Q.. Why would ITL give away these "secrets?"

A.. We are not giving away any secrets! We are offering you the benefit of our experience gained in the Internet business since 1996. You can find out the same, it will simply take you a number of years to learn them for yourself. During this time we have tried many, many different techniques ideas to increase our business, if you have the time you could do the same. Alternatively, you could benefit from our experience and save yourself years of development.

Q.. Surely ITL could use this information to "dominate" the Internet.

A.. We do not have the time to exploit every marketplace in every country in the world! There are many thousands of opportunities waiting to be exploited, but we would need "hundreds of years" to exploit them all ourselves.

Q.. How do I know that the information given has relevance, or indeed has value.

A.. We have been in the Internet business since 1996. We are a profitable company with no borrowings or funding from any source. If we can achieve this, then you could as well within your given marketplace/country, see our sites:

www.numberone4property.co.uk etc.

Q.. There are many others on the Internet offering similiar advice, how do ITL differ?

A.. Indeed there are many that claim to offer similar advice, but how many have actually "gone through the mill" as we have and continue to do so?

We are not consultants, but are the operators of successful legitimate on-line businesses.

Q.. ITL are based in the UK and your sites are aimed at the UK market, what relevancy has your information to say the market in China?

A.. The information given to our subscribers can be applied to any market in any country in the world. Yes, we would agree that there are market/local differences, but the basic rules are the same with the Internet worldwide.

Q.. I already have a web site and am generating business through it. Why then, should I subscribe to your service?

A.. We do not claim to know everything about Internet! Maybe you have overlooked a point(s), that may well increase your business!

Q.. I am not technically minded, how would your service help me to further my ambitions to build a successful on-line business?

A.. There are many tools/software that can allow novices to build the actual web sites themselves. However, whether simple or complicated web sites still need basic marketing principles to be applied.

Q.. What value does your newsletter have?

A.. The Internet is continuing to evolve, so as time goes by new techniques will be introduced. We are happy to share these new ideas with our subscribers.

We are members of many. many newsletters - most based in the US. We are made aware of new US ideas long before many others. These ideas cannot be copyrighted, so we are happy to pass these onto our subscribers.

Q.. Will my competitors also have access to this information?

A.. Quite possibly, but your success will depend on your also knowing the same information. Probably more importantly is how you apply our experience to your own marketplace/business.

No doubt we live in the information age, and knowing the right information is crucial! But throughout history the technology of business has changed dramatically, but the "art" of gaining business success remains the same!

Q.. Besides the information provided by your service, what else will I need to create a successful Internet business?

A.. Tenacity, hard work, application and a degree of luck!

Q.. Can everyone in the world have a successful Internet based business?

A.. No, as not everyone could have a successful shop! There will be many without doubt, and the degree of success will differ. We cannot guarantee you success, but we can offer good, honest pointers that have helped us to attain more than a fair amount of success!

Q.. If I follow the points in your service will I too create a successful web site/business?

A.. We can offer you a great starting point and save a great deal of your precious time. Without doubt your chances of success will greatly increase by applying our experiences to your business.

Q.. In my chosen marketplace/country there are already many established web sites/businesses, why should I too try?

A.. Any business/web site can be improved upon! In off line business, new entrants are always being created/established. Some survive and prosper, some fail. The internet is no different, if you are passionate about what you propose "just do it!"

Q.. I have little in the way of capital (money) to start an on-line business, maybe I should not attempt my own on-line business?

A.. The beauty of the Internet is that it enables entrepreneurs to start a business small, maybe part time from home. If the business is a success, then controlled expansion can be implemented as is deemed appropriate.

Q.. Very few people currently buy online?

A.. Indeed currently the numbers are low relative to off-line business. However the rate of increase is dramatic, and we see no reason for this to slow in the coming years.

Q.. Fraud is endemic over the Internet.

A.. Untrue. Purchasers are protected in many countries by their credit card company's refund policies. New technology is imminent to reduce even further the negligible amount of fraud committed. All off-line businesses also suffer from losses, the key is as always to reduce this to a minimum.

Q.. I want a "get rich quick scheme" can this be done using your service?

A.. If you chose a market/web site that allows you to become rich quickly, we would like to know about it! This has so far eluded us, but we live in hope! The overwhelming great businesses take time and effort to build up, we see no reason why the Internet would differ.

Q.. My "friend" claims to make loads of money with no effort, will I be able to do the same?

A.. Your friend's claims may well be true - we cannot possibly comment. We are unaware of any methods of generating wealth with some/a lot of effort on the part of those involved.

Q.. Why did ITL become involved in the Internet business?
