Getting involved in the online business world is a relative simple process. Whether you just want to make some spare income or become the next Internet business mogul, you have to start somewhere. It is best to start with the basics and work your way up from there. The goal of this informative article is to allow you, the reader, to start an online business quickly.
Step One: Legalities
Depending on where you live in the world, you may need to obtain legal documentation such as a business license. It is best to consult a local attorney. However, not everyone can afford such an expense. If this is you, look for local small business groups. By calling around, you should be able to find out what will be required for you to legally do business on the Internet.
Step Two: Business Plan
Every successful business has a business plan. To many, this may see like a daunting task. It is well beyond the scope of this article to explain how to properly create a business plan. Software exists to help you with this task. Basically, a business plan helps you clearly define your goals, understand your competition and visualize what you must do to achieve your goals.
Spend some time thinking about what you wish to accomplish with your new business. The answer “make money” is not a valid one. What is the specific purpose of your new business?
Example: I want to start a business that will sell motherboards for computers.
Example Expanded: Initially the business will work to obtain wholesale pricing from motherboard manufacturers and retail them to the end user. The business will work to create our own brand of motherboard to retail and distribute to other computer parts outlets.
Example Long-term: The business will formulate a motherboard design, have it manufactured and distribute it to computer parts outlets. Additionally, the business will work to secure working relationships with computer manufacturers to have our motherboard built in.
As you can see from the above three examples, we have a working goal outline. If you do nothing else for this step, do what is in the above examples. So many people jump into business without a clear idea of what they wish to accomplish. The end result is failure.
Step Three: Familiarity
This next step involves you becoming extremely familiar with the industry you wish to do business in. The more educated you are, the higher your chance for success is. You should know as many competitors as possible, especially the big ones. Seeking out trade publications and informational resources is an absolute must.
The first step here is to create a new bookmarks folder in your browser. Call it whatever you wish, but remember to keep your bookmarks extremely organized. Next, it is time to sit back with your favorite non-alcoholic beverage and go website cruising.
The first website you will want to visit is the search engine of your choice. I go to Google.com myself, but this is up to you. You are going to type in many search queries and visiting many websites. If you are familiar with tabbed browsing, this task will be much more orderly. Below I will show you some common search queries I would do for a new copywriting business.
• Copywriting
• Copywriting forum
• Copywriting newsgroup
• Copywriting board
• Copywriters association
• Copywriters trade publication
• Trade publications writing
• Writers
• Writers forum
• Writers board
• Writers association
• Copywriting books
• Copywriting sites
I hope you get the idea. I am basically looking for my competitors and informational sources where I can eventually learn and advertise. If your industry has specific product names, search for those as well.
This is an ongoing process. You want to try and learn as much as possible in the beginning, but you certainly won’t find everything. As you progress in your business, take note of the websites you run across. In my bookmarks, I have a folder called “Check Later” that has a listing of websites that might be beneficial, but I have not had the time to review yet.
This concludes part one of “How to Start an Online Business”. This first part is crucial. Those who ignore it are almost certainly destined to fail. Great things take time and to rush is foolish. If you wish to read the rest of this guide, visit my website at JasonAMartin.com. You can also find other helpful articles there on a variety of topics such as marketing and writing.
Starting off a fresh online business may seem intimidating at times, especially to the greenhorns in the field of Internet. However, with a planned approach and diligent effort, the procedure may well boil down to a much easier chore. Here I present the first in a series of articles that will assist you to establish a strong online presence. Unequivocally, there are four ways that you could commence your online business, and they are as follows:-
a) Start from scratch – You can formulate your own product or service to sell. You might be enticed to follow other eminent businesses and develop a similar product to theirs. However, nothing sells better than a novel concept. So, try carrying out a preliminary market research in order to feel the pulse of the market. This would enable you to establish a healthy customer base, which is critical to boosting your online business.
b) Start away with affiliate marketing – If you are on a shoestring budget and cannot develop your own product from scratch, then affiliate marketing is a viable option for you. You can market the products of a well-renowned company through affiliate programs. The company would typically dole out commissions on each sale accomplished by you.
c) Start an online business by reselling – You can buy hot selling products at wholesale prices from a well established organization. Then onwards you can sell them at retail by promoting them at your website.
d) Start an online venture via direct sales – You may become an affiliate of a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) company. You can market their products and earn commission on sales accomplished by you. Affiliates signup through an existing member, who is typically placed above them in the distributor hierarchy. That is, the sponsor earns higher commission than a fresh entrant.
