You'll find millions of business opportunties on the Internet. However, very few as a percentage, are worth your time.
Below is an article that I have written about the subject, I very much follow, and the reasons that you need to pay close attention to the numbers that are presented by business opportunties.
BUILDING SOLUTIONS to 3 INTERNET MARKETING PROBLEMS
Avoiding the numbers in Internet marketing can be the biggest mistake you make. First of all, in Internet Marketing, few people seem to look at the numbers -- Good business opportunities present the sales numbers in ways that make sense. However, on the Internet numbers and the income claims made with them give away many marketing plans.
The biggest mistake you can make marketing online is not paying attention to the numbers that are generated by affiliate and marketing programs. First of all, in Internet Marketing, few people seem to look at the numbers -- Good business opportunities present the sales numbers in ways that make sense. However, on the Internet numbers and the income claims made with them give away many marketing plans.
Take for example many multi-level marketing program (MLM) that give examples of income based on sales of sponsored representatives, which require an army of reps to make a good income.
Where does that type of business keep growing? How does such a business model expand? Usually, marketers of such businesses don't sell and build customer relationships. They end up recruiting more and more sales people...
AND THIS IS WHERE the NUMBERS FALL APART from the BUSINESS PLAN.
Another example of misrepresentation of numbers is where affiliate programs use site traffic to talk about "X" number of sales per month, week and even a day. Then they come up with an annual figure. Usually, only one or two affiliates will be able to reach such sales figures.
In this case you need to look at your own traffic and ask yourself what type of sales figures you can generate with your existing traffic.
Should you take the next step and join such a program, then the first decision is to do SPLIT TESTING to see what sales copy works best for an Affiliate program. Often you may need to PRE-SELL a reader before they go to the actual sales page.
Just a quick test like this over a few days can tell if the niche will be profitable or not over a period of time. As an Affiliate Marketer, you can also tell a lot about what will happen by viewing the success rates of other marketers as seen by 7 and 30 day activity of other in reports from Commissions Junction shows such details. In Clickbank, the gravity also helps you see what success other Affiliates are having.
Lastly, the numbers are really skewed when the ONLINE GURU's take examples of their success stories and tell you that you can "do the same" --this usually it never works, but often by the time you have found out about it, 100 or even 1,000 others have already used the ideas and you are number 1020 and it does not work well at all.
There are a lot of people out there who have purchase PIP SITES (plug-in-profit) type sites that are prebuilt and you can just enter a custom ID and you’re ready to MAKE SALES!
If you are considering such a purchase of a PIP type site, you can do this quick check. Look for a unique sequence of words in the example or iive PIP site. Then go to Google and search the sequence of words *wrapped* in quotes, like this: “my unique sequence of words” and then Google will return a number that shows how many times the search engine has found that word sequence online. So, even if the PIP site is distributed on a lot of domains, you’ll find out how many “sites” you are completing with.
These are some of the numbers that you need to watch carefully to make sure that you are getting involved with an program that can become very successful in your hands. To accomplish that pay close attention to the number and what they mean and what the potential market is for those products.
If you ignore those numbers, you might as well kiss your time and money good bye –they are often the result of ignoring the numbers. Should you like to find a different approach, then see the RICH SAGE!
