New fun way to shop

The search for the right home based business has been happening for some time now and I have examined many opportunities. I've seen lotions and potions, juices and vitamins, cosmetics, self-development, phone companies and every house cleaning product.

I don't want to buy stock, sell to friends, irritate my family, go to hotel meetings and hype myself and others up with a story that bears no fruit. In short, I want to work my own hours from home, spend time with my family when I choose, have little or no overhead, have customers seeking me out, walk away from work when I like...and I almost forgot...be handsomely rewarded for my efforts!

Go on! Have a laugh! I used to think it was impossible to find as well and it took me near a year of online searching before I found the right opportunity to work with. Let me explain why. I love trends. I love things that are new, happening, that everyone is talking about...and I love to profit from them. What I do know is you have to think differently from the next gal to get an edge and turn it to your advantage. Fortunes are won in harder times by seeking trends and profitable markets.
Like every other cycle, this economic downturn will turn up again but I have learned that great businesses often start in times of lower economic prosperity and reap the rewards as better times return. When everyone else is heading for cover is when the brave tread new ground and uncover 'hidden gems' in the rough. Think like a diamond miner! New trends are popping up on the internet all the time, if you're alert enough!

I want to share a lucrative, new internet trend with you that can massively increase your income! Think that's a tall statement - let's look at some simple concepts before you dismiss it out of hand!
There is little about emerging internet trends that is ever simple to grasp and there is a real danger of completely failing to comprehend the potential scale of this very powerful viral marketing trend. I confess, it took me more than one read to sense its depth.

The real power of viral marketing is when
customers promote your business for you.

This is then a consumer driven market!
I've always liked the idea of working from home and a home-based business idea is a very viable concept in terms of giving me a life that I’m looking for. Who wouldn't seek continuing passive, residual income? Who wouldn't want time off and the money keeps rolling in? Better still, who wouldn't like a business that doesn't require continual care, management and scrutiny?

In the last two years, I've examined several successful online businesses. I learned the ropes around internet and began to learn more about marketing trends and viral marketing. These businesses whet my appetite for a bigger play. They taught me the power of viral reach with the internet and how to get around physical, geographical boundaries for my market places.

The one thing I observed about the internet is the continual emergence of trends. It's always been evident to me that understanding trends and getting on them early must be key.

"Find Out Where Everybody's Going and Get There First" - Mark Twain
As recently as the first week of June 2009, I learned of an online concept that is unlike the world has seen. Starting with an online reverse auction in Germany in 2006, then moving to every country in EU last year 2008, DubLi has revised the online shopping arena and this is going to extend worldwide.

In May 2009, several Australians were contacted about this company, some six months before its Oct 2009 launch in this country. Fortunately, with years of experience in successful direct marketing businesses one was able to recognise an emerging trend with a unique point of difference and he acted quickly to contact those he knew.

My team was part of the pre-launch activity and for one of the first times in my life, I was given a 'ground floor' opportunity to become a part of a massive growth story that Australians won't hear of for some time yet. Now I had never heard of DubLi but since it is relatively new in the USA and has never operated in Australia, it is a new name on our shores altogether.

Mark my words, in the next two years, you will hear of little else
but DubLi in relation to online shopping!

It took one week of due diligence to convince me of the depth of this venture. Not because the model was sound and I've seen it before...but the opposite. Nothing on this scale has EVER been done before and you need a big imagination to concieve it and attempt to grasp the enormity of it. I promise you that at first glance, you won't 'get it' and it has taken me time to grasp.

"Ground floor' is an overused, hyped up, cliched term that rarely means what it should. Like a limited, time-restricted opportunity to put your best foot forward and get an edge on the next guy who doesn't know about it. Think shares before they take off at listing.

If you’re looking for a home-based business, you need to look in the realm of e-commerce. Why? The first 15 years of commercial availability of the internet brought 1 billion people online and we saw the advent of the eBays, the Googles, the Amazons, and MySpaces.

Soon after on their heels came YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. So you think they're only social networking and video sharing sites?

How do they profit? Just watch and see if any busy social networking site doesn't incorporate a shopping site at some future time. What starts as a new social hub invariably ends with a shopping twist for the sheers profits delivered by a new loyal customer base.

The internet is still in its infancy and millions of people in the world are not using it yet. If you're interested in trends and massive growth, you want to know how the internet can drive you to millions of others - in a very viral way. Do you think the internet is already busy? It's like a toddler about to start growing!

E-Commerce Has to Be STICKY!
For an e-commerce or shopping website to succeed, it needs to be 'sticky'... people need to want to hang around on it and use it again and again, then send their friends to it. very successful e-commerce site to date has been very sticky because they had a unique twist or pulling feature, otherwise called a point of difference.

Amazon sold BOOKS, Google had a great SEARCH ENGINE,
eBay was THE AUCTION SITE...DubLi has the REVERSE AUCTION.
This is like an eBay auction turned on its head ... with a twist! The price starts at the lowest available on the internet for new, branded, in-the-box, inclusive-of-full-guarantee goods...then the price drops with every bid! You're joking aren't you?

Read it again...THE PRICE DROPS WITH EVERY BID ... until the itchy finger can't stand it any longer and somone buys the item at the lowest price they are prepared to wait for. Someone else can always snap it up in front of your eyes if you don't. It's a game of patience - if you can wait!

It's Catchy, Its Fun...
It's VERY ,VERY, STICKY!
