A No Brainer Way to Build a Successful Site

Here’s a no brainer way to build a successful site: “borrow” a super-successful idea from one market and use it in another market.

Here’s a great example…

You’ve heard of MySpace, right?

(If not, you’re not on the Internet, which means you’re not reading this

So…

Why not…

MySpace for pets???

Check out http://www.petbrags.com

Pet lover’s can create their own pet’s webpage for free, including photos and video.

There’s a great community “feel” to the entire site, including blogs, forums, groups and chat.

And the site is child friendly and safe. The owner monitors content, welcomes new members, and watches out for children.

If the site gets enough users and traffic, monetizing it will be no problem.

In fact, Pet Brags could become a multi-million dollar site.

And it’s not even an original idea!

So, what successful ideas can you “borrow” from other industries to use in your own niche?

Makes you think, doesn’t it?

As you go through your day, keep asking yourself…

How can I apply this (whatever you’re reading, seeing, thinking, hearing) to my business?

Write down the ideas, no matter how silly.

Keep up the process, and I’ll wager that within a month (if not sooner) you’ll have at least 3 million dollar ideas yourself.

Here’s How To Let Your Customers Do The Selling For You

If you sell products online, here’s a question you need to answer: How do your customers know your products are the right ones for them?

One way is to take a super successful idea from Amazon’s website, and let your customers review the products you offer.

I can tell you from personal experience that I pay more attention to customer reviews than almost anything else when making a purchase (and I bet you do, too.)

For example, if I want to purchase a book on beekeeping, Amazon returns 2,396 results. How am I supposed to pick out the right book for me out of 2,396, when I can’t even glance through them?

Easy. I look at the customer reviews.

If it weren’t for them, I’d be too confused to make any purchase.

But with the reviews, I feel like I’m getting real, unbiased info from people who have actually ordered and read the book.

So what are you selling? Healthy snacks? Pet supplies? Info products?

No matter what it is, you can let your customers leave reviews on the products they’ve purchased
