Making a Fortune Online

Making a Fortune Online

The fact that most internet marketing websites have a similar design may be one of my issues with them.

They use a similar typeface and highlighter to say the same things.

It appears as though there is a subpar web designer making a fortune someplace!

Businesses were undoubtedly inventive during the height of the initial internet boom, when business principles were disregarded.

Ideas were the currency, and you could gain millions of dollars with a wonderful concept even before it was carried out.

It was insufficient to just have a website; you needed to be unique.

Yes, they were more show than substance, but at least now we have some under-the-hood features with a minimal “Wow!” factor.

I’m going to issue you a challenge: put down the computer and stop attempting to emulate someone else’s achievement.

While it’s encouraging to hear that people may achieve such success and to learn from their strategies and best practices, forge your own route! A few readers, I venture, would prefer to walk ahead of the group than follow it.

It’s dull to be just another website trying to split the money pot when there are so many other websites and plenty of material.

Why not do something extraordinary if you are willing to make the effort?

Allow me to back up a few steps.

When you first start out, it’s crucial to take small steps—steps that might not be very creative or groundbreaking but enable your vision to soar.

Walt Disney thought in a very unconventional way.

A lot of brilliant businesspeople get made fun of when they’re young.

The media referred to Disneyland as “Disney’s Folly” because they didn’t think it would succeed.

You should be prepared for some mockery if you dare to express a wild concept.

Imagine announcing to your loved ones that you are going to launch a free-to-all online business.

Yes, free.

With its email platform, Hotmail, a small business, set out to achieve just that.

Nobody reading this page doesn’t know someone who has a Hotmail account or hasn’t heard of them, and they were the first and free.

Hotmail was aware of what the late nineties will hold as exceptional.

Take a paid service, make improvements, and provide it for free.

The website sells so much advertising that Microsoft chose to join the fray and, instead of going up against them, just bought them out and rebranded them as it is now.

The idea of “finding what people are paying for on the Internet and giving it away free” is still sound, but more elements might be required for it to become really popular.

What kind of thing is that?

That’s the million-dollar question, and if you can figure it out, you might be able to turn that concept into a few zeros!

All of this being said, you have to start somewhere, and it’s best to start with someone who has demonstrated some accomplishment.

Therefore, locate a mentor and pick their brains about the ropes.

Then, aim to score a knockout as you leap into the ring!

Do eBooks Represent All Books?

There was a well-known proverb that supported the internet throughout its early stages of development:

“Information wants to be free.”

The internet, while by no means outdated, is standing, solid, and sprinting forward with two powerful legs that demand access to information:

“Information wants to be on the internet!”

This declaration initially caused other information-related industries, such as publishing and print media, to tremble or even backpedal.

Fortunately, newspapers rapidly collected themselves and ventured online, first as supplements to their printed forms and eventually as their main distribution channel.

They quickly realized the implications of the internet.

Conversely, books emerged gradually at first, albeit slowly, but they seem to have taken off overnight, much like the internet.

Books are being digitalized, or turned into eBooks, in ever-growing quantities.

While industry statistics differ, some sources currently estimate that eBook sales account for 35% of all annual book sales.

Similarly, book reviewers are progressively turning their critical eyes from conventional hardcover and softcover books to eBooks, which either exist only in digital format or serve as substitutes for their physical counterparts.

Furthermore, not only do eBook reviewers now frequently offer highly influential thumbs up or down votes for particular eBooks, but entire websites are accessible for the purpose of reviewing, cataloging, and other information-gathering on eBooks across an ever-expanding range of subjects.

The breadth of reading content included in an eBook’s pages actually goes beyond traditional self-help eBooks, which are currently very popular and profitable.

It even includes the canon of literature, which was previously limited to books that were leather-bound and gold-leafed and contained works by authors like Homer and Shakespeare.

Huge search engines are years into creating systems that will digitize the printed word, with GoogleTM leading the way (with Yahoo!, Microsoft’s MSN, and the bookstore Amazon.com in tow).

Even though traditional book publishers have been hurling copyright infringement lawsuits like spears, efforts have been made to digitize a number of sizable libraries whose materials are currently in the public domain and hence not protected by copyright law.

For example, Microsoft is now digitizing 100,000 books from the British Library.

Furthermore, Random House started digitizing parts of its collection recently, becoming the first of the big traditional publishing houses to recognize that selling eBooks would be necessary for their survival.

At last, Amazon.com is implementing a less expensive substitute, a “pay-per-view” model that is akin to borrowing books from a library for a small charge.

Many experts believe that in the future, anything we read will only be available online.

Currently, less trustworthy internet information will be replaced by digital versions of trusted offline information.

Even more, information access will be sold separately to meet individual wants and preferences.

Some examples are a recipe from a chef without the full cookbook, a passage from the Bible without both testaments, a single chapter pertinent to a student’s research, and the ability to visit a foreign place without having to carry about a country’s entire guidebook.

The digitization of information is still in its early stages, but what’s great for the regular Joe and Jane, Smith or Jones, is that there are plenty of opportunities for them to become the main players, leading the way and (thus) benefiting from this revolution.

The time has come to digitize your existing knowledge and information repositories.

Unaware of what I mean?

See, hundreds of others achieved the same goal by reading the plethora of information that is constantly being added to eBook review websites.

These individuals took what they were good at or what piqued their interest and turned it into an eBook that is now sold to and shared with other like-minded individuals who wish to learn from the experience of another (and possibly former!) Joe, Jane, Smith, or Jones.

If not, are you uninterested in being an entrepreneur?

Not an issue.

Websites that evaluate eBooks are still a great place to start your research.

There are connections to authors’ eBooks as well as to eBook exchanges and vendors advertising libraries of eBooks in an incredible array of different genres.

In any case, you’ll be up and running with the understanding that information “wants to be online” in addition to “wanting to be free.”
