Think about it.
How To Use Search Engines
First of all, you have to get away from this habit of using quotes when you search for something. Don't you realize that that's only going to help you find what you're looking for a lot quicker? What's the fun in that? Don't you want the adventure of scouring through all those meaningless search results when you look up things like "how do I get cat poop off of my Stetson?" If you use quotes, you're going to find your answer way to fast as there can't be too many sites that are going to have that exact question. But without quotes, well, who knows what you'll find? That's the fun of searching without quotes. Be adventurous! Dare to live outside the box!
There Are More Important Things Than Salescopy
Now think about this. How many people can send YOU to a sales page and you won't even have to read the darn thing? You'll just look at the main benefits and drop down to the bottom of the page and order. Do you know why that is? Paul Hancox reminded me of that this morning with his great post at the Warrior Forum.
It's called building trust and a reputation. When you consistently deliver great value to your subscribers, you can almost send them a headline and a buy not button and they'll click on it and buy. How do I know? I've done that myself many times. At least close to it. Once you've established a relationship with your audience and they know they can trust you, it doesn't take much to get them to pull out their wallets.
Why Are You Making More Work For Yourself?
Why? Are you THAT desperate for money that you're going to check your mail to find out when the check or money order arrives, take a drive to your bank, which can be God knows where, deposit the check, have to wait for it to clear or HOPE the money order is legit, and then send the product MANUALLY to the customer?
We do what we do to make things EASIER for us...not harder. I tell people when they tell me that they can only pay via money order that they should find somebody who can buy the product for them and then pay THEM back. I am not in the business of leaving my home in order to run my HOME business. And yet, there are Internet marketers who DON'T get this.
You are supposed to make things EASIER for yourself...NOT harder.
What Do I Spend Money On First?
The answer to this question is going to depend a lot on several things. The first of these is what type of business you actually want to get into. No, they are not all the same. Each business model requires its own specific outline and thus, different expenses. The second of these has to do with how much actual knowledge you have of running a business. And the third has to do with how much money you have and/or how much you are willing to borrow, assuming you can even get a loan.
Let's take the first thing. Somebody who has decided to open up a copy writing business is not going to need the same tools as somebody who is selling digital products. The copywriter needs writing tools. The product creator needs product creation tools. While there is some overlap, there are also a lot of items that are specific to each. You need to put aside funds for the items that YOU need for YOUR business.
