Time Is Your Key Weapon
There is no shortage of would-be
‘net entrepreneur’s.
Because we offer an original
software product aimed at do-it-yourself ebook authors and sellers,
I get a lot of questions and requests for help from Knowledge
Download readers.
When we launched our hosting
business (http://www.baport.com) last year to compliment
the Knowledge Download software tool, we didn’t really
know what to expect.
We have seen many clients who have purchased
a subscription to Knowledge Download that became clients of
BAPort web hosting. And, we have had the privilege of watching
clients attempt to build their online business.
One of the lessons we have learned is the
most powerful of all:
The value and power of time.
For those of you who don’t know, I launched
Knowledge Download back in early May of 2002. Counting May and
running thru January 2003, that site and it’s offerings
have only been online for 8 complete months.
I’m not going to share our revenue figures
with you, but suffice it to say the products are generating
a solid income stream. Each month, that income stream grows.
Time is a weapon in your arsenal. Persistence
pays off over time.
I’ve already witnessed over a half dozen
attempts by people to build an online ebook business that have
pulled the plug in less than 60 days!
How on earth can anyone expect to generate
a decent income stream in 60 days? How could it be sustainable?
If you are using the Internet to market and
sell products and services, then you better have a 3 to 5 year
horizon and commitment.
After 8 months online with Knowledge Download,
I can assure you that more search engines spider the site, more
refer our service, more subscribers sign up for the newsletter
and offers for joint ventures start to roll in.
I can’t wait for the one-year mark to
pass!
