Opportunities abound everywhere you turn nowadays online, just name it there is a way for you to turn a profit. Newsletters, store fronts, affiliate programs and content sites are just a few examples of diverse choices our there.

At turn of millennium when I first got involved on net there were far fewer websites then. Now there are a vast variety of websites on different topics all vying for attention from web surfers. Because of this growth you can ensure that competition for traffic is stiff.

One very important thing of note is that one’s success is not guaranteed online. Business online should be approached in same professional manner as one would offline.

Since building my first website I have been through countless setbacks, I once lost seven months worth of subscribers in one fatal click. Setbacks are natural though, important thing is to move ahead through fog and mist even with uncertainty.

Not a common man has turned to be an Internet Millionaire but people do make a living doing what they like on net, creating and running successful websites.

Think through what you want Website to accomplish. Focus on these questions:

1. What is purpose of Website?

2. What do I want my clients or customers to derive from site?

3. What do I expect from this Website?

4. How can I be informative to visitors, but important to my own customers?

5. How can I keep people on site and keep them coming back?

6. How can I sell on Internet?

These tips will prove a lot helpful:

Plan Your Site

Keep your designs simple. A simple design will sell more products. Keep your business simple. There must be a good mix of text and graphics with limited page scrolling. A sole proprietorship may be more equitable to you than a corporation (with partners) when you are first starting out. Keep your overhead low. The more money you have to lay out for your business, less ends up in your pocket. As much as you may want to provide copious amounts of information, people do not want to read it. When you need to provide text, be kind and limit width of text. No one wants to simulate watching a sport on a Website.
