Building a Successful Online BusinessBruce Eckman - Quick IntroductionI’m
Bruce Eckman, Founder of EZ-NetTools Incorporated. You know, I must
have been born with small business in my blood. I started my first
business when I was just five years old! Over the years I’ve
started and worked in over a dozen different companies and worked on the
board of directors of several organizations. For the past 17 years
I’ve worked with thousands of small and home based businesses, to help
them be more successful on the Internet.
Success Story: A Girl and Her Saddle Company A
few years ago, There was a high school girl. She went to her dad and
told him she wanted a car. He thought for a moment and replied, “Get a
job”. She thought about it for a while and then came back to her
dad. She said “Dad, I want to start a business. Will you help me?” So
the dad helped his daughter start a home based business selling horse
riding gear online using EZ-NetTools. I used to, once a week get a
report of the “Top Companies” on our system and on that report, I
noticed this “horse riding gear company” rising toward the top on my
list. I like to call these top companies and find out what they are
doing, so I can share that information with our other customers.I called
the dad and he told me their story. He said his daughter’s
business was doing so well that she could buy a new car every month if
she wanted to. I said “I hope your not letting her buy a new car every
month!” He said “No, the money is going into saving for college”. I
called him back a couple of years later to see how they were doing.
They were still on the top of my report. His daughter was now in
college. The dad had quit his job and was now managing their successful
business full time! They had several warehouses, quite a number of
employees and manufacturing overseas. They were doing very well. The Money Tree MentalityNow,
I don’t want you to get the wrong idea. Some people get what I call
“The money tree mentality”. They want to “Get rich quick!”. If there is
one thing I have learned, that is : Success takes hard work, knowledge
and lots of patients. Why Be Online?The Internet provides
a unique opportunity that has never been available to small and home
based businesses before! It’s huge and growing rapidly, giving you
access to customers all over the globe. Over a billion people use the
internet! It’s interesting to note that Internet users spend
twice as much time online as watching television! People spent over
$197 Billion dollars online in 2011 and rapid growth is expected through
2015. So, why is now a great time to start an online business? There are two quotes that I really like and believe are true. The first is that Problems create opportunities! The second quote is Every black cloud has a silver lining! We’ve
seen stocks fall and prices rise. We’ve seen layoffs and companies
fail. Looking down the road to the future can seem a little bleak. So,
where is the sliver lining in this economy? When this economic
crisis started, we noticed something strange. We host several thousand
websites for our customer and we noticed a huge increase in their
website traffic... and a huge increase in online orders. Over a 25
percent increase in just one year! We thought “is this happening just
to our customers”, or is this happening all over the Internet. We
searched the news and found story after story like this one. So, why are so many people buying online? There are many reasons. Here are a few: People
want to save money. So, what better place to shop around and compare
prices than on the Internet. Many stores have reduced their inventories
to compensate for lower sales. This generates fast cash for them, but
reduces selection for the customer, thus pushing them to the Internet
where the selection is really growing. And people really like to shop any time they want! Your online business can be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Several
years ago their was a huge blizzard in the east. Researchers noticed
that during the blizzard, Internet use and online shopping skyrocketed.
The more we stay home...the more we shop online. Higher fuel prices translate directly into online sales! I
believe that right now the Internet is providing a huge opportunity
for those who want to roll up their sleeves and go to work! So, how can
you take advantage of this opportunity? Launch2Success
