Coming up with a profitable site that will make money can be a bit of a challenge. If you get a little strange, you can make money hand over foot. Don’t laugh!

Strange Internet Businesses Make Money

Okay, let us be clear about one thing. We are not talking about porn sites or anything else of that nature. When we talk about strange Internet businesses, we are really talking about a very particular niche market.

A niche is simply a segment of a business area or subject that isn’t discussed much, but has a lot of consumer interest. The classic example of a niche market is Star Trek. The show has spawned a legion of fans. Those fans go to conventions, buy every kind of Star Trek product imaginable and generally are very loyal to the brand. Although some people consider Star Trek fans to be a bit weird, they are a representative market.

One approach to making money on the Internet is to focus on a very particular niche. Adult web sites are the biggest revenue producers on the web. Regardless of your view of those sites, they offer an important lesson. Every single adult site is a niche site. Revenue studies show the adult sites that are very niche defined absolutely rake in the cash. This is a lesson you should take to heart.

Focusing on a niche market has some serious advantages. The level of competition in the niche is almost always going to be lower than in a more general market. Since there are fewer competitors, you will be able to become a leading figure in the niche should you so desire. This leads to publicity and so on. This is good. Very good!

Going with a niche market is a great idea, but finding a strange niche is even better. Strange niches tend to have a smaller population of interested people [i.e. potential customers], but they are also ready to buy if you can provide them with something they have been looking for but can’t find. Just as important, they will come back to buy more and tell there friends. This is also very good.

A classic example of a strange Internet business is gourds. It took me some time to figure it out, but gourds are melon-like bulbs. Apparently, people like to dry them out and then paint on them. A lot of people like to do this - maybe 50,000 searches a month are undertaken for gourd keywords. A few years back, there was almost no competition for rankings. You can guess what happened. Gourd sites started popping up everywhere. I apologize for saying this if you are a gourd fan, but painting gourds is just strange. This makes it a perfect Internet business!

So, where do you find strange internet business ideas? You have to hunt. Ah, you knew it wouldn’t be that easy, eh? A good place to start looking is your own life. What odd little things do you like that you don’t tell anyone about. Do some keyword research to see if there are others out there sharing your quirk. If so, you have the perfect Internet business because you know something about it and have some passion for the quirk.

I’m off to paint a gourd.

When you designed your website, you probably dreamt about how wonderful it would be if one day a popular TV program featured it, and you would become famous overnight, and make lots of $$$.

Well, practice shows that your dream for your website to be featured on national TV can indeed come true, but NOT exactly in the way you imagined!

A couple of questions for you to answer:

• Can your website be used, without your permission, in a broadcast about scams?

• Can your personal photo, without you knowing about it, be displayed in a TV program about illegal activities?

If you think “No way!”, think again - it already happens!

(Real-life case study can be found at http://www.MediaDefamation.org)

And even more - it may turn out to be absolutely legal!!!

You wouldn’t think about it this way, would you? You probably think that if such a thing happens to you, you can sue the TV program and retire young and rich?

What a misconception!

Now, let me elaborate a little on the subject of defamation and defamation law, how it works offline and online.

The relationship between online and offline Media is very young, and therefore, unregulated. In fact, online publications are legally recognized as a public media on its own. This means, a publication of a defamatory statement on your website, forum or mailing list CAN be prosecuted in the same fashion as a publication in a newspaper.

But now, since Internet is considered a public media, any information that is published on your website may be also considered as being in a *public domain*, which means ANY information that is available online may be used by another media publication in their review of other publications. The use of this information will be legal.

What does it mean for YOU?

It means that a TV program or a newspaper can use a snapshot of your website in their publication or broadcast. They can use images of your website, and they are legally allowed to do it!

A TV program, for example, can show pages of your website when talking about the industry trends or to illustrate a topic of the broadcast.

Now, what if the program is about SCAMS in your industry?

For example, what if a TV program decided to highlight fraud in delivering merchandise or services purchased via Internet?

The TV broadcast could show your website in the beginning of the program, as one of many websites delivering this type of merchandise or services, and then go onto discussing fraud issues and interviews with victims of online scams.

