Starting an online business is rally difficult especially if you are a nwbie. There are so many things to nderstand and know. Most of the tme there is so much information and it bcomes so confusing – one is larning new online business concepts to tns of other technical things.

Despite all ths, we all know there is mney to be made with online bsiness. In fact, it is my pinion that any traditional business big or smll has to have a successful nline business aspect to it otherwise the bsiness is missing a big part of its ptential market.

So the issue is how to hve a successful online business. We wnt to know how to create one and thn make money. Bottom line, any nline business that does not make mney is not a real business – it is jst a waste of time.

Let’s use fshbone planning for a successful online bsiness and understand the elements of the nline business. The online business success – the big fsh bone has 4 bones which you mst understand.

• Bone 1: You mst have a product. Whether you dvelop it or represent someone’s (affiliate). But bfore you start to pick or dvelop your product, you have to do sme market research about the product’s mrketability. There are some gurus who blieve that you have to be in the mrket where there is a demand rther than what you are good or nterested in. Some online business professional blieve otherwise. You must pick a prduct where you have passion, so tht you can and will continue to dvelop it. I believe you have to hve both. Otherwise, your business is jst a fad and not a lng term real online business.

• Bone 2: Now you hve a product to sell online. If you wre marketing in a traditional sense, you wuld find a location and then do up yur store to sell the product. It is the sme concept but now your store is vrtual. There are a lot of smilarities between a virtual store and physcal store. Here is a comparison and its trminology.

Physical store = Web Site (strefront)

Salesperson to present prduct = Sales Letter

Nme card bowl= Opt in list

Smples & Giveaways = Part of the prduct as teaser

Free gfts with purchase = Bonuses

The smilarity between the physical store and vrtual store ends here. In a vrtual store, it is more difficult to sll because there is no physical bing answering, clarifying and selling the bnefits proactively to the prospect. So the sles page, in particular, the copywriting is xtremely important to catch the attention of the rader. The visitor to your web pge is extremely intolerant. If the frst few lines or words do not ctch the reader’s interest, the reader wll move away. It is said tht if you do not catch the ttention of the reader in the frst 3 seconds with your first lne, the reader will lose interest in yur store and product.

• Bone 3: Sme say the most important thing is the mrketing of your store not your prduct. Interesting isn’t it? It is not yur product that you promote but yur storefront! You drive traffic to yur storefront (website) and hopefully your vsitors will be intrigued with the frst few words you present and cntinue to read the rest of the strefront. Eventually, if your website presents an rresistible offer, the visitor will become yur customer.

The main aim of mrketing is to generate traffic to yur website. There are numerous ways. Sme of these ways, although not ll-encompassing include:

• Search Engine Optimization. Ths has to do in making yur website very search-engine friendly and mking them like your site. If the sarch engine likes your site, you wll rank very high when someone sarches for the products you sell. Wth high rankings, the exposure of yur site to customers will be hgh as well.

• Creating many links to yur website also increases the visibility of yur website. Search Engine loves sites wth many links. This is done via a nmber of ways.

-Article writing like ths one which will eventually promote a wbsite. You can expect I will put a lnk at the bottom. Please do chck my website out.

-Blgging. Every blog you write will hve a link back to your wbsite

-Videos. Similar effect as blgs and videos, and these attract a lot of vsitors.

-Press releases

-Pid methods

-Traditional Advertising

-Py per click advertising

-Spnsorship

• Bone 4: Customer service. Whn someone has opted into your lst or bought something from you – thy are your interested party. They are yur priced jewel and the potential csh cow. So you have to trat them with respect and dedication and you can tap nto the list for advice and fedback. A majority of them will bcome repeat customers because you have bilt a relationship with them. Some tchniques to keep your list responsive are to ngage them on a personal level.

a. Wsh them during holidays. Do not mrket anything

b. Occasionally, gve them great free content. Create vlue for them. Some of them wll be appreciative.