An online business can be quite lucrative if planned with discretion. In general, astute investments do pay heavy returns. It is imperative that you realize the importance of choosing a viable online business. The choice of an online business should be made, bearing in mind the resources in hand and the existing business milieu.
Many people are of the opinion that you need to have a website built, that is full of products to sell in order to make money when starting your Internet home business. But that is not the case, you can actually start your Internet home business without a website, but it’s always a better idea to have your own website if you are looking to earn residual income into the unforeseeable future and that is exactly what I’ll teach you today.
Internet home businesses can take many forms, from selling other peoples products on your own website or on their custom built website, selling other peoples products by promoting or advertising their products and sending people to their website to purchase these products or selling products on your own website, which also involves selling on a website, but which is pre-built for you to customise and call your own. There are so many of such websites available these days, the problem though, is finding the right one which can make you money and from which you can earn residual income over a long period of time, as this is what having an internet home business is all about.
Affiliate programs are a great way to start off without a website, you sign up as a reseller to promote a product or service through your unique affiliate link assigned to you by the affiliate program, and you earn money by sending customers to this unique affiliate link. A good way to do this, is to get a domain name that redirects to your affiliate link, it makes you look professional, as affiliate links are most of the time too long and can easily make potential customers suspicious. A domain name is your own unique presence on the Internet like google.com or yahoo.com. For $3.99 you can get a domain name at http://www.LyecryNet.com, you don’t have to use this if you’ll get a cheaper alternative, I have used them for a very long time and that’s why I recommend them, and unlike most other companies, they’ll allow you to redirect your domain name to your affiliate link for free.
Paid surveys are also another way to make money online without a website, you get paid by various companies to take a survey of your opinions about an idea, products or services that are about to be released or existing products or services that need to be improved. You’ve got to do a little research on the company you are dealing with, as paid surveys are subject to frauds and scams these days with various individuals and companies signing you up to take surveys and promising to pay you large sums of money, but never do.
Like any other business, your Internet home business should last you into the unforeseeable future. To be able to do this, you need to build a website or have it built if you don’t have the technical know how. Ready-made Internet home business websites are the best alternative to having your own website if you can’t afford to have one built or don’t have the necessary skills to do this yourself. They are cheap and the very good ones come pre-configured with different streams of automated residual income.
The increase in ready made websites has escalated over the years, and it is really difficult finding one that does exactly as it says, that is, make you money. I have had many of my newsletter subscribers, email me wanting to know if these ready made websites are any good, and the fact that having so many of the same kind of websites around, would put potential customers off, buying from you.
Well that is not the case, it is like saying you would not buy from KFC or McDonalds because there are so many of them around. These are established brand names that have proved themselves over and over again, over the past couple of years. And it is exactly the same scenario when it comes to ready made internet home business websites, there are a few that has been around for a while and have proven track record for success. One such website can be found at http://www.coollittlewebsite.biz, this comes pre-configured to earn you money in 3 different ways, using google adsense, clickbank and eBay. What’s even good about this is, it’s hosted for you, and so you don’t have to pay any hosting fees.
Another of such websites that can earn you residual income over and over again and it’s a very good way to start your Internet home business is at http://www.cbmallincome.net, Visit this site and learn about the 15 different ways this website can make you money. I know people who are making thousands of dollars a month using this website. So go on, and get your Internet home business to a great start.
But if like me, you want to have your very own professional presence on the internet, and help teach others how to make money online, then the Plug-InProfitSite which is described in detail at http://www.PlugInProfitsSite.net, is one I highly recommend. This website, which is set up in 24 hours, yes you heard me right, in 24 hours, earns you 5 streams of automated residual income. Not only that, but it also comes with a 30 day training guide on how to make the most of your website plus life time support. So you really have no excuse for not starting your Internet home business on time.
Many people starting an Internet home business fail because they went with the wrong choice, but you won’t, if you follow what you have just read. Remember though, it’s essential that you treat your Internet home business like a business, because that is what it is. Be dedicated to it and be prepared to work hard. That is the only way you can gain personal and financial freedom and achieve your dreams of being your own boss and working from home.
