If You Want Something Enough You Can Find a Way
By Anne O'Dwyer
Wendy and Susan sat talking over mugs of steaming coffee. They were having their usual conversation about lack of funds and how much everything cost. But today they had another topic one of their friends had married an Australian and moved to Australia. That was 3 years ago but now they had a baby daughter. If only they could afford to visit. How could they find their fares? "What business can we set up at home, that's our only hope" said Susan. With that thought she opened her laptop searching for ideas.
They both spent all their spare-time for the next few weeks reading advertisements, visiting the library, and searching the internet for business ideas. Googling search terms, visiting forums, and reading articles, there was so much information but nothing seemed quite right.
They were drawn by affiliate marketing, maybe it was the answer it did offer promising features:-
They wouldn't need their own products, just a chosen niche they were passionate about.
They would need a website, but there were free websites like Weebly.com, where you could convert it to a.com website later. Weebly.com sounded like a good idea as it was simple to use and offered tutorials, Wendy had made a travel blog last year. They could also use WordPress a popular platform.
The sales letter would be professionally written by the company supplying the product and the delivery would also be taken care of. It did seem quite interesting but what they wanted was a step by step guide, a plan that took you by the hand.
When 'Eureka'! Susan found a website offering just that, a website offering a course on setting up an affiliate marketing business. It came in weekly parts and promised virtually anyone could do it. It didn't say how fast it would be until the money flowed, but it did say it offered complete instructions and a 60 day guarantee.
That was it they would both start their own hobby business and share the course. It wasn't too expensive and you paid for it monthly. If they both worked together they could share ideas and help each other. So with that decision the course was ordered and their goal for visiting Australia in the not to distant future was set. What had they to lose? It seemed like the only way. It would be fun to have a new hobby anyway and the burning desire to see their friend would keep them on track.
First they had to choose what niche they were passionate about to base their business on. They looked at Amazon for ideas, if there were books on the topic there was a possible market of "hungry people" wanting to buy their products, also magazine racks and ClickBank.com an online bookstore. They would then be ready to follow the course.
Wendy was interested in fitness, weight loss, healthy eating etc, so somewhere within that area she would make a business. Susan was interested in living in Spain in the future maybe that would pay the bills when she retired. It would certainly be an interesting topic to research. What a brilliant idea they set to work to make their new plans work, and the trip to Australia was their goal.
They knew they would need visitors to their website, so started looking on the internet for some advice and found some helpful looking books on Amazon:
"99 Ways to Flood Your website with traffic" by Mick Monro which contained pages and pages of great ideas, they could use a proportion straight away and others later when they were a bit more experienced, Also because they had heard creating a business page on Facebook was import for getting their business known, they also ordered "Sam's Teach Yourself Facebook" by Sherry Kinkolf. There were loads of other books they liked the look of but that would be a good starting point.
Wendy also looked on Wikipedia and found information on Perry Marshall an American marketing expert, but that was enough for now or they would be struggling with information overload. They also had all the information in the course, there were only 24 hours in a day. They had lives to lead, it was a hobby after all, but it was good to know how much information there was on the internet.
