Photographing Products

You don't have to be a professional photographer to create high quality photos for your items on the internet; it would help but is not necessary. All joking aside, this is not as hard as it seems and does not require any overly expensive tools to do properly.

You will obviously need a digital camera. Theoretically you could take film photos and scan them but that is a silly concept considering digital cameras are significantly cheaper than they used to be. The higher quality digital camera you get the better the photos will be. We would suggest a camera with at least a 3 mega pixel resolution. Anything over 6 mega pixels will be overkill for what you are trying to achieve, so unless you are purchasing this camera for personal use as well, it is not necessary to go above that level.

You will also need a staging area. Do not use a multi colored or pattern in the backdrop or on the surface you are placing the object. A single, solid color is a must. Black or white are common but you can use other colors if you would like. Muted colors will help the product stand out more so than an overly vibrant color. With this in mind you may want to avoid neon or bright colors.

The staging area will need to have a base for the products to sit on and a background behind it. It is not necessary to have sides to the staging area. Some people prefer it but this is not a requirement. You will want to build a frame or skeleton out of a sturdy material but keep it light enough to move if needed. If you can minimize the transition between the base and the backdrop, this can be achieved by using a single sheet of plastic, paper, fabric or any other material to make both. You just affix the material in the backdrop location and allow it to naturally curve and flow over the base of the staging area. Avoid wrinkles at all costs. The photo will look better if you cannot easily decipher the difference between the backdrop and the base.

Lighting is always a necessity when it comes to photography. In fact it is the primary component of photography. You can have a $5,000.00 Canon Digital Camera but still get horrible pictures based on poor lighting. Your odds are better but the need for good lighting is an absolute requirement. You may have noticed that at professional studios there are all sorts of lighting gadgets. Umbrellas, diffusers, reflection panels, tents, they have just about everything. I have found that the best personal use lighting gadget can consist of a few good quality lamps and some diffusers (homemade diffusers are really quite simple to make). The idea behind t a diffuser is to distribute the light evenly and to avoid any direct reflections or shadows. They are very helpful if you want high quality product photos.

To build a diffuser panel it's as simple as stretching a thin, white, translucent material over a frame. Speaker grill cloth material is great for this however it is difficult to find in white. Standard low weight cotton is great for this. The frame work should be light weight for ease of use but strong enough to have the material stretched over it. 1" x 2" planks of pine work well for this and they are dirt cheap at your local Home Depot. Assemble these planks into a frame roughly 24" square or a bit larger and stretch the white material over it. You can affix the material using epoxy resin or staples. If you use staples it's a good idea to place a small strip of thicker material in between the staples and the white material. This helps to avoid tearing. The material should be taught similar to a drum but not quite as tight. You need one diffuser panel for

each lamp you plan on using. You should be able to find the clamp on style lamp at the same Home Depot you bought the wood. I have included a photo of the style I find works the best as well as the suggested light bulb style. DO NOT use a halogen lamp as they go too hot and you will have a serious fire hazard when you place the diffuser in front of it. I strongly suggest you use the clamp on style lamps with the new compact fluorescent light bulbs (see below). These bulbs still get hot and great care should be taken when dealing with lights, heat and electricity for that matter; however these have a lower risk of starting the diffuser on fire.
 

The placement of the lamps may vary depending on the product. Some people like to place a diffuser right on top of the photo booth and suspend a lamp directly above it to get some overhead lighting and then a lamp on either side of the camera pointing toward the product you are photographing. This is a very basic setup and has proven itself over and over again, but keeps in mind that even the best lighting setups need to be adjusted to improve the lighting for each particular subject.

Now you just need to set up your camera. A tripod is ideal however some cameras do not have the ability to be mounted to a tripod so in this case you need to find a way to steady the camera. The ways to do this vary as much as there are different cameras on the market so it is impossible to outline a "one size fits all" procedure to doing this. You will have to be creative in solving this problem if it arises. The goal here is to mount or place the camera so it is ideally directed at the product (elevation, angle, and so on) as well as steady. You can of course skip this step and just hold the camera yourself. This is not as hard as you might think and many people use this as the only way they handle the camera. It is all dependent on your personal preference.

