Online Marketing – 7 Myths to Avoid When Setting Up Your Online Business

May 24, 2022 Comments Off

The number of online businesses has skyrocketed over the last couple of decades. Many people left and right are starting their own business online and trying to making money from their computers. Just because you want to start your own business online does not mean you are going to be successful. Owning any kind of business needs a determined and hard working mindset to to be successful. To make sure you are working in a positive direction, let’s discuss 7 myths about internet marketing — those those beliefs or ideas we must all avoid when setting up our online business. Whether you’ve been working at your business for a while or are just starting out, clarifying these 7 myths will give you a great headstart toward a profitable online business.
Myth 1 – Having a single brilliant idea will make you rich. False — you may come across the best new idea in the world but that does not guarantee you will make money. Many of the most popular and most successful businesses did not start off with one single brilliant idea that launched the business right into being successful. A single idea needs to grow over time; a single brilliant idea has to grow into something bigger to create success. And other ideas will come after that idea expands to its potential.
Myth 2 – If I build an online business, people will come. In the past, some businesses placed a product on the internet and instantly faced some success. But that’s not the norm. You can’t just assume that once you start your online business, you will generate income. Much of your success depends on your marketing — a very essential factor to create big sales. If people don’t know about your business, you will have no customers.
Myth 3 – If you don’t protect your idea, someone will steal it. In reality no one really cares about your idea unless it blows up to be very successful. Other marketers may watch your success grow, but to be successful themselves, they must create their own unique product.
Myth 4 – If you like your product, so will the rest of the world. But in reality what your customers think is much more important than what you and your friends think. If your potential customers don’t like or want your product, it’s time to move on to something else.
Myth 5 – Financial or business models will not help you build a successful business. In fact, if you can find someone who created and successfully marketed a profitable product, you can copy their model to build your own success. A business model will help you plan your strategies and also how much and where you might market your product successfully.
Myth 6 – What you know matters way more than who you know. The people you know and trust can be the key to growing a successful business. They can help you design your product, create your marketing plan, and guide and support you through the process.
Myth 7 – If my product has no competition, I will make lots of money. Again false — If there’s no one out there selling a product like yours, it probably means the market for that product doesn’t exist. Market research before you begin to create the product is probably the most important preliminary step to a successful business. So you must make sure that there are customers out there looking to buy your product.…

One Question Everyone Should Ask

May 19, 2022 Comments Off

The Question: What does an entrepreneur need to become successful? The one thing needed for an entrepreneur is undying faith that they will succeed and triumph over any obstacle. Anyone can become an entrepreneur that is willing to take inherent risk to change their lives.

The Business Plan: What is a business plan and how can it help me become an entrepreneur? Any Business has a written plan of attack that should include the following steps.

Company description (Legal, History, Start up Plans etc).

Products & Services.

Market Analysis.

Strategy & Implementation.

Web Plan Summary.

Financial Analysis.

Once you have written your detailed plan then organize it into the format that is easy for you to implement. Plan your attack then attack your plan every day until those small success’s starts compounding until you have achieved your financial goals. The business plan can change as you grow and should never stay the same because what got you to this point will not get you there. Keep digging deep down inside and pressing forward to improve your process every day.

The Leap Of Faith: With any business idea, venture and new job comes with a leap of faith to make a life change. I read sometime back a brilliant and successful millionaire state (Robert Kiyosaki )”that everyone has brilliant ideas that are never followed up on.” How many times in your life have you thought of a new invention or had an idea. Then several years later someone invented the exact same thing and sold the idea for a pretty penny. Well, I think that happens to every one at some point and we could have sold the same idea, but just did not take that leap of faith. Being an entrepreneur is taking those brilliant ideas and capitalizing on that idea for a profitable venture. Starting a business, working from home, or becoming an online business owner is the true nature of an entrepreneur taking action today not tomorrow. If you are looking for something better in life then jump out with faith and become that person you want to be. The Vehicle: The vehicle that you choose to become and entrepreneur is up to you and only you. Choosing the right platform or business to start is completely up to the person. If you have wanted to start a restaurant, then take action today. Start by finding out the details of cost and how much capital you will need to start. If you want to be an online entrepreneur then begin by searching what products, skills or business that interest you and find someone that is successful in that field. Speak to that person and find out how they achieved success. Learn from those that have done what you seek and duplicate it, or if it has not been done then do it. Plan out your business and then take action every day to accomplish your goals. The vehicle that you choose should fit your needs and goals for you to be successful. I chose a marketing and training platform that gives me:

Platform for any product line.

Contact with successful people from my field.

Easy to follow process.

Automation & Tools.

Support staff and Business Coaches.

