Don’t Start A BANS Store, Start A BANS Business
Posted by admin
One of the fundamental truths related to Build A Niche Store is that it takes time to grow and see success. Most people fail because they treat BANS like a store. Meaning, they just install it, write a minimal amount of content and that is it. They wait a few weeks and then quit on the store because it’s not producing the results they expect. Do you do this in a real business? No, there is much more effort exerted in a real business situation and thus greater potential for longterm results.
Perfect example. Earlier this summer, I planted about $300 worth of summer flowers and new shrubs in the flower bed out front of my house. Granted I’m in Texas, so it gets really hot. Flowers can not make it alone here in the Texas heat. I have two options. I can either let the flowers die and give up my investment. Or, I can water those flowers and put a little daily effort in to see them live and be able to enjoy the beauty all summer long.
And there we have it. Someone e-mailed me for help several weeks back. I spent about 4 hours over the phone helping this person get their store up and running. Literally two days later, I get a notification from ClickBank that this person has requested a refund on their BANS store. They quit, after tow days they quit. Why? Because they were looking at BANS like it was a store and not a business. They were looking at BANS like it were some automated system that just deposits money into their bank account.
BANS is not that. It’s a business tool. A tool that you can grow a successful internet business around. But, it’s all based on you and your effort to help make your business grow.
How It’s Done
One of the most critical steps to any business is contacts. A business needs good contacts to grow and sustain repeating business. I’m kind of old school, so I use an old fashion method of getting my sites to stick to people I meet. And that is with business cards. In or digital world, the art of the business card is quickly becoming lost. Business cards are still very powerful and they do work. I drop them everywhere and give them out to everyone.
When I’m on the driving range or playing golf, I will literally strike up a conversation with a guy and then at the end slip him my business card promoting my golf related BANS business.
IT WORKS. Word of mouth and the old school method of building relationships offline still work.
Cheapest Way Possible
I’m pretty cheap and I don’t like to spend money. So, how do you get business cards without breaking the bank? Simple, VistaPrint offers FREE business cards. You just pay the shipping and handling. I’ve use this service and the quality is just awesome, especially for something free. You get 250 for free. I’m not sure how long they will continue to offer these free business cards, but they have been doing it for years. So, it can easily factor into your BANS marketing plans.
