Most people who get into business know what’s involved. They have completed hours of research before getting into it. That’s great! Even so, we may still have some myths that need to be debunked. Now and forever. We all may have some lingering ideas; after all many have these myths are quite tempting. However, it’s important for serious business owners to quickly get them out of the way so some really forward moves can be made. In the world of the Internet businesses, the industry is rife with myths that ultimately can be as harmless as a distraction or as worse as a serious loss in capital, which could ultimately lead to business failure.

There are many persistent myths out there but we’ll go over the most popular ones.

1. You don’t need money to start! This type of claim coupled with you can make thousands in a few weeks or similar statements have misled many. Although there are some solid marketing techniques that may not cost you anything, it’s unlikely you can start a profitable e-business without a dime.
2. You can get by on free advertising alone. One of the great things about the Internet is that it dramatically reduces startup and overhead costs, including advertising. There are loads of free classified ads costs, but based on my own research most of these sites produce little or no traffic. Majority of the people who visit these sites are just placing their own ads and are rarely interested in spending any money on your product or service. The same is true for “free-for-all” link pages. Once you’ve decided to become a serious e-business owner, you need to step up your game. The idea of getting something for nothing is just as unrealistic online as it is offline.

   Some legitimate free advertising that you can use include link exchanges, banner exchanges, article submission, ad swapping with other e-zines, and forum participation. There are other types of course but the above list gives you an idea. In the case, you are specifically targeting people who are interested in your product or service. Remember prospects, not suspects.

3. You don’t have to deal with people. Many novice small business owners think a few auto responders and occasional e-mail will help them avoid the tedious task of customer service. E-businesses have much lower customer service expenses than other types of businesses but it doesn’t mean you don’t want to provide your customers with options. It’s a good idea to set up a special phone number, during specific hours where your customers can reach you. Even if you have to start with just a voicemail, it’s a start.
4. You can get rich overnight. There is no other way of doing business than over the Internet that offers such a great promise of wealth. The costs of a start-up e-business are minimal but it doesn’t mean that the dollars will pour in. Like any other businesses, success depends on effort, the execution of solid marketing strategies, and most of all a great product or service.
5. You don’t need to be knowledgeable about traditional business practices. People sometimes have the misconception that running an Internet based businesses is completely different than other types. Although e-businesses have their own set of rules, for the most part traditional business practices will go a long way. Regular visits to the Small Business Administration (http://sba.gov) will have novice business owners get their bearings.

This is not a definitive list but it shows some pervasive myths that can potentially get in your way on the road to e-commerce success. Becoming familiar with them will not only help you in your own business endeavor but it will also help you avoid suspicious and far-reaching business propositions.

Over the years, laser hair removal treatment has been accepted and has mushroomed because of a better understanding of its use. Laser hair removal treatment may be the best form of hair removal, but it is not for everyone. Contrary to common conception laser hair removal is not permanent.

During hair removal treatments, lasers operate by producing light at different wavelengths, output and pulse widths. The wavelength establishes the point that the laser falls on, such as melanin (a dark biological pigment), water or veins. Lasers used for hair removal are intended to burn structures that hold dark color pigment. Thus, laser hair removal treatments work better for people with a lighter skin and darker hair. Similar to electrolysis, hair follicles in the growth phase (anagen) are more easily damaged than those in the resting phase (talogen). It should be noted that at least 15% of the time, hair follicles are in the talogen phase. That makes permanent hair removal impossible, and treatments have to be repeated.

Laser treatments are performed by a trained technician or a nurse, and can last from a quarter of an hour to an hour and a half. It is a common occurrence for laser treatments to give an uneasy feeling to the patient. The discomfort is not an issue when small areas are being treated, but it does cause problems when larger areas are treated. There are ways to decrease the degree of discomfort. One is to use ice on the area prior to the laser session. Generally, laser hair removal treatments do not require pain medications or sedatives. The treatment is relatively easy, and it does not take much time to recuperate. Unlike waxing, you can shave prior to treatment. Sometimes, the skin may turn purple, and this condition could last for days. Also, some areas may temporarily form blisters.

There are so many success stories you will hear about businesses
making it good in the internet. The troubling thing is, there
are maybe a tenfold or even a hundredfold of stories
contradictory to theirs. Many have unsuccessfully launched a
business enterprise that is internet based but only a handful
shall succeed.

Is this through luck? That is even more remote. It takes good
business sense and a lot of help and team effort. Most
importantly, it is the eagerness to succeed and the
determination to learn and the willingness to invest in a lot of
hard work and some money.

The Very Basic

Like Neo, traffic is “The One”. Without traffic, all your effort
would just go to waste. Every business needs customers, without
them you wouldn’t have anyone to sell your products to. In the
internet world traffic is the walk in customer. The more traffic
you have the more people would be able to sell your products to.