I have had my own internet business for over 8 years now, and I get many women asking how I do it, being a full time Mom to 5 kids and three stepkids, besides! There are some tricks to the trade, so if you are thinking about starting your own business, but have held back because your Mom job comes first, have hope. There are ways you can do it all, and everybody benefits!
Tip #1 First, I have to admit, I am a fan of Dr. Phil. You may have heard one of his catchphrases…”If Mom ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!” There is a good measure of truth to this statement. Let’s face it, most stay at home parents are still Moms. And lets face this too…if you are a stay at home Mom, YOU are the heart of your home. So if you are feeling like you deserve more for yourself…well, you do. EVERY stay at home Mom deserves top have something of her own, that helps identify her as a person separate from the squabbles and the dirty socks. And if you don’t have something of your own, chances are, you resent it. And if you don’t,.you probably will. So starting a business of your own is a good step towards creating that autonomy that we all need as humans. (Yes, you are still human, even at the 3 am feedings!) Everyone benefits from Mom expanding her world and her life…both emotionally and financially. So tip #1? Let go of the guilt and the martyrdom…start something for yourself!
Tip #2 If the whole idea of starting your own business overwhelms you because you already have a sink full of two days worth of dishes and haven’t slept in 2 years…never fear. You just need a plan. Learn to organize your time, delegate tasks, and eliminate the unnecessary. There are many websites dedicated to helping you find your path, and getting you into a place where you suddenly find all that lost time! Try www.organizedhome.com and www.flylady.net to get you started.
Tip #3 Lastly, you need to learn to believe in yourself, and take your own path. You don’t have to be running a Fortune 500 company in order to be successful. You can work an online business part time until the children are all in school, and adjust your time at the job to how much money you need to make, and how much time you have. Women are the fastest growing group of business owners, and the day has come for you to believe you can have what you want in this life, without sacrificing your family to do it. You were put here for a reason…and while your children may be your primary purpose, realize that you also have a tremendous ability to touch others lives as well. Now find out how you are going to do that, and make a way for yourself!
The vast majority of web sites are destined to fail before they are even built. Why? Because people building sites almost always put the cart before the horse. Actually, most don’t even include the horse.
Evolution of Your Site
New sites follow a typical evolutionary process.
1. The first stage involves slaving over the design of the site to get just the right look;
2. The second stage is the publication of the site;
3. Third comes the first thought about how to get traffic to the site;
4. Fourth, the discovery of pay-per-click options;
5. Fifth, the pursuit of PPC campaigns and realization of sales!;
6. Sixth, the “misery stage”, occurs with the realization that sales are being made at a loss!;
7. Frustration, frustration, frustration;
8. The “extinction stage” – With profitability seeming impossible, the PPC campaigns are closed and the site just sits there.
Does any of this sound familiar? You need not suffer this evolutionary extinction! Taking one step before you build a site can save you a lot of wasted time and money.
If You Build It, Will They Come?
The first step to developing a successful web site is keyword analysis. Keywords are the anchors of each page of your site, a collective summary of your products and services.
The first step to developing an online business is to identify whether there is sufficient traffic for your business product or service. Let’s look at a very simple example.
If your are selling boating products, each page of your site should incorporate boating-related keyword phrases. You must analyze whether there is a sufficient number of searches each month to make your boating site a viable entity. A free method for doing this is to use the Overture inventory tool:
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
In our example, we would do a search for “boating” to see how many searches there are for the keyword as well as other boating-related keyword phrases. A quick search shows there were over 100,000 searches for “boating” and over 4,000 searches for “boating supply” in March 2005. These numbers suggest that there clearly is enough traffic to build a site selling boating products.
Alternatively, assume that we want to build a site promoting our hiking guide service in Nevada. If we do a search for “Nevada hiking” using the Overture inventory tool, we find that there are only 100 or so searches a month. Should we go ahead and build the site? Probably not. There simply isn’t enough interest to justify spending the time and money.
Unfortunately, we often talk with site owners that have spent significant amounts of money building a site only to find that there is little interest in their product or service. By performing keyword analysis, you can determine whether a site should be built before you spend the time, energy and money on it. There is little reason to build a site that has no chance of success.