Photographing products may take some trial and error but it is definitely one of the most important steps you take in the listing process. The photograph is usually the first thing that registers in the buyers mind when scanning the listing.

The best way to automate the processing and shipping of your orders, especially phone orders, is to choose a fulfillment house

 Banner Marketing

A banner is simply a graphic that businesses use to advertise their web sites, basically like a billboard. It puts your advertising directly in front of your target market. When surfers see your banner ad, they consider visiting a site they might not have otherwise looked at.

It encourages people to action by "clicking here" to be taken directly to your website. A really good banner has certain criteria that are important to remember.

• Clearly define your purpose. - Decide what action you want people to take. Are you just wanting to increase exposure? Directly increase sales? Just click on your banner? Sign up for a free newsletter?

• Focus on a benefit. - Write your ad with your target customer in mind. Keep you message brief. Use keywords. Build excitement, make them curious, but don't tell them you're about to sell them your product.

When they click, and go to your web site, you explain you're drawing for free coffee for a year, and to enter, they give you their name, address and email address. Now you have their email address and can begin to develop a relationship

• Call to action. - Always tell people to "click here" or "go"-it's a call for

action. Many people don't know that just clicking on a banner is a link,
you have to tell them to click.

• Vibrant colors draw a better response than drab ones. - Don't overdo it.
• Use mock "windows control" buttons like menus and click-boxes. - Most

people are familiar with these so it subtly calls them to action.

• Use images that alter when you move your mouse pointer over it.

Animation like this allows people to interact with it. Your ultimate goal is to get people to click through your banner, not play games.

• Make your banner fast loading. - Size isn't everything, but it must be eye­

catching. (GIFWizard reduces by up to 9o% without sacrificing quality)

• Automated or not? - Automated banners have a large advantage over

static banners because they catch peoples attention with movement.
But they tend to be much larger and can take longer to load; and too
much animation is distracting

• Include an alternative text tag. - This way, people who have their graphics

turned off when surfing will still see your slogan and your link. If you
don't, they will see nothing.

• Your banner should be at the top of a page. - It will get a much,

much better response than at the bottom. It's the first thing visitors
see. They usually look at the top to see how to navigate a site. If
you can't get your advertising banner at the top of a page, advertise
elsewhere.- Test and track your results. - Design several and test
them to see which ones bring in the most traffic. If you don't
make money with them, redesign them, or negotiate a better

price for the ad space. Maybe you need to rewrite your sales copy to convince visitors to become customers. Your slogan may need to be better. By testing, you will know what works and what doesn't.

HIRING A PROFESSIONAL

Most banners are designed by graphic artists and not internet marketers. Many people have become immune to graphics and don't even look at them. Banners that appear as part of a web site with radio buttons, check boxes, hyperlinks and drop down menus are much more effective. Look at for examples.

COSTS OF BANNER ADVERTISING

With Pay-Per Impression Banners, you pay to have your banner displayed, not for click-through's or customers. Some sites will have your banner on each page, and you then have to pay for each one. The visitor sees it several times, but still isn't a customer, and you've had to pay for it all of those times. You're not guaranteed any results.

Make sure you are paying for your ad to be displayed one time to one visitor. Locate sites that directly relate to yours. You can find ad space that reaches your target market. You may never have to pay the published rates. Call the web site owner directly and negotiate.

With Pay-Per-Visitor Banners, you pay for visitors who click through your banner. This is performance-based advertising, so it may be more expensive. If you are paying per visitor, then the sites with your banners have to continue displaying it no matter how poor the dick-through rate is. The HTML code on their web site allows the banner broker to put whatever banner they want on their web site-the owner has not control over it. This is a major advantage.

