Update: Correction: A reader emailed Midcontinent Communications about my statement below that Midco is owned by Comcast. Midcontinent responded saying, “While we do have an affiliation with Comcast, we are not owned by them. Any decisions like the FCC is trying to impose on them would not be passed down to us as we are a separate entity. If we do make any changes like this would be announced to the public long before it is imposed.”


The FCC giving its permission to Comcast to buy NBC has been making headlines of late, but there are some rather surprising requirements the FCC tied to the deal. Such as this:


“Comcast will make available to approximately 2.5 million low income households: (i) high-speed Internet access service for less than $10 per month; (ii) personal computers, netbooks, or other computer equipment at a purchase price below $150″ and “we require Comcast-NBCU to increase programming diversity by expanding its over the-air programming to the Spanish language-speaking community, and by making NBCU’s Spanish-language broadcast programming available via Comcast’s on demand and online platforms.”


There’s more, the FCC also requires Comcast to increase “diversity” in video content:


As part of the merger, Comcast-NBCU will be required to take affirmative steps to foster competition in the video marketplace. In addition, Comcast-NBCU will increase local news coverage to viewers; expand children’s programming; enhance the diversity of programming available to Spanish-speaking viewers; offer broadband services to low-income Americans at reduced monthly prices; and provide high-speed broadband to schools, libraries and underserved communities, among other public benefits


Content providers make money by supplying content, or access to content, that people actually want. If content providers aren’t providing certain types of content that’s probably because that content can’t be provided at a profit. So what the FCC is requiring is a lot of unprofitable content decisions from Comcast, not to mention subsidized internet access and computers.


And who is going to pay for it all? You and I, in the form of higher prices (North Dakota citizens should be aware that Midcontinent Communications is owned by Comcast).


A lot of these were goals in the FCC granting itself net neutrality powers, and it appears as though the FCC is going to implement them like a bunch of gangsters by withholding their blessing for a merger unless their wishes are obeyed.

Internet business owners beware. There are a lot of bad ideas for making money online. In fact those just starting out should take care not to fall into these traps when it comes to making money online.

With all of the internet business scams and internet marketing sales hype afloat don't risk discouragement and failure due to poor advice and marketing pitfalls. Instead steer clear of the bad ideas and take note of the following:

Bad Idea #1 - Don't Build a Business Around Products that People Can Get for Free.

There are lots of products that people can get for free so selling those types of products online may prove to be less than fruitful.

For example, you may choose an ebook, guide or course to sell or promote online, but if others are giving it away for free or for less money you won't be making many sales.

Also, certain items like moving boxes or yearly calendars are both examples of items that people sometimes pay for but often get for free.

When thinking about products to sell or promote be sure to consider how profitable those products are by first determining if they are things people are, more often that not, willing to pay for.

Bad Idea #2 - Don't build your Business around Niche Products where there is No Demand.

In order to get the most out of your time and effort, spend some time performing keyword research. It will help you tremendously for knowing exactly what people actually look for online.

There is nothing more disheartening and frustrating than spending hours creating a product that produces little to no interest from the internet community. First find out what people look for online, and where they are spending their money.

Bad Idea #3 - Don't Create an eCommerce Website around Only One Product

To begin making money online and growing a successful ecommerce business it's important that you incorporate more than one product into your business plan. For example, what happens if people land on your website and aren't interested in your one and only bird feeder? On the other hand what if the product you are selling or promoting all of a sudden is no longer available or your supplier discontinues the item?

Provide your visitors with related choices and alternatives when selling items and goods. You will have a much better chance for making not only more sales but saving yourself from disaster.

Bad Idea #4 - Never Sell or promote products you have not personally used or know nothing about.

Part of building an online business is gaining the trust of your visitors. If you are starting out as an affiliate marketer promoting other people's products for example, it can be a big mistake to try and persuade others to buy a product or service that you personally know nothing about. Even though it's been done by many a marketer, the best approach is promote with honesty and personal experience.

The most successful marketers are those that build trust and generate visitor confidence. You can do this by promoting only products that either you create yourself or can endorse through personal use. This is also how you build trust and lasting relationships with your visitors which is ultimately the best strategy.

Building a well researched, legitimate online business is the best way for making money online, but it starts by taking the time to research your market, find quality products and build a relationship with your visitors. It just makes good business sense.
