Three resources essential to have an Internet business
Regardless of what your branch of business, there are certain requirements or tools that are essential to carry out a business plan on the Internet.
Internet is simply the “average” is the window or window where your products or services will be exposed to the world or to your specific market.
If we make the analogy with a conventional business, we note that although the tools and resources are somewhat different, are all equally important for business to have a 100% functional.
For example, if you want to open a service business (any area) outside the internet, you will need a place to work (office, workshop, etc.). In case you have to move to service, need a means of transport. Besides all, you need the essential tools to perform the job, whatever it is they (electronic equipment, tools of manual labor, supplies, etc.).. Parallel need accounting tools (journal, calculator, bills, etc.) And last but very, very important, you’ll need promotional and advertising media so that people know the service you offer (classified, advertising in magazines, brochures or brochures, etc.).
On the Internet you will need all this, but in a manner somewhat different.
Although some things are exactly alike, such as accounting (numbers and liabilities are equal in whatever means) there will be other differences.
Let’s start with the basics:
1. Domain name: this is just the name that follows http://www and will have an extension that may be. Com,. Net,. Org. . Info,.’s, Etc. Your domain name is the way people recognize you and you will locate. It is a hybrid between brand name and position in space (in this case virtual). Your domain name is one of the most important things you should consider before starting your business. Must predominantly represent what you offer and who you are. A domain name containing the keywords for your product or service will be much more powerful than a domain name “pretty”, “artistic” or “creative.” For example, the domain luisfotografoartístico.com have much better positioning on the Internet when people search on google or any other search engine using the words “artistic photographer,” we say the domain lentemagico.com
The interesting thing is to register your domain name is very cheap (approx. $ 9 per year) and can record 2, 3 or those who want, using different names and address to your website. The place I used to register all my domains are: Godaddy, an international company based in USA to whom I have much more confidence as the companies I could find locally. I recommend that you register your domains there.
2. The hosting server or: is where the content is hosted on your website and other resources of your business. once you have the name, need the space to accommodate the contents of text, images, video, audio, etc, that you will use in your business. Do not fall into the temptation to use free servers, also did not convey a professional image, service and support will never be as good as a professional payment server. there are thousands of Internet servers, but the one I most frequently use Hostgator,. I also use others like Lunarpages and Hostmonster, which also are good, but Hostgator has excellent technical support and an impeccable track record in the market. The cost of renting a server is about $ 7, $ 10 USD per month. Generally you will pay in advance for a whole year (approx. U.S. $ 100 per year) and as you can see, it is also an incredible value for less, when compared with the cost of renting a conventional store or office.
3. The online payment processor: Finally (in the basics – there are many more tools you mentioned) need a way to receive online payments. To accept online payments need at least one account in Paypal, which is the most popular payment processor worldwide. However, the limitation of it is that your customers should also have a paypal account to send payments. So it is advisable to offer different alternatives, such as CCBill, 2CO, etc, which will allow your customers to pay with their cards without having to register or open an account in any company.
A very general way, these are the three key resources that need to be able to begin to catapult your internet business. Parallel need to carry out a marketing strategy to be successful (but that is a topic of conversation for another time).
If you do not know how to register your domain, or create your website or host your content, you can hire a webmaster to do it, you’ll find tutorials on the internet or you can watch for new articles and video tutorials I will publish soon .
