Diversify Or Die...
Business has been a little slow on the internet lately as you
may have noticed, sales have dropped and people are shopping
around more and buying less. I have a web hosting company which
until recently was steadily ticking over a regular weekly income
which allowed me to work at home and not have to kowtow to some
dictatorial boss.
I realize now that I was resting on my laurels, the internet is
like any other business arena, you can't afford to become
complacent and when times are tough you need to diversify or
die. I chose to diversify, I would find another income stream to
compliment my hosting business. Before wading into the often
treacherous ocean of the internet I set myself some guidelines
that must be strictly adhered to in order to make this succeed.
1/ I would spend no more than $100.00 to set the business up. 2/
I must be able to earn from it almost immediately. 3/ It must
have a proven track record of success. 4/ The time spent on it
must have minimum impact on my already busy schedule. A tall
order many of you might say, it was but I found it eventually
and it pays a tidy sum weekly for the small amount of time and
money invested.
After sifting through the endless GET RICH QUICK scams and
coming up empty handed, a fellow webmaster pal suggested I go to
Ebay and check out the "Businesses For Sale- Websites" section.
He told me he had purchased an affiliate travel website several
months before for $180.00 and was now earning several hundred a
week from commissions.
Although out of my price range, I was intrigued, what I
discovered amazed me. Hundreds of affiliate websites were for
sale but only a select few were being heavily bid on.
After some research I noticed some sellers were auctioning half
a dozen different turnkey sites at a time and realizing sales of
at least $150 each, I quickly realized the money was in selling
affiliate websites not buying them.
Further detective work lead me to thier little pot of gold.
Smallofficecenter.com a unique and very lucrative turnkey
business concept that I am sure is going to grow very large on
the net.
I took the tour and signed up later that day, the best $99.00 I
have ever invested, I made my investment back with $110.00
profit on my first auction.
On average I have five turnkey websites up for auction any given
week, I spend a day setting them all up and make at least
$500.00 profit. Not bad for a days work and anybody can do it.
I had met and surpassed all of my guidelines and as I host them
on my own servers from my own hosting company they each earn me
a little more revenue each month.
Will Knauer, the Founder and CEO of smallofficecenter.com agreed
to shed some light on the success of the company. Coming from a
web design background his company had designed and sold hundreds
of unique websites to internet entrepreneurs.
Through this business he discovered a niche market wide open for
development, professionally designed instant turnkey websites,
the demand was there but nobody was meeting it.
Small Office Center was born. Will began with richly designed
Casinos, Malls and Domain Name Registration websites. Sales on
Ebay, Yahoo and other auction sites were incredible and beyond
expectation.
His company quickly branched out into Pay Per Click Search
Engines, Auction Sites and eight other designs quickly followed
based on demand from clients.
Will noticed two patterns emerge from the auctions, he recieved
constant emails from the losing bidders wanting a custom made
website similar to the one they had failed to win and he also
recieved many emails from internet entrepreneurs wanting to sell
his designs as affiliates or at a wholesale price.
I have found that one auction will often lead to 3 or more
custom orders from business hungry clients, many of his
entrepreneurs are making a lucrative full time living from thier
initial $99.00 dollar investment.
Small office center now caters mainly to webmaster entrepreneurs
who resell the designs for high profits, some Pay Per Click
Search Engines sell for $1000.00 or more at Ebay and other
auction sites with an average set up cost of $15.00 and one
hours work.
I not only sell them and host them but I actually own four
myself which generate monthly income automatically and without
demanding much of my time. I match them up with highly relavant
searchphrase domain names and the search engine traffic results
in good sales.
How do I do this? Well that is material for another article.
Small Office Center is expanding all the time, they add several
new turnkey websites each month to the 200 plus designs already
available.
Take the tour of www.smallofficecenter.com and see for yourself,
there are many extra bonuses to be found that I have not
included here, then if you are still not convinced go to
www.ebay.com and see his designs up for auction under
"Businesses For Sale-Websites".
I highly recommend smallofficecenter.com as an added business
enterprise to compliment your internet presence.
