Nowadays more and more people are looking for ways to start an online business , whether it's to earn extra income or who really want to focus jump in this pathway as a major source of income.
And for you, who is currently reading this article, of course, also is beginning to gather information about how to do business online, is not it?
A little story ...
I remember, once when first starting an online business everything looks like absurd . Many doubt ...
Then, there was the questions in the self such as:
Can not ya run the online business?
Suitable for what I did not ya?
What steps do I need to be able to road mileage?
How much capital will be needed?
... And a myriad of other questions.
Well, here I will share experiences on how to start a business over the internet, plus the necessary steps when starting an online business , the core things that is important to do so that your business can be directly executed.
(Especially for those who are just starting to venture into this)
Despite the fact many things we can do. However, in a nutshell, there are three main steps that we can prepare. What are these measures?
Stay tuned ...
First Step ..
First of all is decide what you want to sell .
Before actually undergoing a business cycle, you have to practice to sell via the internet first. Approximately what would you offer to other people through online media.
Research the product , and if you can is look for products that sell quickly or rapidly moving.
Regarding the type of product, can form a physical product, service, or digital.
Examples of physical goods , herbal soap, herbal remedies, watches, smartphones, motorcycles, cars, food, trinkets accessories, houses and buildings, and what you can catch.
Examples of digital goods , could be an ebook, product information, online courses, software.
Examples of services , can provide website development services, online marketing services, and other services.
Do not be too detailed, which is important you have the big picture of your plans and understand the patterns of online marketing.
Well, based on my experience, this first step is the hardest.
Why?
Because we have to develop our business concept, looking for ideas, looking for suppliers, and even would not want to also have to learn the science of business. Then the barrier is, sometimes we want everything perfect. And finally do not even roads.
If I may advice, for this initial stage should not be too detailed yet. You must be willing to invest time, effort, and possibly money, to learn.
Then start by selling other people's products, the concept can dropship, resellers, and partnership with manufacturers.
So at this early stage you are not burdened with huge production costs and losses can be minimal.
Step Two ..
The next stage is to create a website .
Here you will be more struggling with things that are technical in nature, such as learning to install the application websites, and perhaps a little learning web programming language.
To create a website, you will need the name of the domain and hosting .
What is a domain? And what is hosting?
Domain is the name of your website, for example: www.namadomainanda.com.
Like a house, a domain name is the address of your home . So try when you decide to make a domain name, customize with your name, or the topic of your website, or your business type.
Hosting is a place to put your domain name.
If using the above analogy, it is like a hosting ground . The greater the capacity of hosting, it will be more knowledgeable of land the size of your home.
For the early stages, you may not need a hosting capacity is too large.
You can prepare the money for rent hosting 150 thousand, and 100 thousand to buy a domain name.
But remember, the domain name is valid only for a year, so next year if you still want to use it, you must do the extension. So also for hosting.
Maybe for those who really just started, will say "Lah, but it needs to be the cost?"
Relax .... good news you can still create a website for free. For that, you can begin to create a website with a free blog .
There are several free blog providers, including existing famous WordPress, Blogspot, Typepad, Posterous, Tumblr, and many more.
But if I may suggest, use WordPress or Blogspot. Because both of these blogs providers are well-known by Internet users in the world, and is also more easily recognized by search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
Or, if you still want to create a professional business website with its own domain name, but you're still too busy to make it yourself, you can outsource provider to the website creation services are widely available on the internet. Or could you please ask your friend made that were familiar with the web.
This is an example of a website that has been proven to bring in sales many times. Please see this post:

The Third Step ..
Once your website is finished, you can fill it with information products / services that you have. Fill your website content conclusively. Do not copy and paste, but try to use words that are appropriate for you on this website. Since this will be a means of promotion and your online office.
After that, if the website content is already available, you can begin to promote it through search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing SEO techniques, or utilizing social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest for promotion.
Wake up relationships with visitors, give the information they need. Maybe they do not directly buy your product, but when they get the needed information, then their confidence will grow, so it is likely they will buy your product on the greater.
Well, that's a great picture of the three steps of how to start an online business.
Conclusion: CTPM is the key.
C = Content, create informative content and targeted consumer
T = Traffic, bring traffic via search engines / social media / word of mouth
P = Pre-sell, build relationships with the audience / visitor
M = Monetize, offer solutions required by the candidate consumer

Determinants of success of a business, 95% is determined by the quality of the human person. These are the things that are non-technical. And the rest is technical in nature.
