Get an idea, buy a domain name, build a website and the money flows… Right?

Internet Business and Internet Marketing, it all sounds so interesting and easy…

Get an idea, buy a domain name, build a website and the money flows…

Right?

Maybe…

If the idea is right, the research is sound, the website is optimized and the effort is complete. Building an Internet business is no less difficult than starting a traditional brick and mortar retail or wholesale business.

Don’t let anyone tell you different!

Lets look at the second step most people take when entering the Internet business world – Buying a Domain Name.

This is my debut as an Internet Radio Show Co- Host! – eBay & Beyond about to Go LIVE

Dave White of the widely listened to Internet Radio show “eBay & Beyond Basics to Business” will be firing up the engineers console at his radio show soon. This is my debut as an Internet Radio Show Co- Host!

So give a listen – the show starts soon – just follow the link below and be sure to call in with any questions. The show is replayed on a continuous loop all week so if you miss the “Live” version you can always join in at a later date. Dave tells me we are also on i-Tunes. Just look for “eBay & Beyond Basics to Business” in the i-Tunes Store under podcasts.

The Title of the show is “eBay & Beyond, Basics to Business” and that sums up a lot of stuff. I think Dave is wanting my perspective added to the show because I have sought out the “Beyond” end of the spectrum when it comes to eBay and eCommerce. The show’s listeners want to learn more about outside sources of revenue, exposure, and income which go beyond just eBay sales. Frankly I am glad to help and believe that more eBay sellers should look outside the big box that is eBay into the rest of the Internet world. There are so many opportunities and interesting ideas available to online retailers. I sometimes forget how myopic the eBay world can be, once you are in the eBay universe you sometimes forget there is a whole other solar system out there.

Neither Dave White or I would ever say that abandoning eBay would be a wise business decision. There are still too many advantages to having an eBay channel set up for your business. Fee hikes, feedback changes, DSR levels, all do not outweigh the real measureable expeosure gained via eBay sales. If a company were to simply look at eBay sales as an advertising budget decision, then they would be looking at the lost cost per sale advertising campaign in the world.

But I digress, this story is about Dave White and his great radio show and how I hope to add value for the listeners with honest answers to questions about blogging, web 2.0, web 3.D and more.

The show is broadcast live every Sunday between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. The beauty of the Internet is that after that time you can join the show in a continuous loop 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world just by following the same link:

Show Goal: provide honest, fair and independent information and training to eBay and internet marketers.
