Do You Believe Your Internet Business Plan Could Fail?

Yesterday we talked about you answering questions about your passions,interests,desires. Before starting your Internet Business Plan it was recommended you do some soul searching to see what makes you tick.

How did you do with the exercise?

Did you learn some things about yourself?

Do you have a clear picture of what it is you are really looking for?

Since you have completed that part of what we will call the Pre-Plan work, now it is time to move on to understand what content you should be looking for.

Your passion and interests will greatly effective the niche you choose, you want to make sure there is actually a market out there for your particular niche. What you like is not necessarily going to relate to the Internet Audience’s interests. The only way your business will ever have a chance at success is dependent on who is looking for your product and/or services.

Your content is going to be dependent on what it is the Internet Community is looking for not what you think they are looking for. If you complete your research properly the data will confirm what it is your audience is interested in, again not what you think they are interested in.

There have been thousands of websites created on people assuming what someone else would be interested in. Some of the best looking sites out there have the worst sales results while an ugly site could be raking in thousands per month.

Not only is it important to research to find out what it is people are looking for on the internet but you need to believe in the statistics, take what the data is telling you and work with it. Do Not Ignore the Facts – This one piece of advice could save you months of work and lost revenue, which could be as high as thousands.

What keywords are people plugging into Google to find the answers to their problems?

As an example, if someone wants to know what HTML is they would type in “What is HTML” and the first thing they should see is a web definition for HTML. You will notice there are 74,300 other sites using this phrase as a keyword exact phrase to attract traffic.

Does this mean you have no chance at being successful using this keyword phrase?

Not necessarily, right now you know what your competition is, 74300 other sites using this keyword phrase but what you need to know to understand your chances for success using this keyword phrase is how many searches are being performed each month for this keyword phrase.

Using Micro Niche Finder, state of the art keyword research tool, as of this writing there was 4,400 searches completed on that actual keyword phrase in the past 30 days. According to Micro Niche this keyword phrase is definitely worth going after.

Compared to unique searches versus competition it should be a relatively lucrative keyword to go after and attract traffic with.

Once you have a decent list of keywords within your niche (2000-4000) you are ready to explore a bit further.

Who is your target market and what are they buying?

This is where things get a bit more in depth as you are looking for demographics of your audience and buying habits.

There is a really neat site called Quantcast, where you will find the demographics of your audience. What you need to do is record the top 20 websites in your niche – this should have been found in your Google searching during the research phase.

Type each name in to Quantcast and understand the results you are getting back – this is really not that difficult – take a look at the different descriptions and then record the details for each website. We found either an excel spreadsheet or an open office spreadsheet was best suited for this exercise.

Once you understand who your audience is search ask.com to find out the buying habits of your audience or Google analytics would be a great place to go as well. We offer courses on this type of action if you would like some help in this area – leave a comment or drop us a line if it would be something you would be interested in – Once we have interest from a minimum of 20 individuals we would start our next class in March 2009.

Your Internet Business Plan has a great base – so far you know your passions, interests and desires, now you also know more about your audience than 90% of most newbies starting an Internet Business today do.

Tomorrow we will review some more resources you need to know about in order to have a successful research project on your internet business plan. Click on the RSS Feed to continue to follow us throughout this project and quest to become successful online by learning from a company who knows.

Have You Completed Your Internet Business Plan?

If you haven’t completed or even started your Internet Business Plan we can help you here. Throughout the next week we will be reviewing the key components to Internet Marketing which are directly related to your business plan.

During the first few days we will be paying particular attention to “The Plan”.

The Plan starts with one thought. The thought starts with you. You started the thought because there is something in your life you want or need:

  • Financial Freedom
  • Time with Your Family
  • Special Trips
  • To be an independent professional
  • A New Truck, Car or Van
  • Everyday to be like a day at the Spa
  • A New Wardrobe or maybe New Shoes (perhaps both)
  • Basically whatever your heart desires which is morale and legal

The magic question is how can you get whatever your heart desires?

Even though this is a great question, the answer is far from being a one liner, there are so many variables to consider:

The first one is you:

  1. What are Your Passions and Interests?
  2. What Knowledge do you have in Your Subject?
  3. How Committed are you to learning and building your online business?
  4. What Time Sacrifices are you willing to make?
  5. How Deep is Your Desire to Learning and Building Your Internet Business?
  6. Where Do You See Yourself by the End Of 2009? 2010? 2011?

If you are new to the Internet Community then you will soon realize an online presence has nothing to do with location. It has everything to do with your content:

  • The Niche You Choose
  • The Content You Write
  • How You Speak To Your Audience
  • What Words Are Your Prospective Customers using to find information in your niche? (Keywords or Keyword phrases)
  • Who is Your Target Market?
  • What are they buying?

Before you go any further you need to answer all of the questions presented here. Yes there are a lot of questions to consider so lets start with the questions about you and then we will move into the questions related to content.

Before creating your Internet Business Plan you need to search your heart to understand what has moved you to your current desire to create an online presence. No amount of teaching or instructions will help you to be successful unless you are passionate about the product or service you are building you business on.

For today we will stop here and tomorrow lets review the questions on content.