It is apparent that displaying the pages of your website in such a context could hurt your reputation, even if the program did not name your website and only used its web pages as background images.

Legally, a TV program is allowed to use the pages of your website in a broadcast. Are they allowed to use the pages of your website in the context of illegal activities?

This is an uncertain issue.

As we already said, the relationship between online and offline media don’t have specific regulations.

Normally, a media publication is allowed to use any factual content related to a matter of public interest.

Since most illegal activities and their prevention ARE a matter of public interest, the media publication has the privileged defence of *public interest matter*, should you voice your disagreement with the use of your website and decide to sue the program for defamation.

Proving in court that the TV program was defamatory for you will not be easy. You will have to present hard evidence that such a publication could hurt your reputation as the owner of that business, and that there were people who identified you as the owner of the business shown in the program and that the program indeed portrayed you in the way that some people would *shun, avoid or ridicule* you because of the way your business was portrayed. You must also prove that such use of your website was unfair and did not fall under the privilege of *fair comment*, available to Media. You also may be required, depending on the defamation laws in your country or state, to present the evidences of monetary loss due to the broadcast of the alleged defamation.

Defamation cases against large media corporations can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, because of the tactics that those media corporations use to prevent the plaintiff (the person who believes he was defamed) from getting his case to the stage of court hearing. The plaintiff has to spend a fortune on lawyers (you do not want a low cost lawyer defending your defamation case against a large, experienced in legal battles media corporation), before the case is ready to proceed to the court and all requests of the defendant are satisfied. Then another fortune is to be spent on court hearings, which may also be sabotaged - of course, in legally permitted ways.

Even then, the outcome of your defamation case is unpredictable. It will, firstly, depend on your lawyers. Secondly, it will depend on your witnesses, who, by the time your case goes to the court, which can be a few years down the line, can forget most things related to the defamation issue, and therefore appear unreliable. And then the large media corporation still has the privilege of *fair comment* and *public interest matter*.

At the end of the day, if your defamation case is unsuccessful, you will be required to pay the legal fees of the defendant, which will double your legal bill, and can easily reach payments of $200,000-300,000.

Now, you can see that dealing with a large media corporation in a legal way can be suicidal for a small online business.

So, what can you do to prevent using the contents of your website in a way you disapprove?

A mere copyright notice is not enough in this case.

You need to employ your imagination and make sure you spell in an unambiguous way that any use of your website content can be contemplated only with your explicit written permission. Add this statement to your Terms Of Use Agreement (if you do not have one, write it NOW!). Make sure there is a link to this Agreement on every page of your website.

For example:

* Your use of www.xyz.com website specifies that you agree to comply with this Terms Of Use Agreement. Every time you use www.xyz.com website you void to confirm your agreement with this Terms Of Use Agreement. The content available through www.xyz.com website is the sole property of XYZ, Ltd, and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. Except as otherwise explicitly agreed in writing, XYZ -owned content received through the XYZ website may be downloaded, displayed, reformatted and printed for your personal, non-commercial use only, through the means of your home computer. You agree not to reproduce, retransmit, distribute, sell, publish, broadcast or circulate, or in any way disclose the information received through the XYZ website to anyone, without XYZ ’s prior written consent. All information published on XYZ website should be treated as private and confidential and the publication of such information on XYZ website does not specify that this information is in the public domain. Any reproduction, retransmission, distribution, selling, publishing, broadcasting or circulating of the information received through XYZ website, without explicit written permission of XYZ, will be illegal and prosecuted as such. *

If desired, a note that the information on the site should NOT be considered as being in *public domain* can be added to your Privacy Policy.

It may also help to create a special page named “press” and place there your press release, which you would like Media to use if they want to make a reference to your website. Place the link “Press” on your home page where it cannot be missed. Request them to contact you prior to any use of your website in their publications. Put there all your contact details including phone and fax and the name of the person responsible for press enquires. Include on this page the information that you disapprove using your website contents and images, unless you gave your explicit permission in writing, and that the information on your website is NOT in the public domain.

