Starting an Internet Business
The siren call of starting a business on the Internet is hard to resist. Work when
you want, do it from home, make lots of money (even when you're asleep) - what's
not to like, right? You'd be a fool not to jump in and start building that website
or writing a blog!
Not so fast. There are more Internet millionaire "wanna-bes" than
you might think. And many have spent more than a few years and more than a few thousand
dollars in a vain effort to start a profitable Internet business.
It may seem that
"everybody" is making money online, but that's simply not the case. And not many
people will admit their frustration, partly because no one hates admitting failure
but also because perception is everything online. If you are perceived as a failure,
no one will buy from you, which makes you fail even faster.
So what are the disadvantages
and roadblocks that potential Internet entrepreneurs encounter?
The first is the
learning curve - it's steeper than you might think, and there's no single "how-to"
process to follow.
Succeeding at an online business requires mastery of several key
abilities, not all of which directly correlate to doing business offline. For example,
you not only have to build a user-friendly and relevant website or blog, you have
to drive traffic to it, all without making any mistakes that cause you to lose credibility
in your prospect's mind and cause them to click away from your site.
Not easy!
And
though there are countless experts, books, and how-to courses on how to start a business
online, it's hard for a beginner to know who to believe, and there are multiple online
business models to choose from as well.
The second issue, which was mentioned above
but which warrants more attention, is the problem of driving traffic to your website.
Novice Internet marketers know they want their site to be found in the search engines,
but often vastly underestimate the amount of competition they have for the keywords
and search phrases they desire.
The Internet reality is that top-ten rankings for
most popular keywords is extraordinarily difficult to achieve - which means that
the novice "Interpreneur" will need to master the art of advertising online, which
can become quite costly.