You want your banner as targeted and precise as possible to ensure that you only attract targeted potential customers with interest in your products. You want qualified people clicking through, so that you maximize your ad dollars. You are paying for "visitors" not "impressions" so the broker may have to post your banner a few thousand times more in order to get your 1000 visitors.

 

Banner Brokers have contracts with thousands of web sites all over the Net for banner advertising space. Pay-Per-Click Banners are similar to pay-per-visrtor, but the web sites that display your banner get to choose which companies' banners they want. If yours doesn't pull high click-through's they may remove it.

HOW TO FIND ADVERTISING SPACE

Your target markets will give you the best response. Manually surf the Web or use software like LinkPartner Pro to locate sites and record it all for you. You still need to personally visit the sites and decide whether or not advertising on their web site would be profitable. Once you've collected names and email addresses, compose a message.

EXAMPLE

Subject: sponsoring your site

Hi [first name]

I am inquiring about your______ website. I am interested in sponsoring your web

page where we would pay you for displaying our banner at the top of one (or a few) of your pages.

Let me explain what we do. We have a book...... It can be seen at

www. mycompany.com.

What would you recommend for the best exposure at your web site (best value for the dollar) and what would be the cost? I would even consider being linked (or listed) from multiple sections of your web site, or having you sell the books directly. Do you have any other suggestions?

I am looking for a long-term advertising relationship, so keep that in mind when making your suggestions. I am ready to start ASAP, so a quick response would be appreciated.

A few other questions. How many visitors do you get weekly and how many visits do you get to the individual sections that I am interested in? Do you accept credit cards for sponsorship payment, or is a business check better for you.

Thank you for your time and help. I look forward to doing business with you.

Your name,

Telephone Number/Web Site

Your objective is to find 10 to 40 sites that don't currently have advertising, or offer cheap advertising, and negotiate a deal with ttiem. There are sites that you can offer $20 to $40 a month and will generate many hundreds of visitors for you.

Typically you can expect to pay $20 to $30 per 1000 impressions. Some places will charge $100 per 1,000 impressions, others as little as $5. It really depends on the site, how big they are, and whether they are Net savvy or not. Do your homework before you start negotiating.

Approximately two weeks after you send the first email to possible advertising sites, use Channels to subtract the addresses of all the people who didn't respond to you and email those people with a follow-up letter. You will get more replies from this email because many of the web site owners will have deleted your first email thinking it was junk mail. Following up lets them know you were serious.

EXAMPLE

Subject: Follow up Hi [first name]

I sent you an email 2 weeks ago, inquiring about advertising on your web site. I was disappointed that you didn't reply because I am interested in doing business with you. I have pasted a copy of the last email at the bottom of this page so you can review it, just in case you don't recall the content. Could you send a quick email to let me know whether or not you are interested?

I look forward to hearing from you, and I wish your web site the best of luck.

Thanks

Always look at all the options someone offers you. If they don't accept banner advertising, offer to trade links or endorsements or a commission on every customer they refer who purchases from you. There may be other ways to have a mutually beneficial relationship.

BANNER EXCHANGES AND NETWORKS

This is a third party service provider that acts as a mediator between advertisers and web sites. They bring thousands of web sites together with advertisers who are interested in running a banner ad campaign.

You can advertise your banner on thousands of web sites FREE as long as you agree to display their rotating banners on your web site. (The exchange gives you HTML code to insert in your web page and your site will display banners rotated from their inventory.)

This means that each time a visitor clicks on a page with the code, the visitor's browser will link to the server of the exchange to pull up a banner and display it on your site.

They make money by displaying one of your banners for every 2 banners that are displayed on your site. Then they sell the extra banner space (2 for 1) to advertisers who buy big blocks of inventory.

Many exchanges will allow you to target the group of people who will view your banners and you can specify the type of banners that appear on your web site. This is a good alternative if you cant afford to pay for banner advertising.

