The 8 Steps for Starting a
Business Online :
-
Chose Your Products
Find the needs or demands, not the products.
Go to
wordtracker (commercial) or
overture (free), and look for well-searched keywords (searched a lot
of times). Then, find a product related to those well-searched keywords.
Being searched a lot of times means a lot of people are looking. If you
find a product which a lot of people are looking for, you can sell it a
lot.

-
Buy a Domain Name
You need your own domain name, not like YourISP.com/~UserName. You can get
one less than $10/year. Though, don't buy any keyword-rich domain name. It
won't give you a boost in search engine rankings. (At least, it isn't a
significant factor.) Your domain name will be your own brand name, like
aol.com or amazon.com. You don't want a keyword-rich domain for your brand
name, do you?
-
Make Your Site
You have only 8 seconds or less to grab visitors' attention. If you fail,
they are gone. Moreover, if you confuse visitors, they are gone. You need
to make a website that people want to brows.