That is just a few tools in my back office and allows me the opportunity to take my business ideas into reality. Choosing a business model is based on your business plan and how you want to implement your plan.

The Risk: Everyone in their life takes risk and learned valuable lessons from those risk. I personally have taken risk and will continue to take that leap of faith because the end result will always change. Think back in school at what are parents tell us at an early age. Be careful, watch out now, don’t do that because you will get hurt. This type of directions sometimes stifles the very entrepreneur in each one of us. During our early years we see everything as possible until we give in to fear. We as human beings learn are whole life from our mistakes and the difference between being successful and failure is almost the same thing. Even if you fail at any business venture or job you will always take away valuable experience that will help you with your next step. Really, life is about making choices and lets face it we all make poor choices through out life. Even millionaires have stated “they took away valuable information from failure, which made it possible for success later in life.” So, when you think back on your life and see a failure, I see an experience that has taught you what not to do. Failure is really a small victory and should be examine so you make improvements on your process to achieve …

Small Scale Business Ideas – Starting Your Own Internet Business

May 14, 2022 Comments Off

Did you know that starting your own internet business, instead of an offline business, is one of the best small scale business ideas that you can explore?
Less costly to start up than a traditional offline business – often thousands of dollars less – an internet business can start small and blossom into a 6 or 7 figure a year venture. How successful it will be depends on many factors, including the skills and resources you acquire, how well you apply up-to-date strategies and tactics, and how much and how fast you can outsource.
The first step is to learn the basics of how to set up an internet business, including how to do market research, set up a simple website with quality content and drive traffic to the site to (hopefully) generate sales.
Unfortunately, there are too many tales of people who spend thousands of dollars on training and ‘how to make money online’ products with little or no results to show in their bank account. Therefore, the most important thing you can do to avoid this trap is to find a reputable teacher who teaches the basics in a clear, step-by-step fashion, and ideally also offers advanced training.
There is a lot of valuable free information about how to start an online business. But it will take you weeks, or months or even years to collect everything you need to know for free. It’s also important to get feedback about what you’re doing right and wrong. So do your due diligence to find someone who seems trustworthy and is definitely a success online to learn from.
Easier said than done? Ask around, on blogs and online forums, to narrow down your choices. Contact the marketers who offer courses to see how they respond to you before you put any money down. Are they receptive and prompt about answering your questions? Can you find positive reviews by other people about what they offer? Can you contact the reviewers to ask more questions and feel sure that you are being given answers that aren’t motivated by commissions they get if you sign up?
There is a lot to consider when choosing the right course and mentor, but it’s well worth your time and effort to find reputable teachers who truly want to help anyone who is keen about starting their own internet business.…

Do Your Homework Before Starting Your Business

May 8, 2022 Comments Off

Someone once said that starting a business is not easy, and they certainly knew what they were talking about. Owning your own business is somewhat like a roller coaster. At one point you may feel that you have everything in control and at another it seems that things just cannot go right. With the economy changing all the time, experience means everything, and yet for first timers and new entrepreneurs, experience is the most difficult thing to come by. Fortunately, there are a lot of experienced entrepreneurs who are willing to lend their experience to newcomers. They help the new entrepreneurs in understanding all the important things about setting up a business. Here are some of these tips to help you get started:
Have a Business Plan Handy
Prepare a Marketing Strategy for Yourself because if you know the ropes, you will know that no start up can be successful without a good business plan. Plenty of people, who begin with a new business, need seed money or starting capital for their business. Even if something inside you says you do not have the time or the requirement to write a business plan, do not listen to your instinct. Instead, set some time off and write down a simple business plan. A good investor will not entertain you unless you approach them with one. So put your energies in preparing a good business forecast with all your visions, goals and strategies outlined. It is good sense to also include an exit strategy in your business plans. This will help your investors see that you have foresight.
Ignore the Past
A lot of entrepreneurs tend to fixate on the past, especially if they were a part of a failed project. A lot of businesses fail within the first few years of existence but that’s just the way it goes. Try to learn from your past mistakes, but do not fixate on them. Learn to let go and start afresh. The expectations of clients keep changing and it is possible that the mistakes you made in the past are no longer mistakes. So tread carefully, but confidently.
Hire Prudently
We all want to be surrounded by family and friends at all times, but let’s face it, your business is not the place for your friends and family. While you may want to hire them, know that it is very difficult to fire a family member or a close personal friend, even if they are not working out well for you. Hire people who can who can add value to your business and not those who make you feel comfortable.…

