Starting a small business with a small budget is troublesome. But what the new small business owner don't know is, today's medium like the internet offer variety of ways for the new entrepreneur to get massive exposure for their business by a little or no money involved at all.
First and foremost, there are few types of business. There are sole proprietor, partnership, corporation and limited liability company (LLC).
For a small business owner, the easiest and simplest way is to register a sole-proprietor.
Next, you should start creating a book and put up a business website.
If writing a book sounds scary to you, why not start by writing your own ebook first. Which is less hassle and cheap.
The ebook that you going to write should answers the common problems in your market.
There are many ways to do research online and get into their conversation. One of the easiest way to start is, getting into forums and start reading common question that the forums members address.
After a while, you will start to see the trend and problems that your market currently facing.
Do some research and find solution to the problems. Write your findings in microsoft word and convert it into the ebook format (.pdf).
Put up a website or blog and create a web form where you can capture your visitors information. With as little as $8 per month for your website hosting and $19 per month for customer information database, you can have your online business smoothly run.
Lastly, you must figure out how to market your ebook and website. You have to put at least 90% of your time and effort figuring out on how to get noticed in these digital ocean, which is the hardest part for a new small online business.
Online world and specifically Google, always put searchers first. So, we as the business owner should have this in mind. As Sir Nightingale told, we must find ways to served the customer first. By serving and giving invaluable information and product, the market will notice, like and soon love us.
So, what ever online marketing medium such as pay per click, search engine optimization, press released and article marketing, we must put a hyper-relevancy information as our top priority marketing strategy.
For pay per click marketing example, before start your campaign, you have to start think like the customer and find the most relevant keyword phrase that they will use to find your product. If you'll try to bid for the common term and less relevant, google will charge a high price for the term and you'll be wasting your money to a non-buyer.
By now, I hope to see you start decide what kind of small business you would like to build, planned and put a deadline when you are going to write your ebook and put up your website.
It does not have to be perfect, but it should start as soon as possible as the other person on the other side of the world also like you and do have to same idea. Just remember, for every minute you delay, is a gain to the other person.
