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 beforehand. Roughly what would you offer to other people through online media.
Do product research, and as far as possible look for products that sell quickly and fast turnover. This means that there are many who need or market. So that we can participate in the spirit of this live online sales activities.
It's nothing really, but if our product that requires too little or narrow market, normally we would easily give up because the merchandise not being sold. *personal experience*
Regarding types of products, can form a physical product, service, or digital.
- Examples of physical goods, herbal soaps, herbal medicine, watches, smartphones, motorcycles, cars, food, trinkets accessories, home and building, and what you can catch.
- Examples of digital goods, could be an ebook, information products, online courses, software.
- Examples of services, can provide website creation services, online marketing services, car rental, tour & travel agents, agents Umrah & Hajj, and other services.
Do not be too detailed, which is important you have the big picture of your plan and understand the patterns of online marketing.
Well, based on my experience as well, the first step is the hardest.
Why?
Because we have to draft a business, looking for ideas, looking for suppliers, and even would not want to have to learn the science of business. Then the barriers are, sometimes we want everything perfect. And finally do not even roads.
If I may advice, for this initial stage should not be too detailed first. You must be willing to invest time, effort, and perhaps money, TO LEARN.
Then start by selling other people's products, can the concept dropship, resellers, and partnership with manufacturers.
Examples: insurance agents, estate agents and property, travel agents, selling clothes / fashion products with the concept of consignment, etc .. etc .. loads ..
So at this early stage you are not burdened with huge production costs and losses canminimal.

The second
The next stage is to create a website.
This website will we make it as shanties online or workshops us in cyberspace.
And delish again, if we already have a website, we can later use as a central point of reference when we want to spread online through social media promotion, forum, marketplace, or other selling sites. So if we put the status on social media, forums, etc, it's good in the bottom of the status we give a link to our website.
It also can be used as a parameter whether a person is serious about doing business online or not. By having a website, usually other people will be more mantab when they wanted to transact with us.
In the process of making a website, you will be more struggling with things that are technical, such as learning to install the application website, and maybe a little bit to learn web programming language.
Not to worry, do not rush to say "I am clueless", "do not understand the technology", "I am not a college student," and other similar words.
Because we will create a website which is a type of website that is practical, not wearing complicated. The term cool, stay "plug and play" ... plug and wear ...
After all, this is where the challenge of doing business online.
To create such a website, you will need a domain name danhosting.
So what is a domain? And what is hosting?
- Domain is the name of your website, for example: www.usahasaya.com.
Iwestern office buildings, a domain name is the address of your office. So try when you decide to make the domain name, customize with your name, or topic of your website, or your business type.
- Hosting is a place to put your domain name and website files forming.
If using the analogy of an office building at the top, hosting is like soil. The greater capacity of hosting, it will be more knowledgeable land size of your office.
So it must be remembered, domain and hosting is one unit, and can not be separated to build a website.
About how to create her website, could the method of free websites and paid websites.
Like what? I will discuss briefly here.
1. Paid Website
This method requires us to use their own domain and hosting. That is, we have to find a domain name for our website address, and then hire a hosting to be combined with the domain.
If I may be honest, this is the way I most recommend. Its advantages are many, and one of them is to have your own domain address, online business we will be more professional in the eyes of consumers and more credible.
Later we can have the website address as an example the following website
For the early stages, you may not need a hosting capacity is too large.
You can prepare the money to rent hosting 150 thousand, and 100 thousand to buy a domain name (total usually range 250-350 thousand).
But remember, the domain name is only valid for one year, so next year if you still want to use it, you must do the extension. As well as for hosting.
NB: For tips on how to choose a domain name and hosting packages as needed, can refer to this link:
2. Website Gratisan
Perhaps those of us who really just starting, will say ...
Duh, using their own domain and hosting costs, and I am still hesitant to use it ...
The good news is you can still create a website for free.
To my knowledge, there are several free blog providers are already quite well known, of which there are WordPress, Blogspot, Typepad, Posterous, Tumblr, and much more.
But if I may suggest, use WordPress or Blogspot. Since both the blog providers already widely known by Internet users in the world, and are also more easily recognized by search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
Examples of websites that use the facilities free website, pattern naming structure more or less like this:
- WordPress = http://bisnisonline.wordpress.com
- Blogspot = http://bisnisonline.blogspot.com
- Tumblr = http://bisnisonline.tumblr.com
You can see, there are frills facility provider name of the free website.
Though using the free website sometimes considered less professional, but this is still pretty good for the early stages. Later, when your business is already running, and start no income, you could consider an upgrade using the domain and paid hosting.
Tips Make Website – Simple Is The Best
Perhaps there are some of you who feel still difficult to make a website, or there is no time to learn to create their own website.
The solution, if you still want to create a professional business website and possibly also with its own domain name, you can outsource it to a website creation service providers are widely available on the internet. Or it could just ask your friends who have been made used to make web.

It is more technical, because we have to understand how site optimization in order to occupy the first page in a search engine, with a particular keyword. Yet it is precisely by understanding the patterns of these SEO, online marketing and business mindset we will be sharper.
Ohya, as I alluded to earlier in the "Step Two - Creating a Website". The website that we created earlier we will use as a reference center of online promotions that we do.
That is, once people get information about products / services from social media sites, forums, marketplace, and Google and other search engines, of course, they wondered who the hell are selling products / services. And in the end they will visit your site to get more info on about who you are and what your product.
This momentum! Do not let us lose prospects because we do not have "online office" caused by less disbelief prospective customers to our online presence.
