MARKETING ON INTERNET
Working part time there is no need to set up a fancy outside facility. Your basement, spare room will do just as well. All you need to start on the Internet is a computer connected to the Internet.
Further there are some good tax breaks working from home. Your computer, Internet connection, part light, heat and any other expense you have running the business.
I found out the hard way that Internet business opportunities are almost never all they’re cracked up to be. The only persons who benefit from the opportunities are the people who start the programs and a few friends at the top.
If you intend on making a living on the Internet start out part time.
The failing rate on the Internet is over 94 percent, mostly because they buy into the MLM Marketer that promises all you have to do is join as a paid member.
Multilevel Marketing Plans/ Pyramids
Consumers say that they’ve bought into plans and programs, but their customers are other distributors, not the general public. Some multi-level marketing programs are actually illegal pyramid schemes. When products or services are sold only to distributors like you, there’s no way to make money as an affiliate.

Webmasters who are now on the web work overtime, researching, and
building trust, which enables them to sell on the Internet.
Before starting any business you should check out the rules and regulations that may affect what and how you’re selling.
E-BAY
You should also consider selling via eBay. Thousands of persons are making a good living today selling on eBay. They give you a lot of support with free information, tools and resources. Really a great way to start on the Internet part-time, as you have control on the hours you want to spend to make it work.
What I like about eBay is you can start by selling articles, products you have around your home, which you no longer have use for. The products you sell do not have to be new, but should be in good condition.
Protect yourself from spoof (fake) emails and Web sites. Take the Spoof Tutorial to learn about eBay Toolbar with Account Guard, which warns you when you are on a known spoof site.

SECURITY
The costs involved for security in the early 2000′s, made this part of Internet marketing the domain of large corporations. However by the middle of 2000, with widespread of network appliances coming online, small business and homeowners have found security is becoming reasonably priced.
Some sound computer advice if followed will not cost you a cent and should be the main most important security you can give to your online marketing experience. Just don’t get lured into a false sense of security just because you have security software installed. There is no software on the market that can stop a virus from getting on your computer.
Start with a solid password for your computer. Forget your favourite cat or dogs name. Come up with something, like close your eyes over your computer and punch 15-20 keys, including the $ , *, keys. Then pick out about 11-12 of the keys you punch and this will be your PW Code. Write it down in a little codebook you can carry in your pocket, never leave it on your computer.
Next never open an attachment unless you know who is sending it and you are expecting it. Be careful when downloading free offers, gifts, too. Great place for a virus to get a free ride into your computer.
Shaw is my server and they supply me with a free centralized firewall, which check for signs of unwanted visitors. They provide a log of attempted access to my computer, so you know who is trying to get in. This paper trail is for prevention and tracing. Most fraud artist knows this and will go to a less secure site.
Defragging Hard Drive
It is a function that people seem to ignore. When you ignore it your computer suffers. The best time to do it is when your ready to shut down in the evening. It does take time, and as a rule you can’t or should not use your computer until it is finished.
Opening a file or if Windows is running a program in the background will cause the program to terminate and restart.
LIGHTSIDE
Scam didn’t start with the coming of Internet. Remember the 40s when there was a newspaper seller on each Connor?
A young man was standing on the corner with a stack of newspaper, yelling “Extra! Extra! FIFTY people are swindled! Read all about it.”
Curious, a woman walked over and bought a paper. “Hey, this is an old paper, where is the story about the big swindle?” she demanded.
The newspaper man ignored her and went on calling, “read all about it: FIFTY ONE people swindled!”
DROP SHIP
There are many places that will supply you with a free course in drop shipping. They will give you ideas on where to find products to sell, and teach you what drop shipping is so you don’t have to stock your house with boxes of inventory.
Don’t be fooled by the junk drop ship lists that sell for to + and call themselves drop shippers. Most of these lists are worthless. They are resellers, charge you high retail prices, or you are required to pay a set up fee.
The good true drop shipper will not ask you for a fee. They will allow you to copy pictures of the products they sell. Prices are about half you would pay for retail. You can then set your prices. They will not include any of their material and ship under your label.
You should also check out some of the wholesale outfits in China. Low prices and some will allow you to buy 3-50 items. There are a few places in the USA that allow you to buy smaller amounts of items however, prices are a bit higher.
You can also go to Google and type in drop ship sites. Before dealing with any you can order an article under -and check them out for shipping and how they handle your order.
Here are three you can check out:
Wholesale Drop shipper of Stun Guns, TASERS®, Pepper Sprays, Personal Alarms, Hidden Cameras & Surveillance Systems

They carry most well known advertised brands in wallets, handbags, and sunglasses. They will constantly be adding new products.

MARKETING TIPS
“Let the buyer beware” is still a fact of life for consumers,
marketers are not given free rein to coerce, cajole buyers into
sales that may not be in the best interests of those buyers. Rules and regulations exist that limit how marketers can market.
Sales are a great way to entice buyers, but make sure your sales
are legitimate sales. Introductory offers is also a very forceful sales word. But to use the word the product is indeed new and offer should not be extended longer then six months.
False and Misleading Advertising
The intention to deceive is not what matters. What matters is the perception of the public. The test of whether or not an ad is misleading will be based on the effect on the average or unsophisticated person. Your advertising may also be deemed deceptive through omission or misleading implications. The bottom-line, “just the facts, just the facts.”