The fourth step of how to start an Internet business involves the layout of your site. When organizing it, two audiences must be considered. Obviously, visitors to the site are the first audience. You must also keep in mind the second audience, search engine robots. Both audiences are extremely important and, fortunately, both want the same thing.
Lean, Mean Layout
Your site needs to be clean and quick if you want to be successful. Slow, cluttered sites inevitably fail because visitors and spiders get distracted and leave before taking the action you want. Let’s take a closer look.
Visitors
The layout of your site should allow visitors to quickly find information and solutions. To achieve this, every page should be no more than two clicks from the home page. Have you ever been on a site where you have to hunt to find a particular page? Poor layouts are aggravating and hurt conversion rates.
Make things as easy as possible by interlinking between the site pages. Every page should have links to primary pages and as many other pages as possible. If you look at good site, links to primary pages are listed across the top and bottom of each page. Links to specific services or products are always listed on each page. It may sound like overkill, but make it as easy as possible for your clients to move around.
Spiders
Search engines use programs called “spiders” to surf the net and index sites. When a spider finds a page, it reads the code from top to bottom and left to right. If the code is clean, the spider will index the page and follow the links to the other pages of the site.
If the code isn’t clean, spiders stop indexing pages. If pages aren’t indexed, they do not appear in search engine results. What stops spiders? Following are the most common problems:
1. Bottlenecks – Make sure each page of your site links to every primary page at a minimum. You do not want a spider to get stuck on a page and miss others.
2. Dynamic Pages – Your pages need to be static or carefully designed. If dynamic, spiders often will not index them because they aren’t sure of the content.
3. Frames – Don’t use this antiquated design technique.
4. Poor URLs – A huge mistake is to put database parameters in the URL. The URL should contain only the domain name and keywords for the page. A good URL reads: http://www.marketingtitan.com/internet_marketing_services. A poor URL with parameters would read: http://www.marketingtitan.com/id#us57486&095783
5. Images – Don’t overuse images and don’t put text in images. Images slow down your site, so make them small and optimized. Robots do not read text inside of images, thus text needs to go outside of the images or ALT tags need to be used.
Evaluating The Layout
Once the site is designed, TEST IT! Surf the pages and see if you are able to flow through the site. Add internal links wherever possible. Finally, test the load times of your site on a 56k dial-up modem. If the site loads in under 20 seconds, you are headed in the correct direction.
Your site layout is important. Make sure it caters to the needs of the visitors, whether human or spider.
Okay, you have a domain name, layout and content. Now we get to a step that will go a long way to determining how the site will rank. Yes, we are going to focus on two infamous topics, meta tags and keyword density.
Meta Tags
Meta tags are html code blocks that “tell” a search engine what is on a particular site page. Meta tags are not visible on the pages of your site, but search engine robots focus on them. Three different meta tags should appear on each page of your site.
The meta title essentially acts as the title of the page. When you do a search on Google, the meta title is the first underlined text in each listing. The content of the meta title should include the keywords you want to push with the most important being listed first. Each word should be included no more than 2 times and the total word count should not exceed 13 words.
The meta description tag allows for an expansion of the meta title. Use short sentences to emphasize the who, what, why and where of your business. Make absolute sure that every keyword in your title also appears in your description.
One of the aggravating things about search engines is how they use meta descriptions. Most pick only certain sections of your description. When your link appears in the search results, the description may make little if any sense. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do about it.
Historically, meta keywords were a very important factor in the ranking process. How times have changed. Google doesn’t even look at them, while MSN and Yahoo give them marginal value. You should still use them, if for no other reason then forcing you to focus on your keyword phrases when creating content.
Keyword Density
Keyword density simply refers to how often keywords appear in a page as a percentage of the total text. A few years back, it was common practice to cram and hide keywords all over a page. You probably remember seeing pages with thousands of keywords listed at the very bottom. This no longer works and is considered spamming by search engines.
Much like the meaning of life, the best keyword density percentage is a hotly debated topic. Theories and opinions ranged from 1.5 to as high as 20 percent. We recently ran a test with a page that only had a keyword phrase on it, thus representing a 100% keyword density. The only search engine that reacted was Yahoo, which listed it at number 1 for 25 days before dropping it. Notwithstanding this test, the simple fact is that nobody really knows the optimal density, except for programmers at the search engines. Rumor has it that they are permanently locked away in the Himalayas, so there isn’t much hope of getting any information from them.
