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.
One rule of thumb in choosing something to do is find something you love and are passionate about. Your service could simply be educating other like minded people about a particular subject. There are more ways to make money online than just providing a product or service.
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.
Now that your website is created you need to drive traffic to it. The very best way is writing articles. I have spent countless hours trying to find quicker better ways to generate traffic but the best is article marketing.
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 summary, first you need to decide what your online business is going to be. Registering a domain name and building a website are the next critical steps to starting a small business online. After these steps are done then it is just a matter of driving traffic and the best thing for this I have found is writing articles and then having them submitted through Unique Article Wizard.
