| Thousands Enter Internet Wilderness Daily
Ever wondered what it feels like to walk alone through the
African bush in the midday sun? If you remember the first time
you surfed the Internet, you will have a good idea.
Not long after you begin you are totally disoriented, take the
wrong turns and are not sure where to go, or how to get back.
The oppressive heat drenches your body with sweat and, attracted
by the moisture, flies buzz around your head driving you nuts as
do the pop-ups that fly up your screen.
A rustle in the undergrowth accentuates your awareness of a
lurking danger, not unlike the fear of being ripped off by some
shady character hiding in the anonymity of the Internet.
The eternal fear of the unknown blurs your sanity, impairing
your decision-making ability. Uncertain whether your next step
should be forward or back you suddenly realize that you
desperately need guidance. You look up and pray for direction,
hoping that the line to the Man upstairs is still open, despite
your irregular communication.
The tens of thousands of people joining the Internet every day,
and millions that are already there, experience the same sense
of helplessness and desperation. Many of them are aware of, or
have been stung by, one of the numerous Internet scams. Most
have been disillusioned by hyped money-making schemes.
A profound sense of cynicism concerning Internet business
becomes evident as one reads newsletters and community boards.
The only way to overcome this obstacle is to build credibility.
This takes time and effort, but it is the key to long-term
success in Internet business.
How can you achieve this?
ˇEliminate hype. It has become counterproductive. This decision
is contrary to the present practice, but if you want to succeed
it is a decision you have to make. Persevere and the chaff will
be separated from the wheat.
ˇProvide substance. You have to be convinced that the product
you are selling is of value? If not, sell something else.
ˇSupply outstanding service at a fair price. Dont work for
nothing. Thousands of websites have closed down because they
made this mistake. If you are giving away freebies make sure
they are useful and practical.
ˇOffer visitors a viable and affordable product or business
model that they can operate with ease. Automate everything that
you can and provide tested and proven resources that work.
The numbers of newcomers are impressive. It is conceivable that
the number of people that join the Internet in the next few
years will outnumber the people presently on the net.
If you build your credibility by providing them with the
products that will enhance their success, your story will be
told around flickering computer screens. Just like the great
legends told around fires in the African bush.
