Keep An Eye On The Big Guys...
If there's something you've got to keep
an eye on on the internet, it's the big guys. Their
movements have ripples that reach to every corner. When
Amazon thought of the idea of having other sites reselling
their products, they changed internet direct marketing
forever. Some caught the wave and surfed to the top,
others are still wondering what went wrong.
There are some ripples being made as
we speak. eBay in planning to gobble up Shopping.com
with classifieds becoming a strong point in the eBay
strategy. And with this new acquisition, millions of
customers will certainly buy or sell through eBay. If
you buy or sell on the internet, you have to watch eBay...
great for price reference; many websites owe their entire
income to eBay. If you're not one of them, you should
give this some consideration. It seems the "eBay
way" is here to stay with their endless online
promotion. Many people don't even own a website and
thanks to this way of selling, they are making pretty
good money from their homes.
Have you been tweaking and putting more
and more gizmos onto your site? Well, sometimes you'll
have a better response if you do exactly the opposite.
Any marketing expert will tell you that your site must
look professional but plain -- and this is what European
mobile phone companies are doing and making big profits
in the process! What's chic now is low-tech cellphones
targeted for people who want to use their phones to...
yes, you guessed it -- talk! That's right -- there are
a lot of people who don't care about all the new features
the new cellphones have and they're trading in their
hi-tech toys for simple-to-use devices. This "just
in" from Current Analysis Inc. And this is great
news because I have a whole drawer filled with old brick
cellphones... finally my ecological conscience will
pay off -- maybe an auction on eBay... :)
Skype is also making quite a big of
a hype, becoming the popular choice of millions. VoIP
(Voice over Internet Protocol) is sure to be involved
in a lot of online businesses. The visitors will now
not only type questions, they will ask them verbally
and listen to a human respond to their questions --
making the internet much warmer.
PayPal has reduced the the payment regulations;
this will be big for all those web businesses that see
the large opportunity of allowing visitors small payments.
Ringtones, music downloads, articles with valuable content,
greeting cards, pictures, donations, etc. You name it,
it can now be sold. And who could refuse to give just
some measly pennies? Micropayments can become a big
source of income, especially if your website receives
a lot of visitors that you have not figured out how
to turn into buyers. If you think this is a good idea
you can profit from, then why don't you chip in a couple
of dollars after reading this article? ;)
