How To Start A Business Online
by: Thomas Lemay
If you are a beginner, don't be scared everybody out there started where you are. If you want to build your own internet business, start by determining what you would like to sell online or what you think you could help people with.
If you are selling a product or service first you should start by getting a paypal account which is free and perfect for new businesses because you dont have any up front fees or monthly fees, you only pay a percentage of your profits. To move on to your website, get a program like microsoft front page, I know programs like this look a bit complicated at the beginning but trust me if you just play around with it copying and pasting stuff a few hours a day, you will see it is just as easy as using microsoft word. Make yourself a nice banner at the top using photoshop, again just playing around with the simple tools of these programs you can do some really cool stuff.
When ever you encounter a problem, go to Google and make a search with your question and most likely you will find a forum or a website that will help answer your question or lead you to someone that can. Your website has to look attractive, so start by determining what colors you want your background to be and the text etc... Go to other websites selling similar products as yours to get some ideas. Get a program like AAA Logo, you can make all sorts of cool clipart with this program that you can add to your site to make it look more professional. Another thing you should keep in mind is that your website will never be perfect it takes constant attention to continue increasing the look and effectiveness of it so be patient. You can even create your first website using one of those free hosting and website building companies, it's a good way to practice and get the look you want your website to be.
Try to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop to make cool little designs to put onto your website. Once you have your product and you've learned to create web pages, just go ahead and find a hosting company like godaddy for example, it costs as little as $40 per year including you domain name. Take your time picking your domain and make sure it has your product name in it because your website adress is important in achieving top rankings in google for that keyword. In order to put your website live you need to upload you web pages, it's as easy as copying and pasting files into a folder, you just need a login name and password wich the hosting company provides you with. The reason I am writing this article is to boost you to do it, so many people including me did'nt know how to do all this, have a positive attitude and keep in mind that nothing will block you from your goal. If you have any questions or need help with any of these steps I would be more that happy to help you out.
