Hello! My name is Ray Herold and I'd
like to share with you my own experiences in the REAL world of
online business.
For 5 years I ran my own highly successful online,
part-time business from the basement of my home. That
business, TCM Computing, grossed on average $250,000/year. I
have also been involved in a number of other business ventures over
the years, all of which I am proud to say were successful. In
this book, I will describe in detail the strategies employed to
achieve those successes.
Over my 27-year career in the Information
Technology (IT) field, I have been a programmer, systems analyst,
database administrator, network administrator, manager of a web
development team, and Director of Information Technology
Architecture and Planning for an organization with over 10,000
people. Currently, I own my own web hosting service.
I have had two print books published, as well as
several dozen magazine articles. I have spoken at seminars all
over the country on the topics of effective web site design, web
site marketing, and a variety of other web-related business topics.
Writing this book to help other people achieve a successful online
business has been a goal of mine for some time. I will share
with you the realities of running a successful online business.
In the book, I will strip away the myths
and hype you so often see on the Web, and tell exactly what it
takes to be successful. I am very excited about this book and
I KNOW it will help you on your way to a successful online business
venture.
Read What REAL
People in the World of Online Business Are Saying About This
Book!
"It's very rare to read an
internet 'marketing' book that actually features real
marketing advice. Ray's book cuts to the chase and gives
real examples on how to turn your online business into a
winning model! It's a breath of fresh air in such a
cluttered industry, and something everyone should read
if they are serious about their online business!" Jon Olson

"Ray, this book leaves
off where the others never even begin. Internet
Marketers who do not understand these concepts will
soon succumb to failure. When I first started
marketing I simply joined programs and started
promoting. Within months I had more irons in the
fire than an octopus could handle. I had no 'game
plan' and was going nowhere, and without this kind
of essential information, I was getting there fast.
There are more marketing books on the Net than you
can 'shake a mouse at', but none of them give you
this kind of solid foundation for starting an online
business. By putting the odds in my favor, your book
could have shaved years from the time it took me to
go full time. With all of the opportunity the Net
affords us today, the timing of your book is right
on. It is not only very informative, it is an
entertaining read. I had to chuckle in one section.
You had me wanting to lace up my Nikes and wash down
a Viagra with a Pepsi. <grin>"
"Ray Herold has undoubtedly
come up with a definitive guide to starting and
running a business. His tone is friendly and light, but
most importantly, his writing is clear and concise.
Anyone reading this would not go away scratching his or
her head. Plus, Ray provides not only the how-tos of
good business, but a whole list of very valuable
resources to supplement his tutorial. Great book!"
"I've read alot of
ebooks
over the years and most are filled with 'fluff' and a
few facts, not the case with Ray's ebook, "So you want
an Online Business". Ray gives you a very straight
forward, common sense approach to operating a business
online. I found myself nodding in agreement and thinking
"exactly" as I read each chapter. Ray covers each
subject in depth and intelligently. If you are seriously
thinking about operating a business online you should
read this book, print it out and keep it next to your
computer as a reference."
"Ray, your ebook "So You Want an Online Business" is a real
gem, a must read and a valuable resource for anyone willing
to succeed in their online or offline business. You
have covered in details the essential information and the
main concepts required to make any business a success in a
concise and comprehensive way. Congratulations on an
outstanding product!!"

"I have just completed
reading your ebook. It should be considered mandatory
reading for anyone planning to start a business, either
online or off. Having seen the results of minimum or no
planning, this is an excellent blueprint"

CAUTION!!
This is a NO BS ZONE!!! I'm sure you have seen all the
e-Books, Web Sites, and ads telling you about the "SECRETS"
someone is going to share with you; how you can make a fortune
online with very little effort. That is a COMPLETE CROCK!!
If THAT is what you are looking for, then move along, nothing to see
here. I can't help you.
There are NO secrets.
There are no magic formulas. Running a SUCCESSFUL
business is all about hard work. It's all about tried-and-true
common sense approaches to building and nurturing your business.
That is what I am offering. I will provide you with a
step-by-step guide to creating a long-term, sustainable business.
The information I provide in this book
uses the same formulas I used to run a successful business from the basement of
my home. It is the approach I used to help a friend take an
idea for a SINGLE niche product and have him realize a significant buyout offer from a major catalog company after 18
months. And it is the same approach we took when I helped
another friend who owns a marina increase his motel reservations
by more than 33%. ALL successful businesses use the same set
of principles; and those principles WORK!
WHY YOU NEED THIS BOOK:
Studies by the SBA and other organizations
have shown that 90% of all small business failures occur as a result
of poor planning and mismanagement. It doesn't matter how good
your product or web site might be; true business success depends on
understanding fundamental business practices. Successful
people didn't achieve their success by hoping for the best; they did
it by having a clear vision, and by applying a coherent plan to
achieve that vision. Don't short-change your business goals or
your future. Begin your journey to business success armed with
KNOWLEDGE!
In the book, I will guide you through the
fundamentals: your business plan and WHY you need one; how to define
your business model based on your "market mix"; developing an
effective marketing strategy; building and retaining your customer
base; planning for the unexpected; designing your web site for
SUCCESS; optimizing your site for the search engines; and getting
people to your site.
The people who provided testimonials for
this book all run successful businesses. They all understand
what it takes. They didn't get to where they are by luck.
Listen to what they are trying to tell you. They want you to
be successful. And so do I.
My SINCERE goal is to help people
achieve online business success. I have dedicated countless
hours and effort to put together a publication I KNOW will help you.
With that in mind, I am making the following
offer:
$97 $47
I am SO sure you will
find this book useful, I am giving you a 100% ironclad
guarantee. I make NO promises of riches and fortune.
I'm sure you have already seen way too much of those empty
promises. This is about
REALITY, not more BS hype. But if you don't find the
information in this book to be an honest path to your online
success, I will REFUND your money within 30 days of
purchase.
