how to start an online business?

Jere answers:
Hi there!
I have recently started an online business and would like to share some of my experiences with you.
Before you start, think what product / service is of interest to you. Just because someone claims a particular business is lucrative, does not mean that its ideal for you. For eg. If you do not like or believe in the products / services of the business you are planning to start, you will never be happy working on that business.
At the same time, I would like to give you a word of advice. When I started my search for an online business, in the initial few weeks i was very cynical of every opportunity that came my way… I doubted everything because every business said they were the best!!! But then i realised that to move forward and select a business… Its good to be skeptical but NOT cynical. Being cynical will never take you even a step forward. You need to be open to listening to different ideas and different opportunities and then use your due diligence in deciding which is the best option for you and then make your informed decision about it. Never let anyone sway you into making a decision… Always make sure that you are the one who has actively decided into getting into the business.
Also, never pay a cent for beginners kit / information pack before you have joined a business. If the business is legitimate, they will not ask you for any payment before you have decided to join and they will always offer all information / support and help for FREE.
Another point I would like to highlight while we are speaking about payments is the difference between online jobs / and business opportunities.
You need to decide if you want an online JOB where you are working for someone else who send out your pay to you OR an online BUSINESS which is your own business.
Again, if its a job, I would say a legitimate employer should never ask for any money from you before or even after joining the company.
On the other hand, if its a business that you are starting, and you are convinced about the product, business model and you future, you must be prepared to treat this as a professional business and understand that there will be start up costs. How much you are willing to spend of course, depends entirely on your decision / and how much you are convinced about the business.
And finally, working on an online business means that you will be working from home in most cases. So be prepared to set your own times but have the determination to stick to it. It is very easy to get swayed and become lax and put off things till “tomorrow”. Don’t fall into that trap. Have a mind set that this is a professional business and treat it as such. Think what you would expect of an employee working in your firm and have similar expectations from yourself… Because… Aren’t you your own employee???
Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please feel free to mail me at namita@leverage4success.com Also, let me know if you need details about my own business. I will be more than glad to help you out!
All the best with your venture!
Regards,
Namita
