Starting Online Business: Your Top 3 Tips?

Discussion in 'General Business' started by ideamarketing, Nov 28, 2008.

  1. #1
    When starting an online business (with potential to sell/ship products nationally via the web), what are the 3 things that you would most strongly advise someone to do right off the bat? Should the biz owner start off as an LLC right away? hire a marketing team? start PPC immediately? Etc

    Think about your past experiences and what you would do differently if you were starting today.

    Thanks!

    Setup a company is a must,coz you cannot do any biz without license.
    Setup a website with unique script
    Setup promotion team that will handle the marketing and public relation of the site

    The first thing you have to do is a marketing plan.
    Then ask yourself, is this business marketable?

    You will need a valuable competitive product, then a competitive payplan and the marketing plan.
    Must needed its a real good quality product in my opinion and then the rest.

    Select a product to sell, accordingly choose the niche to build your site and then comes the marketing. These three steps are vital for online marketing business.