If your web site is receiving low traffic, then your banner doesn't get much exposure in the rotation. For your banner to

If your web site is receiving low traffic, then your banner doesn't get much exposure in the rotation. For your banner to get the most exposure, you need to display their banners in a high traffic area of your site. However, realize that this is funneling traffic away from your web site.

If your site is receiving lots of traffic, then you should be selling advertising, not exchanging.

The Exchanges and Networks are best utilized for testing purposes only. Here you can find out which ones pull the greatest amount and which have the best responses to targeted sites that you've personally negotiated ad deals with. Shop around. Prices vary, and avoid Networks that include "exclusivity clauses." You should be free to participate in any that you choose.

Another option is AdAuction.com (www.adauction.com). It sells discounted banner advertising inventory. If ad space has not been sold yet, some high profile sites will often put their inventory up for auction at below-market rates.

WHAT IF YOU HAVE SPACE

ON YOUR WEB SITE NOT SOLD YET

• Trade it to other related web sites that also have unsold ad inventory. Offer to display their

banner io.OOO times for free on your site in return for io.OOO times of YOUR Banner on their
site.

• Promote Yourself. - Create banners that promote your own products and services, and

run them on your own site to highlight new products or someplace else you want
visitors to look. It's an easy way to test some creative ads.

• Join a Lead network. - If your audience is a perfect match for what is being advertised then

this is profitable. You are paid per action-meaning when a visitor signs up for a free
newsletter, or enters a contest, etc.

• Join an Affiliate Program. - Use your unsold inventory to promote other business

products and services, and earn a referral fee. (More on this in Section 6)

• This Space for Rent. - Make sure potential advertisers know you have the space

available. Make it a beneficial ad, not just this space for rent.

• Give it away Free. - No one refuses free banner ads, and if you can prove that

advertising with you is profitable, you have a new client.

Loyal customers provide the incentive to lose a little money now, if you know that you'll make it back three times over in the next 12 months. Think about long term goals, and not just about how much you make today.

 Online Auctions

Hard to find or unique products do very well on auction web sites like eBay and uBid. You can use auctions to drive visitors to your sales site by auctioning your products online and then directing potential bidders back to your site for "more" of your products.

This section will talk a little bit about some hints to making online auctions work for you. However, if you are really interested in utilizing online auctions, go to www.keystoneresources.net where you can purchase a more extensive training guide that will walk you step by step through the process.

TEASERS/HOOKS

In the description of your item, always include a teaser or hook to get them to visit.

EXAMPLE Item for Bid - leather coat

Visit www.mywebsite.com for a free report on the 5 Things You

Should Know before Purchasing Leather Products

Use teasers to get people to visit your site, then collect their email address in order to send the free information to them. This will develop a database of email addresses to which you can send advertisements for new items you have for sale on your site. Create residual income by bringing more people to your site all the time. The more time they spend there, the more likely they are to buy there!

TITLE IS EVERYTHING

The title of your listing is one of the most important factors in getting your items sold. You want to include words that will draw in potential buyers. Use words and phrases like "best buy", "one of a kind", "new", to draw people in to your item listing. If they don't like the title, they'll just browse past it.

HAVE A PLAN

When you commit to yourself to work this as a business, you need to have a plan and be organized. Create a positive work environment where you will be comfortable. If you can't stand to sit at your computer in the dark, boring closet where it is now, then move it!

You need to feel at home and be able to focus on your work. You don't want to be watching the clock. Remember, this is supposed to be fun and easy, not drudgery.

Commit to work every day. Decide how much you want to sell and break it down like we did in the first section. Make a commitment to yourself to take the time to list the required number of items each day. It will pay off in the long run. Draw people to your website. Create repeat buyers and residual income.

