Start An Online Business Without Having to Pay for Marketing/Advertising

Posted by Admin under Business

I know what you’re thinking, start and online business without having to market or advertise? Well it’s true. It is one component to a two part approach for starting an online business. For year’s many online e-Commerce businesses have attributed their success and associated costs to the traditional way of doing business online.

Approach #1

The traditional approach to starting an online e-Commerce business is to follow some simple actions to start the process. The following is a list of action items in no particular order that need to happen prior to set-up.

ü  Perform Market Research on the Business You want to Start

ü  Understand Drop Shipping or inventory management

ü  Legalize Your Business

ü  Create or buy a Domain Name

ü  Web Hosting or Site Creation

ü  Open a Checking Account

ü  eMail

ü  Website Optimization

ü  Customer Service

ü  Marketing

ü  Affiliate Programs

ü  Shopping Carts

ü  Obtain a Merchant Account

ü  Perform Competitive Research on the Internet

ü  Order Fulfillment

This is what the traditional approach is to starting an online e-Commerce business. Sounds like the same old information that you get from millions of websites on the internet. Times have changed and so has the business model. Business owners have spent countless dollars to search engines for advertising their business website. It is time that businesses that sell products get an upper hand on the market and put them in the driver’s seat. Online businesses have to pay for advertising, pay for marketing, invest countless hours on natural SEO, and a myriad of other out of pocket money that should remain in the possession of the business owner. The first approach continues to dominate the internet and will in the future.

Approach #2

The second approach requires “out-of-box” thinking. This approach focuses to looking at an online e-Commerce business with a fresh set of eyes. The first approach will act as a platform or vehicle for which businesses will process the orders and the second approach catapults the first. This model is known by multi-million dollar companies, but not to small businesses online that sell products. Remember that the traditional model is still being used and the mindset has not shifted from how to drive traffic to an e-Commerce website. Until the mindset is changed and the business owner chooses another path, business owners will not see the benefit to this approach. A comprehensive solution using the first and second approach has been fully developed and matured; however, online businesses still fail to realize their potential to capture the business. Imagine an online e-Commerce business that no longer requires excessive money to market and advertise, but simply generates income without the added expense. The thought of this approach can seem unreal. This is not the case. The reality is that the solution to this age old internet problem has been solved. In order to conceptualize this approach it does require that a business adopt this new method of business. The good news for those business owners that are skeptical of this approach, businesses do not have to abandon the traditional approach. That can continue as normal in parallel and adopt the second to achieve colossal results.

Business owners should feel that their interest level in the second approach has changed after reading this article. The desire for every business owner is to minimize costs and increase profitability. Adopting a new way to growing company profitability is here to stay it is up to the business owner to seize the opportunity before them. New business start-up’s that do not have a significant amount of capital to advertise, market, attract customers, and drive business, this is the time to act on the new approach to internet business. In searching the internet one can find work from home programs, purchase an online business already operational, start an online business, affiliate programs, financial blogging, and many more. The key is to develop a baseline of income from an e-Commerce business so that after your customer base is set, additional customers that attach themselves to you become pure profit. To expand on this, if your customer base enables a business to generate revenue with associated profit to cover expenses, the balance is profit that has no expense attached to it. The second approach to this business model achieves this. Once customers understand your approach and business overall, the business is yours to lose.  

There is a call to action on the business horizon that should not be ignored, but embraced. The potential to achieve huge profits sits at the door step for those who have an e-Commerce business or are thinking of starting one.

Your Business Plan, Your Business Blueprint

Posted by Admin under Business

What is a Business Plan?

You can pretty much define a business plan as a resume for your business idea in mind. Some may say it’s like your company’s calling card. When you need money to start your business, or when you need an office space, your business plan is what will do most of the talking to convince your investors / lenders or property managers to believe in your business and give you what you need.

Why is it important to have a Business Plan?

The time that you spend on writing a solid business plan will pay for itself in corporate strategic and tactical clarity as your business grows. A solid business plan: (not in particular order)

Allows you to describe your vision / concept in writing, helping your potential investors to understand and believe in you; it serves as a basis for discussion with third parties such as shareholders, agencies, banks, investors…etc. Allows you to identify the structure of your business, giving you the chance to focus on the big picture. Your business plan is the “framework” which your business must operate within. A solid business plan provides a considered and logical framework within which a business can develop and grow with business strategies in the long run (not for just short-term growth). Determines the startup and managing costs. Clearly defines your target audience and provides detailed research on your target market. Identifies potential opportunities and obstacles that the business may encounter down the road. Identifies the strengths and weaknesses of your business and your competitors.

No businesses are the same, and no business plans are the same. Your business plan is like your business blueprint; it should be unique. While it is important to be able to illustrate your business concept well enough for others to understand what you hope to be doing, the business plan is essential for your own use. It is about the process of developing the business plan; the process helps you to focus on exactly what you are trying to achieve. It will give you a lot more clear vision of the entire structure of your business as you develop your business plan through detailed research and planning.