Online Business Ideas

May 3, 2022 Comments Off

Wanting to start an online business opportunity but having trouble coming up with exciting online business ideas? Putting your time and money into an idea that is profitable but also interesting to you is the key to having a successful online business. Many people are looking for these types of ideas that can change into lucrative careers; and the great news is there are thousands of online marketing ideas just waiting to be started. Here is a list of just a few ideas to get the wheels in motion.
Blogging is a great way to put your passions and ideas into something that can then turn into a very profitable venture. It is very easy to start a blog part-time and as you see more and more opportunity for your blog, you can make more time to focus on its growth. There are many ways to make money blogging, which include advertising and affiliate products.
Offering a service to the general public via Internet is another great opportunity to transmute your own ideas into an online business. You can use this type of business to offer you own talents, such as jewelry making; or you can offer a general service such as gambling, pay service or any other general service to people who come to the site.
Another option to research is the development and design aspect of the Internet. Many people are in need of web development, site management, and professional design skills. Freelancing this type of work is a great opportunity to make your own schedule and work from home.
eBay is another fast and effective way to make money online; especially if you have valuables around your house you are no longer in need of. While this is a harder business these days to make into a full time gig there is definitely room to make some quick and easy cash!
Lastly, network marketing is a great way to start something that could potentially leave you getting income for years to come. Residual income is one of the top perks of the network-marketing world. Not only that, but social media has made this type of online business much easier to connect with many people interested in the product you are selling.
These are only a small handful of the thousands of online business ideas that are available. Researching these ideas and seeing which one will ultimately fit your needs and wants will get you on the right track to having a successful business in the future.…

Every Successful Business Needs A Plan

April 21, 2022 Comments Off

A business plan is your map to the money. It tells you where you’re going to get it and how much of it you’re going to be able to keep. And just like any map, the more detail the plan has, the easier it makes it to get to your destination.
Do you need a business plan? Would you hire someone to remodel your kitchen who didn’t have a set of blueprints? I’m sure you wouldn’t think of it. So why run a business without a plan? Unfortunately, it happens all the time, which may be the reason well over 500,000 businesses fail every year.
Most of the small business owners I deal with really know their craft. They know what materials to use, which vendors offer the best terms, which customer is most likely to complain, and so on. They’re also pretty good business people. They understand controlling expenses, tracking labor and material, and pricing their product to make a profit. They work hard and are justifiably proud of the results.
Their business plans, though, all too often sound like “If I build it, they will come.” That may work in the movies, but it stands as much chance for success as a plan to install a tonneau cover that doesn’t include the model number of the truck.
If you expect to run a profitable business, you need a business plan for many of the same reasons you need a plan to remodel a house. It helps you focus on the important factors that contribute to success. It helps you make key decisions on everything from the types of work you look for to the number of employees (if any) that you hire. A sound business plan is also an absolute must if you are looking for capital, whether it be from investors, banks, or even suppliers.
A concrete business plan identifies the customers, quantifies the sales they will produce, and analyzes how profitable those sales will be. It’s like a job estimate that begins at the end of the process (the sale to the customer) and works backward. It helps you determine how much material to order and how much labor to plan on, project the costs, and figure out whether the job will be profitable at the price quoted. Only, instead of doing it on a job-by-job basis like an estimate, the business plan does it for your company as a whole over a period of time.
A business plan isn’t really about what kind of work you’re going to do or how much shop space you need. Those are elements of it, but they are so minor that they’re almost footnotes. There are five basic components:
1. Business Description – A short statement about why the business exists and what it hopes to accomplish. Generally, the more specific-and shorter-the better.
2. Marketing Plan – Answers the questions about how the business will be successful. Who is going to buy the product or service? Why? What need does it satisfy? How many potential customers for it are there? How often will they buy? What are their competitive alternatives? What price will they pay? How will they know about it? How will you get it to them?
3. Financial Plan – Shows the expected financial results of the marketing plan. How much income will be produced? What net worth will be generated? Who will receive that income (you or the bank)?
4. Cash Flow Plan – The step-by-step instructions for generating cash and keeping it. How will the working assets be acquired? When will operating cash be needed? How soon will profits appear? What happens until then?
5. Management Plan – Describes the shop owner or manager’s role in the business. Who will do what? What are their qualifications? How much training expense and time is required? How much time will be devoted to production, marketing, and administration? It also includes contingency plans for events like natural disasters, up- and downturns in the economy, and competitive changes.
This very brief description of each component is not at all complete but it should give you a flavor of what kind of information, hard data, guesstimates, and reasoning go into the business plan. Most of all, a good business plan needs to be grounded in reality, not wishes. I like to say that it should produce an optimistic outlook based on pessimistic expectations.
Preparing a good plan doesn’t happen over a lunch hour. It requires research and thought. Sound business plans can come in many forms, but they all have one thing in common: they are in writing. Whether you use one of the many good software packages available or fill up a loose-leaf binder with pencil-written notes, the act of writing it down forces you to give your plan …
