If it is taking you any longer than a week to get your sales website published, then it is taking way too long.

I have cleared my schedule for 3 whole days this month, to work with a select few people to finally get their businesses up and running.

This short video will explain the entire process that I use to build a new business or marketing campaign in just 3 days.

Here’s the video clip –

What am I talking about?

The next 5 Day Fast Track Clinic happens in Vancouver, BC from June 9th to 13th.

During this *intensive* 5 days, I will personally help you to create a new stream of online income.

Here’s a short video that explains how it works –

First I will show you EXACTLY what to do …

then … I will stand behind you, watching you work so that you can be 100% confident that you are doing everything correctly.

I’ve taken more than 300 people through this process and ALL of them went home with a fully operational online business that was getting traffic from the search engines, generating opt-in subscribers to their mailing list, AND in some cases, even making sales in just 5 short days.

This is a process that you can’t find anywhere else that can actually guarantee you a successful end result.

I want to give you as much of my personal attention as possible and for that reason I am limiting this class size to only 10 people.

If you have any questions about the 5 Day Fast Track Clinic, please post a comment below.

See you in Vancouver on June 9th.

They sell everything from handmade journals to rhythm tracks for musicians to designer soaps to giant barbecues, so “what” they are selling is not the key factor. How old they are, how much formal education they have, or how well they know the Internet doesn’t appear to affect their ability to make money online either.

So what are the traits these home based business owners have in common?

They take action.

Most of them started out with almost no budget and little knowledge of marketing on the Internet. Typically, this was their first website. But they didn’t wait until they knew everything and their websites were perfect — they put up a website and then got busy learning and making improvements.

It’s too easy to put off the reality of starting your own business by doing more research, or aiming for perfection. Your site does not have to be perfect to make money, but you can’t make money until you start! Take the first steps (no matter how small) to starting your own business.

They focus on one thing and do it well.

The entrepreneurs we interviewed focused on one Internet marketing task at a time, and did it well. When they had maximized their profits with one technique they moved on to the next one. They could look ahead at all the things they planned to do and know that there were more improvements to come.

It’s easy for people starting an online business to be distracted by the latest, most exciting, most revolutionary new Internet marketing strategy. Don’t get derailed by trying every new thing that comes along and not finishing all the other stuff you’ve been working on. You can’t make progress that way.

Instead, start by getting your website up and getting the basics down. Then make a list of all the different ways to increase the sales to your website. Start with one, and leave the rest on your “to-do” list until you have squeezed every dollar out of the traffic generation technique, sales strategy, or email marketing campaign you are working on.

They don’t reinvent the wheel.

All entrepreneurs make mistakes, and these home based business owners are no exception. They all said that they could have been earning a MUCH bigger income MUCH faster if they had only started their Internet education earlier and learned from the experience of others.

Other people have already cut a path through the Internet jungle for you. Great ideas are transferable. What works for others can be adapted for your online business, too. So look for courses, training, or even mentoring that will get you to your destination faster.

Starting your own business online is a journey, not a destination. Keep learning, keep doing, and “starting” will turn into “growing.”

It’s the web equivalent of the used car that was owned by a little old lady and only ever driven to church on Sundays.

We’re selling a complete online business that has been making money online for 11 years. “Car Secrets Revealed” was the work-at-home business started by our founder, Corey Rudl, in 1994, it was one of the earliest commercial websites, and it introduced Corey to online business opportunities that nobody else had recognized — because back then hardly anybody was selling on the Internet. In a very short time, he’d become one of the first Internet marketing gurus, and the Internet Marketing Center was born.

Meanwhile, the “Car Secrets Revealed” website kept chugging along, making money even though it was neglected. It sells an ebook that tells car owners and buyers how to save thousands of dollars on buying, repairing, and driving a vehicle.

It won’t take much to get this baby up to speed. With some updating, some list cleaning, an ecommerce enabled website, and a few other small tasks, “Car Secrets Revealed” is a terrific home based business opportunity.

It’s listed on eBay and the auction closes THIS WEDNESDAY, May 12 at 16:23 (4:23 p.m.). Click here to see the auction details.

The auction winner will buy:
Domain name
Website
Exclusive rights to the Car Secrets Revealed ebook
Exclusive rights to the Secrets of Buying and Building Your Specialty Car ebook

Well, if you’re short on time and long on money, then you might find it more efficient to outsource the job to a web designer. If you choose this option, make sure the designer has a strong grasp of Internet marketing principles.

There are so many designers out there who know how to build a pretty website — but don’t have the first clue how to create a site that actually SELLS.

As you go through your list of prospective designers, ask each one to supply you with a list of web addresses of other business websites they have designed. Then check those websites out for yourself.  Do they conform to the basic web design principles we describe in our lay out in our best-selling online marketing course?

If the answer is yes, chances are the designer knows what he or she is talking about. But if the answer is no, you might want to keep looking for a designer.

Where to find a good web designer

Doing a search in Google like, “web designers – YOUR CITY NAME” can yield good results. Pay special attention to the sponsored listings above and to the right of the regular listings. If the designer is web-savvy enough to have created their own locally targeted AdWords campaign then chances are they know something about Internet marketing.

If you know some businesses in your area who have great websites, you could always contact the owners and ask them if they wouldn’t mind sharing their designer’s contact info. (Assuming they hired a contractor and don’t have their own designer in house.)

Don’t feel you have to be limited to your local area, either. If you find a designer whose work you love who lives far away, you can still hire them to build your site. It’s easy to communicate via phone and email and share files online.

Who do we recommend?

The few companies we deal with are the best in the business; they know how to build websites that generate sales, and they are customer-service oriented. Plus, they are efficient, creative, and reasonably priced. They can design everything you need from scratch, including graphics and logos — or they can just build it from what you have already.

Check out www.marketingtips.com/webdesign.php for more information.

We’ve set up a special form at the site above that you can fill out with your needs. We will forward your request on to the company that is best suited to your purposes and they will contact you to chat about your needs and provide more information.

What you can reasonably expect to pay

With designers ranging from talented “dabblers” to high-end professionals, the price you may be quoted by a designer can vary greatly. Costs can range anywhere from $20 an hour to $100 an hour. For most work, expect to pay a mid-range price to ensure quality.

The answers make for some really interesting reading for anyone who’s thinking about taking the plunge and starting a home business online. This essay will give you some idea of what you’ll be experiencing in the months ahead. Although your home Internet business may be somewhat smaller than the start-up companies in the article, the challenges and triumphs you’ll face will be the same.

Here’s our favorite quote from the essay, from one of the start-up owners that Graham interviewed:

The emotional ups and downs were the biggest surprise for me. One day, we’d think of ourselves as the next Google and dream of buying islands; the next, we’d be pondering how to let our loved ones know of our utter failure; and on and on.

If you’d like a peek at what your life is going to be like as you start your home business online, read the essay now.
