The Newbie’s Guide To
Online Fortunes
A Very
Simple And Easy Guide To
Starting Your Very Own Home Business
On The Internet, As
Soon As Possible!
The BASIC
FUNDAMENTALS
Let’s
start this report with some definitions
of frequently used terms so that you’re
clear as to what I’ll be talking about
later on in the coming chapters.
If
you’re not familiar with computers and
Internet, then read this chapter
carefully. I’ll be explaining in simple
English. Therefore I’ll strip off as
much technical jargons as I can so that
any ordinary person can understand
complex and technical
subjects. Therefore let’s begin, shall
we?
Just
What exactly is the internet?
The
Internet stands for Integrated Network.
The Internet is a GLOBAL network of
computers with hundreds of millions of
computers all over the world all linked
to each other. Your computer can easily
access to the Internet one of two ways:
-
Through an Internet Service Provider
(ISP). An ISP doesn’t provide any
type of content; it just provides a
connection to the Internet.
-
Through an online service (e.g.
America Online, Microsoft Network,
Prodigy, and so on). An online
service not only connects you to the
Internet but also provides content
such as daily news, stock quotes,
football scores, and information
resources.
Once
you have an Internet Access account, to
log on to the Internet you need to get
your own PC (Personal Computer) with a
modem. Most new computers come ready
with a built-in (internal) modem.
Then
all you need to do to access the
Internet is to connect your home phone
line to the modem, and dial an Internet
Access telephone number provided by your
ISP. A program in your computer will
enable you to access the Internet once
you dial in.
When
you are connected to the Internet, you
can easily send digital files and
information to another computer in the
network within minutes. The faster your
PC and Internet connection is, the
faster you can send your files.
With
your computer connected to the Internet,
you can easily and efficiently share
information with other users FROM AROUND
THE WORLD within seconds or minutes. If
you can share information easily and
efficiently – you can easily market your
products or services to others and make
money in the process at a very low cost!
You
can set up a system on the Internet to
send marketing information to your
prospects 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
52 weeks a year, because the Internet
doesn’t sleep, and its users are all
over the world, each living in a
different time zone! This system
consists of primarily your Website and
E-mail.
What is a domain name?
Basically, your domain name is the
internet address of your website, it
looks something like this:
"http://www.yourname.com"
Once
the domain name has been selected and
registered, no one else can register the
same domain name just as there can never
be two houses with the same address.
Your domain name can also be your
Internet Business name.
What is a website?
A
website can act as a brochure or sales
letter but in electronic form, viewable
only in your computer. A website can
also act as your physical business
premises.
Your
website displays your products in the
form of photos or illustrations and
words that describe what it is. People
can browse your website for the products
you carry from any PC with an Internet
Browser without having to go there in
person to see them.
What is a web browser?
An
Internet Browser allows your visitors to
view your website.
What is Email?
An
Email is mail in electronic format and
hence, Electronic Mail. Instead of
sending a letter to your friend by
writing it on a piece of paper, putting
it into an envelope and sticking a stamp
on it before going to the post office to
post it, you compose an e-mail in your
E-mail program and when you’re ready to
send, you click on the "SEND"
Button.
What is web hosting?
The
hosting of your website is the server.
Your website sits on the hard disk of a
big computer called a server that is
connected to the Internet 24 hours a
day. The server can also host other
websites simultaneously.
What is an "Autoresponder"?
An
Autoresponder is a computer program that
acts like your answering machine for
e-mail messages from your friends. You
can write out your messages in advance,
like the following example:
Note:
For your Internet business to be
successful, you must use an
autoresponder.

Please see below for your

Label Rights series.
===============================
Private Label Rights
Explained
===============================
If you are not that familiar
with what Private Label
Rights really is, Private
Label Rights allow you to
make limited to unlimited
changes to specific or all
parts of a digital product.
Changes can include:
* Changing the title of the
product,
* Putting your own name as
the author,
* Using your own E-cover,
* Embedding your own
affiliate links,
* Adding, removing and
editing the content of the
product,
* Editing the pre-written
sales letter,
* And even more!
The Difference Between
Private Label Rights And
Normal
Resell Rights
------------------------------------------------------
With Private Label Rights,
you are actually given the
editable rights to add,
remove, or add a digital
product freely, which you
cannot possibly do with a
Resell Rights product.
While you are allowed to
resell a product and keep
100% of the profits to
yourself with Resell Rights
products, you cannot modify
or "have control" of the
product's content let alone
passing on your own
credibility for that matter.
Now I am not saying that one
type of rights is better
than the other.
But if you are looking
forward to having the
freedom of
having a product in your own
name - and without having
to go through the process of
creating your own product
- you will do well to
consider purchasing Private
Label
Rights.
However, do you REALLY know
what to look for in a
Private Label Rights
product? If you do not know
how
to tell a good investment
from bad, all good and bad
deals look the same.
This is one of the basis of
my guide to Private Label
Rights.
Discover what to look for in
a Private Label Rights
product before purchasing it
and the best places to
source for them.
Get your copy now and save
yourself from making
terrible Private Label
Rights investment mistakes!

Once
you’ve turned your Autoresponder on at
your e-mail address, anyone sending
e-mail to your e-mail address will
automatically receive your message above
– without any need for you to send it
manually!
A
Sequential Autoresponder is a computer
program that will AUTOMATICALLY send out
MORE THAN ONE pre-written e-mail address
that has been set to follow-up with
different messages in sequence. You can
specify the interval between each
pre-written messages and as many e-mail
messages as you wish.
What is an FTP program?

FTP Program enables you to deliver
digital files to your website’s host
directly from your own computer through
the Internet so that your website can be
ready to be viewed by your visitors.
This program is also enables you to edit
and delete existing web pages and
images.