You also need to keep track of all of your auctions. eBay will keep track of what you have currently running as well as items you've listed for the previous thirty days. This may not be quite enough to accurately manage your auctions and provide good customer service. A spreadsheet or database program such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access will be invaluable when it comes to tracking both current and past auctions. A simple search on the Internet will bring up other applications or forms that can be used as well as companies that specialize in that type of thing. Any one of these

utilities will greatly enhance your selling and will allow you to identify changes in your marketplace.

If you don't want to use an electronic application to track your auctions, you can simply create a planner or a notebook in which you can write down the items you have listed and the details that pertain to each one. Here is an example of a good way to keep track of your listings.

EXAMPLE

Today's Date

Today's Sales Total
Average Item Price_____

The item name is whatever you want to call it. The item number is the unique listing number that eBay assigns your listing. Write down the starting and final selling price.

Re-listing - If an item doesn't sell, eBay allows you to re-list the item on the same day as the auction ended. You can do this one time without additional listing fees. If you have selected any optional features, such as gallery pictures, those fees will be charged again.

Keep track of the payment information. What type of payment was used? When did you receive it? When did it clear? Keeping track of these kinds of details will keep money from slipping through the cracks.

Other fields - You may also want to add a space for whether feedback was given, and any questions that were asked during the auction.

SHIPPING

At the end of every auction, eBay sends out an email to the buyer and the seller with information on how to complete the transaction. It is then appropriate for you to send an e-mail to the buyer verifying your payment information and letting them know that you will ship their merchandise to them as soon as payment is received. This lets the customer know what to expect from you. You should have already told them in your auction

listing what method you will use for shipping, the cost involved, and payment

methods you accept.

Sending a verification email is simply a courtesy to the buyer. It also lets you know your buyer is serious about completing the transaction when they answer you promptly with their address and payment intentions.

Once the payment has cleared you should mail the item immediately. Never, ever send anything before payment has cleared. Stating within the auction that shipping

outside of the United States will cost more or that you will not ship outside of the United States will prevent people from taking advantage of you. Remember to be upfront and clear about the costs involved including insurance on the package, how it will be shipped, and what acceptable shipping locations you use and you should be all right.

Make sure you write down the delivery confirmation or tracking number of the shipment so that you can ensure the package actually gets there. Ship priority mail or faster when possible. Quicker delivery means a happier customer.

ANSWER YOUR EMAILS

Most buyers will send emails enquiring about your product between 12-24 hours before the auction ends. Make sure that you check and answer your emails regularly so that you can answer the bidders' questions in time for them to bid on your item.

If you list your items each morning, answer your emails each night. Set aside a time to do this so that you do it every day. You want to make sure to give potential buyers time to check their email before the auction ends.

Keep your answers short and to the point. As you begin to sell more and more items, especially if they are identical, keep a repository of all e-mails you have received and sent in return. Make a folder dedicated to general answers to customer questions and use these as templates when you receive a similar question. Always sign the e-mail with your name at the bottom, your website address where they can find additional answers and products, and always ask if there are any other questions you can answer

Writing an Effective Business Plan
What business plans are

A business plan is an outline of the basic idea and direction of a business. It is a process of evaluating a potential business opportunity and then outlining how that opportunity will be pursued.

A business plan brings together the different elements of a business including marketing, operations, human resources, accounting, etc., under a single roof so that all elements can work as a single unit.

A normal, full-fledged business plan that you might present to investors if you needed capital to start your business would be between 20-30 pages long. For your purpose, a 2-5.html minibusiness plan should be sufficient. You don't want to spend 10 weeks putting together a business plan and never get into designing and marketing your web site. The minibusiness plan that you'll want to create will be more like the executive summary portion of a normal business plan; therefore, we will call our minibusiness plan an Executive Summary Business Plan.

Why business plans are important

Business plans are a very important aspect of starting and running a successful business. Is it essential for you to put together a full 20.html business plan in order for you to be successful? No, but an outline of the key business aspects is a very good idea. Some of the major reasons for formulating a business plan are listed below.

