Let's Talk - Where Are You With Your Online Business?

[Gweb]

Well, I've progressed from spinning my wheels to making some forward motion. I've had 2 sales, with less than 20 unique visitors a day. I can't tell you what a shot of confidence those 2 sales have made! It at least proves there's a market out there for this! If there's 2 people out there who will buy it, well then...

I agree that finding the right network of people to become visible to is the hardest thing. And consistency. And back-linking (groan). But I'm just gonna keep chipping away at it! Keep blogging, keep linking, etc.

The hardest thing for me right now is list building. There's still some intimidation factor about talking to people over email. I don't know why that is. It's not much different from blogging.

Does anyone have any suggestions for some good list building ideas?

Thanks, Lynn, for being such an inspiration to so many people!

Welcome Gweb, glad to have you here!

You'll find the posts on Lynn's blog in the email marketing category very helpful.

My best tip is to just do it. I use a lot of PLR for my mailings but I also incorporate my personal stuff into it as well. I don't leave the PLR as is. PLR is great for ideas too.

Hi Lynn,

I have a cosmetic online store for about 3 months now. At first it was for fun but now I'd like to make it grow. I'm a total newbie in online working world and still looking for some ideas and tips to be a successful online worker. I'm also looking for online jobs that can make money soon because I'm quite tired with my current job in pharmaceutical industry and have plan to leave it as soon as possible.

Thanks for the tips in your website and this forum. Hope they can help me find my way

Welcome Gweb & ctintje!

The best thing to do is start a new post on the main forum, with your specific questions. We can brainstorm from there and keep everything in one thread. I'll keep an eye out for those. ;-)

Hello all: I'm so glad to be back. I missed a lot during the summer because I moved. Was just nicely getting settled when my dad was hospitalized and came to live with me when he was released. It took awhile to get homemakers in place but I'm finally working steadily again.

I caught the Brainstorming Hour when I was able. I am so pleased with the value of the Elite membership. It's one of the best investments I've made online. The group is so helpful. Although I haven't interacted a lot, I've been watching on the sidelines, and I'm looking forward to getting out of first gear.

I have worked on my book for Kindle and have it completed. I'm trying to change the cover graphic to reflect my description in the story and that's been giving me some trouble. I posted on here today and got some suggestions. My next step will be to listen to a couple of trainings again and get it formatted properly.

I have a good start on my blog to promote it. I don't have a sales letter yet but I'm thinking that when I get it completed, I could upload it because Amazon would be promoting it and then get the sales letter and my promotion set up. Or should I just get that all finished first?

I've done three variations of the colors for the cover. I'm thinking of asking for votes in exchange for an audio version.

As soon as I get this layering thing figured out, I'll upload the cover to get some feedback. I'm getting anxious, it's been a long time coming.

Great to see you back on the forum!

Start a thread in the private forum on that, and let's dig in and brainstorm. ;-)
