Starting a Online Business

Starting a online business on Internet can be a big resource of income these days because the Internet is growing each day. Since the last few years the Internet is growing by billions of users each year and research indicates that it will be growing and growing in the next few years. It will be a great time to start your own business now because almost everyone is using the Internet to buy stuff and sell stuff. In this blog I will give you tips on how to maintain and build a successful business.

Building and maintaining a online store may sound easy but it's not. Anybody can build a online store out there and start selling products but you will need to know if the products will sell and if you are going to get traffic.

First of all do not sign up for companies that say you can have a online store for 20 Pounds a month and sell our products and earn commission, well all I can say DO NOT sign up to these companies because most of them are scam. What you will notice is after a few months you have made no profit at all or all you've done is lost money.


Think about the design -Design is so important because if the design doesn't look or feel good the potential buyer will leave. That's why I've listed some mistakes that lots of people do when starting there own online business.

1.Don't use red colour on blue because this combination is said to hurt people's eyes.

2.Don't put any pop up windows on your website because it will definitely annoy your visitor and he will just leave your website and start searching for different websites

3.Don't show a counter on your website because if a visitor sees the counter bar and let's say you've only had 10 visitors he will get the feeling that the website site is very unpopular and will just leave.

4.Always include a search button on your website because if the buyer wants to look for a specific product he can type it in and search for the product.

5.Don't over crowd your website for example if you've got animated pictures or advertisers all over the place the visitor will just leave that's why its important to keep your website clean and tidy so your visitor will have a good feeling.

Use the best product -Make sure to sell the best product on the market. You need a product that people want and are looking for at the lowest price because you know and I know that a visitor always looks around on different websites and then makes a choice from which website he is going to buy.

tips for beginners how to get started.

1.Sell stuff that are popular on the market so you can earn you some money.

2.Make your website easy to use and make the design of your website look professional.

3.Make sure you have all different payments available for your buyer so that the buyer can choose out of all different options available that suit him best.

4.If you ship abroad make sure you give the product on time and make sure you use a good trusted shipping method. Make use of UPS, FedEx, DHL and Parcel Force, these are the big companies.

5.Be legal and DO NOT scam people.

6.Try to make your product as cheap as possible so that people will buy from your site and not from other sites that have the same product 20 pounds more expensive.

Try avoiding these points.

1.Requiring log in/registration is a common mistake because buyers want a easy and fast way to buy products straight from the website and don't have to register, mostly if you have to register visitors will just leave because they can't be bothered registering.

2.Not showing shipping prices first, this is a disadvantage because people start to place there orders and then at the very end the shipping prices are visible and because of the high price the price will just scare them off and they will start looking somewhere else.

3.Another common mistake is the product information. If you do not have the product information the visitor will not buy anything because he wants to know all the specification's and details of the product before he's going to buy anything.

4.Always have the checkout button visible and make sure visitors always can see what they are purchasing.

5.Always have your business Email or phone number visible so that if a customer needs information he can contact you.


These are the first steps to make when starting a online business.
