Recap: The Simplest, Free Online Business Plan.

.: #Lessons revision: A recap of our previous lessons~   :-)

Seriously free, but comes with hard and smart work to make sure our business (and profits) runs indefinitely.
  • Zero start-up cost
  • Free tools
  • Very profitable

What we should do? This is our simplest and free online business plan.
  • Create an online ID
  • Build our business space
  • Find our market
  • Prepare our products/services
  • Attract our customers

The simplest and free online business plan.

Create an online ID.
To use all free tools available on the Net, we need to have our own ID. With minimum of two IDs, your online business registration now is much much easier. What I meant with online ID is your e-mail account. It would be nice for you to have one Yahoo! ID and one Google ID. We'll use these IDs a lot later~

Build our business space.
This blog (our internet marketing online class) prefers doing online business and e-marketing without the need to use a lot of money, or I rather say it that I love to use free reliable tools out there. Not all free tools are great (and secured), and it would be advisable for you to opt for paid services if you had more money to spent. For starters, we'll use free blog services and then the earnings later we can migrate to self-host our own blogs or sites~  ;-)

Find our market.
The most important thing about selling online is how can our online business become visible to our customers/prospects? Internet is a very big big world, it might be *impossible* for them to notice us. Luckily, we have internet giants who voluntarily helping us to show our business to them. But with a little trick and strict T&C. Better say it as 'hard work done the smart way'.

Prepare our products/services.
After finish building our business space, prepared with our chosen niche, it's time to think what we're gonna sell for our business? Are we selling products or selling our expertise? What about if we do not have anything to offer?

Attract our customers.
Now everything is ready, we need to go all out to reach our customer. Again, this is the most delicate and the most important part to ensure our business become a success. We need to attract our customer ethically, give them what they wanted so much - help to provide their problems with the best solution, consistently interacts with them, and leave them impressions about our online business.

There you go, that is our simplest and free online business plan. You should get the overall idea how we gonna do it, and please start taking actions now! The sooner the better~   ;-)

Search Engine Helps Online Business a Lot~

search engine by Danard Vincente on flickr
.: Remember about making our internet community (a.k.a. our valuable customers) desperately and voluntarily visits our website (a.k.a. our online business) without forcing them to do it?

Using the previous logic, it would be futile to make our customers notice about our online business. But, thanks to search engine technology, those days were long over. Using the correct marketing techniques, it won't be so hard to get listed in any search engine results.

What is the connection between search engine and our customers?
Search engine is a webpage designed to search information on the internet >> Then our customer use it to solve their problems or getting information >> (With proper techniques), they arrive at our online business and found their answers.

Question:
And, you might ask, how do we get to sell or give *exactly* the stuff/the answers/the information that *exactly* matches with what our customers is looking for?

...
...
...
Got your answer already?
:-?
...

Answer:
We give them *exactly* what they want! It's that simple. Riiiite? Rite rite rite?? Heehee~   :-)


Okay, we now know exactly what we going to give them. To do that, we go 'niche'~~

What is the 'niche'?
Our answer lies in the next post~~

(A reminder: While it's best not to rely solely with search engines to get our customers, and it's not the only way actually, lets just learn this first, and later we go on with other techniques as well, okay?)
