Legitimate Online Business Proving Much More Difficult For The Hopeful Beginner

Getting a legitimate online business up and running sounds easy enough. Build it and they will come doesn't the saying go?

Today though the internet is a very competitive place and if you have been told otherwise you have been seriously misinformed. To have a successful legitimate online business you will need at the least a basic understanding of SEO, online marketing, web design and keyword research.

All these skills can be learnt as you go along but here's an important fact for you to consider:

97% of new online marketers have given up long before their second year approaches.

This is because of the steep learning curve and the cost of all the tools, courses and ebooks that are constantly pushed as the "next big thing" for the new online entrepreneur.

I and many many like me have each paid out many 1000's of dollars on all these "must have tools" that never deliver on their promises and in the end you just cut your losses, realizing that understanding everything required to allow you to compete with the professionals is going to take several years rather than the few months the ebooks tell you.

It was 18 months a go that I found myself in this mess. I had been trying to turn a profit for the last six months but apart from a few bucks from Adsense I was way out of pocket and in fact it was so bad I had taken to hiding bank statements from the wife because of the amount I was throwing away at Clickbank on so called "money making tools."

It was then I found Niches In A Box. Here was a legitimate online business that could see my needs. Niches in a Box knew I didn't fully understand how to write articles that would rank at the search engines, how to create a sales letter that got sales, how to do the keyword research, capture email leads, create my own product that people would want and most importantly, how to put all those pieces together.

Because they realized that I and hundreds of others who genuinely wanted a legitimate online business didn't know how to do all of the ground work, they did it for us. Every month they give us 15 sites all built around a common topic and all designed to make a profit as quickly as possible. Everything is provided including a quality ebook to sell, a report to give away, professionally made videos to promote your ebooks, top quality websites and blog and even an auto responder complete with 10 emails ready to send out to people requesting more info!

You simply use the software that's provided to upload everything to a host and that's it, within 30 minutes you have your very own online cash machine and because you don't have to worry about all the site creation, creating a product, keyword and market research etc. it allows you the time to get on with promoting your websites by concentrating on article marketing and link building etc.

How much will I make?

While my newer niche sites make a few hundred dollars this grows as the site ages and my link building grows. My first niche sites that are over a year old now pull in several thousand dollars each a month and I have been earning 5 figures a month for some time now, going full time as an online business around Christmas time 2007.
