Community

Are you interested in meeting like-minded business people online? If so, there is a good chance that you may have some interest in Web-based business networks. A Web-based business network is, in a way, like a community in the sense that it allows Internet business users to connect and communicate with each other on a regular basis, similar to the local Chamber of Commerce and other such traditional groups, except that the communication is done virtually via Zoom, Skype, Go To Webinar or one of the other Web-based platforms.

Despite the fact that Web-based business networking have rapidly increased in popularity – during a pandemic which still lingers – and their popularity is only expected to keep rising, there are many business owners, managers and entrepreneurs who use the Internet but are unsure as to whether or not membership in a Web-based business network is something they want to do.

Why join?

Depending on your level of interest in determining whether or not you should join a Web-based business network, it may be worth learning about why such groups have gained increased popularity, since doing so may help you determine why other internet users have made the decision to join a Web-based business network. After such an examination you might even find that those are the same reasons why you should, or would, want to join such a network. Among the reasons other business people have joined is the ability to easily meet other Internet users with similar business interests, some of which may compliment each other.

Before Web-based business networking it was difficult to meet other business people in a comfortable, professional and convenient setting without leaving their offices or home if the business is home-based. Business professionals had to rely on in-person meetings at physical (brick and mortar) locations instead. Are you familiar with, or have you ever been a member of BNI? That organization is a good example of the kind of off-line business networking groups to which I referred and even those meetings had to adopt Web-based (virtual) meetings during the pandemic, and a few chapters may still meet virtually.

The technology

Technology has made Web-based business networks a safe and secure way for business professionals to meet other business professionals online and, in many cases, it also allows professionals like you to meet people who have the same or similar interests as yourself. Most Web-based business networks allow you to create your own profile and many even give you your own webpage. These profiles/pages will allow you to share information about yourself, including your likes and dislikes and since all other network members are likely to have the same pages and profiles, it should be fairly easy for you to meet up with other internet business users, especially those businesses that tend to compliment your business type.

Another one of the many reasons why you may wish to join a Web-based business network is because membership allows you to literally have a wide variety of different choices because, as Web-based business networks increased in popularity, so did the number of websites that could be found offering such memberships. Although Linked-in is often deemed the most popular Web-based business network, there are others that are just as easy or as much fun to use. You should be able to find those websites easily by simply performing a basic internet search.

Free and paid

Perhaps the best reasons to should join a Web-based business network is the fact that most are free to join, free to use and free of overly restrictive rules and guidelines. Popular free networks include Linkedin, Happiness Neighborhood Project, and Alignable. In addition to free Web-based business networks, there are online networks in which you are required to pay in order to join, and although you may not want to pay for something that you can obtain for free elsewhere, you are likely to find that most paid networks offer you more membership benefits when compared to free business networks.

Due to the fact that most Web-based business networks are free to use or at least free to try, it is recommended that you take a closer look at this type of networking for businesses. If you are dissatisfied with what you see you can easily cancel your membership at anytime; but if you find value in networking with other business professionals, then by all means, upgrade where necessary to maximize the benefits that accompany that action, expand your membership, grow your list of contacts and enjoy the increased profits that are often the result of such business growth.

Avoid failure

Millions of Americans who tried to make money online have failed in that pursuit due to a number of factors, ranging from lack of experience and/or Web marketing savvy to insufficient time devoted to the field of expertise they chose. If you are interested in taking part an online business opportunity, no matter what that opportunity may be, it is recommended that you know exactly what you are getting into before agreeing to invest your hard earned money in a venture with which you are unfamiliar or signing a contract which, by its very nature, is binding. Adhering to this tiny bit of advise may be helpful to you in protecting yourself.

If you are in search of an online business opportunity and come across a product, or multiple products to which the ownership rights to it – or to them – are being offered for sale, you may want to consider such an offer, but not before doing a little research of your own to determine the quality of such products. These products, mostly informational in nature, and the rights to them being offered for sale are known as private label rights (PLR) products, and the field of endeavor is known as private label rights. Such rights are offered on a number of different products pursuant to varying levels of limitation.

PLRR defined

These products are all Web-based and most commonly include e-books, software programs, or written content for blogs and websites. Private label resell rights are best described as those rights offered by product creators who often do not have the time, money, or experience needed to sell their own finished product; and since a product creator tends to lose money each day that his/her product does not sell, s/he needs assistance from more savvy Web marketers who may not have the same level of creative skill or knowledge to create his/her own product, and if you identify better with the latter you could could avail yourself of the opportunity to make money online via PLRR buy-sell transactions.

To get their product on the market and make money at the same time many product creators, such as e-book authors or software designers, sell the resell rights to their product. The asking price for these products will vary, but most resell right products do not cost more than a few hundred dollars. So if you are able to come up with this money you will not only be helping the product creator make money, but yourself as well will make money; and since you legally obtained the resell rights to the product(s) in question, you can start to profit from each sale that you make immediately depending on how good a marketer you are. Of course, like any other business venture, it is not always as easy as it sounds.

PLRR taboo

When it comes to purchasing the resell rights to a private label product, such as an e-book or software program, there are buyers who quite often make the one costly mistake that s/he is unlikely to correct with the same transaction. That mistake entails picking a product that does not sell due to poor quality, lack of demand or too many of that particular product type already over represented in the marketplace. To make money you cannot just select a random private label product, instead you must research the market and learn what customers want and need to buy. Doing so will allow you to obtain the resell rights to a product that is in high demand and therefore will sell, which in turn will result in you making money.

The best way to learn about products, topics, or issues that are currently popular on the Web is to use the Web. There is a great selection of books, audios and videos on the subject of private label resale rights at the PLR Treasury website, and the best part is that it is free. Also you will want to read the news on a daily basis and you may also want to actively participate in online discussions. You can easily do this by joining a number of different message boards in which many Web users post important questions and product requests. If you are able to find a product such as a specific software program or e-book that is being requested on a large scale, you may be able to use that product into an opportunity to make money on a profitable scale.

Research, research, research!

In addition to using the Web, you are also advised to always keep your eyes and ears open because you never know what or where you will learn something new. Reading the news and participating in online message board discussions are just a few of the many ways that you can go about researching the need (market demand) for a particular product. This research may be time consuming but it is, necessarily, the best thing you can do to protect yourself from a money-losing (money-draining?) investment which, not only result in a severe blow to your budget, but to your confidence as well and turn you completely off the Web marketing franchise.
