So you want to start a business on
Internet?What kind of business? Where do you start? What do you intend to do? Have you a product that you would like to sell? Or have you a service to provide? What experience do you have?
These are just basic questions you must ask yourself before you even think about starting a business.
The vast majority of web businesses are started by people who have no business experience whatsoever. They are under impression that all that you have to do is to set up a website, put a couple of adverts in a few ezines, then sit back and wait for money to start pouring in. Life is never that easy.
This brings us to question, "How do you start a business using Internet?" which can be answered in a number of ways. All of them quite legitimate. Ask a dozen successful internet entrepreneurs how they got started and you will probably get a dozen different answers.
This does not mean that if they were starting from scratch right now that they would follow same path. They will all have learned from mistakes that they made on way up. I know that I have.
How would they do it now? Remember that Internet is constantly changing. What worked a couple of years ago is not necessarily best way to go now.
How would I do it?
To get money coming in as quickly as possible, building a website would have to wait. The first thing is to have something to sell.
Ideally, something that can be delivered electronically. Something like an instruction book. There are hundreds of sites that will sell you rights to one or more of their existing stock of books. You can then sell it as often as you can and keep all of profits.
How do you sell it?
You need a system that allows your customers to download your book. You will also need a method of collecting money. You will then need a method of collecting email addresses of your customers so that you can make them a further offer at a later date. If you are new to internet this willrequire a certain amount of expertise.
There is an alternative way of doing it. Sign up to an affiliate program, owners of program will do all that is necessary regarding downloading and seeing that you get your just rewards. All you have to do is to sell it.