This of course may not help against unscrupulous reporters, if they REALLY want to use YOUR SITE in a negative context; but in case if the reporters just browsing the Internet for a picture to use, they will rather select a site that does not have this warning.

Even if they use your site despite the warning, you will have a much better case and can complain to a broadcasting authority that the program breached privacy or other regulations specified in the rules for a broadcast in your country.

Media has multiple privileges in defamation cases, and this you cannot change. But as website owners we have our own privileges, too!

We have the privilege of writing our own Terms Of Use. Internet is a much less regulated field than any offline business, where you seldom have a way to make every customer sign your disclaimer and terms of use prior to using your service. On the Internet, by the mere use of your website, visitors may be bound by your Terms Of Use Agreement.

Don’t miss out on writing YOUR own rules of the game!

Now and again I’ll get into a conversation about ‘educating the client’, especially when a contractor talks about losing jobs to competition that’s ‘undercutting’ them. One such conversation happened last week when a builder mentioned constantly losing jobs to, shall we say, less than reputable competition.

Typically in this situation I’ll talk about educating the prospect, to which the response is usually, “I don’t have time to teach the prospect everything I know.” (This is usually closely followed by, “Plus, I already educate my prospects.”)

First, I agree. Second, you don’t have to. Third, you can’t afford not to.

Educating Your Prospects

When I discuss educating prospects, I’m not suggesting you have to provide years of knowledge, personal experience, and recent modern changes in the home building industry. First, you don’t have that kind of time. Second, chances are the average home owner just doesn’t care.

What I do mean is to educate the prospect so:

a) they understand what your price represents; and

b) they know what to look for, and look out for, so they can properly compare your quality of work to others.

A Recent Example

A friend recently bought a house and, as par for the course, was contacted by a handful of companies
promising to deliver natural gas at lower, locked-in rates.

Now, I can’t claim to verify the following information, it’s just what he received when he asked his group of friends for advice. And it does illustrate the point.

According to one response, the rate quoted by some of these companies is lower because it doesn’t include all the costs associated with delivering natural gas to his house.

That is, the rate they were quoting was the ’supply’ charge. They would then compared this rate to their competition’s rate, even though the rate they compared it to combined three different charges and, therefore, was always going to be more then theirs.

This would be like selling you a computer, and saying mine was $750 while comparing it against a competitor’s $950 model — but failing to mention the competitor’s included a monitor and the other didn’t. Not fair, right?

So, How Do You Use This Information to Stop Fighting on Price?

This is what I mean by ‘educating the client’. Let them know what they’re getting with your price vs. a potential competitors and help ensure they can, and are, comparing apples to apples.

Do you have to list all 1,001 differences that go into building or renovating a home? Of course
not…in fact, if you capture the 10 - 15 biggies (and, sometimes, even less than that), most clients will assume the rest is taken care of (and it usually is).

And This is Where Selling on Features vs. Selling on Benefits Comes In…

Features vs. Benefits is one of the easiest ways to separate you from your competition and stop
fighting on price. Unfortunately, most builders and renovators sell on features and, therefore, end up in ‘price comparison hell.’ Selling on benefits quickly eliminates competition from consideration, especially ‘unprofessionals’ (since they make it so easy for us to eliminate them, if everything is positioned properly).

Remember above, when I said chances are home owners don’t care? What they (and 99% of all
humans purchasing something) don’t care about is the process. What they do care about is the results.

Do you care how a phone works…or do you care if your business phone went dead for even one hour? Do you care how HTTP Internet protocol works…or do you care if your website went down for even one day?

See…it’s not the process most people care about (although some may be curious about it after the fact) — it’s the result!

So, don’t tell your prospects you use “the finest quality building materials” (and who isn’t going to say that to get the business) or “the best workers” (and, again, who doesn’t say that) — tell them what matters…the results. For example:

. we build our rooms perfectly square (feature) so your furniture doesn’t look wonky, or your built-in pieces will actually fit properly without additional, and expensive, work (benefit)

. we prime both sides of natural siding (feature) so it lasts longer (benefit) than builders that don’t (extra points: mention how much longer)

. we allow wood flooring to acclimatize before installation (feature), to eliminate gaps, splitting and checking (benefit)…other builders / renovators that don’t do this risk your floor being unsightly and uneven withing 6 to 12 months!

