Three mistakes you should avoid when start doing online business





Everyone now is using internet service in daily life, and internet truly provides us opportunities to expand our business. Here are some common jobs available to be carried out online: free lancer, online store keeper, affiliate program, or just like me, a software writer who make a living by selling software online. When we start our business, we all have confidence and some knowledge about we are going to do. Is it enough to make sure we will be successful? No, we lack of experience. This article will show you three common mistakes we may make at the beginning stage of our online business.





Not Having a Website


If you are doing online business or internet related business, website is very critical for you. Most people look for opportunities of working all the time; they expect to make deal with other people. This is normal, but not an active way of doing business. A website will somehow change this situation, because a website gives other people chances to know you or your business. Once you earn some reputation in your field, people will be glad to search you online and log in your website to see what deals they can make with you. Please remember to dress up your website and update it regularly. If you can not do this by yourself, then hire somebody else to do so, or purchase website design service on Ebay.

Over Confident about PPC


PPC is a well received and approved strategy to drive your website’s traffic and increase the sales at the same time. The question is if PPC fits you well? Not very, since I think you are just a starter, and this way of promoting is way expensive for us. My recommendation is doing your business step by step. Once you have some stable traffic and some reputation, you will need to consider PPC then. By that time, PPC will bring you not only traffic but also conversions and deals.





Do Not Spam


Since we eagerly hope to expand our business and let more people know us, to spam by email, forum, articles may achieve our goal more "quickly". It is sure this way will attract other people’s eyes and bring you some sales. The average rate of conversion is no higher than 7%. But have you ever think about those people who are being spammed? The rest 93% people will consider that you bothered them and may have a bad mouth for you and more terrible your business. Since Rome was not built in a single day, your business should be carried out step by step.





Though the internet market is very huge for everyone who favors its great potential benefits, we need to avoid the above three mistakes to expand our business well. In addition, to those software writers like me, just pay attention to your product. Submission software will help you greatly when you decide to do software promotion.
