The Two Most Successful Internet Business Models
|
|
|
|
 To become a successful Internet marketer, it is useful to examine successful Internet business models and then see where you can fit in. It definitely beats trying to re-invent the wheel or coming up with a totally new untried and untested business model.
For starters chances of success are much higher when you go with a business model that has been a proven success again and again.
Affiliate Marketing Business Model
So far there is little doubt that this has been by far the most successful Internet business model. There are some huge advantages of being in a position where you can refer others to a service or product, which is exactly what an affiliate does. Prospects are more confident of the offering because the person referring them is actually putting their reputation on the line by recommending the website or product that they are an affiliate to. Affiliate programs started off with Amazon.com and today are the most effective marketing method to build up traffic to a website.
Affiliate Marketing has grown into very big business because of the amounts being earned by many successful affiliates. Some of them earn as much as a hundred thousand dollars or more in a single month. This is the most attractive model for anybody planning to invest in an Internet business because it also gives a person the best chance to learn the ropes.
The really successful affiliates usually get their own domains and websites as this is the most efficient way of marketing anything online.
Selling Information Products
This is another very successful Internet marketing business model. The huge attraction of this kind of business is it is very easy to distribute information online. Then there is the fact that there is a huge demand for information online. In fact the term infopreneur instead of entrepreneur is being widely used online these days. The idea here is to create a special report or eBook on a subject that you are very familiar with and then market and sell the information online.
All indications are that the true potential of this business is yet to be seen.
So these are the two models of two leading Internet marketing businesses that have produced numerous success stories online. Thus if you are looking for online success you can start by focusing on one of these two areas. Then your chances of succeeding will be much higher.

 So, other than the RT ad, I’ve printed up bookmarks to take to RT and RWA Nationals, I’ve signed up for a radio interview on Jewel’s Way weekly radio show, and I signed partials of my book that I had printed up at the Glendale Chocolate Affair.
Shalla: So how long is your book staying on inventory? And where do we find it? Where do we get it?
Tina: I have a two year contract with Triskelion and as long as one sells now and then off the site, it will stay on for the full two years.
We at Shalla Chats send our highest wishes for success and blessings to you and your writing career. Thanks so much for taking this time to talk with us. We look forward to your future books.

The High Cost of a Six-Figure Book Advance
|
|
|
|
 *Do you really need a six-figure book advance?*
For many authors, five figures are plenty, especially for a first book. Even if it loses money, that book will create the leverage the author needs to succeed in other aspects of her business. (That’s one reason self-publishing can be such a good option for business book authors.) Getting a smaller advance still takes work and costs money, but it’s a much more manageable goal for a first time author without fifty grand to invest in getting into the bookstores.

| A good theme does three things: 1) it describes the story or book; 2) it captures the uniqueness of the story or book; 3) it motivates the author. If it accomplishes these three things, it will also make your outline easier to create. In business-speak, an “elevator speech” is a brief description about your company that you should be able to give to someone in the time it would take to ride up an elevator. I hold that everyone writing a book needs an elevator speech, or theme, for it.