But like any business that’s in every corner building or in the
mall, not everyone that goes in will buy, but the greater of
number that do come in to browse your merchandise, the greater
number of people that will buy your products. It is a simple and
known fact.

But, how do you get traffic, traffic large enough that could
make a small percentage of eventual buyers enough to make a good
profit. Many big companies generate traffic of tens of thousands
a day and a measly ten to fifteen percent actually buys, but
that small percentage is enough to provide them with good
business.

Many of these success stories get their traffic from paying
others. Yes that’s right; you have to spend money to make money.
Advertising is the key. The more people that knows that your
site exists; the more people would of course go to your site,
that’s common sense.

While there are many ways that can get you advertising for free,
this do not generate the same high volume as those methods that
are getting paid. These paid advertisements include advertising
schemes by Google and Yahoo.

The Value of Searches

The search and will be the easiest and fastest medium in finding
what a person needs in the internet. Search engines have been
very popular because they provide a vital service to many
people. They are free and easy to use. With this popularity,
they get many visitors and clicks that they are the most common
sites that people go to. It is easy to understand why so many
companies would pay to advertise with these search engines.

Search engines provide information to the millions of users that
they have each day. They provide links to many sites that a user
may be looking for. If your sites link pop up in the high ranks
of the search results page, you get a great chance that they
will go to your site. While search engine optimization is a
cheaper and low cost way to get your site a high rank, paying
for advertisements will ensure that you will be on the top ranks.

When you pay for your advertisements, it is like paying for your
traffic. This may sound like not such a good idea, but the
payoffs would tell a different story. When you pay for your
traffic, you are guaranteed of a consistent traffic flow to your
site. You will never go with an empty sales day.

Paying for your Traffic

Usually, you will be charged with the number of hits a link gets
when your ads is clicked, this is called pay per click. For some
search engines, you will be charged with the number of times
your ad shows up when a certain keyword or keyword phrase is
searched. It is imperative that you have good keyword content in
your ad. There are many tools that aid you in using the right
keyword for the right moment.

All the money you spend in paying for your traffic will not be
for naught. You will get an impressive boost in traffic which
will also result to a great boost in your sales figures. Paying
for your traffic would be a really good idea and you will get
all the benefits it has to offer.

If you’ve been in sales for any length of time, or have participated is a sales training program, chances are you’ve been taught to look for “buying signals” from your prospects. Buying signals can be important; but they can also easily be misinterpreted. We recently read an article in which the author equates certain statements or requests from your prospect with indication they are ready to buy. For example:

- Your prospect repeats a question that has been answered fully.
- Your prospect asks for a sample
- Your prospect makes “positive noises.”
- Your prospect makes “any comment or question about price”
- Your prospect asks for references.
- Your prospect asks for your guidance or opinion.
- Your prospect mentions a negative experience with a previous supplier.

Are these buying signals? Maybe. Maybe not. They could simply be questions that serve to clarify or gain an understanding of what you can do for them. Certainly, queries or comments like those listed above indicate that your prospect is at least “playing ball” with you - that they are engaged in an active sales process, and have some level of interest.

If we take these buying signals as gospel, we run a real danger of driving ourselves down a road of false hope toward the land of “Pendingville.” Ever been there? In a meeting, the prospect shows some of these positive signs and you walk out of the meeting feeling like you’ve got the sale in the bag. You follow-up by sending the information the prospect requested, you provide samples, you provide references, you give them a full-blown white paper offering guidance and advice. And then you call them - presumably to close the deal, and your call goes unanswered. You call again. You e-mail. You stop by their office. You send them cute and funny notes. You pray.

In the meantime, your manager asks you how it’s going with the prospect. You tell her, “Looks great, just waiting for the green light to get started.” Week after week, it’s the same story. If you have enough of these prospects in your pipeline, you’re looking forward to next month when you’re sure all of these wonderful people will get back to you with that huge order. And, since you know you will have this huge influx of new business you figure there’s no reason to do any new prospecting because you’re going to be so busy with these new accounts you won’t even have time to handle more.

The next month comes, and nothing happens. Then you start to panic; your boss is wondering what happened to all those huge deals. That Hawaiian vacation you were already planning in your mind vanishes from view. You realize you’d better get busy and get some new things going. And again, the cycle is repeated.

What was missing in this process? The NOT-buying signals. Spending too much time with prospects that either aren’t going to buy or aren’t ready to buy is one of the biggest mistakes that salespeople make - even veterans. By nature, all of us in sales are optimists - we want to believe that everyone who tells us they’re interested is in fact going to buy from us.

To protect ourselves and our income, though, we need to take a step back and sometimes play the cynic. Here are some of the things you should be looking for that could be indicators it’s time to move on:

- Will the prospect agree to a firm next step with you? (For more on this topic see “The Art and Skill of the Next Step.) If not, it may be time to move on.

- Have repeated calls to a seemingly “hot prospect” gone unreturned?

- When you speak to the prospect do you hear something like “I really like your proposal, but I need to do (fill in the blank) to get it moving forward”?

