Editor's Notes:
=====================================================

Hello Subscribers!

We have some short articles for you this week to help
jump-start your internet business, whether you are
a seasoned netrepreneur or a surfer-turned-internet-
business-newbie.

Learn how to boost your sales through niche marketing
and then learn how to price your products and services
so that you make the profit you are seeking.

When you are finished planning your next move in your
internet existence, take a break and play the java-
script games in the Webmaster Selections column. Add
them to your site and give your visitors a bit o' fun
too.

Think I'll go play some games now - don't often do that.

Til l8ter,

Deborah mailto:editor@...

1. "Want A BIG Boost In Sales? Market To Lots Of
Niches" by Carol Cook * Allenbeys.com
=====================================================

When most of us think of racking up massive sales, we
imagine a product or service that EVERYONE will want.
The person who comes up with the next paperclip or
comb will strike it rich, right?

Mass appeal products do garner massive sales, BUT
getting your product on the radar screen of millions
of consumers is an extremely difficult and expensive
task. Even large corporations who spend millions
often miss the mark and their product winds up
remaindered on the shelves of discount dollar stores.

A much better way to turn your ideas into profits is
to market to niches. A niche is a tightly defined
group of consumers who are deeply interested in a
specialized line of products or services.

Not everyone is interested in fine clocks, but
thousands of people ARE and will pay good prices for
them. A web site that becomes known as a center for
fine Austrian grandfather clocks might easily outpace
a site selling $10 watches. Put simply, it is better
to sell to a few people who REALLY want your product
than a lot of people who don't care much about what
you sell.

This is particularly true on the Internet. Sites
like Amazon.com and E-Bay are jockeying for the 20%
anchor store position. Meanwhile, niche audiences
account for a whopping 80% of online consumers and
commerce.

You can turn niche sales into big sales by catering
to lots of good niche audiences. At Allenbeys we
offer a very large collection of carefully niched
pages offering 16,000 items from 15 countries.

These aren't the kinds of products you would likely
find at Walmart or Kmart. People flock to our online
store to discover the stunning, the unusual, the hard
to find, and the one-of-a-kind.

History buffs revel in our replicas of blunderbusses,
suits of armor, Samurai swords, and Sherlock Holmes
Chess Sets. Think about it a moment. Where else can
you find a realistic blunderbuss if that's what you
really want? - (and you might be surprised at the
thousands of people who take great delight in
historical objects like these).

Start creating your niche empire. Find an audience
that deeply craves a hard-to-find item. Then add to
your success by uncovering more niche groups whose
loyalty and sales you can quickly attract by
satisfying their specialized needs.

4. Tip - Are you too cheap? Are you making a profit?
=====================================================

What price do you set your product or service at?
If you are toooo cheap, no one will think that your
product or service has any value. If you are tooooo
high, your visitors will go elsewhere.

So what is the right price?

Idea - let your visitors help you decide the right
price for your product.

There is some wonderful software available to help
you do just that - to survey your visitors for the
right price that THEY would pay for your product or
service.

And, the best part is that it is free. (Well,
sort of.) It is the concept of Buy now...Pay
Maybe. A new twist on the demo or trial version
idea. Still, you get a full working version that
will help you start earning profits today.

I'm going to go try mine out now.
