Information for a foreigner begginer

[utsa2004]

I decided starting my PIP business two weeks ago, and I have some questions.
1.Can I translate my PIP website into another language? Is this a good strategy to generate more traffic, and how I can do it?
2.What's the best way to accept payments overseas? Some american companies in the PIP program just accepts sending checking which is very commission expensive at least in Mexico. Any suggestion??
3.Is it normal not having any person signed through two weeks. I have followed at least 12 strategies suggested by Stone?

I appreciate your suggestions.

Hi Oscar.

1. Yes you can translate the site but then you would also need to translate the training and the newsletters. This would be very labor intensive. We have members from all over the world, but it may be that people who do not understand English would have a difficult time understanding.

Since this is the internet, the world-wide-web, try not to think in terms of being limited to any small country - but the whole world is your market.

2. You should log in to each program and see the options that the company provides for paying commissions. In most cases it is paid by check in the mail in US dollars. Some have online options.

What some in Europe do is to add up the checks until several are received and then deposit them as one. In this way they save the conversion fees that would be more if applied to individual checks.

3. Yes i is very normal not to have results in two weeks. You have to give things a chance to work - in marketing, you have to build and sustain momentum by taking consistent, aggressive action.

There are free techniques that should be employed no matter what paid advertising you may use. So when we say blogging, submitting articles and forum posting to generate backlinks from your signature, we do not mean one time or for two weeks, but at least every week for however long it takes OVER TIME.

Keep in mind you are building a new business, and all new businesses take time and lots of effort.

Focus on taking the actions you need to take to produce results, and not on results that it is too soon to see yet!

Keep up the good work.

Hi Oscar,

If you setup your site using wordpress, the easiest way is to use the plugin which will automatically translate your pages into multiples languages for you. Although I find the ranslation not 100% accurate, but it did generate traffic for me..so it works..

Hi Oscar,
As Pat said, it will be hard for people who don't understand English.
You may translate the site and emails but what will happen after that, when they want to join you and the other programs are in English?

Hi Oscar,
As Pat and Tany have said, focus on global market and don't limit yourself to your geographical area.English is spoken world wide. I have some subscribers who do not understand English. Some of them ask me questions in their national languages, I have set up a program that translates from some of other languages to English and vis versa.
You can handle a handful locally other wise it will take up your time and energy.

Good luck!

I think it is better to give choices of the language in your website. I saw some website have options for the website with different version of languages. You should have a try. I do not know how to do it but some people here may know.
