It begins with understanding the fundamental REALITY of the web. And then following a PROCESS that aligns with this REALITY
Building Traffic The Right WayWhen I first started out building my online wellness business, I didn’t realise I was merely building a website. First I was mastering technology – html, ftp, cgi, java script. graphic designing. Struggling with those, I gave up and paid a webmaster to build my site. Then I started displaying my stuff to sell. I thought I had built a WEB BUSINESS. I didn't realise I was merely building a digital cobweb hibernating in cyberspace. The lifeblood of any business is TRAFFIC. In the offline world, it’s location, location, location. In the online world, it’s information, information, information. There are a staggering 600 million web sites with over a trillion pages on the internet. That's 433 333 times more web pages than there are products in a typical supermarket. Of these, 92% of web sites die a slow death. They look beautifully sophisticated with bells and whistles that technology offers. But they exist as websites with little traffic. On the other hand, the other 8% that thrive follow a PROCESS THAT NEVER FAILS. They start at where users of the internet are looking for - INFORMATION. These are the ones who have mastered the secret to building a profitable WEB BUSINESS. They began a PROCESS that led to thousands and thousands of traffic. And they learned a PROCESS to covert this traffic into open-to-buy customers. The same PROCESS applies when you turn your passion into profits online.
Turn Your Passion Into Profits Through Multiple Channels Of Income
To give you an insight into the PROCESS, I want to share with you an example of how someone turned her passion into profit by just being an infopreneur. An infopreneur is just one of many models of a web business that makes money from just writing about one’s passion in a niche theme. Click passion-centred business to get an overview of this travel site. Then return here. This site shares about a family’s annual vacation in a remote Caribbean island - Anguilla beach. Nori, that's her name, an undergraduate, makes between US$3000 - US$4000 average a month. More than enough to pay her university degree! Enough to tour the world before she decides to work, that is, if she really wants to work for some company. Her income from her site will continue to rise and sustain her for a lifetime! It will become a huge nest egg for her retirement income 40 years from now! And if like most young mothers who would like to spend more time with their kids, Nori could easily have this option when she becomes a mum someday! Where does her revenue come from? Google ads - every click earns her money. Referrer leads - direct referrer to a trusted real estate agent or financial services agent. Anguilla DVD - she recently created one! Amazing isn’t it? US$4000 monthly from turning her passion of Anguilla Vacation into her BRAND of ONE online. How long did she take to write her content on Anguilla? One page a week! She was schooling then. School work took precedence. Over two years, and now her site has become a mature site that gets unbelievably huge number of visitors. TRAFFIC means MONEY. Type “Anguilla Beaches ” or “Anguilla vacation” on Google Search. See where her site “anguilla-beaches.com ranks out of twenty thousand competing web pages that publish on the same keyword. Now, type “living healthfully” on Google Search. See where earthzense.com (that’s my site) ranks out of 1,720,000 competing web pages! Try “original meditation”. See where earthzense.com ranks out of 10,800,000 competing web pages! If you aren’t in the top 10-20 ranking in the search engines, especially Google, you will get no TRAFFIC. It’s all in the PROCESS. I followed a time-tested, TRAFFIC guaranteed PROCESS to turn my passion into profits online.

'Socialize It! is another tool I use to leverage on the popularity of social networking sites. With 'Web 2.0 , I can invite visitors to contribute their knowledge and experience on my site.
