Three Reasons To Get Into Internet Marketing

The Internet has revolutionized the way businesses, both large and small, can advertise their products and services and attract new customers. One small webpage or set of articles submitted to article directories can start a pure blizzard of traffic to any website that provides what their customers want.

The same marketing revolution can work for the wave of Internet Marketers with ebooks, software and services to sell to anyone wanting either good information or help. It's not difficult and can make you a lot of money.

Here's three reasons marketing on the Internet should be in your game plan:

** Starting an online business is easy

Compared to a business in the normal sense, in cities and small towns all over the world, online businesses do not require large amounts of money, time or equipment. If done right, your online business can start making money and profit for you in days, instead of months or years.

** Doesn't cost much to start

With Internet Marketing, you do not have to build, buy or lease a building or storefront for your business. There's no costs for new office furniture, employees, equipment, insurance, salaries and vacations. What's not to like?

What you will have to spend minimal money on is:

Hosting fees for your new website, which start at "Free" and can run anywhere from $5 a month to much more...many good hosting services can be had for $5 or $10 a month. Research it.

Autoresponder fees to send your customers automatic "Thank You" emails and updates on your products. Use any good search engine to find the service that fits your needs.

Design costs can be pricey, but can be avoided if you know how to create your own headers, attention-grabbing bullets and "Buy Now" buttons. There's graphic collections all over the Internet for website graphics that you can purchase for a reasonable price and use on your own website.

Copywriting can make or break your Internet Marketing business. Your sales page has to be compelling enough to make your visitors take action and buy your products or services. If you cannot do it yourself, consider hiring a professional copywriter or ghostwriter to do it for you. Whatever it costs, it will be money well spent in the increased sales it will bring.

** Running your own business from your home gives you complete freedom

You get to set your own hours, forget about getting dressed up and driving to an office or store in traffic and enjoy your family everyday... not just on weekends. A successful Internet Marketing business can change your whole life and dramatically increase the quality of that life.

It's your dream...start living it!

Broadband - A Cure for Financial Isolation?

Broadband speeds differ a tremendous amount throughout the UK, but if you're "out in the country", it's a fair bet that the speeds you're experiencing are far from what you would like.

A study published by the Commission for Rural Communities (CRC) has revealed that a mere 4.3% of customers is rural areas get a download speed of over 4Mbps, compared to 30% of customers in towns and cities. The report also uncovered some other disappointing figures, with regards to rural access to ATM's, banks and Post Offices. As around a fifth of the UK's population live outside of towns an cities, its surprising that less than 10% of the UK's ATM's can be found in such location's.

According to the report, many rural residences have to travel just over a mile before they will reach a Post office, and around 2.5 miles for an ATM, bank or building society!

Even though broadband speeds are fairly disappointing for people "out in the sticks", it's not a matter that isn't being addressed. The findings of the report have urged the private sector to better cooperate and understand the needs of the rural residence. One example of this is plans put forward by the British Bankers' Association to make available more ATM's and so-called 'mobile banks' in rural areas over the coming years.

It's worth noting though, that currently 15.7 million Britons are making use of their banks online services. Therefore, even if your broadband connection is poor, there should be no reason you too can't benefit from such services.
