What is WebCraft?
The wordy definition for the term ‘WebCraft’ is, “…the practice of combining Internet-based components to create an automated series of pre-determined events which result in the exchange of products for money.” In simple terms, WebCraft is all about making money on the Internet.
WebCraft isn’t rocket science but before I go into specifics, I’d first like you to consider the definition of the term…, income.
What is Income?
An online glossary of terms’ definition…
Income - The amount of money received for labor, for services, from the sale of goods or property, or from investments. Source – http://www.numbernut.com/glossary/i.shtml
Take another look at the income sources mentioned in the definition above and you’ll see that each belong to one of two distinct camps.
Income is gained by…
• Camp 1 – Exchanging time for money: labor or services.
• Camp 2 – Exchanging products for money: sale of goods or property, investments.
Camp 1 – Exchanging Time For Money – Most people exchange their time for money by laboring in a job that ‘rewards’ them with a fixed rate of pay, usually hourly. As there are only so many hours in a day, there is a limit to the level of income earned in a day.
Camp 2 – Exchanging Products For Money – People who exchange products for money are ‘rewarded’ with every successful transaction. As there is no limit to the number of transactions performed in a day, there is no limit to the level of income earned in a day.
What is Your Time Worth To You?
Spending long hours at work regurlarly puts a burden on people trying to find time for their kids, partners, extended family, friends, etc. This creates a very stressful existence for those trying to secure the lifestyle and freedom they’ve always dreamed for their loved ones.
Question: Given the choice, would you rather exchange 40 hours of your life each week at a rate of $10 per hour to earn $1600 per month or would you rather exchange a $100 product, four times per week to earn the same monthly amount? Better yet, how about exchanging a $200 product, eight times per month? That’s only two ‘exchanges’ per week for the same monthly income. Do you see where I’m going with this?.
Ok, so we’ve established the advantages of exchanging products rather than your time for money. Now you’re probably wondering how you go about acquiring products to exchange for money and how much is it going to cost to acquire these products? Don’t worry, later on I’ll reveal how you can easily source quality products for free.
Stacking The Odds In Your Favor
By now you’ll have probably realized that I’m all about you stacking the odds in your favor at every possible opportunity. Knowing how, when and where to exploit the power and speed of the Internet means you get to squeeze the maximum return from the minimum investment of your time, effort and money.
So where do you begin? Well, there are ten definitive principles or ‘disciplines’ essential to online income success. To fully appreciate why these disciplines are essential, you first need to have a clear picture in your mind of your income-generating objectives.
Income-Generating Objectives
Your online income success relies upon your ability to accomplish the following income-generating objectives.
• Locate a market (find ‘groups’ of people seeking a solution to a specific problem)
• Locate a solution (find a product that can solve their specific problem)
• Create an offer (place an information page onto the web describing the ‘solution’)
• Inform the market (tell these ‘groups’ where to find your information page)
• Generate a steady flow of visitors (continuously inform the market)
• Identify with your visitors (let your visitors know you understand their problem)
• Convince your visitor to buy (make your ‘solution’ offer too irresistible to pass up)
• Lengthen the relationship between you and your customers (offer further solutions)
99% of all Internet newbies DO NOT know this list exists and yet, this should be the first thing they should read when first starting out.