- Another variation of the above: “We really want to move forward, we just need a bit more time”, or “We really want to move forward, but we’ve had some other priorities come up.”

We don’t want to be naysayers, but typically these are signs that the sale is not going to happen; at least not within our normal sales cycle. There could be legitimate reasons as to why the prospect can’t move forward that are beyond your control. So what do you do?

First thing to do is to be on the lookout for anything that sounds like a “not-buying” signal. You want to hear those as early in the sales process as you can so you can spend your time with leads and prospects who are more likely buy within your normal cycle.

Next, if you’re not sure what the real reason might be for not moving forward, ask a question such as “Did we do something wrong?” (That’s also an effective message to leave for someone not returning your calls.) You may be able to get some valuable information that can help you recraft a recommendation, or give you more solid footing on which to move forward.

Finally, always make sure that you have enough coming into your sales pipeline; know how many new appointments you need at any given time in order to achieve you numbers. Don’t allow yourself to get caught in “Pendingville” without a reliable map and escape plan.

How to go about online shopping:

The idea of online shopping has created a

major interest in net users. It is simply buying

and paying through internet anytime anywhere.

You can purchase almost anything online and

need not bother anyone. You can purchase clothes,

cars, computers, groceries, books, machineries etc

. along with real estates. Generally, the transactions

are done through credit cards only. However, there

are some sites, which offer cash on delivery. Though

online shopping is easier and cheaper as they often

offer discounts, yet you could be in trouble at times.

Have you ever thought of choosing a secured and safe

site for your shopping?

Are you sure your transaction is safe?

Let us think about certain facts before going for online shopping,

Are you using a secure browser?

The browser you are using should abide by the industry

security standards. There are Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

and Secure Electronic Transaction (SET). These systems

encrypt the purchase information you send over the net.

Safe sites show the symbol of an unbroken key, a picture

of a closed lock or a web address started with https://.

Remember the letter “S” after http is very important.

Along with that, most of the browsers also display a

warning message before you click to send any information

to a site.

Go for Certificate check:

It is also easy to verify a secure site with a “certificate”.

Presently Verisign,Inc. is a provider of Public Key

Infrastructure (PKI). This company has formed

long-term partnerships with a large no. of other

companies. You can check out www.verisign.com

for further information.

Do not reveal your very personal information unless required:

Always try not to send your password anywhere if you do not

know the receiver. It’s even secured to use a combination of

numbers, letters and symbols in your password instead of using

birth dates, phone numbers etc.

Always pay with a credit card or charge card:

Online shopping is done by credit card or charge

card in order to make the procedure easy. If you

pay with a credit card or charge card, your

transaction will be protected by the Fair Credit

Building Act. According to the law, consumers

have every right to dispute the charges against

certain situations.

It is always better to invest small amount while

buying online for the first time. Try them a couple

of times and then go for more investments. Using

one card only for online shopping will make your life

much comfortable. Do not forget to keep hard copies

of your purchase order and confirmation number.

Think twice before filling up a form online:

In maximum websites, you need to register yourself

in order to buy things. This form is sometimes very

risky as with just a click of your mouse all your

information could be sent to anywhere. If you are

sending any private information then it’s better to

think twice. Generally the sites want to know

whether you are new to online shopping or what

kind of products you are interested in etc. but

sometime they ask for your e-mail id, password,

mailing address and phone number.

Ask yourself before pouring out all such information:

1) Are they at all required?

2) Should I trust the owners of the site?

3) What about the site’s privacy policy?

4) Is it a secure site at all?

5) What my friends/ relatives/ colleagues feel about this site?

After giving yourself proper and satisfactory replies, you can go forward.

Even after having a through knowledge about the site,

if unfortunately you come across some problems there

are agencies, which could help you.

1) The Publication Analyzing Internet

Information (PM 1789b)

2) Iowans can contact the Iowa Attorney General’s

Office at (515) 281-5926.

3) Federal Trade Commission

at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menu-internet.htm.

4) National Fraud Information Center

at http://www.fraud.org.

5) Call for Action, Inc.

at http://www.callforaction.org/

6) Consumer Information Center at

http://www.pueble.gsa.gov/

Shopping online is definitely enjoyable and interesting.

Your online shops are open for 24 hours a day under

any circumstances. It gives you the pleasure and

comfort to buy with just a few clicks on your mouse.

You can go for research before buying a product,

such as can check out the price range, utility, others’

opinion and many more things. As everything has

its good and bad sides, online shopping is not an

exceptional case. Sometime you might have to pay

more as the price includes shipping charges and other

delivery options. Even it takes time to open up pages

where you could be able to see the products.

Along with all the pros and cons, online shopping is just

“in”. Maximum people prefer getting things delivered at

their doorstep even if they have to pay more. However,

before ordering anything online, think and try these out.

If you feel you are secured, go ahead and happy shopping
