Gary Harvey Blog

It’s makeover time at GaryHarvey.net

This blog is being repurposed. To what it should have been from the very beginning.

A bit about me.
And my sites.
And what I’m doing online.
And why.
And things I’m learning along the way.

Hey, I’m always learning – it’s one of the joys of being online. I dont have to punch a time clock and I can afford the time to indulge any side interest that should grab my focus.

Okay, that can be a problem. Because the internet is such an interesting place. So much to see… which really means so many distractions… which makes it terribly difficult to maintain a single focus. But on the other hand, that also adds to the fun of the game.

Right now, I want to work some more on fixing up the blog. So I’ll talk to you again later.

A majority of those who visit a new website have no intention of purchasing anything. Most of the time, those who visit new sites are surfing the Internet for information, and happen to stumble crossways your website. There are a few impulse buyers out there though, buyers that will buy from your site on the first visit. Although most visitors will leave without buying anything, you?ll find yourself wondering why your visitor counter keeps increasing and your income aren?t improving.

To get the most from your sales and capitalize on visitors who happen to visit your site without making a purchase, you?ll need a way to follow up with your visitors several times. An email list is one way to do it, as you can show your product to the same market as many times as you like.

To successfully manage an email subscriber list, you?ll need something known as an autoresponder. An autoresponder is a great quality to your website, as it can handle virtually any email you receive. You can think of these tools as salesmen who never get sick and are always there to answer emails 24 hours a day ? 7 days a week. They will also follow up with your clients when you instruct them to do so, continuing to add information to your database as well.

There are literally thousands of home based internet businesses that have been started over the past few years, with many being hugely successful, while others failing miserably. The question that many people are trying to figure out is how do you know when a business like this operated over the Internet will be successful.

Starting home based Internet businesses is risky and calls for a different approach. Many investors will test the waters so to speak, with trials and will complete their research on the Internet to determine how much competition there is, what services or products are being offered and evaluate whether they can be successful in their chosen area.

In this article let’s consider why and Internet home business is not hard to do regardless of your current experience level.First of all the words Home Internet Business are kind of misleading. The reason I say that is you can actually operate an Internet Business anywhere in the world that you have connection to the Internet.

It is no secret. The more links you can obtain, the higher your site will rank in Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Not all website owners, however, are aware of how many ways there are to obtain links.

These ten activities frequently produce excellent results.

1. Submit your site to directories. There are well over 1,000. Some require a reciprocal link or payment, but most are free.