Your Advantage? Effectively Eliminate a Large Portion of Your Competition!

As mentioned above…if you list a number of areas where you add quality and value to your prospects, and you do it by focusing on the end-result — the benefits, not the features, you’ll rocket above your competition in two ways:

1) the lower-quality, ‘price-fighting’ competition can’t fight you on price now, since you’ve exposed what the client will miss if they go for the cheaper price; and

2) if your other competition isn’t doing this, guess who comes out on top? Even among other professional builders / renovators, if they’re selling on features and you’re selling on benefits, you’ll close the lion’s share of the work!

Will people still go for the lower-priced builder? Yes. There will always be someone who’d rather get it cheap rather than get it good. But…if you effectively educate your client — show them the benefits of your extra quality, extra value and (yes) extra price, you’ll be happy to let the price-shoppers go (and the headaches that usually come with them), and keep the quality-buyers.

You may have heard the buzz terms, ‘affiliate programs’ or ‘associate programs’. Chances are your think of them in one of two ways, either - it’s got to be another one of those Internet ‘work at home’ scams. Or, “That’s just out of my league.”

Promoting affiliate programs is in fact an attractive and viable way to initiate multiple residual income streams. It’s not a get rich quick scheme. In fact, to be successful it takes a great deal of work and persistence. It also requires flexibility and an inquisitive nature that embraces trying new ways of marketing until you find something that works for your target audience.

What is an affiliate program? Thousands of established businesses set up affiliate programs in order to have people like you promote their products or services. When you sign up for an affiliate program you are given a link with your own unique id embedded into it.

With your own unique link it then becomes your job to promote the affiliate program and drive traffic to the businesses website. You never handle sales or products, but each time an interested prospect visits the website through your link and actually purchases something you earn a commission.

One of the most effective ways to promote affiliate programs is to find a subject that you are passionate about. Something that (humility aside), you may even consider yourself an expert of. Take that subject and develop a website that is devoted to it.

Building a website does not have to be intimidating. There are a tremendous amount of resources available to you to help you build one. You could also have the template of a website designed for you, or you could purchase a website at a price that may surprise you.

Once you have your website built, you will submit it to the major search engines and every day set some time aside to promote your website. At the same time, find affiliate programs that complement your content and ad their banner ads or text links to your website.

Working with a subject you love insures that you won’t become bored with the website. The more content that you add to your site and the more you promote it, the more traffic you will get. It could take a good year to get the site to the point where you are actually surprised at how well it is doing. At that point, it seems to almost effortlessly improve itself.

The key is to draw your visitors to the website because you have terrific content. It is even more effective to offer a newsletter that your visitors can opt-in to. This way you can send them monthly newsletters with articles that will interest them, convincing them to frequent your site over and over again. You can also include the affiliate program links in your newsletters as well.

In the end, you have indulged in promoting a topic that you are knowledgeable and passionate about; while at the same time have initiated a residual income from.

Now you will have even more expertise and confidence, and the next site will be a piece of cake!

“Nature’s prescription for optimal health and longevity”

UNION, NEW JERSEY - August 27, 2001 - One of the most important
discoveries in biochemistry regarding how the body maintains
health at the cellular level may have been made by a Research
and Development Company, who, in 1996 introduced their unique
products and subsequently filed for patents.

Glycoscience, the research about glyconutrients, - foods
containing specific sugars that heal - goes back a number of
years. The technology is so significant that it is vital for
everyone to learn about it simply because it changes lives.
These glyconutrients supply THE essential sugars
(monosaccharides) that scientists have identified as an absolute
requirement for proper cell structure and optimal functioning.
Without these nutrients, the body simply cannot function at its
best. The skyrocketing numbers of people suffering or dying from
autoimmune diseases, diabetes, heart disease and cancer is so
alarming that change in our traditional healthcare system is
inevitable.

