Have you ever had a brick and mortar business failure? I have and it was NOT a fun experience. The painful losses may be what drove me to online marketing. The Internet offers the most attractive risk vs. reward equation you will ever find…period.

Here’s what I mean:

We began CactusCanyon.com with a $3.95 a month hosting package with GoDaddy. The domain name cost us $9.95 for a year.

We bought the first case of product at a wholesale price of $200. We made our first sale in a few weeks with the new website. (Needless to say, I was a bit excited!) We only purchased one case at a time for several weeks. I was determined NOT to “over extend” myself as I had done with the brick and mortar business.

Soon, the profits allowed us to buy 2 cases at a time…then 3…then 5…and it just kept growing!
My marketing was 99% SEO, so there were basically no marketing costs. Google loved the site and we loved Google. We learned a lot fast. All about credit cards, shopping carts, shipping, etc.

It was (and still is) a fun ride. After two years of running the business at night and on the weekends, my wife quit her job. The next year I quit mine and then began Weber Internet Marketing.

Could there be a better risk vs. reward example? If you have one, let me know. I’m having the time of my life right now and would love to have you on board! Click here for more information about  Platinum Memberships.
