The harsh truth of the Internet

OK, so everyone seems to think that the Internet is 'the NEXT BEST THING' and that anyone can make wads of cash - anyone who can put together a web page that is.

But amongst millions of webpages how does YOURS get FOUND??

That's what we offer you.

Is it a case that there is already too much on the Internet and that the Internet is perhaps a success for some and a dismal failure for others? Why do some seem to make a lot of money online and others bemoan the dismal failure of their websites, chanting the mantra of "the INTERNET DOESN'T WORK!"

Poppycock and nonsense! You can make money on the Internet about as easily as making money anywhere else. You need not be an intellectual, and you need not have ready cash available. If you can write - you may have noticed that the Internet is mainly comprised of billions of WORDS - you can compete with ANYBODY and YOU can make money. We know. We've done it - more about how later on...

Just as an aside, an interesting fact of the Internet is that e-commerce sites have grabbed the same share of retail sales it took catalog companies nearly a century to achieve...

e-commerce however is only ONE revenue stream that we use.

Another fact: While business and technology market-research analysts like Jupitermedia admit online sales account for a relatively modest piece of the retail market at roughly 2 percent, the medium has become invaluable for researching purchases.
 

Aha! The key words here are "researching purposes".

All our time over the years, all our experience has led us to this conclusion about the Internet:

PEOPLE LOOK FOR INFORMATION!

Just like you are doing right now!

The trick is how to take this staggering fact, this elusive "Holy Grail", this pearl of wisdom and turn it into money. We've learned how, and we're good at it.

So why do we want to share it with you?

Well, the simple honest answer is: We need you to help us make money. Who in their right mind would give away something valuable for free? (only cheats, charlatans and get rich quick schemes and we're neither)

Our team is small, just three people. Two chemical engineers and a philosophy major with a bent on Internet programming. Not a web designer or graphic artist anywhere in sight.

Because we're small, and because we don't want to employ teams of writers and developers and deal with all the administration of such, our proposal is to monetise our skills by sharing them with you. In turn you share your revenue with us - it's a partnership arrangement. But more on that later.

Remember, PEOPLE LOOK FOR INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. They don't look to buy. And if they are looking to buy, we know how to attract those people to our websites too - at very low cost. After all, we use the Internet to make money, not spend money on it. We've been through all the rip-offs, the get rich quick schemes, the con artists and the shenanigans of the Internet - we've been doing this for the last five years after all.

Ever heard of the lifetime value of a customer? It's an important concept because the Internet is the only medium that can allow you to fully realise the potential of this customer. Think about it. How many companies or businesses would you consider are a lifetime relationship? Your bank? Your life insurance company? Amazon.com?

I would hedge a bet that Amazon has a far greater chance than any bank or life insurance company, IF they do things properly of course. But the potential is there.

But let's get back to how we can help you make money on the Internet.

Well, people are constantly looking for information. This means they need targeted meaningful CONTENT that matches their need for information at a specific time. Ever notice how some of the most successful web sites are really BIG? Over 1000 pages in some cases!

We're only three people remember? Can you see where this is going?

If you can write meaningful CONTENT about something that you know really well and are passionate about, then you have something we need! We in turn have something you need- the ability to convert this into a money making opportunity on the Internet.

Sure, you could do it yourself - I learnt Front Page in under 2 weeks - it's that easy!

Oops. I've let out one of our secrets - now you know why we don't need, want or care that much for web designers.

But the chances are that you don't know what to do with the site once you have it. That's our forte, our area of expertise. You give us the content, we'll turn it into money for and we split the proceeds 50/50. The more content, the more you are likely to make.

And your COST is ZERO!

Nothing! Zilch! Zippo!

If you can write in your spare time, and if you can send e-mail, we'll handle absolutely everything else. Web site hosting, uploading the pages, putting the pages together, registering domain names etc. We'll cover all these costs.

WHY?

Because we know what the benefits of good content are. We KNOW the potential of the markets we compete in. We're so convinced of this strategy that we're putting our money where our mouth is because we know that every single one of our over 40 websites returns a profit. Now if we had 400 websites... And we'll take you along this journey as far as you want to go.

We'll train you in whatever fields we're competent in. Want to know HTML? Sorry, we don't even understand it. It's simply not necessary. You NEVER need to learn HTML. Want to know how to make your own pages? With pleasure, we'll teach you. Want to know how to get traffic? We'll show you. Want to know how we make the money we do? No problem!

Sound too good to be true? Should we be worried about being taken advantage of? No way! We don't believe it. 5 years on the Internet has shown us time and again that people basically are all good. 2% might rip us off, but who cares about 2%? It's insignificant to us. That's still 98% of people working with us and all making money with us and our abilities...

If you're wondering just how much more potential exists, online auction powerhouse eBay facilitated $8.3 billion in goods traded in the third quarter of 2004, according to a recent financial report.

Jeffrey Grau, senior analyst for eMarketer, cites the "democratization of the retail world" as a primary impetus.

For one thing, he says, the online buyer is morphing away from the original stereotype: an upper-middle-class male in his late 20s or early 30s.

Exclusive research performed by Ipsos-Insight on behalf of PayPal, the online payments division of eBay, found that 72 percent of companies doing business online cited higher sales as a positive outcome of their decision to launch a website.

Forrester estimates most shopping categories will post compound annual growth of between 10 and 20 percent during that period.

The choice to set up shop on the internet is a no-brainer, although some are worried about fronting the $50,000 to $100,000 it can take just to design a site - well not any more!

Seoza.com is offering a unique opportunity where your web presence will not cost you a cent. Xero. Zilch. Nadda. Nothing!

What's the catch?

Well, if you can call it a catch. We'll become partners of yours. You give us the content, we'll put it up on the Internet. You collect the cash - and we'll show you many, many revenue streams that we've used and which you can use successfully, and at the end of every month you send us a cheque for one third of the total revenue generated by the site.

Sound fair?

Let's see what we offer you.

Seoza.com comprises of three individuals that have been deeply involved with Internet marketing for a long time now. We KNOW because we have DONE, successfully, our own web sites that make us money. But, as only three individuals, our time is limited. We need more partners, more people committed to and passionate about something, anything that they are prepared to write about according to guideline that we will give you.

In short, we need content!

The Internet is all about providing useful information to people first and foremost. Think about your own Internet habits. You use the Internet to research, find information, read e-mail and some of you may even perhaps use it occasionally to buy something!

As we have seen above, this trend of actually buying stuff on the Internet is set to grow, and grow faster than any other sales mechanism...

BUT, and this is where we come into play, if you cannot get the traffic - people - surfers - to find your site, you cannot make money, not matter how much or how good your information is. 80% of ALL sites are found by using search. That's what Seoza does. We will take your content and make it search engine friendly such that your valuable information that will help others, can be found by search engines and thereby send visitors to the site.

Once this happens, we will show you how to monetize these visitors.

In effect, we're offering to help you make money on the Internet doing something you're already passionate about. If you succeed we all make money. If you fail, we don't make money. It is as simple as that. best of all, because we KNOW that the Internet encourages honesty, we'll do all of this at OUR risk. It won't cost you a cent. You have to put in some time and effort and generate content, and we'll manage that content in order to make money for both of us.

Fair enough?
