SETTING UP AN ONLINE STORE - FREE BUSINESS ADVICE

 

Starting an Online Business

So you've got a great online business idea and now you want to make 700 million dollars by selling it before you've even started?

1 - Is it a good idea?
Read the business planning section and budgeting areas to determine if your idea is actually feasible. Many people are too focused on their idea to stop and think about the practicalities of making it a reality. It takes alot of time and money to develop an idea into a commercial success. 


2 - Business start up basics
Register your company name, register your domain name, register trademarks, get a PO Box and a telephone number that will be portable and not invade your personal life.


3 - Select appropriate content management software, web host, a web developer and designer
Picking the right technologies and people early on will ensure best results at the end.


4 - Promoting and market your website
You need to let your current and potential customers know about your new website. Ensure that you include your website details on all your promotional material.
