You do not have to wander around town looking for

real estate to get into business for yourself. You

can always start an internet business, provided you

can offer a viable product or service, or take

advantage of opening one of many available

franchises. Your abilities, desire and financial

resources can help determine the type of business

and how long it may take to get it started.

When

considering starting an internet business you need

to determine the type of business you want to be

involved with. You have the choice of selling

products or services as well as whether you want to

sell your own product line or someone else’s. The

same can be true for service-related businesses.

There are several companies offering services that

you can resell and make a profit and if you find

any of them useful, you may want to be involved.

You can also choose to sell a combination or

products and services to take advantage of

different aspects of the online shopping venture.

While niche marketing and focusing on one product

line has proven successful, so has being able to

take advantage of different needs for different

customer bases. Niche markets are more focused

while a product mix reaches more of your targeted

audience. You can also offer backend products, such

as printer paper and ink to go with printers.

Working capital is a serious consideration in

starting any internet business and probably the

biggest expense will involve marketing your

business. A good business plan can help you

determine your target audience, which in turn will

help determine where you will focus your marketing.

This plan should be part of the overall business

plan as without a specific market to target, you

could end up simply throwing money into the wind

and hoping it falls where it will do the most

good.

Sustaining growth is another planning

process and depending on your product line can be a

viable exercise. Every business that sells

merchandise should plan to offer products that are

considered disposable. Items that customers will

need to replenish or replace when used to gain the

possibility of repeat business. Some businesses,

such as home mortgages, are only able to sell to

the same customer once, or maybe twice so they are

constantly on the lookout for ways of generating

more customers.

A business offering disposable

items do not have to continually focus on new

customers, rather good customer service and quality

products can provide continued growth based on

repeat shopping by the same customers. For example,

if you sell digital cameras, it may be years

between sales to the same customer. However, you

can bolster your sales by also offering memory

cards and printing services or supplies to bring in

additional sales to existing customers.