Our experience is keyword density really doesn’t matter if you have flowing text on the page. The point of your site is to sell, so write copy that accomplishes that goal. Once you have completed the copy, modify it to make sure the important keywords appear at least once in the first paragraph. Do not force the keywords into sentences; just make sure they appear at least once. We have clients with number 1 rankings on Google, Yahoo and MSN that have keyword densities ranging from .5 to 18.5 percent. Yes, these rankings are on keywords with lots of competition and traffic.
The first step to starting any Internet business is conducting keyword research to determine if there is any interest in your idea. Once you identify a need, it’s time to consider what your site should look like.
What Is The Goal?
In considering the look of your site, you first need to determine what elements are needed to promote your service or product. There are endless books, forums and people with adamant opinions on the subject. Some opine a site should be all about linking, while others opine creating a community through message boards is the key. A third set righteously point out a site should be slick or cool, while a fourth group will argue just the opposite. So, who is right and who is wrong? The answer is…all of them.
When developing a site, the goal is actually very simple. Your site should be useful. That’s it, the big secret. The problem, of course, is “useful” means different things for different sites.
A site that provides a service to businesses, such as consulting, should focus on content and linking. A site that promotes something related to entertainment should have an element of cool and have message boards to discuss rumors, etc. A site that sells products should focus on linking and loading quickly, i.e., a simple, clean design. The point is that each site is unique and there is no universal answer. Whatever the particular direction of your site, simply make sure it is useful to your users.
Site Examples
Let’s use Google as our example. What does Google do? It gives users the ability to search and find relevant information. So, should the home page of Google look “cool”? Should it have a lot of content on how to conduct searches? Should it have forums to create a sense of community? No, the home page would be most useful if it simply let you search without bombarding you with a lot of clutter. Indeed, the Google home page is just that.
What about a product site? Let’s use Nomad Journals – http://www.nomadjournals.com – as our example. The site sells writing journals for outdoor activities such as hiking, travel, rock climbing, etc. The site is simple, clean and loads fairly quickly. Unlike Google, the site immediately needs to convey an outdoor impression to visitors. This is accomplished with three outdoor images, a graphic of a “nomad” and images of the journals. The text is keyword dense, but compact and to the point. The page conveys the nature of the product and the “vibe” of the business.
On the other end of the spectrum, consider an entertainment site such as American Idol – http://www.idolonfox.com. The site is slick, offers polls and has community message boards where fans can post messages about the competition. This is a very good layout for this site, but would be horrible for Google or Nomad Journals.
Don’t Rush
From the above examples, you can see that there is no universally correct design for a site. Before charging off to build a site, spend at few days considering what it should look like and WHY. Visit sites that you use frequently. Why do you keep going back? What annoys you about other sites? How do these factors translate to your site?
When it comes to e-commerce, the time-tested cliché is, “Content is king.” In this case, the cliché is correct.
Content
For the purpose of this article, content is defined as pages of text on your site. Content is often broken down into two categories, primary pages and information pages. Primary pages are the core of a site, to wit, the home, FAQ, site map, about us, contact us and service or product pages. Information pages are additional pages that support the primary pages, explain your service or product and answer questions. Primary pages convert visitors while information pages generate traffic.
Primary Pages
Preparing content for your primary pages must be done carefully. You should have a list of keywords you want to highlight for each page. Using these keywords, content should be written clearly and concisely. Do not sacrifice the flow of your text in an effort to maximize the placement of keywords. While this common mistake can lead to quicker search engine rankings, it can damage your conversion rates and give visitors the wrong impression of your business. Traffic is useless if it can’t be converted to money. Focus on converting the visitor into a customer.
Information Pages
Information pages serve a number of functions. First, they explain and support your primary pages. Second, they build credibility by providing evidence of your extensive knowledge and expertise. Unlike primary pages, information pages can be written with more of an eye to keyword manipulation.
Information pages also form a critical platform for promoting your site. The pages should be written in such a way as to be easily converted into articles. The articles should be submitted to directories for publication with a byline including a link to your site. As the articles are published, the byline will dramatically increase the link count of your site. The higher the number of links to your site, the higher you move in the rankings.
