchase - and they are finding it. Simply put, your clients (existing and potential) want to know that they're getting the best deal before actually committing to a purchase from you.

How do they do it? Usually, they will look at your website (if one exists) and then search for others with the same product as you, and potential clients just start off searching. If you're not there, then you don't get found .

So how do you benefit from this trend? Who wins in this cycle? By now, most companies have done some looking at getting online. Some have a website and some don't. As I mentioned earlier, very few people are actually benefiting from it. Why is that?

In the 10 or so years I have been facilitating people getting websites up and running - and making money from them - I have seen what worked and what didn't. And simply, you need a plan from someone that managed to make the internet work for them . It's the age "mentor" scheme - learn from someone who knows about the internet, and save yourself the headaches that they had to go through.

I have clients that run R50 Million businesses through my software. Obviously, their entire company is focused on their products and services and the internet is the tool that they use to deliver them. What I want to do for you is to give you the distilled information - and all the tools you need - to be able to start, and you can grow from there.

So what do you need to do to get a website that really sells?
  1. You need a domain name . This is the address that people type into their browser in order to find your website. Ideally, it should be something that makes sense and relates to your product or your company name. Remember that you are trying to influence your prospect's behaviour to purchase from you, so it needs to make sense
  2. A website . This website should have a shopping cart and the facility for you to add products and manage your products and orders without having to be a programmer or call a programmer whenever you need something done
  3. A merchant account - the internet version of a speedpoint machine. While it is possible to sell online without a merchant account (and store orders for processing later with a speedpoint machine), you run into some difficulties: The site needs to be secure - both with a secure certificate, and from an access point of view. Many people still won't leave their details because they don't now who and when their details will be accessed or removed
  4. An email address at your domain. Some successful sites still use free email addresses and addresses provided by their internet access providers, it is still better to have your own - for 2 reasons: (1) Professional look of your own domain name and (2) not being tied to your internet access provider (e.g. what happens if you don't want your 3G account and would rather have some other access - do you want to lose your email address?)
  5. Mailing list software - this allows you to communicate with your prospects easily and precisely. Communication is vital to getting your prospects to know and trust you
  6. Affiliate Programme - Imagine if you could hire a person to market for you all the time (at their own expense) and only pay them when a sale came through your from them? With an affiliate programme, you get other website owners and email list owners to market your product and you can see precisely when they generate a sale for you (and then you can reward them for that). It also helps to know of the types of marketing you are doing are more or less successful than others
  7. Information:
    • How do you market your site?
    • How do you email your prospects?
    • How do you write a sales letter that actually sells?

    I'm always reminded of the engineer that eventually retired from the company he'd spent decades working at. About 6 months after he left, the main machine he used to work on stopped working properly, and the guys couldn't figure it out. They called him back and he too a chalk marker and put an X on the side of the machine and told them to open it up there. Sure enough, there was a loose part and when tightened, the machine worked properly again.

    At the end of the month, they got a bill for $10,000. They were taken aback and asked for a breakdown of the bill. It comprosed: $50 for putting a chalk X on the side of the machine and $9950 for knowing where to put the X

So what we have put together for you is really 3 simple steps :
  1. Get a website
  2. Load your products
  3. Tell everyone and start to sell

Looks simple enough. Here's what you get:
  1. Internet domain name - this is where people find you (e.g. www.google.com, etc). Many possible names are already taken, but we will give you guidance to find one that makes sense for what you are wanting to sell
  2. Ecommerce enabled website - this is the system that shows the products, takes the orders, processes the credit card, etc. Usually you would have to get one custom built for you, but we have one that is based on the experience of thousands of electronic retailers
  3. Merchant account. Maybe you already have merchant facilities for your business and maybe you don't. If you have them, then you know the hoops to jump through to get it - and getting one for internet selling is even more difficult. We have a partnership with one of the top level gateways (with links to all the banks), and subject to the type of product you sell, it is very simple to get you able to accept credit cards. The merchant account included with this product allows you to acquire in US Dollars, UK Pounds and SA Rands
  4. Website hosting - your real-estate on the web . You have the address (item 1 - the domain), and this is the earth where your building is.
  5. Email - addresses at your own domain. This gives a very professional look to your business
  6. Marketing information - how to set up your shop, where to look for clients, how to communicate with them

Optional extras:
  1. Mailing list software - the ability to send out personalized emails to all your clients and prospects
  2. Information regarding the laws about electronic communication - specifically, what you need to do to be able to send someone email without it being spam and generating resentment in the reader
  3. Affiliate programme software - one of the best ways to sell online is to get someone else to send you leads and pay commission for purchases. This is how you do it

In the "good old days", you would have had to do all this yourself, or get a consultant to do it for you. Maybe you've even got some of it already up and running. Maybe you're making money from the internet already. If that's the case, then please refer someone else to us because you have done a lot of toil to get where you are you know that what we are offering here would save them some time.
If, however, you aren't at that stage yet - you want to sell online, but haven't got everything ready for it, then you need to get everything all as a package

    Here are some things that we get asked about this product:
  		• Q: What are the hidden costs?
    A: NONE . This package has the domain, site and merchant account, as well as a whole year's worth of hosting as well. At the end of the year, you can continue with out reasonably prices hosting, or shop around and find a good deal you are happy with. Please remember that most other companies do not include hosting in their up front costs, and adding the hosting usually makes their products a lot more expensive that they are at face value.
     
  		• Q: Why is it priced in Dollars?
    A: 2 reasons: (1) because we can and it shows that you can as well and (2) some of our input costs are also in dollars, so it makes sense to keep it in that currency
     
  		• Q: What exactly happens after I place my order?
    A: After placing your order, you will receive a questionnaire asking about what you would like to put on your site. This will help us in customizing the product to your needs (of course, you can also just ask for it without anything loaded as well). You will also need to say what you will be selling before we can switch on your merchant account, because some things are considered high risk and can't be sold with this merchant account
     
  		• Q: What do I do if I hit a problem?
    A: Simply email us what you are experiencing, and we'll send you some help on the problem. All hosting related issues are automatically monitored, so we will know before you do if there are any problems on your site
     
  		• Q: Why is there no phone number on your website?
    A: To keep costs down, we don't have a call centre. We operate exclusively online.

    To get one of these for yourself, simply     click here and choose the option you want . This will take you to the purchase section of our website, and you will see how your own clients can purchase online themselves.

    After that, you will be sent a questionnaire about your website, what you want to do, sell, etc. Our team will go through your answers and give you the way to use your new package to get what you are looking for. It also helps define what you expect from this, so you can see that it works for you.
