[I427]Internet Business Phone Service
by Steve Pavis, Ste

Internet business services require less overhead—you no longer need a brick and mortar store—and it also allows you to provide niche business services and products that may have gathered dust in traditional locations. Plus, internet business services give you the advantage of being able to work at home!

However, not all business services succeed. Before you invest in your business services, you have to determine if your business services will attract enough customers to generate a profit.

And the only way to determine if your internet business services has potential is to conduct research. Use solid facts to serve as the foundation of your business services. One thing you have to find out is if there is a sufficient demand for your internet business services.

Let's say your business services involve selling diet pills in the Philippines. How much does the average person make, what price points would they be open to, and does the majority of their population fall under the age group and income bracket that your business service will cater to? If there aren't enough consumers, then no amount of marketing will help.

You also have to look at the competition. What are other business services meet the same need? There may not be that many business services supplying diet pills, but if there are a number of diet teas then they will be eating into the market. Better find another niche with less competition.

You should also look at your revenue streams. How can your business services earn? Will you be getting your income from online sales, affiliate commission revenue, advertising revenue, email marketing?

Once you've determined that you have potentially successful business services, work on creating a unique, interesting and useful website. Launch it—and let the sales roll in!


Autoresponders are a handy tool for your online internet business. An autoresponder is a program that automatically sends out pre-written messages at the pre-selected times. These messages are sent out to anyone who requests information from a certain email address, fills out a form on your website, etc.

They can be used for ecourses, tutorials, articles, (with follow-ups) newsletters, mailing lists, free reports, general information or questions, and more. Autoresponders can help automate your online business so you have more time to spend helping customers, etc. One word of caution - do not lose the personal touch. Autoresponders are very helpful, but do not rely on them to run your whole business. You need to maintain personal contact with your customers.

If you have an email address on your site where people can email for more info or a free report; try spicing it up with an autoresponder. The autoresponder will send out the information/report immediately. You can then add several follow-ups to the existing info and they will all be delivered automatically! This frees up your time and also gives the customer the requested info instantly.

NOTE: Be sure and give the customer the option to opt out or refuse the follow-ups if they so choose. You do not want to be reported for spam. This can also be set up with the autoresponder.

You might want to set it up something like this:

A person responds to an email on your site for more information on a particular service or product. Your first autoresponder message goes out immediately thanking them for their inter rest and giving them all the basic info as requested. Maybe add some testimonials. Personalize the message with their name, if possible.

A couple of days later message #2 goes out telling about your experience, credentials and more testimonials. Then message #3 a few days later could be a free report with information pertaining to your products. If you sell home decor items, offer some decorating tips with your products being the subject.

After that come s message #4 with any specials or sales you may have coming up. Message #5 could be a final grab for the sale and you could also let them know about your ezine, if you have one or other free resources/services you provide.

I have also used autoresponders for my articles and ecourses. I put each article on an autoresponder with a couple follow-ups and then I also have a master list of all my articles. I promote the address of the master list from which people can automatically receive the individual articles and follow-ups.

An autorepsonder also works very well for ecourses and tutorials. Put each lesson separately and have them sent out a couple days apart to keep you in the customers mind.

Don't wait too long in between or people will forget about you and the tutorial. At the end of the ecourse, you can add a couple of follow-ups or maybe a survey on how they like the ecourse with a free report or ebook as a thank you.

Use your imagination and marketing talents. The possibilities are endless with autoresponders.

Simply do a search for autoresponders and you will have plenty to choose from. I have always used GetResponse. There are free ones as well, but the features will be limited. But depending on what you are using them for, free might work for you.

Once you set up your autoresponders, they can be marketing your products/services for you 24/7, which could increase your sales and income substantially!
