Welcome to Grasp-the-Nettle.com! My name is David Hurley. I'm an Internet marketer and online article marketing expert based in Japan.
What are the two most frustrating problems facing Internet marketers today? What are the best Internet marketing strategies to overcome them and go on to build a successful online business?
Without doubt the biggest problems Internet marketers face are:
1. Lack of Targeted Traffic: Not enough of the right kind of people visiting your website - has got to be the most frustrating problem for most newbie Internet marketers. I explain some of the best Internet marketing strategies to increase targeted traffic in my Free Web Biz Tips Course elsewhere on this website.
2. Lack of Traffic Conversion: The second problem you have as an Internet marketer is that virtually all of your website visitors leave without buying anything or signing up to your mailing list. A zero conversion rate is a very common Internet marketing tragedy...
Making money on the Internet is simply a matter of (1) generating traffic, and (2) converting traffic.
Sadly, most people who set up an online business never get the Internet marketing training that is necessary if you are going to build targeted traffic, increase traffic conversion and make money on the Internet.
Sure, getting an Internet marketing coach costs money, but not as much as you might think. And as an investment in your future Interent business success it sure beats trying to figure things out for yourself.
The tragedy is that most newbie marketers either unwilling to invest in their business and get frustrated at their lack of steady progress towards online profitability.
Then there are those impulsive spenders who waste their money on stuff that doesn't work. They seldom stick with anything for long and jump from one Internet marketing program to another in search of the Next Big Winner.
(Hint: There's no such thing - your success in Internet marketing depends on YOU, your persistence, and your willingness to thoroughly learn and master what works... Yeah, it takes work and constant PASSIONATE effort...)
People lose money on the Internet because they are never prepared to invest the time and effort in learning how to build a stream of targeted traffic to their website and how to convert a high enough percentage of that traffic into subscribers and customers.
Yet, the truth is that Internet marketing isn't rocket science. Anybody can learn how to master traffic generation and conversion if they really want to. You could do it the hard way by trying everything for yourself, or you could make much faster and easier progress by getting expert help.
I have tried both methods and I can tell you that getting expert help will massively speed up your online business learning curve and get you into profit on the Internet much faster.
It's an inspiring, exciting and ultimately very profitable experience when you learn from expert Internet marketing trainers such as Ken Troyer and his Affiliate Power Group, or Janet Wilson, who created the affordable web training and resources business site, Empowerism.com.

Working From Home On The Internet As A Product Reseller Just Got Easier!
By David Hurley
14th August 2009
In the current climate of recession and job insecurity, more and more people are looking for ways to make money working from home on the Internet. Working from home on the Internet actually covers a broad range of business models supplying both products and services across a wide spectrum of market niches.
To anybody looking to sell products online, one broad choice is between selling physical products and digital products. This article is for people who are interested in selling physical products on the Internet because it is one of the easiest and best Internet business strategies for complete beginners to find success with. The reason why can be summed up in two words: "auction sites"!!
Everybody has heard of online auction sites such as eBay, and most people will either have some experience of buying or selling online auction already, or they will know somebody who has that experience.
Other sites such as the new garage sale site, TripleClicks.com are also becoming increasingly popular with people looking to sell their gear or buy stuff at bargain prices. Hundreds of thousands of people who have no prior business experience have found that they can make some money by selling their old stuff on one or other of these online auctions.
The next logical step is to sell more stuff and make more money. The problem however is with supply. Where exactly can you find a regular supply of good quality stuff that you can buy cheaply and sell at a reasonable price on the auctions and still make a nice profit on top?
The answer of course is to buy your products in bulk from wholesale suppliers and resell those products on your favourite auction sites at retail prices.
Unfortunately, it can be quite difficult to find genuine wholesalers. The obvious place to search for wholesale suppliers would be the Internet, but if you are not careful you are likely to end up dealing with a scam artist or an expensive middleman who charges you exorbitant fees merely to supply you with a list of unverified suppliers.
In short, finding a good supplier without the right advice can be like walking through a minefield. Just because a website is listed on page 1 of Google for your search does not mean that the business is legitimate.
However, there is one service out there that I can wholeheartedly recommend, and that is Chris Malta's WorldWideBrands.
WorldWideBrands is not an wholesaler or drop shipper, but a supplier research service. WorldWideBrands has a team of research experts who are constantly searching for honest, good quality suppliers. The suppliers have to meet the stringent list of requirements in order to get placed on one of the WorldWideBrands directories.
What this means for you, as budding Internet retailer, is an end to your product sourcing headaches, and a huge savings of time and money that you risk spending on fruitless searches that yields unreliable, or frankly dishonest dealers.
WorldWideBrands will also actively cooperate with you to help you find the most suitable supplier for your niche.
Not only that, but WorldWideBrands shows you how to sell products online, offers you the best methods and supplies you with top-quality market research. You will also have the security of a private community forum where you can go and consult experienced online sellers, or offer feedback as your own experience grows.
So, if you are seriously interested in starting and succeeding with an online auction business, check out the WorldWideBrands website for more information.
