E-Commerce Education For the New Internet Business Entrepreneur
By Ronnie Mack
It can be intimidating, time consuming, frustrating and risky for a new enterpriser who has aspirations and dreams running their own internet business.
The spawning of the idea of a product or web based service can quickly get extinguished when it's time to build the business infrastructure!
The most important aspects of starting an internet business are a positive attitude and determination.
The most important tool is your plan!
In addition to your plan you need to have a basic level of competency with ecommerce (i.e. the process of selling on the internet).
The process of developing your internet business infrastructure will be filled with gotchas, do-overs, mistakes and "wish-I-had-known's".
Some tips :
First, Get educated and exposed how an internet business works
- What is required?
- What is web host provider?
- What is a merchant account and gateway provider?
- What is a shopping cart?
- What is SEO?
- What are my total costs ?
Second, Develop a plan with a realistic time table... some items to consider :
- Set aside time for researches... are there similar ideas out there?
- Evaluate the competitive landscape
- Nail down your business identity... biz name, location, domain,logo etc
- Set up you business "office"... telephone, mailbox, EIN number, insurance, business cards etc.
- Decide which business entity is best suited for you... sole proprietorship, LLC, Partnership or corporation
- Launch your Web Site design, development and integration
- Marketing campaigns... yep, you have to attract clients!
Third, Understand the necessity to nurture and sustain your business
- Is it essential to have an sustaining program that understands the heartbeat of your prospective clients
- Your potential marketing "sweet spot" will fluctuate and change over time.
One more thing, you don't have to do this all by yourself! There is a wealth of information and web based service providers who can help you... if you know where to look and what to ask for!!! Plus... it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.
