Introduction

I want to welcome you to the fastest growing industry on the planet.  The internet was invented in 1990 by computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee.  He created what came to be called the World Wide Web, and it has changed the way people do business.  The internet has not only changed the realm of business but the entire information landscape.  The internet has been growing ever since, and if you are one of those people who think that the web has seen its peak, think again.  “Only 40% of the internet’s global potential has been utilized so far in 2015,” says the LA Times.  Not that people aren’t using it, quite the contrary.  The stat says that 60% of the world is underdeveloped, and when countries in Africa catch up to the level of technology that Europe is at, the eCommerce economy will be like an overflowing pipe, with many more consumers than there are online businesses.

You are here because you want to profit from the current exploding market and the sure future that it has.  By starting an online business, you are laying your section of pipe for the oil to flow through.

Chapter I

The first step in owning a successful online business is having a product to sell.  When it comes to what they make money on, online businesses are just like any other business.  Brick and mortar, door to door, even Apple, they all have products.  Your product does not have to be a physical good or even a service.  It can be a digital product like this eBook, a subscription to an online magazine, or a website template.  If you already have a physical business, and you want to market it via sales funnels and online stores, don’t stop reading, because all of this information can be applied to get more customers.

“I don’t have a product!  Can I still have an online business?”

Yes!  You have the most opportunity here than anyone!  If you don’t already have a product to sell, decide if you want to sell physical products or digital.  If you want to sell physical products, it will require a lot more of a business plan.  You will have to connect with manufacturers and shipping companies etc.  Or, you can make a digital product like the ones mentioned above.  What the wealthiest online entrepreneurs sell are other people’s products.  They market and close the sales for other companies’ products and receive heavy commissions.

Chapter II

This will help you get a head start on how to dominate your market in social media.  The biggest number one tip you could ever receive, is that social media marketing is like any other skill and that you will get better with practice.  Don’t worry if your first few tweets don’t get much traction, it will come with time.  Make sure that you are paying attention to the stats and impressions that a tweet has, not the amount of likes, although they help.

There are many different social media websites and there are many ways to market them.  For beginners, your focus should be on the Big Three: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.  These are arguably the most effective and broad online networks, so one or a combination of these networks should be in your marketing plan.

Chapter III

I want you to picture yourself waking up every morning, logging into your bank account, and seeing commission notification after commission notification flooding your statement.  Not only are you making more than your closest three friends combined, but you are living the lifestyle of your dreams.  You know that when you go on your vacation with your family next week to Cancun, you will be laying in the sun on the beach sipping a pina colada and still be making money.  That is paradise.  That is your paradise.

I am about to give you the one secret that the most successful online business owners don’t want you to know because, with this knowledge, you become their competition.  Successful business after business, they all have one thing in common: lead software.  The wealthiest online entrepreneurs are all purchasing and installing lead software to their online business