Information Page Subjects
If information pages are so important, how do you come up with topics? There are three methods.
The first step is to review your product or service. Pages should be created providing explanations for the most simple to complex elements of whatever you are promoting. Make sure to cover basic items. For a real estate agent site, topics should include 1) how to buy a house, 2) how the process works from beginning to end; 3) how escrow works and so forth. Never assume your prospect understands some element of your product or service. Once these pages are created, the site should be significantly bigger and, thus, more attractive to search engines.
The next step is to review the results of the keyword research conducted when you decided to build a site. Looking down the list of keywords, focus on keywords with less than 1,000 searches a month. Every one of these keywords is a potential topic. Because there are few monthly searches, competition for rankings under each keyword phrase is probably low. As you site gains links, the various information pages will move up into top rankings. If you have 50 information pages each producing 100 clicks a month, they will produce 5,000 free clicks a month. Assume a conversion rate of 1/100 and you have 50 sales. As more pages are added, the figures will continue to rise.
Finally, forums are an excellent place to find topics. Forums are sites where people gather to discuss issues related to a particular subject. The discussions typically start when someone posts a question. Each question is a potential topic for a page on your site. Make sure to focus on posts with lots of replies, as the number of replies reflects the amount of interest in the topic. To find relevant forums, simply search for “forum + subject” on any search engine.
A simple question and yet most people who wanted to start an Internet Business does not have a clue on what to do.
They simply jump into the bandwagon who promised them goldmine in less than 2 or 3 weeks. Or better yet, some even promise you can earn 6 figure incomes in less than 3 days. If this is true, why most people around the world wasting their time and energy working at the office? Will not it be better for us just to stay at home if we can make that kind of income in short period of time?
Yes, it is true that the percentage of people who joined the Internet Business increase day by day. Surprisingly, people who do not make a single cent and broke also keeps on increasing.
There must be something wrong somewhere. So how to start an Internet Business the right way? Listed below two frequently asked questions that most Internet newbies should be aware of.
1) Do I need a lot of money to start my Internet Business?
Yes and no. You do need a little bit of your money to pay for your web hosting account if you have decided to have your own website. You can get a web hosting account around $10 to $50 that you need to pay monthly. Please bare in mind that an expensive hosting account does not mean you are going to get a better account. So you have to make sure you choose an affordable and good service account.
Another thing that you need to pay for is your own domain name. You can get a domain name for less than $10 and the best thing is you only need to pay it on yearly basis.
You don’t need to do all the above if you join an affiliate program. Affiliate program is a business program where the only thing you need to do is marketing and advertising your business. You will be given a commission for each sale that you make. All the setup, follow up with your customers and payment will be arrange by the owner of the affiliate business.
Remember the question, how to start an internet business the right way? Here is the answer.
If you decided to have your own website, make sure you already have a prospect for whatever business you are doing. The first step that you need to do is to find the most searchable keywords for the past month. There are several free services and tools that you can use to find that targeted keyword.
You need to do the exact same thing if you decided to join an affiliate program. Make sure the program have a highly targeted keyword. Don’t simply join the program just because they pay you with high commission. Ask around and study the history of the program. If you don’t have any friends, try joining a forum discussion board. There are a lot of quality forums out there. Ask the questions about the affiliate program, you can be 100% sure that people will give their opinion and help you anyway they can.
2) Do I need to promote my business? Once my website has been setup, I just need to watch and wait for the money to roll into my bank account, right?
You are dead wrong. This is where most newbies only last 1 to 2 months in this business because they are not doing any marketing work. Please put this in your mind, nobody is going to give you a free money without putting some effort to it.
There are many ways to promote your website and there will no spaces to write on this article. But as a beginner, you might try buying Solo Ads from any ezine publishers that related to your business. Not just any publisher, you have to do some research on the popularity of the publisher.

They simply refer potential customers of your product to your sales letter using a special link unique to them, called affiliate link or ID.
In other words, they do the pre-selling and your sales letter does the selling to the prospects. This will save your time and money trying to get your own customers.
One method that will surely get you a targeted prospect is writing articles. If you love to write, try to write articles having to do with the product you are selling. In your articles, you give free and useful information to people who are searching for it.
