Getting started with an Online Business

By Christo Fouche

When I started out as a Broker many years ago, one of the first things they have taught us was to plan your work and then work your plan. Whether you are building an online business or an offline business and if you want to be successful you need to plan your strategy first.

One of the main problems with Internet Business is the fact that there are just too many options available. For most of us that is very confusing because when you have too many options, you start fiddling around and your business will get nowhere.

The first thing that you should do then is to decide what is the goal of your business. Do you want to make an additional income, do you want to go full time. The bottom line is how much money do you want to make. Get a goal which is both attainable and easy to understand. Goal setting is no weird thing, it just helps you to see where you are going.

What options are there for online business?

If you are new at internet business, the best is to start building a website around a subject that is of interest to you. You build on this website adding ads and products that you can sell and in no time you will have a great online business.

It is however more complicated than that, but don't worry, I will guide you through the process and soon you will be on your way.

Just remember this - There is no quick way out or making money overnight. All those type of techniques available on the internet will make you money initially but soon your accounts will be suspended and you will end up with a red face, no money and no business. Take time to build your business consistently, keep on learning new things, apply them and work your plan. Soon you will be in the pound seats.
