How To Use Bartering To Gain An Advantage
Over Your Competition
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
 
If you have a business on the Internet you should be bartering
goods and services with other businesses. You should always
try to trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals
usually require no money. Although sometimes you may need
money to offset the value of the goods or services being traded.
 
Bartering will give you many advantages over your competition.
It can save your business money. You can spend the extra
money on a buying paid Internet advertising. It allows you to
offer your products and services at a lower price than your
competition. You can afford to get the higher priced goods and
services to compete on the internet.
 
There are numerous ways to find barter deals online. Set up a
barter message board or chat room on your web site to get
more barter offers. Note on your web site or e-zine you are
willing to barter for goods and services. Join newsgroups or
e-mail discussion groups that are about bartering. Join an
online barter club to meet other businesses that barter. Find
web sites that barter by looking up the keywords barter, trade,
or swap in your search engine of choice.
 
There are a few things you should do before bartering. Compile
a list of your goods and services you are willing to barter.
Make a list of goods and services you need or want for your
online business. Know the approximate cash value of the
things you are trying to trade and the value of the things you
are seeking in return. All of this information can help you
negotiate a successful barter deal.
 
When proposing a barter offer, tell the person the benefits of
the barter deal. Explain to them why it would be a win/win
situation. Give their business many compliments in your
proposal. Prove to them why it would be a fair trade. This
type of proposal can increase your chances off them saying
“Yes, I will barter.

How to Eliminate Your Competition Without Bloodshed

How To Eliminate Your Competition Without Bloodshed
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
 
So how do you eliminate your competition without
bloodshed? You must create a niche for your business. A
niche is something that makes your business different
from your competitors. To compete with other businesses
nowadays (especially online) you need something that
nobody else can copy. One of a kind!
 
First you must know who your competitors are. Is your
business the onlyone of its type? I doubt it. If so, it
won’t be for long. Do you know your exact target
audience? If not, you will have to find out this
information before creating any kind of niche. Below
are two ways to come up with a competition eliminating
niche.
 
1. Just Ask! The first way to come up with a niche is
to think like your target audience or customers. Know
their exact needs, wants, goals, problems and
interests. There’re two ways to do this: The first way
is to put yourself in their shoes, think like them. The
second way is to give them polls and surveys to find
out what they’re thinking. Pick a niche that none of
your competitors are using. If you can’t find one that
your competitors aren’t using pick one to improve.
 
2. Just Think! The second way to come up with a niche
is to use your brain power. Ask yourself questions
like: How can I set myself apart from my competition?
What could I offer that they can’t? Imagine or
daydream that your business is on top of all your
competitors. What niche put your business at the top in
your head? Now, if you keep asking these questions your
mind will eventually start shooting out more ideas than
you can handle. One of those ideas may be the niche
you’re searching for.
 
Now that you have your niche that’s just half the
battle. You must test it. Does your niche appeal to
your target audience? Will it attract people away from
your competition? If it does, you’re done, until your
competition comes up with a better niche. If your niche
doesn’t, than repeat the process above and test a new niche until it
works. If you want to eliminate your competition and be
successful you will use this process several times in
your business life.
