Here is something you may have never considered.

This tactic might be the shortcut you’ve been looking for to turbo boost your online business.

As you probably know, there are a lot of products on the market that will teach you how to build a successful online business. Some of these products are not cheap… $1000+ is not uncommon.

Then, once you are armed with the necessary information, you need to dig in your heels and get to work.

2 months… 6 months… or 24 months later… you are still trying to put the pieces together.

Sound familiar?

One of the biggest mistakes I see online entrepreneurs make is trying to do everything all at once. Being a “jack of all trades, master of none”, as the saying goes.

You research, research, research… become an HTML master and conversion expert, install some site building software, build a website… and then what?

Have you ever considered buying an existing web business? (letting someone else do all the hard work for you)

If so…. not so fast.

Basically, you have the following option which I will cover below. It has advantages and disadvantages.

Option: Buy an established website

Unfortunately, there are plenty of scam artists out there who will sell you a website that looks decent, but in reality it’s a piece of garbage. eBay is full of these crappy sites for sale.

Did you know that it’s actually quite easy to artificially inflate the Page Rank of a website or
show traffic stats that suddenly drop off once you buy the site?

Bottom line. It’s easy for you to get *duped* into buying a dead-beat website that isn’t worth 10 bucks.

Sitepoint.com is a good place to find a website to buy, but once again, you need to be careful.

Think about this… you buy an established site for $300-$600 (saving you hours, if not weeks of work) and then focus your efforts on promotion — which is the REAL key to success. (most people neglect it).

Building a site or blog is the first step. The second step is promoting the heck out of it.

That’s about it.

If you’ve never considered buying an established website, I would suggest that you check out Sitepoint.

I hope this gives you something to consider as alternate ways to build your online business — without you taking 12 months, buying endless info-products and software OR you doing ALL of the heavy lifting, grunt work and getting your hands dirty along the way.

This just might be the shortcut you’ve been looking for.