I was first introduced to this technology in 1999, at a time
when my body still had not entirely “recovered” from an accident
that occurred to me 10 years earlier. I got hit by a car, which
resulted in injuries to the spine, head, and internal organs.
Having always been healthy up until the time of the accident, I
was shocked that I was now prone to colds, infection,
gastro-intestinal problems, migraine headaches and chronic
backpain, often so severe that I felt as if I was on automatic
pilot, barely getting through daily life at home, let alone my
work. Constantly living in pain and taking prescription
medications that seemed to “suppress” my symptoms rather than
resolving them made me feel depressed and disillusioned. I no
longer enjoyed my life and felt, instead, that life was just
passing me by.

All that changed one day when I received a very informative
email about something called glyconutrients. It talked about
cell to cell communication, building and strengthening the
immune system and how these nutrients could contribute to
achieving and maintaining better health. At the time, I could
not see the relevance for my case, especially since none of the
doctors I consulted had ever mentioned this incredible
breakthrough in nutraceutical science to me before. However, I
was intrigued by the concept of supplying the body with these
essential nutrients that we no longer receive from our food
sources. When the cells get what they need to “perform their
duty” in harmony with the rest of the body, the body functions
optimally, as it was designed to. The body has what it needs to
nourish, heal and repair itself. Whether someone is dealing with
allergies, arthritis, chronic fatigue, diabetes, heart disease
or even cancer, a small amount of these sugars taken daily - or
a deficiency thereof - can have astonishing effects. I came to
learn this, when I started to use them in October of 1999. After
just one week of being on the products, I felt an enormous
difference in my energy level; my sleep and appetite improved
and, most importantly, the pain in my back began to disappear.
It wasn’t long afterwards that I realized that every chronic
condition I had been dealing with for over 10 years had reversed
itself. I had my life back!

I am so excited with the results of these glyconutrients that I
would like to share this with everyone. Whether you are
chronically ill and traditional medicine has not provided you
with the answers you are looking for, or you simply want to take
advantage of having the best available tools to prevent or
reverse disease, decrease body fat, strengthen the immune
system, have a better quality in your health and live longer,
consider making glyconutrients a part of your daily diet. I
would be happy to show you how. Call me at 908-354-7901.

wrong and learn from your error. You are the only one now
responsible for your self.

Treat your business as a serious, full-time business, and it
will become one.

IN CONCLUSION…

Think of your first six months primarily as a training period.
Don’t expect large earnings until after you’ve educated
yourself.

Even the most dynamic, highest-earning entrepreneurs in the
industry took MONTHS to begin seeing an income of any real
significance.

Don’t be a negative thinker and don’t let the negative attitudes
of others (even if they’re family members, friends, or peers)
influence you.

All the great men and women in history had to overcome the
naysayers who said it couldn’t be doneand then went out and did
it. Think for yourself!

As long as you think positive and focused on your business
target you’re on the right way to a rich life, which is directed
by you and it will lead you to tremendous success.

This is a unique product that most likely would be utilised by virtually everyone and has the ability to put your advertisement message right below the customer’s nose. We actually mean under your new client’s nose. How about fifteen inches away with a brilliant hi-definition imprint that your new client will be starring at eigh to ten hrs a day. What more effective way to state you advertizing content that is on an item on his desk that not only has your commercial enterprise name, company phone number, and catchword but also functions as a practical instrument. Promotional mousepads can be exactly the product that can fulfil this goal. We have mouse pads using lifelike 4 colour process print different from any other business concern. Our color is a continuous tone color image where as everybody else utilises a dot pattern. The divergence is much the same as comparing a newsprint photo to a magazine photo. Then if you desire state of the art color promotional mouse pads call us. Sixty three sq in* of billboard advertizement space may be placed right under the new client’s nose. Merely think how decent it would be to have the company name and the wareses as well as your contact number 15 inches from your client 8 hrs a day. We can help make this happen using our hi-tek custom mouse pads.