1. To give overall direction to your company. - A business plan enables individuals from all areas of a company to come together under a single purpose and function. It is a communicating tool that merges ideas, concepts, goals, and vision. It forces you to define your main purpose and competitive advantage. Without a clear direction that is communicated throughout all areas of a company, failure is imminent. A business plan gets management, investors, and employees all on the same page.

2. To establish goals and checkpoints for your business that keep you going in the right direction. - The reason most start-up businesses fail before the end of the first year is because they are running a business on a dream or an idea. Their goals are to be financially independent, to have some retirement or travel money, etc. Without specific, measurable goals, and checkpoints for those goals, failure is likely. A business plan provides such goals and checkpoints that can keep an organization, whether large or small, moving forward.

3. To force you to do your homework instead of just guessing blindly - Homework--meaning market research, product research, etc. There are millions of businesses out there, how do you plan on competing? Knowing the size of your target market, their characteristics, and their needs, are important questions that a business plan forces you to ask.

4. Business plans are essential if you plan on receiving any type of financing - The first question any potential investor will ask is "What is your plan?" In other words, "Let me see your business plan!" Without a clear and concise business plan, obtaining any type of financing, whether it be from venture capitalists, the SBA, a bank, etc., is impossible. You may get some money out of a wealthy family member or friend without a business plan, but you shouldn't count on it. If you are not seeking financing at this time, an Executive Summary Business Plan should be sufficient.

Outline of an Executive Summary Business Plan

I. Purpose of the plan - Is it to attract capital from investors, act as a guide for the management? Establish goals and checkpoints for your business or some other purpose?

II. Business Description - - What is your business?

 What is your mission/vision statement?

 What is your product line?

 Is it focussed enough? What needs will you satisfy?

How will you compete in the market place? In other words, what's your competitive advantage?

A competitive advantage is what sets you apart from your competition. For example, do you have free shipping, secure ordering, free info that you send out, etc.?

Research your competition in order to determine what their competitive advantages are and then develop your own. Part of your site will be based around your competitive advantages.

III. Market Analysis - What are the current market trends?

What are the specific demographics of your target market?

 What characteristics do they possess? How old are they? Are they male or female? Do they have children? What other web sites would they visit and shop at? Who are your competitors?

IV. Development and Production - How will you fulfill your objectives?

How will your web site be built and who will build it?

 Who will manage, make changes and updates to your web site?

 Who will manufacture and ship your products?

 Who will cover shipping costs? How long will it take for the products to arrive in the hands of the customers?

 Who will handle returns? How will customer service issues be resolved?

V. Marketing Activities - What's the overall marketing strategy? How will you target and market to your customers?

 This is where you will outline the specific marketing tactics you plan on using for promotion of your business. (We'll cover over, You may also want to include a timeline for applying those marketing strategies. Additionally, you may include your sales projections. In other words, how much traffic and sales revenue do you expect during the first year on a month-to-month basis? What will happen in the second and third years?

VI. Management Team - Who are the key owners and managers? What are their credentials?

As your business grows, will you need to hire employees to fill certain positions? What are those positions and what credentials will you be looking for?

 What is the legal structure of your business? Will you form an LLC, a corporation, or will it be a partnership or sole proprietorship?

 What support services will you be outsourcing? (accountants for taxes, Internet Success Team, Internet Coaching Hotline, etc.)?

VII. Financial Data - What are the costs of starting your business? What will the future costs be? For example, did you buy or will you buy a new computer?

 Are you paying for web site design and advertising (Internet Success Team costs?) What are the future financial projections and how did you come up with them? (This information will be helpful when you go to do your taxes. You may want to put together an Income Statement that shows all the expenses and future financial projections.)

VIII. Final Objective and Risks - What's the long-term goal of the business? Do you plan on going public, will you grow it and then sell it? Will you expand into other businesses? Explain your future plans with your business here.

How To Write a Press Release For Viral Traffic
