Tips on starting an online business?

I am good at jewelry making and i was wanting to start an online business. I want to know how much a website would cost and the basics of creating one. Also, do you think i should start out by selling my jewelry on a separate website like amazon or yardsellr then creating a website later on?

Jere answers:

Sell them first on an established website. Even with fees, it’ll be cheaper than creating your own and trying to get people to look at your stuff.

Before you start, make sure you have a detailed written business plan. Even if it’s side income for you and not your livelihood, you want to be sure you’ll have a good chance of making money.

James asks…

What are your tips and tricks to starting an online business?

The question is straightforward. I want to know how people make their online business successful? From how they start from scratch. How did you get your inspiration if you own an online business? Where do you get your products? Do you make them yourself or what? How do you market your products? And how did you come about making your own personal website? Did you make it yourself or hire a professional to do it? How much time out of the week does your online business take up?

Jere answers:

To make an online business successful, you must know what you are doing. You can’t just walk through your business owning days blindly. That won’t work. You also have to love what you are doing. If not, you will become bored and even find that you aren’t caring or putting enough effort into it as you should be.

To start an online business, of course you must first establish the business. You will need at least these for things: 1. Dba. 2. Ein. 3. Seller’s permit. 4. Business license.
Then, you will need a domain (www.yourname.com), website, host, shopping cart/ merchant account, etc. You can either pay someone to design the website for you (which I HIGHLY recommend if you are not good with html or css codes), or you can use a template. If you use a designer, they will let you know what shopping carts and hosting will work best with the website they created.

I got my inspiration for my business because I realized that only I can live out my dreams. I realized that I can’t work for someone else and always have my ideas put into action, or even be heard! I took a business class and fell in love. I found myself wanting to know everything about it, and actually reading business text books in my spare time.

I am not very creative with my hands, so I purchase my products from wholesalers. I love to shop, and shopping for my store, even sorting inventory, is really rewarding for me!

I market my products a few different ways. Word of mouth is a huge way!! Some how, my business almost always can be brought up in a conversation just by chance. Of course, I carry plenty of business cards around with me to hand out. I have email marketing through a subscription. I offer promotional items with my business name on it as well. There are many other things.

I did not have the time to learn how to do web design, and I wanted my website to be very customizable to my needs and wants. I knew that a template wouldn’t give me what I needed. I looked around for a web designer and glanced at many portfolios until I found one that I liked. I got VERY lucky to find a designer that offered a shopping cart in the one time fee.
Shopping carts can get very expensive, the price goes up with the more products you get. I don’t have to pay a monthly fee.

I would say that my business probably takes up a large chunk of my time during the week, including weekends. My work does not stop during the weekends. But, I got very lucky because I still have time to do things that I like… Even though taking care of my business is probably my favorite thing to do. I still find time to see my friends and spend time with my family often.

Good Luck

how do i start my ONLINE BUSINESS from scratch? ANY TIPS?

im sick of dead end jobs and manual labouring jobs…i want to know how these people set up their own online business and earn lots of money doing it, ive got the time to do it…i just dont know where to do start??? HELP!!!

Jere answers:

I would like to suggest you to start a blog with the topic which you are interested in. It is absolutely free. Tell your friends and family about your blog. Promote it on social networking websites like Twitter, Facebook, Google+ etc. After getting adequate traffic try to monetize it with advertising programs like Google adsense, Clicksor, Infolinks etc. You can also join affiliate marketing sites like CJ.com or Clickbank.com. They will pay you good commission.

Daniel asks…

I did a Graphic Designing course and I wanna do it online?

But I don’t know how to set up my business online..got tips?

Jere answers:

If you have Graphic Design education degree or diploma, and wish to start a business , the setup would require other aspects in place prior to having online website, having a portfolio and references , local contacts and previous works, an office or studio set inplace for local customers,

anything through online can be placed into a personal website, requiring a web service or own server, web forms as data files for orders and account system for banking, all those platforms and services already set as base, then anything online can simply be placed into site as services being provided,

Yahoo has some small businesses services you can get an idea from, and use if able ,
http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/

check your internet provider for possible options, if none, check local services in your area through
yellow pages or google maps,

with paper and pen, jot down what your service is al about,
what the customer needs to know/ FAQ /help,
how they apply for services,
how you execute services,
how payment is exchanged,
contact us: @ email/ phone, automated, cloud, wireless
anything to do with taxes, or % shipping, refunds,
possibility of legal sources for security or bonding, (check bottom of this Y! Page for ideas,)
with those details you merely have to place into a web-page using html /css/flash/pdf tools,
and place onto online web service site,

check places like Etsy and Ebay for how users sell actual products,
