There are several steps to starting a small business but the hardest one is simply starting. Once you are started you will gain momentum and you are well on your way. Advantages of building a business online include you can quite easily sell someone else's product, service or business opportunity and do extremely well.
Something you can do which will help you stick with your new business is to think of something you love doing and finding away to make money at it. Personally, I am a tax accountant and I enjoy helping people by giving them free tax advice. If you follow my links at the bottom of this page you will be taken to my website where I have some pages about tax advice. There is also other ideas for an online business that you can check out. My point is to do something you enjoy and the money will follow.
Next you will need a domain name. Godaddy.com is as good a place as any to buy a domain name but you can do a search on google for domain names to find many others. Also choose a domain name that incorporates your company name. For example my domain name is: homebasedbusinesslegitimate.com and my online business name is Home Based Business Legitimate.
Next you need a website. This can be daunting but I highly recommend it because this becomes your location. You will want a site you can begin linking to and providing content for. You can go to google.com and type in website building or free website creation and you will find several choices. Yahoo has a great service that is very inexpensive and easy to use.
You are well on your way to becoming the next internet millionaire so what is missing? Ah...traffic. You could have the cure for cancer and it would do you little good if you do not have people coming to your website to find out about it. The best way to generate traffic that I am aware of is writing articles. It is free and they will pay dividends for years to come as they move through cyber space. You can also use these same articles to add pages to your website which is very important as your customers like content.
The next step is to get your articles out on the internet and the best way to do this is to use a service I have found called Unique Article Wizard. You can find their link on my website. I cannot say enough about how this will drive traffic to your site. With this service you can submit unlimited articles each month to up to 9,000 different article directories and websites. Let me just tell you that this will create thousands of one way links back to your website which will quickly move you up in the search engine rankings.
The final step I am going to recommend is to try to write an article 2 or 3 times each week and have it submitted. This is the most critical step to ensure long term success.
In conclusion, the steps to starting a small business online are to first decide what you are going to do. Next you need to register a domain name and then build a website. After this you need to market this website and the best way I know of is through writing articles and then submitting them using Unique Article Wizard.
